Great Lengths

Oh, how far I go to get my hair to grow faster.
I cut my hair relatively short last July, and swiftly regretted it. About 3 years ago I had realllyyy long hair, not intentionally but because I was lazy and didn't feel like going to get it cut. That was also the year I discovered the hair straightener. Ah what a bittersweet memory. While yes it did give me beautifully silky hair, I also wrecked it beyond belief. But by the time I had my sister cut off "The Stump", it was just disgusting.

Since then I've been keeping it no longer than shoulder length.
But this most recent cut, I want it to be long and flowy again! So I started a Mega Hair Growth Routine.
1. The Hair Vitamins. The first thing I bought was "Hair Skin and Nail" vitamins after a YouTube video suggested them. The ones I take, the Target generic brand, are like horsepills, but I will do anything for my hair to be healthy, even choke those suckers down.
2. Giving myself a weekly 20 minute scalp massage. I look like an idiot, but hey, it works, kinda
3. Using Baby Shampoo. Weird, but it works for me! It must be really gentle on my hair. I'm not sure. I'm in no way a professional!

And some other stuff, usually just the basics, you know, eating right blah blah.

Since July, six moths ago, my hair has grown six inches! I did dye my hair about 2 weeks ago, so I've been treating it extra well!!!

  2. i once heard horse vitamins (as in vitamins that people give to horses!) help hair growth.
    not so sure how much truth is in that though!

    too scared to try!
