GROW Series: How to Make Your Hair Grow Faster? 7 Natural Tricks That Actually Work

Making hair grow faster is a dream for many – especially if you’ve lost a lot of hair or simply long for longer, fuller locks. But is there really anything you can do to influence hair growth? The answer is yes. Here are seven natural and effective ways to help your hair along – without miracle cures or questionable supplements.

1. Massage your scalp daily

Hair growth starts in the scalp – literally. By massaging your scalp with your fingertips for 3–5 minutes every day, you increase blood circulation, which in turn can stimulate hair follicles to grow faster.

Tip: Use a Scalp Brush + a leave-in product like Dalarnas EKO's Growth Mist while massaging. It contains Capilia Longa – an extract that has been shown in studies to increase hair density and reduce hair loss.

 

 

2. Avoid frequent hair washes with strong shampoos

Many people wash their hair too often – and with the wrong products. This wears on both hair and scalp. Use a gentle sulfate-free shampoo and preferably choose a nourishing formula developed to support hair growth.

Try: Growth Shampoo from Dalarnas EKO is a solid shampoo with 100% active ingredients – without unnecessary water or preservatives.

 

3. Let your hair rest from heat styling tools

Flat irons, curling irons, and hair dryers can damage hair strands, which in the long run causes hair to break before it even has a chance to grow out. Try air-drying your hair more often and use heat protection if you must style.

4. Sleep with your hair braided

When you move in your sleep, your hair rubs against the pillow, which can create friction and wear. A loose braid or bun reduces the risk of broken strands.

Bonus: Sleep on a silk or bamboo pillowcase – it's gentler on your hair.

 

5. Eat for your hair – from the inside out

Hair needs nutrition to grow. Protein, iron, zinc, omega-3, and vitamins like biotin and vitamin A are important building blocks. Make sure your diet is varied and rich in vegetables, fatty fish, nuts, and eggs.

6. Stress less (yes, it affects your hair!)

Stress can actually disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to hair loss. By finding ways to de-stress – for example, through meditation, walks, or reducing screen time – you give your hair better conditions to grow.

 

Tip: The Mindler app is good for destressing

7. Choose the right products – not just the trendiest ones

There are plenty of products that promise hair growth but contain questionable ingredients. Instead, focus on something developed with research backing it – for example, the Growth series from Dalarnas EKO, with Capilia Longa and the PRO Growth complex.
