Once upon a time I had short hair. They
were dry and growing really slowly. One time I went to the super market and saw
this gorgeous woman with extremely long and beautiful hair. And I said to
myself „I want my hair to be that long“. From that moment something magical
happened.
My hair became the most
precious thing in the whole wide world. I started surfing on the internet to
find out the ways to help my hair grow and make them shinier, softer and so
on. After years and years of research and the marathon of growing my hair, I
finally have my hair to be the exact lenght as I wanted. It took me about three
years of extreme love and care to my hair. As they began growing faster and
faster, everyone kept asking me how I grew my hair so long, what products I used and many more questions, so I thought I should share my knowledge
with those who are interested in having longer hair.
Now it is
time for the action. First of all have in mind that these are just some basic steps, that will help you, but also you have to find the products that fits you hair too. . So here are the ten steps towards longer and better looking hair:
1. The first and the most important rule is to LOVE
YOUR HAIR no matter what. You have to be the guard, the saviour. Every time you are going to bed
or dressing up or doing any kind of movement that is connected to your hair you
have to think about them first. You would ask how dressing up is connected to your hair. While dressing up, you are putting the material of clothing onto your
hair and you’re making it electrified and all tangly, so the first step of
doing any kind of movement, make sure you grab and hold your hair first to make
sure nothing bad happens.
2.
The second advice would be to try not to
dye your hair, especialy in blond.
Dyeing makes your hair dry and destroys your real haircolour. So try to avoid
it or choose a darker colour.
3. The next thing I would advise you is not to wash
your hair everyday. I know that sometimes it is not possible but washing you
hair on a daily basis is making your hair dryer and your hair looses it’s natural
oil on your scalp and that is how dandruff starts to appear.
4. Also I would advise you to throw out your dryer,
straightener and curler, because these devices also drys out your hair and make
its ends chip and break. And you definitely do not want that, because you
won’t grow your hair any longer in decades if your hair would break.
5. Make sure you use the type of a shampoo or any
kind of hair products that is your hair type. I made a huge mistake by using
products for oily hair wishing I would have to wash my hair less often and that
was a really bad decision because I had dry hair and I made them even dryer and
less manageable.
6.
If you really want to grow your hair, you will
have to forget the rule that you need to cut your hair every month or two. If
your hair are healthy and ends are not chipped, there is no need to cut your
hair every month. By doing that you will
obviously have to wait much longer to grow longer hair. I cut my hair
once a year or sometimes even less.
7. If you are using sunbed, always wear the provided
hat. If it is not provided, do not
hesitate to ask for one. Make sure you protect your hair properly. Also if you
decide to use a straigtener or curler, make sure you apply the heat defence spray
to it.
8.
Protecting your hair while sleeping is important
too, so try sleeping with your hair being loose. By doing that you will make
sure that they will tangle and break less.
9. There are many types of hair brushes, so I would
recommend using the one that is right for you and your hair type. Brushing your hair is an important procedure
too. To make your hair chip and break less, you need to know how to brush your
hair properly. Start by brushing the ends very gently and carry on climbing up
and up till the roots of your hair. While brushing the ends, make sure you hold
hair and prevent it from falling out. Also, never go to sleep with wet hair.
Always make sure you brush your hair before going to bed.
10. The
last but not least advice would be to make your hair scalp massages regulary.
By doing that you will fasten your hair growth and make your new hair thicker.
These ten pieces of advice will help you through your hair growing
marathon. Also you need to find the best products for your hair and do not
forget rule 1 – love your hair and your love will be reflected on it.
