Cut Your Hair and It Will Grow Faster |
This is also a myth. Normally our hair grows about ¼ inch a month, give or take a bit. Some people are luckier and have hair that grows just a little longer in a month. You can give that a boost by eating a lot of protein, maybe sprout ½ inch monthly. But, cutting your hair does not cause it to grow faster.
People with shorter hair do appear to have faster growing hair because the end do not have as many slits or breaks in them, as a person that have longer hairstayles. And shorter hairstyle need to be maitained more with more haircuts to keep that style.
People who use hair dryers and curling irons on their hair daily (or often) do get more breaks and split ends though no matter the length of their hair. The heat causes the hair to become more brittle and does damage the hair. That's why they now have all kinds of styling aides for hair to help combat the problems caused by heat on hair.
So if you use heat to style or dry your hair you might think you hair does not grow fast, or if you have a shorter hair style you might think your hair grows faster. With all that said there is one other thing to be said hair on the same head does not all grow at the same rate. 100 hairs in one patch of the head will not all grow longer at the same time. The only natural way to increase hair growth is by exercise, as the increased blood flow to the scalp increases growth rate.

How to Get Rosy Cheeks |
Instead of resorting to rouse and other beauty products, how about looking for some natural solutions to get those luscious rosy cheeks. Here are some tips to get natural and healthy glow on your cheeks.
Facial massage
Try facial massage to make your cheeks blush. Massage your cheeks with fingertips. This will help to improve blood circulation in your face and will give your cheeks a natural blush.
Exfoliate your cheeks
Exfoliating skin is important to get natural colour. Dead skin cells often dampen the skin colour, making it look dull and drab. Regular exfoliation helps in removing dead cells and dust, and retains the cheek’s natural colour as well. Take some uncooked oatmeal and mix it with honey or milk and make a gentle scrub. Use this on your cheeks regularly.
Wash face with warm water
Wash your face with warm water as it will help to increase blood circulation in your cheeks. This is a two minute solution to get rosy cheeks.
Follow an exercise regime
Rosy cheeks have always been a sign of good health. So, if you are not feeling healthy that too can be the reason behind lacklustre cheeks. Get into an exercise mode to stimulate blood circulation throughout your body. The body will flush out toxins, and help in circulation of blood containing oxygen and nutrients. Exercising also keeps your complexion well-nourished. Hence, leaving your cheeks with a rosy tint.
Healthy and balanced diet
Eat carotenoid-rich foods. Carotenoids are yellow, orange and red pigments found in fruits and vegetables that give them their natural colour. So, add colourful foods such as carrots, tomatoes, capsicums (even the red and yellow ones), peaches, melons and everything colourful to your diet. Also try and eat foods rich in vitamin C and E to get rosy cheeks.
Drink plenty of water
Keep your system well hydrated. Drink 6-8 glasses of water to help the body stay hydrated and flush out toxins. Water will help to keep your lips and mouth moist and soft.
