Safer ways to grow your hair faster


I have used my own hair many times to experiment with ways on how to grow hair faster, to obtain a medium long hairstyle. Throughout the internet there are many forums talking about hair growing supplements and all kinds of therapies to make your hair grow faster. If you are using one of these methods, stop already. Not only do these methods waste your time and money, they can leave a potential side-effect behind.

And again, many sites out there have claimed some methods are able to make a bald person to have hair up to their shoulders overnight. That is extremely bizarre!

With my own hair, I have concluded that to grow your hair faster, follow these safe steps:

  1. 1. Firstly, consume a sufficient amount of water each day. A while back I had not been drinking much water to tell you the truth, and not only did my hair often became dry, it did not grow much either.
  2. Consume the essential nutrients everyday, do not miss out on any nutrients! I cannot stress this enough but many people who wish to grow their hair faster, do not eat much at all because they are probably on an "intense" diet to look better. The essential nutrients include: fibre, protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins. Please emphasize on the protein consumption! To those who are on a diet right now, eat SOY! **A while ago I used to join the neighbourhood gym, and drank protein shakes (not recommended for everyone) which had around 20g of protein in each cup. A couple days later and I realized my hair grew alot thicker and longer. No lies!
  3. Wash your hair frequently! Your hair will become extremely dirty and unhealthy as soon as you miss a day of no hair-wash! Only use warm water or colder to wash your hair, since hot water may have a chance to eliminate your hair cells.
  4. Cut out the blow-dryers! Blow drying your hair is extremely poor to your hair. It crisps the hair and damages your hair's nutrients.
  5. Avoid hair colour treatments for now. Until you grow your hair until your ideal length, do not use any dyes yet. *Although dyes are quite damaging to your hair as well.
  6. Get plenty of sleep and rest! Sleep at least 8 hours per night!
  7. Cut the caffeine, and reduce the amount of alcohol and tobacco if you are on any.
These 7 steps are clearly safe ways to help your grow for sure. Hopefully, results would be something like this:

Hairstyling Tips: Rectangular Shaped Face

Rectangular Shaped Face: A type of face where your chin is longer than an oval shaped face. If you have this kind of hairstyle, you have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that your face shape is similar to the almight oval shaped face! However, since your face's chin is a bit lower than the oval shaped face, you must do some more work



Best hairstyles for this type: Any hairstyle will do for you... However! Don't forget that your forehead is a bit bigger than your chin, and therefore it is not balanced..BUT! you can solve this by wearing any hairstyle that contains some bangs to cover up some of your forehead, to make it even with your chin! .Hairstyles to avoid: Try to avoid hairstyles that show your entire forehead.

Heart Shaped Face: A type of face shape where the forehead is quite wide, the cheekbones are very delicate, and the chin is very narrow. A Heart Shape Face is basically an Oval Shaped Face but with a narrower chin.

Best hairstyles for this type: A person with a heart shape face should be concerned with their particular narrow chin. They should attempt to make their chin look enlarged. A Heart shape face should wear a multi-layered haircut, to emphasize the hair volume, and would soften the narrow chin. Also, hairstyles with some bangs is encouraged, to take out the image of a constricted chin. Try not to completely ignore bangs, because without them, the difference of the forehead and chin would be displayed.

Hairstyles to avoid: Try to avoid haircuts with completely no fringes, at least leave some bangs on to flatten out the narrow chin. Any hairstyle would work, except for thin-layered haircuts without bangs.

Hairstyling Tips: Diamond Shaped Face

Diamond Shaped Face: You have a diamond shaped face only if you have a narrow forehead and chin. However, your cheekbones are also quite strong and broad, sculpting up a diamond shaped face! Your goal would be to minimize your cheekbones, and emphasize your forehead and chin.


Best hairstyles for this type: Diamond Shaped face individuals should wear a haircut that can minimize the narrowness of the face, and soften up the wide cheekbone look. One can achieve this by wearing medium to long haircuts that have a strong layer, which can diminish the broad cheekbone look. Also, wear lots of fringes to make your forehead wider.

Hairstyles to avoid: Try to avoid haircuts that do not have any bangs at all, which can totally show your tall and narrow forehead. Also keep away from hairstyles that do not have hair near the neck and chin area, because they do the trick to broaden up your chin. Wear medium to thick layers of hair which will thicken up the forehead.

Medium Hairstyles for Guys

The most popular hairstyle right now in Asia... It makes guys look very adorable and cute.. They're not the "macho" look, but the revolutionized "cute" look :D

Guys who have this kind of hairstyle tend to use up their hair wax (GATSBY!!) to create volume on their sides to add a "thick" effect. This kind of hairstyle is usually pretty long, up to the neck, but not too "thick layered".


These kind of hairstyles have a middle fringe, made by adding hair wax to isolate it from the rest of the fringes

Guys can also wax up their back hair too, to make a spirally feel^^


Many idols and artists love maintaining this kind of hairstyle, and since it is the most popular hairstyle in the Asian world today.
