How to get longer and healthier hair

 HOW TO GET LONGER AND HEALTHIER HAIR?      READ BELOW ;)





So i'm in my car,on a road trip ,listening to music so i thougt might as well write a blog
Basically ,since i have been trying to get my hair longer and healthier for quite some time now (almost 2 years) i have learned a bunch of helpful tips and tricks that i want to share with you guys.
I don't have a list of them or anything like that so i'm just going to write them randomly.

• Change the way you brush your hair.Don't brush it just to get it done,because that way you are calling split ends.Instead,start from the bottom ,with a good brush ,that's not going to cause even more damage, slowly and gently,i repeat gently,work your way up.And yes,first few times you will find it really boring,but trust me,later you will be glad you did it.
• Don't trim your ends at hair stylist too often ,because most likely ,they won't do what you want them to do.Yes,get your hair cut by them one or two times a year,just to retain shape and layers if you have any,but instead try searching on internet how to trim your own ends.
• If you alredy have split ends to start with,trim your hair every two-three months,and remember to trim off JUST WHAT YOU REALLY,REALLY HAVE TO .If you don't have split ends to start of,trim your hair just when needed.Also while doing this make sure you keep in mind that hair grows half an inch a month,so if you trim it every two months make sure that you don't cut off more that half an inch ,or your hair will stay same lenght forever.
• Change the way you wash your hair.Yea,i know that hair gets gross and dirty really fast and that you just want to lather it in a bunch of shampoo every two days ,but no.Instead slowly train your hair to get used to being washed max 2 times a week.I wash it every 5 days.Monday,friday,wensday,sunday and repeat.Also ,when washing your hair,don't lather your hair in shampoo from root to tip,just lather roots,ends will get washed anyways.I know it sounds crazy,but it works,trust me.
• Don't use silicone based products,no matter how much you love them.Yes ,they do make your hair all silky and smooth,probably split end free,but in reallity ,only thing they do ,is build up on your hair,and after a while can even cause your hair to break of,and if you use them ,make sure you deep clean your hair ,at least once in every two weeks,using something like acv rinse,which i will have a separate blog post.
• Stop with the bleach.If you bleach your hair,stop if you can ,if not ,at least do it less often and stay away from your scalp.Bleach is a strong chemical ,so if you use it,make sure you stay away from your scalp,because it can harm it and weaken your hair in general.
• make sure you use the right products ,and use them the right way ,otherwise they will just be a waste of money and will do more harm than good.
• If your hair has alot of split ends ,consider getting it layered.This way you will get rid of alot of split ends but will keep some of your lenght.
• Drink alot of water.Yea ,i know,i don't do it either .But at least try,as i like to call it the detoxify week,i basically have one week in month when i drink only water.This way you will cleanse your skin.including scalp and stimulate hair growth.If you alredy drink alot of water,good for you because that is one of the best things that can be done to stimulate longer ,healthier hair.
• Stop with the heat,natural is beautiful.Think of your hair texture like this.People who have curly hair,straighten it to get it straight,and people who have straight hair curl it.So just rock what you have and be proud of it.if you have something in between ,don't be sad.Be prod of it,because that's just another thing that's making you unique.
• Invest in a good oil.It doesn't have to be hair oil,but just do some research of benefits certain oils have,and use one of them.Your hair will thank you.
• Use less styling products like hair gel,hairspray etc.
• Use heat protectant even when blowdrying your hair.
• When blowdrying ,dry your roots first using hottest heat setting,then use medium for the rest of your hair,bube e careful,using way too cold air on your hair can be just as damaging as using too hot air.
• Invest in a good blowdryer ,that has at least three heat settings.
• Don't play around with your hair too much as that will weaken it.
• Braids and buns are also a thing that can be either really good or really bad.If you braid ,tie and bun your hair really gently and carefully,it will be really beneficial as that will protect it and keep it tangle free,but if you do it too harsh and strong,no matter how beautiful that tight braid looks,it will just weaken it.
• If you have any scalp problems,make sure to cure that first as much as possible ,and then start your healthy hair journey.
• There are a bunch of other tips that i can't think of right now,so there will probably another one post like this soon.
• And most important,remember to be patient because healthy,beautiful long hair doesn't happen over night,even though it would be hella cool if it did lol
• ps.i'm writing this in my car so there is a bunch of typos,but i can't re -read this AND CHECK THAT BECAUSE THAT WAY I WOULD GET A HEADACHE SO ...
