Does Leave-In Conditioner Help Hair Grow?

Your hair grows, on average, about 0.3 inches every month. That’s not a lot at a time. But add up several months and you’ve got some length! And as long as your scalp is being nourished adequately, this healthy growth will continue.

However, there are ways in which to help your hair grow faster.

So, if you’ve been wondering whether or not leave-in conditioner has the potential to help your hair grow, then the simple answer is yes it does, as long as it contains ingredients that work to stimulate hair growth from the roots.

Leave-in conditioner has the potential to help your hair grow, as long as it contains ingredients that work to stimulate hair growth from the roots.

For instance, the intention of many moisturizing and repair formulas of leave-in conditioners is to make your existing hair strong and healthy enough to reduce breakage.

Regularly conditioning your hair with a standard conditioner will also help with hair health.

And then there are growth-stimulating leave-in conditioners with formulations that are enriched with essential fatty acids and oils, which work to repair your existing hair, as well as stimulate new hair growth from the scalp.

What Else Can Help Promote Hair Growth?

There are a few other things that you can do, besides using a leave-in conditioner, which will help to nourish your scalp and hair follicles. Doing these things can help your hair to grow stronger, thicker, and maybe even faster.

For starters, as long as you’re not vegetarian or vegan, eating more oily fish can do the trick of helping to promote hair growth. This is because omega-3 fatty acids help to hydrate the skin and reduce inflammation of the hair follicles, which can cause hair loss.

Fish that are high in omega-3s include salmon, tuna, and mackerel, as well as other foods like eggs, and yogurts. And if you don’t eat animal products, vegetarians and vegans can up their intake of walnuts to boost their omega-3 levels.

Another thing to try is a natural strategy you may have heard of — the apple cider vinegar rinse. Apple cider vinegar works by helping to strip hair strands of product buildup, as well as stimulating the scalp to eliminate dead skin cells that may be clogging the hair follicles.

It has also been shown to help new hair growth appear.

To do an apple cider vinegar rinse, in a plastic spray bottle, mix one part water with three parts apple cider vinegar, and spritz it into your scalp and hair after you shampoo.

Allow the solution to sit in your hair for a couple of minutes, before you rinse it out completely with cool water.

And don’t worry, as long as you rinse it out completely, your hair won’t smell like salad dressing, although it will feel super soft to the touch as a result!

Get The Blood Flowing

Finally, there’s yet another natural product that can help increase blood flow circulation on your scalp to stimulate the hair follicles, and that’s castor oil. You should only do this before washing your hair, though, as castor oil is very thick and greasy.

To use castor oil in your hair, add a few drops to your scalp, then use your fingers to give yourself a much-needed scalp massage for three to five minutes.

Not only will this feel good, but the increased blood flow to your scalp will help to transport the nutrients needed for your hair follicles to work optimally.

You may have to give your hair a second rinse after washing to get rid of the oil completely, but if you use the apple cider vinegar rinse above, then you will be killing two birds with one stone when it comes to promoting new hair growth.
