Method 1 of 4: Accelerate Hair Growth
Step 1. Use conditioner every time you shower or after shampooing

Step 3. Eat nutritious food
Meet the needs of protein, zinc, vitamins A, C, and D by eating nutritious foods and containing lots of vitamins every day. Choose foods that nourish hair, such as salmon (a source of vitamin D and protein), eggs (a source of biotin and omega 3), avocado (containing lots of essential fatty acids). In addition to nourishing the hair, this step is useful for maintaining healthy skin. The habit of consuming these foods as often as possible makes hair grow longer faster. Having healthy hair must start with eating nutritious foods and drinking water as needed to keep the body hydrated.

Method 2 of 4: Styling Hair in Different Styles
Step 1. Change the hairstyle by changing the position of the parting
To make the hairstyle look different without cutting your hair, make a parting on the other side, for example right at the top of your head to try a middle part. If you want to style your hair with a side parting, divide your hair 3-5 cm from the middle or 5-10 cm if you want to shift the parting slightly down.
- For example, part your hair slightly downwards if you've been combing your hair forward. For that, comb the hair back and then make a part of the hair according to the desired model.
