Skip the Highlights

If you see your colourist more than you see your extended family, Kovacs advises taking a break. "Things you would want to avoid doing to your hair while trying to grow it out would be coloring and lightening," he says. "Stay away from harsh chemicals on the hair until you reach your desired length."

Reconsider Your Lifestyle

Book Regular Trims

"One of the biggest things that will help your hair grow are trims every 8-10 weeks," says Jennifer Matos, stylist at Rita Hazan Salon in New York City. If you are trying to grow your hair or keep your length, it's important to regularly cut off what's necessary — and dead. The more you go, the less hair you will get cut."

Choose Your Brushes Wisely

"Be careful when brushing and detangling your strands," advises Fugate. "Don't be too rough with the hair and use a wet brush or a wide-tooth wood comb as the most gentle option to avoid breakage. You should also avoid wire or metal round brushes. Boar is your friend and larger brushes are better, as they create less tension."

Give Yourself a Scalp Massage
1 no no? Tight elastics. "They are your worst nightmare for any situation — avoid at all costs!" he says. "And if you're going to bind your hair, make sure to be very mindful about how you take out the band. Always unwrap it; never just yank it out."

Moisturise!

If you're low on time, an easy fix that will cost you nothing is a good old-fashioned scalp massage. This improves the blood circulation to the hair follicles and can be done when you're in the shower shampooing, or bored on your couch binge-watching The Bachelor.
