HEALTH & BEAUTY
A guide to going
by Chris Moody of Moody Hair, Darfield, Barnsley
Many people dream of having longer hair but few don’t realise that growing your hair a few inches longer doesn’t happen overnight and needs a bit of patience and TLC.
Hair grows at around 1-1.5cm per month, or half an inch in old money. You may notice your hair grows faster in the summer months. This is due to increased ultra violet and infra red light which makes hair cells produce faster than in the dark winter. But it is important to remember that not all hair can reach the same length. Every hair on your head has its own lifespan.
The average lifespan of hair is about two to seven years, after which it will stop growing and lie dormant before eventually falling out and being replaced by a new hair. It’s quite normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs every single day, most of which end up in your vacuum cleaner, hair brush or shower drain.
However long your hair can grow within its lifespan is the maximum it will ever grow.

As the year moves forward and the sun begins to show its face again, we start to think of warmer days and longer hair flowing in the spring breeze.
The thing to remember here is that hair is an organic substance and with all organic things, the closer it gets to the end of its lifespan the weaker, more fragile it becomes – a little like the rest of us.
Having it cut regularly will keep the hair healthy and at its best. Without regular trims the ends of the hair will fracture and break and you could start to lose more from the ends than if you would have had it cut.
Just because you aim to grow your hair longer doesn’t mean you should stop having it cut - in fact it’s quite the opposite. Having regular trims and taking off less than the monthly growth can improve overall hair quality and promote growth. The first stop is to talk to your hairdresser and tell them your plans. Contrary to popular belief, not all hairdressers are obsessed with cutting all your hair off. By letting your stylist know what you want to achieve they can recommend a suitable length for you to aim for.
Consider the following points for happy, healthy hair growth: • Have your hair cut regularly, at least every eight weeks. It will have grown an inch by then, so having a quarter of an inch cut off will keep the hair healthy and still longer than on your last visit.
• Make a target length to help you e.g., to a chin length style, then a collar length style, then shoulder length. Reaching these targets will help you see progress and persevere.
• Never towel rub your hair, always towel blot. Use a high quality shampoo, conditioner and leave in treatment to protect the ends. Redken’s One United Multi Benefit Spray (£16.50) provides detangling, conditioning, protections and lift to all hair types.
• Don’t tug the ends, comb through gently with a detangle brush such as Tangle Teezer (£9.99) Have patience, invest a little time and care in your hair and in no time at all you’ll be swishing those luscious locks like a super model.
