How To Grow Your Hair Long When You Feel It Isn't Growing Anymore

My hair doesn't feel like it's growing! How do I help it?

- I wish there was a magic pill that would give you Rapunzel hair instantly but unfortunately hair has a mind of it's own. Although the growing of your hair takes a while, you would rather take longer to grow out your hair so that by the time it gets to the length you want, it is healthy, thick and happy rather than grow grow grow your hair and by the time it gets to the length you want it is breaking, thin and needs 6 inches cut off. Right?

The process can be frustrating but it doesn't hair to be! Here are my top tips on how to keep your hair healthy and to get it to grow longer and faster!

1: Use PROFESSIONAL HAIR PRODUCTS (Shampoos, conditioners, styling products and treatments) this step is the most crucial!!!

2: Get the ends of your hair cleaned up and get a surface trim every 6 weeks. No I am not saying to cut off inches at a time. Just clean up the line and take care of the split ends. This will make all the difference in keeping your hair healthy!

3: Go longer between washes (let your hair absorb those oils, it needs them to grow and be healthy)

4: If you use heat on your hair, USE A HEAT PROTECTANT! Even if you spend lots of time in the sun, spray some on to protect your hair from the uv rays. Using a heat protectant will protect your hair from unnecessary damage from heat styling tools. I make sure to always use a heat protectant spray before I use any kind of heat on my hair.

5: Do Treatments on your hair! No I do not mean search hair masks on pinterest and making one at home out of raw eggs and cooking oil. No, just no. Go into the salon and have a treatment done every 6 weeks to keep your hair feeling soft, smooth and making sure it is getting the right proteins, moisture and strength it needs to keep growing strong and healthy.

I get the Oribe Smoothing Treatment done and it is a lifesaver! It makes your hair 4X Smoother, 4X Softer and 74% more manageable with providing your hair will hydration, the sealing of your hair cuticles and helps retain your color! Bonus!! It makes your hair way easier to blow dry!!

7: When putting your hair up, utilize scrunchies and telephone cord elastics. These put less tension on your hair and will cause significantly less damage than traditional hair elastics.

8: Utilize Heatless Hairstyles. The less heat you can use on your hair, the better it will grow. I personally have to use heat at least 2 times a week to remain looking human. But the more you can create waves using braids or just wear braids or something that doesn't require heat, your hair will thank you!

Stop thinking that you can't cut your hair because you want it long. TRUST ME trimming it to where it is healthy and continually keeping up on it will 100% change your hair game. Stop waiting till your ends are invisible to get a baby trim. Trim your ends (and by that I do not mean taking of inches and inches) before they get bad so that way your hair never goes through that rough looking stage. If you keep your hair trimmed up, it will grow faster, longer and better.
