A few months ago I had a devasting adventure at the hair salon. I went in for my regular "wash, set, and blow dry". After I finished the first 2 steps (wash, and set), they blow dried my hair...the woman who was working on my hair (blow drying it) looked at my hair in disgust and was like, my hair is really damaged and I needed it to be cut. I was sooooo hesitant, because it was already kind of short (it had been breaking off). So I'm like whatever, just do it, I told her. She began to snip away, and I literally was trying to hold back my tears as I warched my hair fall to the ground, lol :( I know, such a baby! Anyways, I hated it at first, then kind of began to like it, then I started wearing extensions because I was back at hating it!!
One day I was on Youtube, and I was searching for videos on how to care for natural curly hair. I ran across "shortysgs03". And now, I have a new found love for rocking my curly hair, and having a better knowledge on how important it is to care for your hair!
So, since my hair was cut off (think of a bob cut), I wanted it to get back to its healthy state! I started taking "hair, skin, and nail" vitamins from Walgreens, began drinking water, and went cold turkey on wearing my hair straight. Which meant my hair was FREE from heat exposure :) I did this for almost 3 months. This week, I decided to wash my hair, and roller set, and sit under the dryer (those are sold at beauty supple stores). I was amazed at how much my hair actually grew in 3 months!!
So now, I think I will start this routine, where I will wear my hair straight maybe every 2 months or so, and see how the length of my hair changes. I usually don't wear my hair straight in the summer season anyways because when I do, my hair doesn't stay. It will curl up :(
So if any of you suffer from the same thing, I suggest, a good diet, meaning multi-vitamin, lots of H2O, and letting your hair be in its natural state without putting heat to it OR coloring it as much!!
Hope this was helpful to some of you, Thanks, xoxo
