Hair Growth Journey

Hair Journey!


So, for about 2 months now I've invested in hair products that I thought was good for my damaged and over-processed hair. About a year ago, I thought it was a good idea to bleach my hair at home..3 TIMES! Yeah, I know. Not the brightest idea..(no pun intended.) I'm almost positive my hair hated me for a while. I cut off about 4 inches of my hair to get most of the damaged part off, but I'm terrified of hair too short so that was all I could do. I did a lot of research online and I've managed to gather up hair advice and tips to come up with a hair routine:

  • Shampoo, condition and deep-condition my hair once a week.
  • Towel dry hair.
  • After, spray a leave-in-conditioner and "seal" that moisture with oil.
  • While hair is still damp with hair products, comb hair with a wide toothed comb to untangle hair.
  • Let hair air-dry. (or blow dry with cold air.)

Following that routine alone REALLY improved my hair. It also helped it grow and retain length. Retaining length is so so SO important in any hair growth journey. What's the point of growing out your hair if your ends break off? Using no heat at all on my hair is what I believed helped out the most. My hair doesn't break off anymore and I'm positive my hair routine has everything to do with it.

Products I use:

  • Shampoo: Mane 'n Tail Original Formula
  • Conditioner: Mane 'n Tail Original Formula
  • Deep Conditioner: Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner
  • Leave-In Conditioner: Aussie Hair Insurance
  • Oil: Organix Morrocan Argan Oil
 I was also able to achieve longer hair with this routine. I even took before and after pictures to keep myself motivated:





I didn't measure my hair unfortunately so I'm not sure how long it has actually grown but I am really happy with the results.

My ultimate goal is tail-bone length hair, but my mini-goal for now is for my hair to be boob-length by Christmas. Right now, my hair is arm pit length.
