How to Make Vellus Hair Grow
- 1). Stimulate the scalp with a scalp massage. Place your hands on your head, outstretch your fingers and gently knead the scalp for one to two minutes daily. This action improves blood supply at the root of the hair, which brings more nutrients to the hair follicles.
- 2). Wash and condition your hair with the right products for your hair type. Choose shampoos and conditioners that correspond with your hair type such as oily, dry or normal. Don’t overwash vellus hair--the pulling and stretching done to the hair during shampooing can damage the hair and cause breakage.
- 3). Rinse your hair in cool or lukewarm water to prevent drying out the hair. Dry hair becomes brittle and is more prone to breaking. Vellus hair is delicate and needs to be treated gently for it to grow.
- 4). Apply a little oil to vellus hair to cut down on breakage. Use coconut or olive oil to moisturize. This oil helps to cut down on breakage.
