My Rapunzel hair is 5ft long & super thick – I swear by a free hack to get it to grow fast & it only takes a few mins
A WOMAN who’s hair is a whopping five feet long has shared the free hack she swears by to make it grow long and thick.
Phoebe Williams has wowed the internet with her impressively long tresses, and recently took to TikTok to reveal her quick and easy trick for luscious locks.
She revealed that five times a day, she gives her head a massage, to stimulate hair growth.
Asked when she finds the time to do this, Phoebe revealed that she massages her head whilst watching TV or waiting for the kettle to boil.
Phoebe said that she is often asked whether her hair gets greasy from massaging it so often, but assured that she washes her hands beforehand and uses a bamboo hairbrush to prevent this.
Explaining the reasoning behind her hair growth method, Phoebe revealed that in traditional Chinese medicine, the health of your hair and nails is related to the flow of energy through your body.
“So if you have stagnant lymph nodes or stagnant blood then you’re gonna have hair loss or your nails won’t grow,” she said.
Therefore, massaging your head helps to get the blood moving around your body, and thus stimulates hair growth.
During her massages, Phoebe first rubs her neck for 30 seconds, before moving on to her clavicle.
After another 30 seconds, she then makes the peace sign with her fingers and presses them down underneath her ears.
She then makes circles with her fingers on the back of her neck for 30 seconds, before moving to her scalp and massaging it all over.
“In terms of growing hair, this is the best way to do it,” she said.
“And it’s the cheapest too.”
Phoebe’s (@phoebekatewilliams) video has gone viral, racking up over 3.2 million views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts on her hair growth hack.
One person said: “I seriously cannot stop staring at your hair.”
Hair re-growth FAQs
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous.
How long does it take for hair to grow back?
Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up.
Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work?
Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn’t do much for
male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won’t cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate.
Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth?
To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we’d recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months.
Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster.
Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans.
However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist.
