Finally! I have long hair! It wasn’t easy but I made it. It lasted long months of trimming, strengthening, nourishing, using different products… Today’s post is about the tricks I used to grow long hair.
Firstly, hair care
You must identify your hair type and porosity to choose the right hair care methods and products. Your hair structure and the condition of cuticle layer tell you what cosmetics you should use. They must include substances that condition a given hair type. Once you pick products, you should remember to use them regularly. It’s the only way for taking good care of the scalp. Don’t forget to use cleansing, moisturising and peeling products in scalp care. Washing hair every two or three days is also crucial. You must systematically hydrate your hair to keep it healthy. Use suitable masks and conditioners. Do hair oiling from time to time. The most important thing: cut down on coloring and heat styling.
Secondly, say no to perm!
I know some of you will go for the treatment anyway but remember that perm hugely overburdens your hair and scalp. How to take care of permed hair? Use protein-enriched products at least twice a month. The perm treatment can weaken your hair and deprive hair of substances responsible for its health. Be careful with coloring and bleaching that can make your hair even weaker.
Thirdly, products
Oils, shampoos and conditioners will help you care for your hairdo. If you want to prevent dry and thinning hair, use coconut oil, castor oil, avocado oil, olive oil, almond oil and grapeseed oil. Use SLS-free shampoos for cleansing the scalp. Obviously, you must apply a product that removes the excess of sebum once in a while. Don’t forget about products with proteins, humectants and emollients.
