What are Your Length Retention Secrets? Grow Your Hair Long and Healthy

[@Sunshine_Hime]

The first tip is soo true. Before, I would barely exercise and had a lot of stress from college, so my hair only grew 0.9 cm in a month even if I was eating well. But after I started exercising 3-5 times a week I noticed it now grows 1.5 cm in a month. I'm happier now, not just because my hair is growing faster, but overall I feel in a better mood, I'm barely stressed and more energetic. My body is more toned and I even sleep better. Edit: For those who are wondering 1 inch = 2.54cm and half of an inch is 1.27 cm.

[@EpicRealistTV]

Yes! Exercising consistently does help a ton with hair growth. :)

[@glamglam8347]

your hair grows 1 inch every month??? yeah okay

[@Lillyxxxo]

@@glamglam8347 Yes it can What about that is an issue for you ? SMH

[@EpicRealistTV]

@@glamglam8347 Yes, mine does as well and has been for years. Get over it.

[@Sunshine_Hime]

@@glamglam8347 I said CENTIMETRES(cm). An inch is 2.54 cm and half of an inch is 1.27 cm, so it's not a inch but its a bit more than it's half. According to some articles on Google: "On average, hair tends to grow between 0.5 and 1.7 centimeters per month. This is equivalent to around 0.2 to 0.7 inches. This estimate comes from The Trichological Society. However, lots of different factors affect the speed of hair growth"

1. Keeping my hair stretched and in protective styles. In my case, plaits (with no added hair). 2. Cleansing my hair one small section at a time. 3. Detangling my hair one small section at a time. 4. Deep conditioning after every wash. 5. Oiling my edges, nape, and ends at least 4-5 times per week. 6. Sleeping in silk or satin scarves and on silk or satin pillow cases. 7. Finger detangling only (except when my hair is straightened). 8. Protecting (cocooning) my ends with satin scrunchies. 9. Using quality, sulphate-free, moisturizing shampoos. 10. Using conditioning cleansers (co-washes), which, I think are largely slept on. 11. Using better-quality products. 12. Cutting way back on heat. 13. Avoiding hair ties, ponytails, buns, and tight hairstyles. 14. Being very gentle with my hair. 15. Applying my organic, homemade, oil-based hair butter to my ends and edges daily. ❤️

Coccooning! Thanks! I watch your videos I'm hopes you'll"okay" in it! Hair crush! 5 months into at least a year of non-stop mini twists. They're my favorite! Quite a while back you demonstrated a special way to detangle tiny sections by separating the sections in opposite (up vs down) directions (horrible recap.i know). That's probably the only reason why I've had success without losing patience and literally cutting sections of my hair. Thanks! Anytime you want to play in your hair on KZbin, feel free

How often do you wash your hair with exercising so often? I find that i wash twice a week due to the sweat from working out. Trying to wash less often but looking for alternative tips to clean my scalp after working out.

[@Zainab-bf6dy]

I think it’s the other way round. You would have to wash more to accommodate your lifestyle choices. And since there’s different shampoo strengths you might be able to switch it up sometimes

[@ServantStatusMinistries]

Do apple cider vinegar rinses after working out and certain oil cleanse the scalp and are anti inflammatory such as tea tree oils and/or rosemary oil and rub in the scalp. You can buy the rosemary oil in the cooking section but if you don’t have any just make some rosemary spritz with boiling rosemary seasoning in water there’s some KZbin videos on how to make it
