I've been trying to grow my hair out for years, and I'm finally getting there. My goal is to have my hair past my boobs, so theoretically, I could be at a topless beach, yet still totally covered. Not that I'm planning on going to one. These tips have helped my hair grow 3" in the past 3 months... (almost double the average rate of growth!)
1. I take Steroids. Two words: Biotin Baby. This stuff is like protein powder for guys who want to build muscle mass. It says you can take between 1 to 5 tablets daily! Be careful because it can be harmful to your kidneys if you take too much. But hey, I like to live on the edge. It's only $1.75 per bottle at Target.2. I stay away from cutting. Even though people claim that regular trims increase hair growth, it actually just prevents further breakage at your ends. If you are taking steps to prevent breakage, then you will notice fewer split ends, and you can go longer before you need a trim.
3. I only shampoo 1x a month. I can sense your judgments from here. Honestly, shampoo is TERRIBLE for curly hair, stripping the strands of any natural oils, leaving them dry and brittle like raw, uncooked spaghetti noodles. Instead I use conditioner to wash my hair, except for 1x month when I use a clarifying shampoo to eliminate product build-up.4. I use ethnic hair products. Yes, that's right, I buy a lot of products in the natural/relaxed hair section, right next to the doo-rags and weave-caps. From Jojoba hot oil treatments to hair "lotions," I find a lot of products here that help my hair from drying out.
XOXO, Dylan
i'm going to have to try these tips. thank you i am getting married in a little less than 5 months and am trying to get my hair a little longer, and with the whole shampooing thing, its not gross, i actually shampoo 1x a month as well but with water and baking soda mix with a little vinegar for shine, i'm trying to wean my hair from the harsh chemicals, your hair is soo much healthier without shampoo..but for the other tips ,never heard them before but thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip about the baking soda and vinegar! I know a lot of bride-to-be's are on some sort of hair regime to get their hair to grow fast :) I had never heard of vinegar before though, so thank you!
ReplyDeleteXOXO, Dylan
P.S. Congratulations on the wedding!
My hair stylist always recommends going to the ethnic aisle for hair products, particularly if you use hair color or frequently use a flat iron. Ethnic hair tends to be drier than most and the products are super moisturizing.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the dosage of each capsule? Is it 1000 or more?
ReplyDeleteThey are 1000 mcg and the bottle said to "take 1 to 5 tablet daily" :)
ReplyDelete1. I need to come out of the stalker closet. I came across your blog when you posted something about Jesse and I'm hooked. 2. I have curly hair(more like lion-mane frizz at times), so this is all so helpful. 3. When I was "stalking" your blog there was something about a wonderful mascara. I need it and can't find the name! That is all. (BTW: my name is Jamie-the crazy stalker chick.)
ReplyDeleteHey Jamie-the crazy stalker chick!
ReplyDeleteHaha, first I am so glad that you enjoy my blog! It's encouraging to know who reads it :)
Second, and more importantly, the name of the mascara is Lash Blast Volume by Cover Girl. It's the only orange bottle that they carry in stores. You'll see it right away. Hope you like it as much as I did!
