Almost every girl at one point in their life strives for long hair, I used to have luscious long hair and then one day I decided to chop it to my shoulders :O Around 2 months after I cut it I wanted my long hair back :( so I went crazy trying to find ways for it to grow back quicker.
*Note: I AM NOT A QUALIFIED HAIRDRESSER I AM JUST A GIRL WHO GREW HER HAIR OUT*
Now before we start I will just let you know what sort of health or type my hair is. I have dyed my hair repeatedly since I was 12 years old I have varied from red to purple to ginger to blue black with red/pink ends and then to my natural dark brown. I have always had thick hair and it is incredibly curly which goes frizzy when I brush it which puts me off of brushing (very naughty I know). I also ignore the rule of going to get a trim every 6 weeks but that is due to lack of money so I just trim off the ends myself when they begin to look too dead or my hair gets too frizzy.
Now I am not saying these things I have done will work for everyone's hair a lot of people may have it different to me but hey it's worth a try right?
#1 I wear my hair up A LOT! now yeah I ain't claiming this will make your hair grow but when you finally take it down after a while of having it up you will feel like it has practically doubled in length even if only a few inches have grown :D
#2 I only wash my hair once maybe twice a week maximum now yes this will feel incredibly gross when you begin but due to having a skin condition I was used to not showering/ washing my hair daily because if I did the hot water would dry my skin out and cause it all to flake off. Times when I do need to shower but not want to wash my hair I use a shower cap. I also recommend the previous tip when you are doing this because it will hide the greasiness to a degree so no one will judge you.
#3 There is a lot of debates on whether or not to do this but I only condition the bottom 2 thirds of my hair now I know the hair grows from the root but due to not washing it daily there gets a small oily build up at the root area which is the hairs natural way of conditioning itself. I condition the ends to keep them looking smooth and healthy which I personally have found to reduce my split ends which means my hair requires less frequent trims therefore your hair grows longer between each cut :D
#4 Again another one of a debate but this is what has worked. I swap out my shampoos and conditioners every 4 weeks to a month. At the moment I currently own in my bathroom (bare in mind I am the only female in my household) 6 different shampoos and conditioners and they are all supposedly formulated for different things. If my hair feels dry one month I will use a hydrating, if my colour looks dull or my hair is particularly colour damaged I will use a colour protect variety etc.
So if I figure out more I will post them on here or in a second but for now hope you found this helpful/interesting.
