Want your hair to grow faster? These are the proven tips for strong and long hair

How fast does hair actually grow?

Before we dive into the tips, it’s helpful to understand how hair growth works. On average, your hair grows about one to one-and-a-half centimeters per month. That means your hair can grow around 12 to 18 centimeters in a year. The amount of growth per month varies from person to person and depends on factors such as genetics, hormones, age and lifestyle. Other influences like stress and scalp health also play a role.

The biggest myths about hair growth

When searching for ways to make your hair grow faster, you’ll come across plenty of myths. Time to bust the most common hair growth fables! Hair grows faster after a haircut? Sadly, that’s one of the biggest myths. Trimming doesn’t make hair grow faster, but it does prevent split ends – keeping your hair healthier in the long run. Regular trims are essential for strong, long locks.Another myth is that cold water or rice water can work wonders for hair length. Unfortunately, these are also fables. Still, both can make your hair look better. A cold rinse adds shine, and rice water contains vitamin B, which can contribute to stronger hair.

What actually works to make your hair grow faster?

Luckily, there are plenty of effective ways to encourage healthy hair growth. These are the key steps to help speed up growth and maintain healthy hair:

Give your scalp attention

Long, healthy, and strong hair starts with your scalp. Regular scalp massages stimulate blood circulation, which in turn activates your hair follicles. Good scalp care — like exfoliating and cleansing — also helps prevent blockages and creates the ideal base for healthy growth.

Healthy eating supports hair growth

It’s a cliché, but true: beauty starts from within. Everything you eat and drink impacts your scalp and hair. Wondering what to eat for healthy hair? Foods rich in biotin, iron, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids are amazing for your strands. Think eggs, fatty fish, nuts and leafy greens. Nourish your hair from within and let it shine from root to tip!

Avoid heat and chemical damage

Excessive blow-drying or styling can damage your hair and cause breakage. Tip: opt for heatless styling techniques like heatless curls to keep hair healthy. If you do use heat, protect your strands with a heat protectant spray.Hair dye can also take a toll on your hair. Always have your hair colored by a professional. At KURO, we work exclusively with high-end techniques and products like Goldwell’s Kerasilk line, which ensures minimal damage during coloring. We only dye hair in a way that preserves or improves its quality. So if you're considering color but want to avoid breakage? Book an appointment, our stylists are happy to advise you.

Use the right products for hair growth

Want to give your hair growth an extra push? Use strengthening products like special growth shampoos or a nourishing hair growth serum. Ingredients like caffeine, niacinamide and rosemary oil are proven to activate and strengthen hair follicles.In our salon, we use hair growth products from Oway, such as the Densifying Remedy and the Micro-Stimulating Hair Bath. These help activate the follicles and keep your scalp healthy, promoting steady growth.

Professional treatments to stimulate hair growth

Why does a scalp treatment help with hair growth?

As we mentioned earlier: healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. When your scalp is clean and balanced, your hair follicles can do their job properly. If your scalp gets clogged with product buildup or dandruff, your follicles receive less oxygen and nutrients. This can slow growth and even lead to hair loss. A professional scalp treatment can prevent this and ensure your hair grows well again.
