posted in Hair on 11/27/2013

Growing ultra-long hair from a short cut can take years, and may involve some "in between" phases that are not very exciting for you. If you enjoy changing your cut, you may want to reconsider long hair (try extensions for a long style). If long hair is truly what you want, exercise patience!

Don't wash your hair every day, it will strip the natural oils. Wash every other day or every two days. Be sure to use both a shampoo and conditioner, and buy a shower cap for when you bathe and wash your skin. Give your hair some time to get used to this. If you find it looks greasy try dry shampoo

Do oil treatments one-three times weekly.You can use anything from olive oil to expensive salon treatments. Some easy natural oil treatments are on the next 2 pages.

Olive oil: Use one-four tbs. of olive oil and put it in your damp or dry hair (preferably damp but don’t dripping wet). Leave in between 15-45 minutes then rinse out being sure to shampoo twice and condition once.

Almond oil: Almond oil is the best natural hair oil remedy in most opinions. Put again one-four tbs. in your hair. Leave in for one day (the no wash day) and rinse out the next day. Repeat at least once weekly.

Brush your hair finely. This means you will need two-four brushes. A wide toothed brush, and close bristled brush, a wide toothed comb, and a rat tailed comb (not wide). Start brushing your hair in order of appearance above. Be sure to brush everyday in order at least twice.

Brush your underneath coat and top coat of hair. Brush starting at the bottom to remove all knotted, grab one piece of hair starting at the middle of your length and comb/brush downward. After removing all knots, start at the roots and move your way down to the ends to carry oil to your roots.

Massage your scalp one-three times daily. This will improve circulation around the follicles and increase blood flow that creates hair growth because the blood carries nutrients and vitamins.

Don’t trim too often. Many times you will need to cut your hair ends every 6-8 weeks to get rid of your split ends. At minimum, you should be cutting 1/2 and inch off your hair (your split ends) every 3-4 months.
