Oh, growing your hair. The most exhausting and time consuming beauty routine. Couple of years ago I cut my hair really short and grow it from the length of only couple inches to the length I have today. It takes time but can be done. I follow these steps and for me they work every time I'm growing the hair.
1) Eat healthy, the more proteins you eat the longer will your hair be. I know, I know eating healthy seems to be solution for everything these days but it does work in most of the cases!
2) Cut your hair often, it's not only an old wives's tale, cutting couple inches of your hair every six months will help it grow more.
3) Don't comb your hair while it's wet! This is crucial, what I do is brush my hair before I wash it then I wait until it's damp and brush it again. Brushing it while it's wet will only break it.
4) Don't wash the hair every day. Wash it every other day, or every third if you can. Your hair needs its natural oils and it's not good to wash them all out.
5) Get rid of the silicones from time to time. Most of the hair products contain silicones that make your hair look good. Over the time silicones build up and you need to remove them or the products you are applying won't work anymore. Use silicone free shampoo to wash your hair, I do it once or twice a month. How to know if your shampoo contains silicone? Most of the shampoos do, it's marked dimeticone or dimethiconol (or any other word ending with cone) in the ingredients list. The best ingredient for removing silicone is cocamidopropyl betaine (marked on the packaging as coco-betaine) so look for shampoos that have it in the ingredients list.
