My personal hair growth journey of success, I myself stuck to this daily regimen: Take early morning sunshine every day for vitamin D. Eat vegetables of different colours. Using paraben-free and fragrance free hair shampoo and gently massaging two times per week with hair oil from litttleextra cocooonion oil. Important to keep in mind that hair growth is influenced by overall health as well as circulation and diet.

One of my best friends: she bleaches her hair every month, does the keratin relaxer every other month, blowdries plus flatirons her hair after every wash. She’s done that for at least 5 years now. And she has the thickest and longest hair I’ve ever seen. Her hair is so thick, many people think she wears extensions. I do literally nothing to my hair and I don’t even have a quarter of her thickness. At some point you just start questioning life...

[@areyoucereals]

It's funny, my hair actually grew a lot thicker after I got my hair high-lifted. I had done literally nothing to my hair until 2016 (when I cut it mid length for the first time and it has never been long since), and it was the thinnest and unhealthiest hair, but when I started cutting it and adding highlights and then high-lift coloured it, it grew much thicker and healthier.

During the summer of 2018 i had hair that barely reached my shoulders. Now, in january 2021 my hair has reached my lower back!! My hair used to be so thin and barely grew before i tried these tips❤️: - Braid your hair into pigtails before sleeping (to avoid breakage) - Take biotin and silica daily (this really kickstarted my hairgrowth, and i dont use it anymore - it truly worked for me!) - Be gentle and PATIENT and your fingers to work through knots and tangles. - Use a good hair oil and leave in conditioners after washing your hair (hair oil also helps to soften tight knots) - Rinse with cold water (i do it in the sink) after shampoo to close cuticles - Use hairties without those metal pieces on them - Spend time finding split ends and cut them off so the split doesn’t split any further and weaken the hair strand - Always try to avoid heat styling and blowdrying - Avoid too much stress and anxiety, as it fucks up your hormones (as mentioned in the video) Hope your hair grows all the way down to your ass. Amen 😘

My hair is still pretty fine in texture, but it seems like theres just more hair follicles now 😅 my mom (now age 53) used to have many bald spots and thats caused her to have very, very thin hair now... when you’re 48 your body is most likely entering/or in the middle of menopause, so i’d definitely suggest you speak to your doctor about the hair loss ❤️ many women (40+) start losing hair due to hormonal changes. But maybe you’re low on certain vitamins, or maybe there’s something else to be done☺️ good luck!

@@Hari-bz1mh yeah i LOVE Biosilk Silk therapy 😭 i bought a small 15 ml bottle that lasted me 2 months and i used it after washing ny hair, while its damp. You wanna apply hair products while your hair is damp because the hair cuticles will be opened and able to take in all the nutrients of the product ❤️ completely wet hair will not absorb oil because as we know, water and oil wont mix. biosilk can be super pricy and small bottles may be hard to find, so Revlon Uniq 1 (one) leave in is also amazing, same goes for Syoss beauty elixir. I’ve tried numerous oils during my hair growth journey, and these oils truly help SO much when it comes to detangling your hair with your fingers.

Yes! Although I wanna site something. She mentions silk satin hair protectors and those are actually toxic to your skin it turns out and can lead to hair loss and skin damage. You can do further investigation if you’re curious about why this is exactly, but I’m sure that was something she threw in and wasn’t included in the text. I always assumed it was the best considering the silky material. I have about 5 feet of hair for example and I only use scrunchies, but I was using silk and satin hair covers, pillows, scrunchies until I recently experienced some really upsetting shedding. Cotton is apparently better for the skin.

YES, most of the time it’s just people talking about THEIR hair type, which is okay, but they never acknowledge that all hair is different, so they somehow expect us to get the same results which at times can be quite frustrating,especially for different people who may be new to hair care and don’t know any better. IE: when I first started hair care I washed it everyday and practically ripped out my curly locks because I thought that’s how it should be and I’m happy now that we’re able to just go to videos like this and get help, boy I wished I had this when I started my hair journey😃

My doctor recommended swimming for my back problems, and I would wet hair before going into the pool, cover hair with conditioner, place a lycra cap over my hair, and then a rubber cap over that.

