We’ve all been there. You cut bangs on a whim. You bleached your ends one too many times. Or maybe you're just dreaming of long, flowing locks that actually reach past your shoulders.


Whatever the reason — you're wondering:“How can I make my hair grow faster?”

At Lockerbie Lock, we hear this every week, and here’s the truth:✨ You can’t change your genetics.💡 But you can create the best possible environment for stronger, faster, healthier hair growth.


Let’s break it down 👇



🌿 1. Start With Your Scalp Health


Hair growth begins beneath the surface.If your scalp is dry, inflamed, or clogged, your follicles won’t function at full capacity.


✅ What to do:


  • Use a gentle clarifying shampoo once a week to remove buildup

  • Massage your scalp 2–3x a week to stimulate blood flow

  • Try a scalp treatment or detox in-salon (we’ve got those!)


💆‍♀️ Think of it like skincare for your scalp. Healthy scalp = happy hair.



🥗 2. Nourish from the Inside Out


Hair is made of protein — so if your diet is low in protein or vitamins, growth slows down.


✅ Add these to your diet:


  • Eggs, salmon, lentils, nuts

  • Iron, zinc, vitamin D, biotin

  • Water. (Like… a lot more water.)


💊 Not sure you’re getting enough? A multivitamin or hair growth supplement could help — just check with your doc first.



✂️ 3. Get Regular Trims (Yes, Really)


It sounds counterintuitive, but cutting your hair helps it grow longer.

Split ends travel upward and lead to breakage.Regular trims (every 8–12 weeks) keep your ends fresh and stop you from losing length.


✂️ At Lockerbie Lock, we’ll give you a micro-trim that keeps the length while keeping damage in check.



🔥 4. Avoid Daily Heat Styling


We know — that flat iron is tempting. But high heat = hair stress.


✅ Use heat protectant (always)

✅ Limit heat styling to 1–2x per week

✅ Try heatless curls or air-dried styles between washes


Want ideas for cute no-heat styles? Just ask us during your next appointment.



🧴 5. Use the Right Products for Your Hair Type


Generic drugstore products? They’re not cutting it.You need a routine that strengthens your hair without weighing it down.


At Lockerbie Lock, we’ll recommend:


  • Sulfate-free shampoo

  • A lightweight leave-in conditioner

  • Growth-focused serums and strengthening masks


The wrong products can clog follicles or cause buildup — the right ones can actually support growth.



🧠 Bonus Tip: Stop Obsessing Over Inches


Hair grows about half an inch per month — that’s around 6 inches per year.The goal isn’t just faster growth — it’s maximizing the length you retain by keeping your hair healthy from root to tip.


And that’s where we come in. 💁‍♀️
