How To Grow Waist Length Relaxed Hair-Black Hair 101

***Original post by Brenda Barrett  of Black Hair 101*** This was a phrase that I would search for in my early days of researching about hair because I so wanted to grow my hair to lengths that I never had. I picked up some very important tips and tricks along the way that I want to share with you. When beginning your long hair journey, remember these step-by-step instructions. Please note that everybody’s hair differs. Some of these steps may seem strange at first, but they will be beneficial in the long run. Cut your hair .  Cut my hair? Yes, cut it. Whether your hair is natural or relaxed if you have split raggedy ends, you need to give your hair a nice trim before you start out. If it is uneven and ragged or some strands are longer than others just cut it. Split ends can never be repaired, they just keep on splitting up to the hair root. Just cut them off. Hair grows an average six inches per year, you will get back some of it this year if you treat your hair right.

Monistat Challenge-Growth pictures!

Just a quick length check! I have been using my monistat mix for a little over 1 week and I have definitely seen growth! I have also been taking Biotin pills to also promote hair growth. I know my hair looks ratchet!! Lol but this is just a pic of my new growth. The pic to the left was taken about 5 days into the treatment. The right pic was after a week. My new growth is soo thick, you can barley see my scalp through my part! I am holding out for a relaxer because I had one not to long ago. After a week, my hair falls below my first line, when I first began the challenge. My left side showed alot of growth! ^^^My hair on the side now reaches the first line! In the pics above, you can see the line where my hair fell just a week before I took them. It may be slight growth, but it's growth! A (bad) pic of what my hair in the back looks like! I'll be sure to turn AROUND the shirt to show the lines next time lol

Hair journey update: Egg/Mayo hair treatment!

I have started my protein regimen! My hair was super dry....especially my ends. I started doing some research.I then learned that hair needs protein to strengthen it. I had heard about putting eggs in your hair but thought it sounded crazy but it truly works!!   Hair Journal App   What I did was mixed 2 eggs and mayonnaise together with a fork. I used a perm brush to get the mixture close to my roots. I used my hands to put the rest in, mainly focusing on my ends. I then out a shower cap on and let it sit on for 30 mins.  Egg & Mayo Mixture, wide tooth comb, shower cap, perm brush!   This stuff works wonders when blow drying and flat ironing!

Started my journey for healthier, longer hair!

Ok guys I'm tired of my hair hovering around the same length! For years my hair has been the same length!! I'm going on a journey to mid back length hair by my birthday next year! I will be using MN to help my accomplish my mission! If you don't know what MN is, google "MN for hair growth"!! I downloaded this app called "hair journal" to help me keep track. This is my entry for today. I measured my hair....currently 12 inches on the sides and 7 inches in the front and back It says cm but it's inches lol I will be posting more pics and info of my journey periodically!
