How to Grow Hair Faster and Thicker Naturally
Hair grows about a centimetre a month, and you can't force it to sprint — but you can remove the things slowing it down and give your follicles what they need. Most slow growth, thinning, and hair fall trace back to a stressed scalp, poor diet, harsh styling, and rough handling. Fix those, and hair grows healthier, thicker, and stays on your head longer.
Why is your hair growing slowly or falling out?
- A dry, clogged, or undernourished scalp
- Low protein, iron, or vitamins in the diet
- Heat styling, tight hairstyles, and harsh chemicals
- Rough brushing and towel-drying that breaks hair
- Stress, poor sleep, and hormonal changes
8 natural ways to grow hair faster
1. Massage your scalp with a herbal hair oil
Regular scalp massage with a nourishing oil boosts blood flow to the follicles, strengthens roots, and reduces hair fall. Herbit's Natural Hair Growth Oil is a 100% herbal blend — warm a little, massage into the scalp with your fingertips for a few minutes, and leave it on for an hour or overnight, two to three times a week.
2. Eat for your hair
Hair is made of protein, so a diet short on it slows growth. Eat eggs, lentils (daal), nuts, dairy, and lean meat for protein, plus iron-rich greens and vitamin-C fruits to help absorption.
3. Be gentle — avoid heat and harsh chemicals
Frequent blow-drying, straightening, bleaching, and tight styles damage and break hair. Air-dry when you can, use heat sparingly, and avoid pulling hair back too tightly.
4. Don't over-wash, and use lukewarm water
Washing too often strips the natural oils your scalp needs. Wash 2–3 times a week with a mild shampoo, and rinse with lukewarm (not hot) water to protect the strands.
5. Handle wet hair carefully
Hair is weakest when wet. Don't rub it hard with a towel or brush it aggressively — pat it dry and use a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and working up.
6. Trim split ends regularly
Trimming doesn't make hair grow faster, but it stops split ends from travelling up the strand and breaking. Healthier ends mean your length actually stays instead of snapping off.
7. Manage stress and sleep well
High stress and poor sleep push hair into the shedding phase. Regular sleep, light exercise, and stress management visibly reduce hair fall over a few weeks.
8. Stay hydrated
Dehydration leaves hair dry and brittle. Drinking enough water supports a healthy scalp and keeps strands flexible rather than snapping.
Herbit Tip
Be patient and consistent — hair growth is slow by nature. Oiling and massaging the scalp 2–3 times a week, eating enough protein, and handling hair gently shows visibly less hair fall in 4–6 weeks and stronger growth over a few months.

When should you see a doctor?
Some daily shedding is normal, but see a doctor or dermatologist if you have sudden or patchy hair loss, a receding hairline, a visibly widening part, or hair fall along with scalp itching, redness, or other symptoms — these may need targeted treatment.
