Brush your hair

One of the tricks for having longer hair that's simple, is to brush it frequently and gently, at least three times a day.

It's essential to choose a brush with natural bristles to prevent hair breakage and to discard those made of plastic that generate static electricity.

Thermal protector

Something that greatly damages the hair, causing it to grow more slowly, is the heat generated by hairdryers, hair straighteners or curling irons. It's best not to subject the hair to high temperatures very often. But if you can't style your hair without using one of these devices, an excellent trick is to apply a thermal protector before using them. Place the thermal protector on wet hair and spread it evenly from the roots to the tips.
