How I Grew My Hair To Hip Length

How I grew my hair to hip length

I think I'm at a point in my hair journey where I'm pretty close to archiving "perfect hair", so if you're looking for some tips, you've come to the right person. <3

My Routine:

I wash my hair every two days. I have straight brunette hair, so it's pretty obvious when it starts to get oily, but I've learned that training your scalp is BS, so just wash it when you feel like it's necessary!!

Hair oiling. I use Amla Oil once a week; I apply it to my scalp and massage it throughout my hair. I only oil once a week because I have to double cleanse my hair after each time, and it's annoying lol

Olaplex. Olaplex was a game-changer for me; I listed my products down below!! Only use Olaplaex when your hair feels dry or damaged tho!!

Protective hairstyles for the night. I ALWAYS sleep with two Dutch braids, I've tried my hairstyles, and this one has been my favourite!!

I don't use heat. The only thing I do is blow-dry my hair when it's already like 80% dry!! Letting your hair air dry completely can make it oily. :)

Trimming your ends. I Trim my hair every 3 months by myself. Invest in a good pair of haircutting scissors; it's so worth it!!

Products I use:

Lush. I've tried many things, but the 'Fairly traded honey' shampoo and the 'American Cream' conditioner are my all-time favourites!!

Olaplex. Nº.6 Bond Smoother 1x every week, Nº.7 Bonding Oil 1x every two weeks, Nº.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo 1x every 4-6 weeks.

Moroccan oil. Moroccanoil Treatment Light like 1-2x a week.

Other stuff I use: tangle teezer wet detangler, silk scrunchies, Dyson Blowdryer, silk pillowcase.

Simple Do's and Don'ts:

Eat more protein

Take collagen subelements

Try overnight hairstyles like 'overnight curls' to avoid using heat

Don't dye or bleach your hair

Don't use heat or styling tools

Never sleep with wet or damp hair

Some more secrets and weird stuff:

When I'm bored I trim my split ends one by one lol don't ask

I would rather eat rat poison than use a curling iron or cheap shampoo

If I have to sleep without my silk pillowcase I will definitely cry

I'm terrified of regular hair ties

braid your hair when it's windy and you have to leave the house!!

Brush and braid your hair with good intentions… again… DON'T ASK!! >:(
