Oh well... The tiresome topic... Alcohol can certainly be fun in moderation, but unfortunately it's still not that great for our organism: It slows down your metabolism and can thus slow down your hair growth.

The situation is similar with stress: When your body is under stress, it releases certain hormones, such as cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. An increase in cortisol in the body can lead to a narrowing of blood vessels, which can result in a reduced nutrient supply to the hair follicles and thus slow down growth.

Do you want to rock long hair? Then you should avoid hairdryers, straighteners, etc. as often as possible. The heat dries out your hair unnecessarily and can lead to breakage.

A healthy diet with sufficient protein, iron, and vitamins is key for good hair growth. So make sure to consume enough protein through nuts, seeds, and legumes, as well as iron-rich foods like spinach, kale, or beetroot. If you suspect that a nutrient deficiency is responsible for your hair loss, you can have a blood test done by your family doctor and supplement specifically if necessary.

Oil I want is you? Yes, please! Oil treatments can help stimulate hair growth by providing the scalp with essential nutrients and moisture. Certain oils such as castor oil, jojoba oil, and coconut oil contain fatty acids and vitamins that can nourish and strengthen the scalp and hair follicles. When these oils are massaged into the scalp, this can increase blood circulation and promote hair growth. On top, oil treatments can help to smooth, strengthen hair, and reduce hair breakage, leading to healthier and thicker-looking hair overall. But beware! Oil treatments are not for people who struggle with oily scalp and dandruff.

Do you love a good scalp massage at the hairdresser? Well, us too! It not only feels amazing but is also perfect for giving hair growth a boost. And you can, of course, easily do it at home. A gentle head massage increases blood circulation to your scalp, which in turn stimulates hair growth. Simply use your fingers or a brush and massage your scalp for a few minutes before washing your hair.

Make sure to choose hair care products that cleanse gently, do not burden your scalp, and actively promote hair growth. A mild shampoo is ideal for thoroughly washing out residues from styling products like pastes or gels – especially important if you use products daily.

Blood circulation to the scalp as well as vitamins and nutrients such as biotin, iron, and zinc can stimulate hair roots and promote hair growth. Herbal decoctions like rosemary, nettle, and chamomile can also increase blood circulation to the scalp and provide important nutrients to stimulate hair roots.

Thinning hair can have various causes, such as genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, or poor nutrition. A vitamin deficiency can also be to blame. The absence of certain vitamins like biotin, vitamin D, iron, or zinc can lead to thinner hair or worsen hair loss. If you suspect that a vitamin deficiency is contributing to your hair problem, it is best to have this clarified by a doctor.

A healthy scalp is an essential factor for healthy hair growth. A well-circulated scalp ensures that the hair follicles are supplied with sufficient oxygen and nutrients necessary for hair growth. A dry or oily scalp can impair hair growth and lead to dandruff, itching, or hair loss.