I liked that you made that distinction between combing wet vs dry for straight/wavy and curly/coily hair. I was always confused about which way was better and I’d read about one being better and then next time it’s the other being better

[@Yadigar23]

Hi, Girl! You are so good doing this stuff, and you look so great! 🥰 I'm a woman who turned 62 years old in December, and by that time I had grown my hair for 4 years. I was totally short, like a boy cut, when I decided to let my hair grow. In my teens, twenthies,thirthies, forthies and fifthies I had my hair between my shoulders to my back, just above my bra. I never seem to get it longer, so now I wanted to give it a try. In about 2 years with no trimming, it reached my bra on my back, and the next 2 years it reached my waist. Now I' m 4 years and 3 months in, and now its another 5 cm longer. I trim it very little 3 times a year now. Like 3mm- 1,5 cm. I want it to reach my mid hips, just before my thies, around midway on my butt. That is because I want my braid to reach my upper part of the hips. Its now to my waist when braided. I have very thick hair, and thickness is all the way down, so I love it, and even young people does give me compliments on it. I have natural light blonde hair, so my grey's does not show too much. Every year early spring, I dye it with a tone just one small grade darker, because the sun makes it very White. I do not want to meet another summer with my hair all white already. I use Loreal excellence number 8. And by doing that I get the exact same natural colour I had in my early teens before I ever had any colour added. My daughter say I have to donate my hair, when I die, because it is so soft and thick. May be I will, May be I will tell her to cut it, haha. I want her to take a picture of me first though.🤣 The pic on my Page here is from December. Hair was white after a long summer by the sea. But its not like that now. Its more like yours. In about 1 year I might have reached my goal. My hair never gets greasy on my scalp, and I do not clean it more than 1-2 times a week. Now I can not understand why I never let it grow longer when I was young. Makes me irritabel, haha, because I could have looked much more pretty. Well, now I'm a wife, mother and grandmother, so who cares how I look. 😆 I just wanna be a grand old Lady with nicer hair than most grannies I know. That is ok enough. God bless you Girl, and you guys whoever reading. Take care! Greetings from Norway. 🌷🤍🌷🤍🌷🤍🌷🤍🌷🤍🌷🤍🌷

What's your hair washing methods/products you use?

[@JoJoGranum]

You’re the first poster I’ve seen over 50 (I’m sure there are others). What do you do to keep it thick and strong? I’m having thinning hair due to menopause.

[@Carmen-us1ew]

This past year I've started using henna to color my hair. It's all natural and covers and stays on the white hairs better than any box color. If I use a box color, it comes off of the white hair in 2 weeks, even if it's permanent color. I'm not saying you have to use henna. I just wanted to comment here and say your hair sounds beautiful!!! 💕

[@soumya615]

Your birthday is on December! Me too! I'm 9 - 14 years old

[@Yadigar23]

@@JoJoGranum sorry Im late...almost 4 years since I was here. I cut my hair off March 8. 2024. By that time my hair was shorter than the years and months before, but still 87 cm. I kept it by never using hairdryer, no spray, nothing on my scalp, only a bit conditioner at the ends....that I did not rinse out. I ate vitamins, drinking whole milk, eating eggs, I trimmed it 2 cm every second month. If I want long hair again I just let it grow. But I love it now. Fit for a girl soon 66.

[@sarahsambucini7271]

Sarah, we share a name, and long hair stories also. Grew up not able to cut my hair, long story. But I always did have long hair, so every time I cut it I cried. But people always were like, you have 4 kids, why the hair? You are too old for long hair. Done listening, I do not feel right with short hair ( short to me is around mid back really) I had hair down to my knees as a teenager. My mother washed it every 4 days, finger combed it and braided it when dry , 2 days later, used conditioner for tangles. So that is how I still do my hair. Your video came up, and I am very happy it did!

Drying time depends on porosity and not on the texture of hair

This is actually pretty interesting. So many of these types of videos end up giving out inaccurate info, but this seems very straightforward and backed up by science and studies. My hair is about to hit classic length and I’ll hopefully hit thigh length sometime next year. It’s not quick though! My hair grows quicker than the average person and it still took me 4 years to get it down to my butt from a pixie cut !
