Growing long hair is not a snap 'I am long'...unless you have the genes!
No one has hair that is stuck up on growth. We all have growing hair, just change a few things and see...
It takes patience, sacrifice and passion....It;s hard work, but if you are passionate and can do with a few sacrifices, it might be a walk in the park.
Your hair has three growth stages;
Anagen- Growth phase that can last between 3-5 years or longer depending on an individual.
Catagen-Transition phase that lasts about 10 days.
Telogen- A resting phase where your hair is released and falls out. Your follicles remain inactive for about 3 months....then the process repeats itself
TIPS
Nutrition
Eating healthy is not a question, It's key. Your hair texture says a lot about what you eat. Just a touch and someone can tell. So eat healthy...loads of vitamins and whole foods, proteins and good fat.
Avoid alcohol and drugs
I don;t want to get into your buzz but like I said 'passion and sacrifice'
Trim your hair
The split ends and that hair that is kinda see through at the tip of your hair, does no good for your hair growth journey. Chop them.
Do not over wash your hair, even if you go to the gym and sweat buckets. Wash your hair once a week utmost. Over washing dries out your hair and it ends up breaking.
Brush your hair from the ends up towards your scalp.
Wrap up your hair while going to sleep. It avoids breakage.
Drink a lo of water to hydrate your body and hair.
Avoid chemicals( relaxing and dying), and if you must use, do it once in a 'I need it' moon. Unless your hair is 'iron' ( that iron hair that chemicals do nothing to...it bounces right back like nothing happened....yeah)
Deep condition
Deep condition your hair.
Here are some good ones I use;
Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed Collection Fix My Hair http://amzn.to/2wJAOGu
Project beauty Hairgart smoothing deep conditioner http://amzn.to/2xyW9jv
Oils
Use oils that will hydrate and moisturize your hair, i.e coconut oil, argan oil or avocado.
An oil that is bomb for long hair is burdock oil (http://amzn.to/2wKv6nK) you use it on your scalp only (that is another post)
So far this steps have worked for me, try them and don't give up in just a year......patience....
