How to Make Your Hair Grow Faster

Here are some fantastic tips in making your hair grow faster:
  • When using shampoos and conditioners use those that fit your hair type. Do not go for a shampoo and conditioner just because it is cheap. Example: 1) If you have thick hair, use a shampoo specifically for your hair and a detangling conditioner. 2) If you have dry hair, find a shampoo that will replenish your hair, not a shampoo on sale for oily hair.
  • Only brush your hair when it is dry. Do not brush your hair when you get out of the shower as your hair can break easily when wet. You may use a wide toothed comb or your fingertips if your hair is wet to detangle your hair. Your best bet is to brush your hair before shampooing and conditioning your hair. This will also loosen up your hair that is about to fall out and save you from having a clogged shower drain.
  • Get a haircut if your ends are damaged and split. Your hair will only continue to break off if it is already damaged. Your hair will look and feel healthy instead of out of control and scraggly. Ask your hairdresser to trim your hair to get all of the damage off.
  • Eat well. Hair grows better and healthier when you take care of yourself. Eat foods from all of the basic food groups.
  • Take a multivitamin for maximum health to you and your hair.
  • Your hair will grow faster if your scalp is stimulated. You can achieve this by rubbing your fingertips gently on your scalp for five minutes per day. Or you may keep up with your cardio exercises to help the growth of your hair.
  • To make your hair grow faster limit your hair washings. The essential oils in your scalp keep your hair healthy. Dry hair wash one to two times a week; normal hair two to four times per week; curly hair and wavy dry hair once per week or once per two weeks; and oily hair it may be necessary to wash every day. Use your own judgement on your oily hair if you think it has to be washed every day.
  • Hot oil treatments and conditioners you leave in are beneficial to your hair growth.
  • If you are a man with long hair and wear ponytails, only use bands made for hair. Do not use rubber bands as they come off of your hair rough and tend to break off your hair.
  • Do not use flannel pillow cases. Flannel tends to suck the oils out of your scalp and hair causing it to become dryer especially in winter months.
  • It is better to use a diffuser versus a blow dryer for the health of your hair.
By taking care of your overall health and using the above as habits your hair will grow faster in no time at all. Please have patience as one’s hair grows on average about 1/2 inch per month.

Orlando Bloom (born on January 13th, 1977) is popular for his casual yet sexy look - long layered and slightly curly hairstyle. This Brit often sports stylish pointy beards which lend a masculine touch to his boyish face. Bloom has experimented with his deep chestnut colored curly hair, varying the length and color often. While in the Pirates of the Caribbean series Bloom mesmerized millions with his long locks in dark brown shades, he was his natural self in the period drama Troy with curly bangs caressing his chiseled face. His portrayal of the vulnerable Paris could make any girl go weak in the knees. In several of his public appearances the actor has preferred to sport short tapered hairdo with short and thick side burns. Bloom's shoulder length hair with layers all over gives volume and texture to his hair. To create further weight, waves were added through his neck line, which he flaunted with panache to complement his role as a rebellious crusader in Kingdom of Heaven.

Orlando Bloom tried a fresh hairdo with razor cut mane messed up in the middle with short tidy sides and back. His shoulder length hair with middle parting was also quite a hit. In contrast with such a hairstyle, Orlando has even exhibited the faux-hawk style and a mullet spiked out hairstyle which was, a change from his conventional long locks.

This strikingly handsome and suave fella seems to be at ease with every style he experiments - whether its a simple clean cut or a wild one embellished with hair accessories. You might often get a glimpse of Orlando Bloom trying knitted berets or leather hats, which actually enhances his long-haired look by few notches!

Few can match the ruffled look sported by the TV hunk Josh Holloway and his hairstyle fashioned in light copper brown hues. This actor has caught the fancy of many not only with his powerful acting but also with his shoulder-length locks. Blessed with light and straight mane Josh made his way through several hairdos pulling off every single one with equal ease.

