Method 2 | Modifying Your Lifestyle

1. Get your hair trimmed. It might sound counter-intuitive but getting your hair trimmed will help your hair from breaking off and this will result in your hair growing faster. With time, the strands of hair will begin to split at the ends. These split ends tangle and are more likely to be pulled out when brushed. Keeping your hair trimmed will minimize split ends.

 

2. Use a silk pillowcase. Your hair can catch on the threads of a cotton pillowcase. A silk pillowcase reduces this friction, thus reducing breakage.

• Wrapping your head in a silk scarf could be used as an alternative to a silk pillowcase. 

 

3. Avoid wrapping your hair in a towel. Wrapping your hair in a towel on top of your head after a shower can also cause breakage. Instead, gently squeeze or blot excess water out of your hair.

• You may also consider using a microfiber towel to wrap your hair since these are gentler than regular cotton towels.
