Tips for Hair Growth After
Hair Loss

Tips for hair growth after hair loss are essential if you want less aggravation. Growing out your hair is rarely an easy process.

New growth is a great sign that your loss was not permanent, so feel lucky! Fifty percent of people who lose their hair don’t ever get it back!

However, it can also be a trying time. There are all these shorter pieces of hair throughout your hair that can look totally out of place.

These short pieces of hair can really stand out, which can make your hair look frizzy, when it’s really not.

People lose their hair for a variety of different reasons, which can include: genetics, male pattern baldness, hormonal swings, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, stress, and general health. Remember too, that even high profile celebrities lose their hair! Everyone is fair game!

When you start to recover from hair loss, it can be an exciting discovery but the process of growing your hair back out is never fun. This becomes especially true when you have long hair. Also, the hair that grows back after hair loss, can have a different hair texture or pattern. You'll have to discern any changes, although there's nothing you can do about them.

There’s not much you can do until your hair grows out a couple of inches. After that, you can begin to do some damage control. Here are a few tips for hair growth after hair loss that can help your hair look great, even through some awkward growth stages.

Tips for Hair Growth After Hair Loss

If you weren’t taking hair vitamins before you lost your hair, you definitely need to start on a regimen after hair loss. One of the best hair growth vitamins you can take is a simple B vitamin called Biotin. Take Super Biotin for the fastest results, which are 5000 micrograms.

Alternately, you can literally eat your way to better hair growth after hair loss by consuming more super foods for thicker hair.

Many women with long hair get used to the longer length and never seem to want to cut it, no matter how bad it really looks. However, if you’ve lost a lot of hair volume, hair can look sparse and ends can look straggly. When you add in those little spurts of hair growth you’re getting back, it can create a real hair mess. For women with long locks, it’s even worse.

One of the easiest ways to blend those shorter pieces of hair is to create layers, which will help shorter layers better blend with the rest of your hair. Check out these 3 techniques you can use to cut your own layers.

The best way to cope with new hair growth after hair loss is to go ahead and cut your hair. Depending on the present length of your hair, you may not have to cut a lot (unless you have long hair) but unfortunately, your new growth will not be able to ‘catch up’ with the rest of your hair for years and years. Women especially, have a hard time giving up hair length. Many women are taught from an early age, that long hair is most desirable. But if your hair doesn’t look good why hold onto it when you can grow more? In fact, the sooner you cut some length, the sooner your hair will look better after hair loss.

If you have medium length to short hair, a simple trim every couple of months will help blend in new hair growth. Also, trimming your hair regularly helps eliminate split ends which helps increase the tensile strength of your hair.

However, excessively short hairstyles may make your hair loss even more obvious. Opt for slightly longer short hairstyles that help hide any bald spots you may still have. Very few people grow their hair back 100%.

Short hair pieces are worse for those with curly hair but can also cause fly-away hair in straight styles. Use leave in conditioners like Infusium 23 and smoothing creams to help smooth down new hair growth by adding a protective coating on your hair. They also help bolster hair strength and boost manageability and sheen.

Most of the time, hair loss happens more on one side of the head than the other. If you use a side part, try parting your hair on the side, which didn’t lose as much hair. This will cut down on the amount of visible shorter pieces of hair.

Use hair bands to help hide new hair growth. After hair loss, new growth tends to stick out and up. Hair bands help hide new growth initially.

Use bold eyeshadow colors or other brightly colored accessories (like earrings, bangles, necklaces, etc.) that accentuate other features you have and detract attention away from your hair.

Be gentle with your hair as its growing back in. New growth might be finer or weaker than your other hair so don’t be overly aggressive with your hair. You may even discover that your new growth is a completely different hair texture than your hair previously was! It's all part of the process!

If you’re game, try a new short hairstyle. After hair loss might just be a good time for a change! Advantages of short hairstyles are better versatility and control, shorter drying times, not having to use as much hair products, restored hair health, and the creation of buzz. If you have long hair and cut it short, you can use the hair that’s cut to send to Locks of Love, an organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

If you’re want a little hair pizazz, try a new hair color. This won’t help hide new hair growth after hair loss, it can really perk up your self image and make you feel better about the way you look.
