Help me grow my hair

[StrawberriesAndCream123]

Hi,

I have been trying to grow my hair long for about 4 years. It was just above shoulder length and has grown just below shoulder length, so about 4/6 inches in 4 years.

I don't wash to often and limit straightening to once a week. I only have it cut every other visit to the salon (12 weeks).

Any tips to speed things up?

I agree with the no cutting.
Im growing out a pixie and I look at a long hair forum online. Lots of people on there have hair down their backs and do challenges like "no trim 2018".

If you look after it, you wont need much trimmed off if you leave it for a long time. Your straighteners wont be helping either.

My cuts are the bare minimum, just shaving off the split ends.

Years ago I stopped buying and using supermarket shampoos [pantene, herbal essences etc...] and switched to Faith in Nature shampoo. One summer we had a bottle of their rosemary shampoo and when my daughter went back to school after the summer, her friends thought she had had extensions as her hair had grown so much over the summer!!

I think split ends move way slower than hairdressers would have you believe (fair enough: they’ve a living to make after all), but as long as you avoid heat on your hair and don’t faff with it too much you really don’t need many trims.

Faith in Nature shampoo is lovely and smells great too - keep an eye out for offers in Holland and Barrett

Dr Organic shampoo in H&B is also lovely.
