Lee Stafford and No heat challenge results!

So my lovlies...it has almost been 30 days since I used a pair of straighteners on my lovely locks (only two days short). 

So I straightened my hair last night and I am AMAZED at the results. Besides from the length, which I will show you below, my hair is just so much more healthier. Its shiny and easy to deal with. I am beginnings to love my natural curl and think it will look amazing when I have longer hair. 

So here are the length results...

Sorry about the quality of my photo I am a little ill and couldn't really be bothered editing it to a T. BUT ONE WHOLE INCH....what the? I will definitely be using my straighteners much much less! 

The past week was really hard to not grab the straighteners and get my straight hair back! And when I did straighten my hair it felt so limp and lifeless, something I have never noticed before.

So whats in store for the next month with my hair?

I am STILL using my Lee Stafford Growth Leave In Treatment every-time I wash my hair, twice weekly, for only 5 minutes. This treatment really makes my hair so silky and soft. Not sure if it takes part in the growth of my hair but I still love the product.

Not using straighteners all the time, only on special occasions or when I feel I need to feel extra glam.

Still taking my biotin and vitamin D! 

Please comment if you like or dislike anything I have said in this post, I would LOOOOOVE to hear your opinions! And maybe some hair growing tips if you have any.

Have a lovely day my lovelies!

Hair growth progress!

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...

100 days of...

Hey there my lovelies :)

I'm sorry if the grammar and spelling within this blog is horrendous, I am writing from my iPhone today as I am lazy.

So basically I am starting my own little challenge: "100 days of biotin and folic acid" to see how these vitamins affect my hair growth, skin and nails. As you can see from the picture I am also taking multi vitamin for general health!

I will do a blog possibly every month or I will do it half way through my challenge! Let me know what YOU want to read!

I am taking:

Holland and Barretts biotin: 300ug (£4.60)

Boots folic acid: 400ug (£1.99)

Boots multivitamin: biotin - 50ug. Folic acid - 200ug (79p)


Have an awesome day my sweety pies :)
