How to Grow Long Locks With Hair Care Tips and Our Deep Conditioning Hair Mask Roundup

Have you always wanted long, healthy hair? Whether your hair is thick, fine, curly or straight, these are the tips the pros use to help ladies grow hair impressive lengths without settling for damaged ends. These tips for growing hair long while keeping it strong and shiny may surprise you! In addition to regularly treating your locks with a deep conditioning hair mask from our favorite product roundup, we have a few other suggestions that will help you grow healthy, longer locks.

 

Snip Those Split Ends

It may seem counterintuitive to chop off your hair when you want it to grow longer, but getting regular trims can actually help your hair grow faster. Failing to cut off split ends can cause damage that causes follicles to break, and as it breaks higher up the shaft, the shorter your hair gets.

Don’t Shampoo Too Frequently

One of the best treatments for damaged hair is to use the natural oils of your hair and scalp to your advantage. Shampoo serves an important purpose and is great at washing away dirt and hair products. However, it can also damage your hair by stripping it of the natural essential oils it needs to stay healthy and soft. To keep this from happening, don’t shampoo your hair daily. Instead, our hair gurus recommend washing your hair once every two or three days.

Use Conditioner with Each Wash

Each time your hair gets wet, it should be conditioned afterward to replace the proteins and lipids in the hair shaft and seal off the cuticle. When your hair is regularly conditioned, it receives the protection and support it needs to grow longer and stronger.

Try a Hair-Boosting Supplement

Hair-boosting supplements like biotin can transform your hair from the inside out. Biotin is an essential component of hair growth and can be found in a variety of foods like dairy products, seafood, fruits and vegetables. However, you can also take biotin supplements if you’re looking for an extra boost of nutrition to support long, healthy hair.  

Use a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask

A deep conditioning hair mask or leave-in conditioner is the best treatment for damaged hair. It provides your hair with more moisture and concentrated nutrients than a regular conditioner and only needs to be applied once or twice a week. While regular conditioner is meant to protect the hair and seal it off from damage, hair masks and leave-in conditioners are formulated to heal and repair hair strands while restoring softness. Here are a few of our favorite deep conditioning hair masks, all available at LaLa Daisy:

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask: Wrap your hair in ultra-hydrating avocado, sweet almond and argan oils. You’ll get the benefit of a cocktail of strengthening keratin protein, power-conditioning rosehip oil, soothing aloe, and super hair-essential vitamins B5, D, A, E and biotin.

Malibu C Makeover Treatment Kit: Buy the single-use packet of 12 treatments used by hair professionals at the salon. Five to ten minutes with this product on your hair removes the buildup of hard water oxidation, color-treated or chemically processed hair, and leaves hair soft and shiny.                                                                                                             ReGenesis Detox Hair & Scalp Masque: This product goes on dry hair and can

be worn throughout the day. It seals moisture into your hair and scalp while detoxifying your hair of the environmental pollutants that surround us every day.                             Saphira The One Leave On Hair Mask: This leave-on hair treatment is light and fresh, helping to fight frizz and fly-aways while infusing hair with glossy shine and healthy oils and minerals, keratin and Vitamin E.                                          Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment: When you treat your hair with the Restore Mask for 5 to 20 minutes, you’ll see the shine, volume and radiance in your hair for days after.     UNITE 7 Seconds Mask: The name 7 seconds sells the benefits of this mask short, because a 10 minute treatment brings light, intense hydration to your hair thanks to all natural ingredients.

 

Rinse with Cold Water

This tip is a hard one to follow, but for the love of long hair, stick with it! When you rinse with cold water for just a few seconds at the end of your shower or bath, the outer layer of your hair lays down more smoothly, closing the hair cuticle and making it less susceptible to heat damage and snags. Think of it as a boost to your hair’s growing power and an added refreshment when you’re trying to wake yourself up and get energized in the morning.

Ditch Wrapping Your Hair in Full-Sized Towels

Thick, oversized hair towels are the epitome of luxury, right? When it comes to your hair, think again! Your favorite super-soft bath towel might actually be your hair’s worst enemy! Wrapping your delicate, wet hair strands in a heavy towel can be like tying a weight to it, and with the help of gravity, may cause breakage. Be gentle with your hair and consider using a thin, soft microfiber hair towel (another one of the best treatments for damaged hair) instead of a larger, heavier bath towel.