California born Josh Halloway initiated his career with bit roles in several films but finally opted for the small screen to prove his mettle as an actor. Soon Josh made his presence felt in several episodes of popular soaps and became a noticeable face. Much of his popularity is credited to his laid back haircut and cool image alongside his acting prowess. The model turned actor, however, gathered oodles of praise as the con artist James “Sawyer” Ford in Lost depicting a bad boy look all through. His shiny mane brushing his shoulders gave him the perfect conniving image his character demanded.

Prior to the long locks with casual wave Josh Holloway flaunted the short center spiky youthful cut in Doctor Benny. He charmed the audience with his tousled waves and beard sporting a boyish image in Walker, Texas Ranger. Moving on from his miniature size cut, Josh went back to his signature long locks and bearded look. In fact, Josh's hairdo is quite an inspiration for those men who prefer to keep their hair long. The shoulder length jagged cut goes perfectly with his macho style complementing his oval face.

Jude Law Hairstyles

Soft curls, with a dash of varied shades impart an age-defying hairstyle to the Brit heartthrob Jude Law. Enchanting women from both sides of the world, this English lad has enough to boast of - whether it is for his acting talent or for his stylish locks. With “Sexy Sadie” tattooed on his arm, this serious actor sports his curls with great ease, often experimenting with his hair in several films.

The 35 year old Londoner initiated his acting lessons at the tender age of 12 and chose the stage to display his acting talent. After appearing in several daily soaps, Jude Law was first noticed in 1999 in the movie, The Talented Mr. Ripley. Much like his acting, Jude caught the eyes of many with his clean perfect brushed-in hairstyle. His hairdo in “Road to Perdition” perfectly complemented his serious role in the film. While Jude's classic cut in short jagged style breathed life into his character in Harlen Maguire, he went for a messy look with longer locks while romancing the gorgeous Nicole Kidman in Cold Mountain. When the turn came to share the screen space with fellow actor Leonardo in Aviator, he resurfaced with the brown and blond "love locks" shades with side parts and a few adjustments with the ideal length.

A very popular hairdo often flaunted by Jude Law is the 80's style. With side parts cut in shorter layers, and more volume appearing on the top, all cropped well to create an angle, Jude created a mark of his own. His boyish image and ruffled hairstyle has often been the talk of the tinsel town, captivating the audience across the globe. Law further showcased his dexterity in the hair department in adverts of Dunhill and Dior where he made his receding hairline work in his favor. The remnants of the once-lush hair was styled into a luxuriant crop, enhancing Jude's sharp face to perfection.

Blessed with chiseled, stunning features and a long face, the curly crop on Jude Law's head has been a subject of experimentation over the years. He went out for a full tapered haircut along the neckline in Alfie, showing off shorter cuts on the top and front making the hair stand, by wrapping up the forehead. Law has further donned the sun bleached tousled hairdo at several occasions dabbing mousse or hair gels on the sides and top.

Side Swept Bangs Hairstyles



Men's side swept bangs hairstyle from Zac EfronZac Efron with side swept bangs.

Side swept bangs hairstyles are easy to care for and don't require using too many sticky hair products or tons of smelly hairspray. If a man's hair is wavy or curly, he may want to consider using a straightener, but you shouldn't let this idea intimidate you. It literally just takes a few seconds and the look lasts all day long. For the man with naturally straight hair, a little dab of smoothing lotion and a few minutes with the blow dryer are all it will take to maintain your style.

The best part about side bangs for men coming back in style is that it is such a flattering look for men. A middle part is the least flattering hairstyle a man can wear and it tends to imply that he is balanced, according to psychologists. Wearing the hair straight back with no part says that a man is confident or "cocky". Side swept bangs for men give them a sexy look and tells the world that he is comfortable with himself and yet approachable. This look can help to soften a man's face and draws attention to his eyes which is what women claim to notice first about a man.
