Afternoon beauty fix: Sick of short hair? This healthy mask will help make it longer

I’ve been wearing my hair short but am now anxious to grow it long enough for a ponytail—is it possible to speed up the growth, or do I need to rely on patience alone?
Some argue that supplements, low stress, a healthy diet, and the warm summer months can speed up hair growth, while others suggest your only hope is to avoid scissors for as long as possible. Having your hair as healthy as possible is your best bet for good growth because it builds your defense against breakage and helps you avoid a dead-end trim or two. Avoid dehydrating shampoos and conditioners (they’re often the really sudsy ones) and invest in a vitamin-enriching treatment, like Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask & Restorative Mask ($37, moroccanoil.com). Using it twice per week will allow for improved texture, more shine, and a higher likelihood of welcoming longer lengths once your short crop finally grows out.
