In June of 2010, I cut my hair down to 3 inches, seriously! I was tired of going to salons. I have cut my hair many times but this is the shortest that I have cut it.
I cut my hair once in between June 2010 to May of 2011, perhaps I cut it between 1-2 inches during that time period.
Currently my hair when straight is down to my shoulders. Ironically I now have chemicals in my hair, I dyed my hair a blondish red, I actually don't really know the color. I've done a Brazilian keratin hair straightening process before, (I DO NOT RECOMMEND!).
My hair always grows really fast, It seems that my hair grows faster than the .5 inches per month that many hair stylist state. I am now on a No cutting my hair rule since I think I look better with my hair long.
I wish I would have chronicled my hair growth but I really thought nothing of my hair until my classmates and co-workers were commenting on my fast hair growth.
1. I wash my hair either every day or every other day. I really Do!! I think it is a myth that black woman shouldn't wash their hair every day or other day. I do not always use a shampoo everyday sometimes I put conditioner on my hair and wash it out. I like Creme of Nature Shampoo, Herbal Essence, and Organix Shampoo.
2. Always use a great Conditioner! Not all conditioners are created equal. Some conditioners actually make my hair dry! Again I love Creme of Nature Conditioner, Herbal Essence, and Organix conditioner.
3. I let my hair air dry. In the past, I used a blow dryer and straighten my hair often, this damaged my hair incredibly, so I stopped using it. I now allow my hair to air dry and leave it curly. Before I leave my apartment I wash my hair at least one hour before. If I straighten my hair, I comb it straight first, part it in sections and then blow dry it. I do not straighten my hair often.
With relaxer, When I had one years ago, I washed my hair once a week, used a leave in conditioner, blow dry my hair, and in between washes I used IC PM Care at night.
4. You do not need "Grease." That is a myth. I do not use grease. The only oil that I use is Olive oil, coconut oil, or Shea Butter oil, on my scalp when my hair is braided into extensions.
Trust me, Try it for at least one month.
From this point onward I will chronicle my hair growth. Good Luck on healthy hair journey! <3
