Hair Not Growing? Try These Simple Tips + The Oil That Actually Works

-

 

Look, we’ve all been there—staring in the mirror, tugging at a piece of hair like it's supposed to magically grow because we willed it to. Spoiler: it doesn’t work that way. (I tried. For science.)

So if your hair seems to be stuck in a "forever shoulder-length" phase or growing slower than your motivation on a Monday, you’re not alone. But don't panic, don’t shave it all off (unless that’s your vibe), and definitely don’t buy another random miracle product with 3 reviews and a sketchy website.

Let’s fix it—with some simple, effective tips and an oil that isn’t just hyped... it actually delivers.

🧠 First, Why Isn’t Your Hair Growing?

Before we throw solutions at the problem like bobby pins in a rush, let’s quickly talk causes:

  • Breakage: Your hair is growing, but it’s snapping off before you notice.

  • Scalp drama: Dead skin, buildup, or clogged follicles = roots throwing tantrums.

  • Poor nutrition: Your body’s like, “You want shiny Rapunzel hair, but you ate hot Cheetos for dinner?”

  • Stress: Stress can literally push hair into a “she’s not coming back” phase.

  • Heat & chemical damage: Aka frying your hair like it’s brunch.

Now for the glow-up.

💡 Simple Tips to Kickstart Hair Growth

1. Scalp Massage = Hair Gym

Your scalp is not just there to hold your hat. Massaging it boosts blood flow, which brings nutrients to hair follicles. Use your fingers or a scalp brush. Bonus points if you do it with oil (more on that below).

👉 Do it while watching Netflix = multitasking queen.

2. Trim the Ends, Not Your Dreams

Sounds backwards, but regular trims (every 2-3 months) help prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft like they're on a road trip to ruin everything.

3. Silk Pillowcase > Cotton

Cotton soaks up moisture and causes friction, which leads to breakage. Silk says “Nah, we’re smooth and drama-free here.”

4. Protein & Veggies, Babe

You don’t need to live on kale, but your hair loves biotin, iron, zinc, and protein. So throw some eggs, leafy greens, nuts, and fish into your weekly vibe. Hair is made of keratin—aka protein. Feed it right.

5. Say No to the Hot Tools (Sometimes)

Flat irons and curling wands can be fun... until your hair smells like burnt toast and breaks off mid-styling. Try heatless styles a few days a week. Your hair will text you a thank-you.

🌿 The Oil That Actually Works: Rosemary Oil

Yep. Grandma was right. Science is catching up.

Rosemary oil has been shown to boost circulation to the scalp, strengthen hair follicles, and even rival minoxidil (a.k.a. Rogaine) in some studies—with fewer side effects and way less drama.

How to Use:

  • Mix a few drops of rosemary essential oil with a carrier oil (like coconut , jojoba, or castor oil—pick your potion).

  • Massage into your scalp for 5-10 mins.

  • Leave it in for at least 30 mins (or overnight if you’re feeling committed).

  • Wash it out like you’ve got a date with volume.

✅ Do this 2–3x a week, and give it at least a month or two. Hair growth takes patience (and snacks).

🔁 Real Talk: Consistency is Queen

One oil massage won't turn you into Rapunzel overnight. Think of hair care like skincare or that gym membership—you gotta stick with it to see results.

But you’ve got this. Start small. Be nice to your scalp. Feed your hair. Massage like it owes you rent money. And give that rosemary oil a shot.

✨ TL;DR for My Busy Queens:

  • Your hair is growing—it just might be breaking or stuck.

  • Scalp massage, trimming, silk pillowcases, good food, and less heat help big time.

  • Rosemary oil is the MVP—try it 2–3x a week with a carrier oil.

  • Stay consistent and don’t give up. Growth is coming. (So is compliments season.)
