Today is a hair day… mostly cause my (hopefully one day sista-in-law) was texting me.. regarding a much needed hair change.
I have always been a sucker for chopping my hair… dying it, highlighting it, cutting bangs… then wondering:
“WHY WON’T MY HAIR GROW….!!!!????”
Hmmm I don’t know… is it from the scissors… the bleach… the blow drying… the flat iron… not taking your vitamins… you pick!
I have finally decided to hold back the urge for drastic changes & just let is grooowww.
I am proud to say I have not done anything to my hair since January 30… & can you believe it!? Its actually growing!! Yippeee!
Here are a few things I have been working on:
1) Not to getting highlights… my hair bleaches in the sun well enough.. I don’t need to add the chemicals too! (Right… maybe one streak…?)
2) Let your hair AIR DRY! With my hair getting some weight to it I find I don’t have to blow dry it all the time, as it doesn’t get that one wave that looks like you just took out your 10 hour ponytail. Just go out in the wind… & rock it…;)
3) Less Flat Iron… to No Flat Iron… this extreme heat can totally damage your hair! I know its hard.. especially once getting in the habit of using it.. But I have been trying not to use it so much.
4) Condition… I have a leave in conditioner that I try to put in at night, when I know I will be washing my hair in the morning. I’m really not sure how well it is working.. but my ends have held up a lot better then they usually do.
5) Don’t Back Comb… unless its a VERY fancy occasion… I LOVE back combing my fine hair into a Huge Beautiful Do! Anyway.. It causes hair to break… Not grow.. unfortunately!
The bigger then hair the closer to God… am I right Ladies!?

These five things have been making a difference in my hair care… The other day I was thinking I needed a change… I needed a trim or a colour or a hack job! But I held it off… then today was a totally different story.. I swear it grew & tamed itself over night.. as I absolutely love it!
Here is a blog I find that gave me some extra tips for growing my hair… She has LONG BEAUTIFUL hair.. so I have full faith in that her direction is a good one.
