what's up guys trav white here welcome back to the channel where we cover the science of style and grooming you know the deal like subscribe join my facebook group manneredmanes all right moving on so let's go back to what i said about speeding up hair growth each person has a genetic limit to how fast their hair grows so you can't speed it up infinitely but the average speed of growth is about a half inch per month you know some guys go more three-fourths of an inch some guys go to an inch per month and some guys go less which like a quarter of an inch per month the limit is different for everybody i'm probably in that half inch per month crew and i've tried everything possible to speed up hair growth from oils to supplements to all the gimmicks it's impossible however i have had months where it slowed down quite a bit where it only grew about a quarter of an inch and i've had months where it didn't feel like it grew at all or just slightly the reason is if you're not optimizing your lifestyle your hair growth won't even come close to hitting your genetic limit so for many guys out there your hair is growing much slower than it's capable of simply due to lifestyle habits so in this video we're going to cover three simple habits that will speed up your hair growth so you can maximize it as much as possible and get to that genetic peak that you have after implementing these tips some of you might discover that your limit is not what you thought so let's start with number one healthy hair habit number one is to get quality sleep and what does that mean it doesn't just mean get your eight hours so let's talk about it the months that my hair grew the fastest were the months where i really intentionally cared about my sleep quality sleep is incredibly important for healthy hair growth it plays a significant role in protein synthesis it helps release the growth hormones needed for a healthy speed of growth and when you don't get enough sleep your production of melatonin decreases which has also shown to slow down hair growth as well so guy parsons who's an expert trichologist he's also the founder of my hair doctor he puts it kind of like this he says as soon as you experience poor quality sleep your body doesn't function at an optimal level and since hair is not an essential tissue your body is going to prioritize it last so when your body doesn't get enough sleep it neglects your hair in order to take care of all your other vital organs and tissues so getting quality sleep allows your body to show your hair love and lack of sleep also leads to increased stress which we'll get to in point number three but this begs the question what does quality sleep look like because it's not just getting eight hours it's getting eight hours while also going to bed and waking up at the same time each night and morning so consistency and sleep cycles plus duration are vital for your circadian rhythm and when that's out of balance your sleep quality suffers so if you go to bed at NUMBER_TOKEN pm one night and then you go out to bed at NUMBER_TOKEN am the next night you're not actually getting quality sleep even if both nights you technically got NUMBER_TOKEN hours so you do have to have both duration and consistency and i know what a lot of you guys might be thinking is like well i get my eight hours i go to sleep at
