How to grow hair
Q: Is it possible to make my hair grow any quicker?
A: Outside of Hogwarts, no. ‘While there’s little you can do to make your hair grow faster, a healthy diet is key as impaired skin and hair quality has often been reported in nutritional deficiency situations,’ says Ursula Arens from the British Dietetic Association. ‘For example, low levels of vitamin B can lead to a change in colour and texture, while not enough fatty acids in your diet may lead to dry, brittle hair. Make sure your diet includes plenty of fruit and veg, protein, oily fish and fluids. If in doubt, a good multivitamin tablet could help.’
You should get your hair trimmed regularly, too. Leaving it too long can mean split ends become split hair shafts and you could end up having to lose several precious inches when you’re trying to add them.
