What was your starting length for growing your hair? (twa, chin, shoulders, etc.)
I cut my hair pretty short about 4 years ago on a whim. Maybe like ear length. Before that it was always around shoulder length, no longer. I always wanted longer hair, but just thought that I couldn't grow it because it never got any longer than that.
How long did it take you to achieve waist length hair from that starting point?
About 4 years.
Are you relaxed, texturized, or natural?
Natural
What was you regime as you grew your hair out?
Mostly conditioner washing, I use gentle shampoo diluted with a lot of water about once a week. Lots of deep conditioning with my heat cap. Seamless combs. Basically gentle care, moisture and no heat or chemicals. Being consistent with this simple routine and waiting a long time is what has lead me to waist length
What products did you use?
Elucence Moisture Benefits shampoo, Elucence condish, right now I'm really liking Curl Junkie products. I also really like Aura Hypoallergenic gel, it's really gentle, rinses clean and is very moisturizing.
What styles did you wear?
Well, I went through some periods of keeping my hair up pretty much exclusively, but now I wear it down probably like 2 times a week, up the rest of the time.
Any other hair growing tips???
Satin pillowcases, seamless combs, and patience! Patience and consistency are what really grow hair. I also like to trim my own ends about 1/4 inch every 2 months to keep them thick.
