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

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

1. Massage your scalp daily

Hair growth starts at 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 + leave-in product like Dalarnas EKO's Växa-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 washing with strong shampoos

Many people wash their hair too often – and with the wrong products. This is damaging to both the hair and the scalp. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and choose a nourishing formula that is designed to support hair growth.

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

3. Give your hair a break from heat tools

Flat irons, curling irons and blow dryers can damage hair, which can eventually cause hair to fall out before it even grows out. Try air drying your hair more often and use heat protection if you must style it.

4. Sleep with your hair braided

When you move in your sleep, your hair rubs against the pillow, which can cause friction and wear. A loose braid or knot 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-3s 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 – such as through meditation, walking, or cutting back on screen time – you give your hair a better chance to grow.

Tip: The app mindler is great for stress relief

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

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