Learn how to lengthen and strengthen your hair with these 3 easy steps!
Throw Out the Crappy Products
Sorry big brands, but it’s time to go. Ever noticed how your hair looks fresh and new whenever you switch shampoos and conditioners? That’s because our hair gets used to the products we use on a daily basis, and switching up the routine gives our hair the chance to breathe.
Not only this, but the name brand shampoos and conditioners that promise moisture and so-so-strong hair are not all that great for your hair. Filled with harsh cleansers and chemicals, big name hair products often have a reverse effect on hair. The more you use it, the less your hair will be long and strong.
To get longer hair, invest in genuinely natural products and use them less frequently (i.e. not everyday).
Air Dry Hair + Avoid Heat
Brittle, damaged hair often is the result of overwashing plus overdrying, overheating and over straightening, and the list goes on and on. If you really want to achieve your dream of having lush long hair, it begins by treating your hair with care.
This means cutting out the hair dryer and not using styling tools that require heat. Too often do people wash their hair everyday before blow drying and styling, and then they wonder why their hair is so brittle. When you cut out heat, your hair becomes fuller, thicker, longer, and hydrated!
To achieve this, start by searching for alternative styling options. You might braid your hair at night after letting air dry so you’ll have bouncy waves for work in the morning. You could towel dry and use a bamboo comb to help it dry straight. Whatever you choose, remember that avoiding heat is key to getting lush long hair.
Nourish Your Hair with Natural Oils
Finally, if you truly want lush long hair, you must know how to care for your hair using natural oils. While there are several natural (and organic) oils and recipes available that are great to use on your hair, pure cold-pressed castor oil is the oil you should use to get lush long hair.
Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid which contains an ultra combination of healthy omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, in addition to antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It coats each hair follicle and strand in a rich, thick oil that penetrates deep down to nourish from roots to tips where breakage is most visible. Users of castor oil praise the oil for its remarkable hair lengthening and strengthening abilities.
Using it as a nourishing hair mask 2-3 times a week will benefit your hair greatly by first replenishing it and then protecting it from further damage.
There’s no secret to getting lush long hair (even if there was, the answers are all right here!) You simply need to follow these 3 easy steps and your hair will be lush and long before you know it. Try it for yourself and compare your hair before and after! Make sure to give your hair the patience and care it deserves.
