Hey my lovlies!
Not been on here for a long while...5 months actually. I kind of lost hope with my whole hair growth regime, I was disheartened when taking photos in april, may and june and my hair had only grown the two inches. I just thought 'what the hell?'.
DONT STOP READING... I did not cut my hair. Anyway live got the better of me, I was still using the Lee Stafford shampoo and Mane 'n' tail conditioner (which I feel does nothing for my hair). It was my boyfriends graduation in June then I went to Florida for three weeks - did not take any of my shampoo or conditioner and just used my boyfriends sisters hair products (she lives in America).
While I was away my hair grew ONE WHOLE INCE. I literally took a photo of my growth at the end of june and it was STILL "two inches" so I was like "whatever you mother f*****".
The photo below shows a progress photo from March 2013 I believe through August 2013. So that is around 3 inches in 6 months which is slooooow progress but still the average hair growth rate!
What did I do differently?
So as you can see my hair is now all black with no dip dye. It is a lot thicker and healthier than in march and I believe that is key in hair growth. Get your hair healthy first then concentrate on the growth.
While in Florida my hair was up constantly as it was far too hot to wear it down, I kept to washing my hair twice a week and I was not stressing about my hair growing! I believe all these things mixed together made for a perfect growing place for my locks.
Whats next?
I am re-starting my biotin and using only a blow dryer on my hair for four weeks (will still be straightening my bangs). So for the next four weeks my hair will most likely be in a bun when I am at work or out and about. I straighten my hair EVERY day and I am beginning to feel this is holding my growth back.
I am planning on blogging at least monthly, however, be sure to know I will be blogging for sure whenever I see progress! Wish me luck on my no straightening challenge...
