“The ideal hair care for hair growth focuses on both scalp and strands,Dr. Mamina tells E! News. She recommends starting with “gentle cleanser to maintain scalp balance, followed by nutritional statusp or a mask to strengthen and moisturize.” Even though hair growth starts from the scalp, “taking care of the lengths and ends is what keeps your hair strong enough to actually reach its full length.”
Then use a scalp serum or product with clinically proven, growth supporting ingredients such as peptides, caffeine, biotin, panthenol and arginine – similar to those found in formulas such as Obagi BioStim Scalp Serum. They help stimulate follicles, improve circulation and create a healthier foundation for growth.”
To protect your hair, she also suggests: minimizing heat damage, detangling gently, and protecting hair from UV and environmental stressors. “After a while, consistency in this type of routine is critical to creating longer, stronger, healthier hair,” says Dr. Mamina.
What about a haircut? Doctor Mamina says”regular haircuts help Your hair looks and feels healthier because split ends don't travel up the hair shaft, which can cause breakage. Think of it as a treatment that will help you maintain length rather than speed up growth.”
