Massaging the scalp is a great way to accelerate your hair’s growth, because it increases blood circulation and brings forth essential nutrients to your hair follicles. Heat up a little oil to be a little warm ( chose u like from olive oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, argan oil etc.) and massage your scalp gently with it. As you get to your scalp, be generous with the oil and be sure to cover your whole scalp by working it in with your finger tips. or
You can ask your loved one to give you a pleasant massage. Ask them to massage your head, gently going through the roots of your hair in circular motions for 15 minutes, then spread the oil on the length of your hair. Gently place your hair into a shower cap and let the oil penetrate into your scalp and hair for an hour.Your scalp will be nourished, making a perfect environment for your hair to grow fast! Your hair will also now have more elasticity meaning it won’t easily break.

Protect your hair from dust, dirt and the sun when you step out during the summer. You can, perhaps, wrap a scarf around your head, as the summer sun can be pretty damaging, and dust can increase dandruff.

So, give your hair a good soaking in fresh water before you swim, and if possible use a deep conditioner and then stick it up under a swim cap.

Grow hair faster secret no 5 washing tips:
Grow hair faster secret no 6 proper care:
Be gentle to your hair, especially when wet. Treat your hair like precious, fine, antique lace. Remember, as your hair grows longer it is getting older and older and has been through a lot. Even hair that has been treated gently for many years has been through many, many washes, brushings, tangles, etc. Never rip your brush through your hair or pull your brush or comb through a knot or snarl. Always gently detangle, using hair safe combs and brushes, and start from the ends and work your way up.
Grow hair faster secret no 5 washing tips:
The majority of people with enviable long hair do not wash their hair daily. Many dont use shampoo at all – instead they may use conditioner only. Dont wash your hair with a shampoo everyday, instead do it every other day better if you can stretch it further. Use a gentle, natural shampoo and conditioner without sulfates and dont over-wash.
Use shampoo only on your scalp area, and diluting it is helpful. As your ends get older, they get drier, and do not need the harsh washing agents in shampoo to get them clean. A good rinse is all they need. Let the suds wash down over your length as you rinse, thats all the "washing" it needs. Also dont pile your hair on your head when you wash.
Always wash your hairs with cool water as you can comfortably handle, and rinse in as cold as you can stand. This will allow the cuticle to smooth out and lie flat – giving you shinier and more manageable hair. This will not only help you grow hair faster, but is also better for your skin as well.Grow hair faster secret no 6 proper care:

Nourish your body right from the inside out. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and get enough rest. Make sure you are getting enough protein, healthy fats, and water each day. Protein is very important for hair as it helps produce the amino acids that the hair needs for it to grow. Keratin, which is what the hair is largely made of, can be produced only from amino acids, and for that you need to consume proteins.

Natural treatment for grey hair

What causes premature graying of hairs at young age, and how can I stop it?
Having white hair at a young age can make you stand out from the crowd. Most peoples hair turns grey or white as they age, But some people start seeing their first white hairs before theyre even out of their thirties. there are several reason behind this premature graying let us discuss some here.
1) One of the main reason is hair follicles malfunction. It just stop to produce melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. The pigment in your hair is actually melanin, like the pigment in your skin. And the white hairs are simply ones that don’t have that pigment.
2) Genetics is another one of the likely causes of gray hair. Ask your parents or other relatives about family history of premature white hair. If your mother or fathers hair turned white at an early age, you may be genetically programmed for premature graying. Your genes determine when production of melanin stops, and If you inherited your gray hair, there might not be a way to prevent white hair from growing in the future.
3) Vitamin deficiency is also a reason in premature graying, especially a lack of Vitamin B. If you eat a balanced diet and dont suffer from malnutrition, you may have pernicious anemia. In this form of anemia, your body is unable to absorb Vitamin B-12 from the bloodstream. So consult your doctor for treatment.
4) If you suffer from hypothyroidism and your thyroid fails to produce enough thyroid hormone, this may cause prematurely graying hair, according to the University of Michigan Health System. A blood test can diagnose hypothyroidism and you can take medication to make up for the hormone your body doesnt produce naturally.
5) Smoking: Some researchers like Dr. J. G. Mosley who studied patients in the Leigh Infirmary in Lancashire, England in 1996, noticed a correlation between smoking and premature graying of hairs. Though Dr. Mosley could not prove that smoking caused gray hair, he did note that the smokers in his survey turned gray at an earlier age.
So how can u turn the table, you can certainly try to prevent white hair!
This is what I recommend:
Take charge of your health Keep fit and stay healthy, your body will work most efficiently when you are healthy, and if it’s running efficiently, it can do all the normal processes (like growing hair) better. You can try to prevent white hair by eating right, raining from smoking and avoiding stress.
They say stress is one of the causes of gray hair, so keep yourself fit, healthy and stress-free to prevent white hair. Make sure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals, including iron, copper, vitamin B and folic acid. Eat lots of fresh, green leafy veggies.
Deal with the grays you have
While you might not be able to prevent white hair completely, you can find ways to make yourself look good with the ones you’ve got. White and gray hairs can be beautiful, so don’t be afraid to flaunt your look a little bit! As long as you have a youthful glow, your white hair won’t make you look old. A streak of white or gray hair can look really chic and lovely! If you’re uncomfortable with the whites, you can look into hair dyes that will let you cover up the gray and match the darker hair you have on the rest of your head.
Natural treatment & home remedies for grey hair

4) Foods rich in iodine like banana, carrots and fish should be included in the regular diet. Drinking butter milk with 2 teaspoons each of yeast and wheat germ is a great home remedy for grey hair. Protein rich foods such as sprouts of whole grains are also useful to fight greying of hair.
5) Massage regularly with almond oil to prevent greying of hair. Daily massage of the scalp with a mixture of coconut oil and lemon juice is a good home remedy for grey hair.

15) Combing hair regularly is a good habit, as this is another way to massage hair tissues and enhance hair growth. In addition, combing with a wide-toothed brush separates tangles and prevents hair fall and damage.
Moreover, hair is weakest when wet so, soak it dry with a towel before combing. Similarly, combing entirely dry hair is as harmful as combing wet hair. Use a comb which has soft bristles also make sure that you use it regularly as improper use of comb may also damage your hair at times.
16) Regular conditioning of hair is essential these days as hair is most exposed to pollutants, dirt, sun, wind and rain, and harsh chemicals. Covering up your hair on a sunny day will reduce browning and drying of hair. Regular conditioning will improve and strengthen the look of your hair. Hair conditioners are of two types: Natural and synthetic.
Natural and organic conditioners are less harmful and can give an additional glow to your hair.
Synthetic may be pathetic, yes it may cause some damages to your hair due to the chemicals present in it.
and finally
Go see a doctor
A doctor might be able to help you find the potential causes of gray hair and figure out which one is the reason for your problem. He or she can probably suggest some better ways to prevent white hair in the future.
