This is the post we all look for some time in our lives. One day you get very fed up with your hair, you ‘want a change’ and cut it short and love it. However, two days later your bored of it again and want your beautiful long her back. I think short hair is gorgeous and if you can pull it off I am very jealous. I had my hair cut shorter a long time ago because I wanted it healthier but decided it was not for me. I made it my personal mission to grow my hair back long but healthy.
The healthier you are as a person; the more hair growth will be stimulated. Make sure your drinking your recommended daily intake of water, eating lots of healthy food and doing regular exercise.
Heat is bad for your hair and although it doesn’t delay growth, it will stop your hair looking as full and healthy. Heat causes frizz and split ends but to take heat out of your haircare routine completely would be a nightmare. I cut down on heat by either letting my hair air dry or at least half air dry to prevent damage from using a hairdryer and limit my use of straighteners. I think this is the hardest thing to do but by far the most effective way of keeping your hair strong and healthy giving the illusion of longer hair! If you can leave your hair its natural colour without dye, this will also aid hair growth and keep your hair feeling healthy.
For six months I used the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment on my hair every time I washed it. I could not confirm a direct link with this product and hair growth, but the condition of my hair dramatically improved for certain and the treatment made my hair much stronger. The smell of the product is not amazing, but it made my hair feel super soft and healthy. I would also advice using an antidandruff shampoo when washing your hair, even if you do not have dandruff these shampoos are specifically made to protect the scalp and a healthy scalp promotes healthy hair growth.
Another way of keeping my hair and scalp healthy is using coconut oil. I will melt coconut oil and then massage the warm oil into my scalp and then rub it over my hair as a mask. Massaging the warm oil into your scalp can stimulate the hair follicles and promote hair growth. I usually do it at night and wash it off in the morning as this is the way I find most effective.
I’m so glad I saw this because I’ve been considering buying from that range of Lee Stafford products but I didn’t know if it was worth it! Definitely giving it a try now!
I remember when I was a bit younger I decided to cut my hair to about shoulder length after having it past my belly button and it was such a change! I did like it back then but now I’ve grown it out again, I don’t think I would get it cut short again haha. Great tips though! I haven’t used coconut oil before, will have to give that a try!
Makes your hair feel insane! Super drug have a coconut mask in a little packet that makes your hair feel amazing! X
I’ve been growing my hair out from a Pixie cut. It was a horrible growing out stage, but it’s now down to the middle of my back. I’ve been looking for ways to help it keep looking healthy and not like a fried rat’s nest surrounding my head. Thank you for sharing!
I must have come to this post so happy about the title I meant to follow and forgot!🙃 Great tips!! How’s your hair now?? I wear extensions but need growth in my own. xoxo 😚
Loosing a loved one is such a difficult thing to deal with. When Lydia approached me about creating floral arrangements for her mothers memorial service I couldn’t help but excitedly say yes. Lydia had explained to me that her mother was an avid gardener, quilter, crafter, collector, and absolutely loved flowers. I was excited to create floral arrangements in honor of someone who shared so many favorited hobbies as myself. Lydia brought me an amazing selection of ceramic Colonial crocks her mother had collected, a few baskets that her mother hand-wove herself, and vases that her mother had displayed during the holidays at her home each and every year. She gave me a few colors that her mother often decorated with and listed a few of her favorite flowers; hydrangea, roses, zinnias in shades of yellows and blues mixed with holiday greenery. I filled each of these family heirlooms with fresh blooms and kept with the Colonial-style of the vessels by incorporating fresh fruit in each arrangement. Cranberries, oranges pierced with dried cloves, and sliced lemons added a vibrancy to each arrangement. The memorial service took place at Peaky’s Restaurant looking over the Atlantic Ocean to the East and the stunning bay to the west. Dozens of individuals showed up to share their memories of Regina Esham with her family and friends. Lydia and her brother placed special collectables belonging to their mother on each table. Table centerpieces featured glass pitchers, ceramic crocks, tiny porcelain tea cups, quilts, and baskets. It was such a nice way to incorporate their mother’s spirit into the ceremony. Thank you, Lydia, for asking me to be a part of your mother’s service. It was a pleasure working with you and meeting your family. Each of your family members that I interacted with were so nice. It really made my day to hear you and your family say that your mother would have loved these arrangements. I am sure that you have made her proud and she is thanking you from up above. Your mother will always be remember for her infinite love and creativity. Xoxo - Ami
It was a pleasure working with you Ami, you captured my mom’s memory in so many ways. Our family thanks you, Lydia
