4 tips to boost hair growth

Who hasn’t dreamed of long, strong hair? Sometimes hair growth can feel slow or even stalled. The This Green team has some simple habits to naturally stimulate growth and speed up your hair’s length. Here are 4 key habits for healthy, faster-growing hair.

1. Boost hair growth by massaging your scalp

Hair is like a plant. Healthy roots are essential for growth. Massaging your scalp stimulates blood circulation, bringing more nutrients to the follicles and encouraging hair growth. It also helps relax and reduce stress, which benefits overall hair health.

How to massage your scalp for faster hair growth:

Use your fingertips (not your nails) to massage the scalp
Make gentle circular movements for 5–10 minutes
Do this daily or at least during every oil bath and shampoo

Pro tip: Pair it with an oil bath to amplify the stimulating effect, naturally helping your hair grow faster!

2. The oil bath: a true hair growth booster

Looking for a product to boost hair growth? To deeply nourish and protect your hair, nothing works better than oil baths. Plant-based oils penetrate the hair fiber, providing intense hydration and nutrition that strengthen your strands. They act as a natural shield, reducing breakage and helping maintain length. By nourishing hair from root to tip, oils make it stronger, shinier, and better prepared to grow. Well-nourished, protected hair is less prone to damage, supporting long-lasting growth.

Which oil bath to choose?

At This Green, there are 3 oil baths for different hair types:

For colored hair: Repairs and protects strands weakened by color, preventing breakage and promoting growth
For curly hair: Nourishes dry, fragile curls, enhancing softness and definition, perfect for hair growth
For dry hair: Ultra-nourishing, repairing, and protecting dehydrated, damaged hair from external aggressors

How to do an oil bath for hair growth:

Apply the oil: Generously coat dry hair, focusing on scalp, lengths and ends
Scalp massage: Massage your scalp 5–10 minutes in circular motions to stimulate circulation and growth
Leave it on: Let the oil sit for 20 minutes; for better absorption, wrap hair in a warm towel
Shampoo: Rinse carefully and shampoo twice to remove excess oil
Repeat regularly: Use 1–2 times per week to promote hair growth and reduce shedding

3. Eat a balanced diet to nourish your hair from within

Healthy hair starts on your plate! To grow strong hair, your body needs key nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and proteins. A deficiency can make hair fragile and brittle.

Foods to prioritize:

Proteins: eggs, fish, legumes
B vitamins: brewer’s yeast, spinach, bananas
Omega-3: fatty fish, walnuts, flax seeds
Zinc & iron: pumpkin seeds, lentils, red meat

A balanced diet is like watering your hair from the inside. Nutrient-rich hair grows stronger, shinier, and healthier!

4. Avoid chemical treatments and tight hairstyles

Many hair products contain sulfates, silicones, and harsh chemicals that damage hair and suffocate the scalp, slowing growth. Tight hairstyles (braids, ponytails) can cause breakage or even traction alopecia over time.

To avoid for hair growth:

Products with sulfates or parabens
Hairstyles that pull on the roots
Chemical hair dye

To favor for hair growth:

Natural hair care, like This Green products, free from harsh chemicals
Protective hairstyles that don’t stress the roots

In summary: accelerate hair growth naturally

To boost hair growth, follow these simple, natural habits: massage your scalp, nourish your hair with oil baths, eat a balanced diet, and avoid harsh chemicals. Care for your hair, and it will reward you with strength, shine, and healthy growth!
