TipDay #4

To help healthy hair grow, avoid heat tools. Let you hair air dry and if you must use heat, put a heat protectant on before.

Grow Lots of Locks

Hey Beautiful,
     I cut of 7 inches off my hair and I know you guys are sick of hearing of it. But I wake up every morning and I miss my hair. I love short hair for summer, but just not on me. I have a very long face, so having short hair just makes that so much more obvious. Today is the day that we shall embark on our hair growing adventure and documenting it on here. I will be trying out all those hair growing myths and products. The first thing I am going to be trying is the Hair Fertilizer  Organic Root Stimulator, which is basically a hair mask. From what Rachel (from CheckInTheMirror) you basically rub it on your scalp, brush it through to the ends and sleep with it at night. I'm going to try using it this way and see what happens.
     I am currently using Lush's New! Solid Shampoo, New is the name of it. Which is also supposed to be an organic root stimulator. I have been using this for years and am on my 7th bar. However, when it's finished I'm going to be picking up some of the Mane N' Tail shampoo and conditioner. This is supposed to help your hair grow healthy and strong.
     Maybe I will also pick up a vitamin supplement that contains biotin and folic acid, other wise known as the hair, skin and nails vitamins. But vitamins don't really react well with my body. I always have terrible stomach pains when I take them, so I don't feel that comfortable this method.
     If you have any other suggestions for me to try, just leave them down below whether it be a helpful comment or link to a blog post about hair growth. I will be putting up a picture of my progress every other week. I don't know how much difference we'll be able to see because hair averagely grows 1/2 inches every month.
     Stay beautiful, Rose
And this is the length
that we're starting with.

Hair, Long Beautiful Hair

Hey beautiful,
     I'm going to tell you all about my love for long hair and how I make sure it becomes long and stays healthy (aka my hair routine). Just when ever I talk about long hair I think of the hippie musical Hair and this one song called "Hair" (very original, I know) which is all about having really long hair and not wanting to cut it. So last May I cut 7 inches off my hair which made it shoulder length and i missed my long hair so much. So in order to grow it back nice and healthy I did some research. I came across all these vitamin lists to make your hair grow faster and I really didn't want to take all these vitamins, so I kept looking. There beyond the vitamin lists I found my answer.
-The Lush "New" shampoo bar, I know shampoo bar? It sounds crazy but it is amazing. So basically what it does it stimulate your scalp with mint and cinnamon. This I didn't think was so bad for you seeing as it is all natural and being used on your body apposed to taking something. I love this thing some much that I am on my 5th bar of it and this stuff doesn't go quick. It lasts me 3 months, though I was my hair every other day because its better for your hair.
-Then since the shampoo may be a little crying at times I use the Aussie Moister conditioner afterwards and then pull my hair up letting it sit for a little bit. And rinse it out.
- When I get out of the shower I let my hair towel dry for abut 10 minutes and then put in Redken Extreme Anti- snap. Which I use as a leave-in conditioner to prevent breakage and split ends. And then I use Biosilk to smooth out my hair.
- Only after that do I brush my hair with a wide tooth comb, to prevent the kind of breakage a brush would do. From there I let it dry completely. I try to never straighten my hair or use any heat, though I do daily on my bangs.
These are all the steps I take to make sure that my hair grows long and healthy.

Stay beautiful, Rose
