Introduction
If you're wanting longer hair or to grow long hair, this guide will help you with the basic steps required to ensure long, luxurious hair. Most of this guide is common sense that you probably already know, but perhaps you hadn't considered. Growing long hair is easy, but remember that unless you take care of it and keep it healthy, it's not going to be the gorgeous head of hair you're craving. -
Step 1: Get a Haircut
You're probably wondering why you're being told to get a haircut in order to get long hair. After all, don't you want your hair to get longer, not shorter? The point of the haircut at the outset of growing long hair is to get a good style to your hair that you can keep with you as the hair grows, and to get rid of any dry or damaged hair at the beginning, so the only hair that grows is healthy. -
Step 2: Keep Hair Trimmed
Trimmed hair grows faster and healthier than hair with dry and damaged or split ends. While growing out your hair, you'll want to have it trimmed on the very tips about once every six to eight weeks. -
Step 3: Brush Hair Regularly
Brushing hair regularly will pull out any damaged or dry hairs that aren't healthy. It will also distribute oil from the scalp down through the hair shaft, coating the hair and making it shiny and healthy. Do not brush your hair when it is completely wet, but rather use a comb to go through the tangles. Once all the tangles are removed and the hair is dried, you can use a soft bristle brush to brush through the hair. Do this two to three times per day during the initial growing stages. -

Step 4: Wash and Condition Regularly
Do not overwash hair as it begins to grow out, but washing your hair a minimum of three times per week is best for growing long hair. It's better to wash it daily in the beginning, because scalp stimulation can stimulate hair growth. Once the hair reaches a certain length, though, washing it can be a chore and can actually damage the hair.Use hair conditioners and hair shampoos that are specifically formulated for long hair. You can ask your salon professional for more information about what the best hair-care products are for your hair. Be sure if you use a conditioner, that you mostly focus on the tips of the hair and not the scalp or the shaft of the hair, because too much conditioner can weigh down lengthy hair and cause dullness or hair damage.

Step 5: Eat a Healthy Diet
Nutrition plays a role in hair and skin care, so eating a well-balanced diet that includes vitamins and minerals that help stimulate hair-growth can give you a boost in growing healthy long hair. Talk to your doctor about which vitamins are right for you. -

Step 6: Don't Use Rubber Bands
Using rubber bands damages the hair. If you're trying to grow your hair long, there might come a period of time where your hair is too long to be comfortable but too short to do much with, so you'll find you tend to put it up or pull it back. When you do, be sure to use the cloth-covered bands like Scunciis or use clips or combs instead. -
Step 7: Keep Hair Up While Sleeping
Keeping your hair up or in a bun or braid while sleeping will help prevent damage from tossing and turning at night. Also, using silk or soft satin pillowcases can help your hair slip over the coverings instead of bending and breaking the hair shafts.
