With unbridled enthusiasm, you have decided to grow out your hair. The agenda is to achieve long, healthy and voluminous locks that turn heads wherever you go. But once you commit to growing your hair out, it can feel like an endless waiting game. While hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body, the average rate of growth is around half an inch a month, growth can feel painstakingly slow. 


Some of our clients who join us at our Corkin and Friends’ hair salon CHCH, ask about how to make hair grow quicker. The key lies in taking a holistic approach and understanding the importance of self-care, not just nurturing your locks at the best hair salon in Christchurch! Think of growing your hair out as you would about getting in shape, it takes time, energy and commitment. This article is a quick guide to help you achieve your hair goals:


Eat the right foods for healthy hair

Your hair is made up of two structures: the visible hair shaft and the hidden hair follicle. To promote hair growth, you need to feed your hair from within. Hair follicles are sensitive to nutrition deficiencies, toxins, and malnutrition, which can lead to poor hair growth and hair loss. High protein foods like fish, beans, nuts and whole grains are fantastic fuel for hair growth. Taking supplements that include biotin and vitamins B and C also supports hair growth.


Make an appointment with a hairstylist

Why should you make an appointment with a hairstylist when you want to grow your hair out? It feels counterintuitive, but visiting the salon as you actively start the process helps to prepare your hair for its transformation. The hairstylist will give you a great haircut to help manage the growth into a future-proof style rather than accepting a wild look.


Schedule regular hair appointments

One of the most common misconceptions is that avoiding haircuts will lead to faster hair growth. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Regular trimming is essential to keep your hair healthy and free from split ends. Untreated split ends travel up the hair shaft, causing breakage and thinning. It’s important to schedule frequent visits to your hairdresser to ensure the ends remain fresh and to promote healthier growth from the roots. To make life even easier, Corkin and Friends are a hair salon Christchurch that offers hairdresser book online services (it’s a game-changer).


Growing out a short haircut can sometimes feel like an awkward phase with uneven lengths and unruly strands. However, a visit to the best hair salon Christchurch makes all the difference. Our expert hairdressers understand the intricacies of hair growth and provide tailored solutions to make the transition seamless and painless. Whether you're looking for a subtle trim or a style revamp, Corkin and Friends have you covered.


Our experienced and creative hairstylists can recommend the right products and techniques to enhance your natural texture, ensuring optimal growth and vitality, so you're well on your way to flaunting long, healthy, and enviable locks. So why wait? Call 03 371 9297 to book your appointment today and embark on a transformative hair journey that leaves you feeling confident, empowered, and utterly fabulous!
