You can never make your hair grow faster than it normally does, in theory. Your hair will grow about a half an inch every month, which is about 6 inches in a year on average. There are a few things that can either maximize the growth or you can actually cut down on growth by eating things like Caffiene, bad food like candy, or not getting enough sleep. Stress is also a major factor in hair loss. You can’t change your genes, but you can alter the things you do in every day life to help maximize its growth.

(This is Amon Amarth, a viking metal band. Notice that every band member has long hair and/or beards.)

I used to excersize every day for 30 minutes to an hour and when I stopped my hair didn’t grow as much. The reason for this is because excersize gets your heart pumping, which makes your blood flow. This flow will also be in your scalp which will help produce hair.

I’ve found that getting enough sleep definitley helps your journey on hair growth. When I deprive myself of sleep, I find that my hair doesn’t grow that half an inch it should a month. However, when I get at least six hours a night, my hair grows at a normal pace. Another thing that helps is a healthy diet full of protein, Vitamin A, B, D, and E. I usually get my Vitamin E out of Almonds, most types of nuts, and peanut butter. Protein is essential for hair and nail growth. I usually drink a lot of milk, and eat a lot of meat (ALL of it).  When you deprive your body of essential nutrients, then your hair won’t grow as much. Water is a major factor in not only maximizing it’s growth, but also keeping your hair shiny and healthy. Water is something that your body needs, so when I don’t get enough water my body can’t produce as many proteins that would have gone to my hair folicules.
 

        Some things are very damaging for your hair. I’ve learned these things the hard way, for example, dying your  hair, using hot irons, or putting it in a pony tail. The reason is that heat dries your hair out, dying your hair has the same effect, and the pony tail will pull on your scalp which will rip out hair faster. If you get out of the shower and your brush your hair, you lose more hair too. Something I use that helps keep my hair growing faster and healthier, is surprisingly horse shampoo. If you use Mane & Tail shampoo, it actually has something in it that will speed up the hair growth process. Meditation is also a good thing to do, because it helps take off stress, and less stress means less hair loss. People say that trimming your hair actually makes it grow faster, but it doesn’t, you’re just fixing the split ends. Something that will get the blood flowing in your scalp is scalp massages, which if you do before going to bed will help you see results in your process of hair growth.

      In a year your hair will grow about 6 inches. If you have no hair, that means that you’ll be able to put your hair in your mouth by the end of the year. Thus, if you’re a male your beard or hair will be longer for the next time you go to a metal show. If you’re a female, then 6 inches is still a lot. For Males, you must get past the awkward stage and grow out your hair, otherwise you’ll never have it long. Females like myself, just keep making healthy choices likewise and you’ll be able to head bang in the crowd succesfully with your hair going all over the place like a true metal head and you can show it off to all of the others.

     Now that you know how to let your hair grow out , you can grow it really long and head bang in the crowds of Heavy Metal concerts and look like a true warrior.
