Does Drinking Water Help Hair Growth?

Water is a beauty staple that has been tried and tested for years. It’s no wonder celebrities and influencers promote their water-drinking habits in their morning routine videos. They all agree that water is essential to maintaining healthy hair and nails.

What is driving their enthusiasm? Is water as good as they claim? Will it make my hair longer and thicker? Our bodies’ water content decreases as we age. For your overall health and your hair’s health, it is even more essential to maintain hydration.

You can enjoy hair growth as you age.

What determines hair health and encourages hair growth?

Like everything else, lifestyle, genes, and general health affect hair growth. A healthy scalp is the first step to thick, long hair. While caring for your hair, you can improve the health of your scalp in several ways.

A healthy head of hair is a result of multiple factors. Lifestyle, maintenance, products, and overall health all play a role in achieving healthy hair. We’ll focus on two major lifestyle factors which support your hair.

Diet

Your daily diet can have a significant impact on your hair’s health. The first step to beautiful hair is to expand your menu and include a balance of healthy fats, carbohydrates, and protein. Our bodies can absorb nutrients differently as we age. It is essential to keep an eye on your diet and yourself.

Salmon, sweet potatoes, and eggs are all full of nutrients and healthy fats that will make your hair look and feel stronger.

Hydration

According to research, women of adult age should drink nine cups of water. It is essential to our health and the function of our body.

Our body only uses water for essential purposes when we are low on it. Your skin and hair may not be adequately hydrated.

The hair growth rate is one of the most common ways to determine the health of your hair and scalp. Hair grows about half an inch per month on average. You need to hydrate your skin and maintain a hydrated scalp for healthy hair.

You probably already know that the scalp is essential for robust and luxurious hair. Maintaining a healthy scalp and hair can be improved by staying hydrated. The effects of dehydration may exacerbate hair health issues.

How can you make sure that you drink enough water?

You have probably heard about the benefits of drinking a lot of water. You may have increased your water intake over the years.

Establishing a new routine can be difficult. We all have our systems and habits that we follow daily without hesitation.

Finding ways to include more water in your daily routine can be challenging. You are not alone. There’s a good reason why there are water reminders and apps that encourage you to drink more water. Hydration is often an afterthought for many people.

Investing in your beauty is best done by establishing long-lasting habits for your health. Here are some ways to increase your water consumption.

Keep water beside your bed.

After a long sleep, drinking water when you wake up can refresh your mind and body. A water bottle and a cup by your bedside can help you transition easily into your morning routine.

You can also ensure you drink water first thing in the morning.

Enjoy Lemon Tea to ease into the morning.

Hot lemon water can be a good alternative if you find a glass of cold water too hard in the morning. This water not only hydrates your body but also helps with digestion. Add a sprig or two of mint to your tea if you want something extra.

You can make your first cup of tea a dandelion if you love to soak it with coffee in the morning. The bitterness of the tea is similar to that of coffee. Its aroma may also encourage you to drink more water.

Containers are important

It may seem odd, but this one can make a big difference. To be genuinely hydrated, you need more than just a couple of glasses of water first thing in the morning. Keep the momentum going all day.

Find a bottle or cup that you enjoy, and that is convenient. This will encourage you to drink more.

Consider if you are often at home or on the move. You might prefer a screw top or a metal straw. Find something you can leave on your desk, car, or counter.

You are the best person to know your lifestyle and routine. You know your way and lifestyle best. The easier it is to maintain a new habit, the more likely it will be.

How to Increase Moisture Beyond Water Intake

Water may help to hydrate your hair, but only some of the hydration you need. If your hair still lacks moisture, you should include some of these ideas in your beauty routine.

Pro tip: Create your spa every week by incorporating all your beauty products into a moment to relax and unwind. You can reset your week with aromatherapy and comfy slippers.

Give Your Scalp Some Extra Love

Pampering your scalp is one of the best things you can do to encourage hair growth. Proper treatment and nutrition of your scalp will go a long way. It would help if you looked for products that promote hair growth—for example, our Fortifying Hair and Scalp Serum.

This serum contains caffeine to revitalize and niacinamide for scalp health. It also contains gotu Kola to nourish hair follicles. This serum revitalizes all hair types and is paraben-free to promote hair health.

Upgrade Your Supplements

The extra boost your body needs can come from supplements. Contact your primary care provider to discuss your options.

Our Skin & Scalp Collagen Gummies, which are gluten- and dairy-free, promote collagen production. These gummies also benefit hair, as collagen is a critical ingredient in keratin.

Get a massage for yourself.

Massages that increase blood flow can help improve your scalp’s health. Add a weekly massage to your routine and bring the salon home.

You can do this in many ways. You could use a head massager or a generous partner.

Clarifying Shampoo

Clarifying shampoos are a great way to remove buildup on your scalp caused by pollution, products, and oil.

Look for nourishing products that will not strip the hair of its essential nutrients. You can determine the frequency of use by reading the label.

Love Your Hair

Hair growth begins with the scalp. However, it is essential to care for and love the existing hair. You can achieve this by:

Rinsing your hair with vinegar or rice water

Parisians swear that vinegar rinses promote healthy, shiny hair. They are loyal to traditional beauty techniques because they love them. For an extra boost, keep a small vinegar bottle in your shower.

Rice water rinses, on the other hand, are gaining in popularity. This method believed to increase hair strength, elasticity, and moisture, has gained popularity.

Rinse and soak the rice, retaining the water. Leave overnight. Pour and rinse just like you would with vinegar.

Handle with Care

When hair is wet, it’s most vulnerable. Wait to brush your hair to protect your strands. Stick to a wide tooth comb to control your hair before it dries. This tames your hair without causing damage to it as it dries.

Pro tip: Use a cotton T-shirt to scrunch your hair instead of rubbing it with a towel. Your towel’s rough friction can damage your hair and cause frizz. A T-shirt will not. Bonus? Your favorite live-in shirt can now serve multiple purposes.

Enjoy Hair Masks and Conditioners

Who doesn’t enjoy a deep conditioning treatment, even if it is more of a good practice than an indulgence? While we relax at the end of the day, we enjoy our Restorative Redemption Hair Masque with our favorite beverage.

The proprietary blend of Mango Macadamia Cupuacu Murumuru Avocado Nut Butters instantly moisturizes and repairs hair. Add your favorite beauty treatments to your haircare routine while waiting for the mask.
