your hair looks healthy so with the right practices you should have no problem growing it back to the length it was an beyond.

Do you use heat often? The fastest/easiest route will be protective styling and limited heat, and keeping your moisture/protein balance in check. How often do you relax?

WELCOME!!

Your hair looks healthy and full! How often do you shampoo and condition? Do you have any deep conditioners? I suggest purchasing a moisture based and a protein based conditioner. Also, how do you wear your hair normally? is your hair color treated?

WELCOME to the LHCF family!!!

If you've never had a haircare regimen before, I can tell you its going to take some time for you to find out exactly what your hair likes and dislikes. But as others have already mentioned, your hair looks pretty full and healthy, so you may already be halfway there without even knowing it. Here, you will find lots of suggestions, ideas, and recommendations. Remember to take things slow as you go. Know that it takes more than just one or two uses to determine if your hair actually likes a product.

I'll start out by sharing with you "MY" current regimen. As others chime in with what works for "THEM" it will be your job to pull the pieces together for yourself and create a plan of action that works for you.

I'm thinking you'll probably need to learn a few of the most use acronyms, too. Like DC=deep condition, M&S=moisturize and seal, HHJ=Happy Haircaire Journey...

Anyway...here's my regimen:
Wash and DC weekly
Air Dry only
Henna monthly
M&S daily
PS....ummmm.....forever!!
weekly overnite hot oil treatment.

Growth aids:
HAIRFINITY vitiamins (...da bomb!!!)
Tropical Isle Strong Roots Red Pimento & Castor Oil hair growth oil.

Keep asking questions....you'll learn fast.

WELCOME again!!

I have a really good, cheap multivitimin you can try. It's called Multi-Day Trade; Multi-Vitamin Plus Minerals.

You can get it at puritan's pride website. I have been using it for about a year and half, I believe. I feel like they helped aid in keeping my hair healthy.

I relax my hair about once every two months.
