hey ladies i'm lower back about tail bone..then i got almost three inches trimmed off(my mom said my ends were getting thin)Doesnt mean it still didnt hurt...lol.Anyway i thought maybe i can share a few tips anyway.
What was your starting length for growing your hair? (twa, chin, shoulders, etc.)
lower neck
How long did it take you to achieve waist length hair from that starting point?
about
2 1/2 3 years
Are you relaxed, texturized, or natural?
I'm relaxed
What was you regime as you grew your hair out?
I wash my hair once a week with a cheap gentle shampoo-less build up
I then wet set it and get my roots blown out and have it wrapped.
i wrap my hair religiously,if i'm home its wrapped no exceptions
(i wear no protective style so wrapping is the only thing that protects my ends.)I do braid-outs on occasion to save my hair from damaging heat.I relax my hair so i try to be as gentle with it as i can.
What products did you use?
I pre-poo with coconut milk mixed with evoo.
i alternate my products because my hair seems to get bored with some of the same products.
As mentioned i use gentle shampoos because the creme shampoos give me build up making my hair heavy
erplexed .my deep treatments are humecto,ntm mask,got2bsmooth,humectress,motions silk protien.
i use a creme rinse to comb out my horrible tangles /miss keyes creme rinse is really good.
i then spray my hair with boilage daily leave-in tonic(thanx datjerseydime)
I never use setting lotion it gives me hard heavy curls.I use leave-in like organics hair mayonnaise,cantu shea butter leave-in.I use lacio lacio leave-in for silky braid outs!For weekly keep up i keep my ends oiled with coconut oil,aloe vera oil.Use a small amount of product on my hair during the week.Just oil my ends when i need it.
What styles did you wear?
bone straight mainly.I braid out maybe once or twice a month.I hardly wear a pony.
Any other hair growing tips???
well i noticed my hair grew more when i skipped the serious trims and kept my hair care simple.i stopped with the weaves,gels,and hardcore heat.I paid attention to what my hair thrived on and hated.I stopped with the heavy cremes and grease,i truly believe less product more hair growth.Hair needs to breathe and thrive.
I stopped letting strangers cut my hair.They would trim so much i felt they setting me back 6 months of hair growth!!I let my mother trim my hair maybe three times a year.She usually trims about a inch each time.
well thats it..pretty simple.
