Hair Care │ Growing My Hair

I think I've mentioned a few times in the past that I'm trying to grow my hair and even though I've been trying to do this for a while now I've never really actually tried very hard. I was bleaching the ends of my hair on and off and just generally using a lot of heat and dying it way more than I should.

So over the past month I took a look at what I was using on my hair and have re-thought a lot of the products and styling tools I was using. I'm planning on doing quite a few hair related posts as I work through my hair routine and things I do to care for my hair.
For today though I thought I’d share the specific products I'm using with the aim of promoting hair growth. I’m not sure I believe there’s a magic product to make hair grow but I do believe that the products you use can help give hair a healthy chance to maximise its growing potential.
In the shower Every week I use a mask for at least one hour and if I can I use it overnight to give maximum moisture to my hair. I also make sure that I put this mostly in the ends but also put a little in the roots as that is where your hair grows from. I have normal-dry hair so I can get away with this but it may not be a good idea if you have oily hair. I brought main’n’tail shampoo because I know it’s supposed to help hair growth and have seen some good reviews of it on-line so I thought I would give it a go and see if it helped. I decided to just get the shampoo though because I have enough conditioners already. If it works though I may get the conditioner next time.ProductsThe products I use are all pretty much to keep moisture in my hair and help with the fact that the ends of my hair are dry from past bleaching. 

VitaminsRecently I’ve been hearing a lot about Biotin and how it’s really good for your hair and I decided to give it a go. You can take up to 4 of these a day but I only take 2 because I know they can dry out your skin and cause breakouts so I want to start on a small dose and if I carry on taking them I may up the dose.  A lot of the products in this post are new things added to my routine so I do plan on reviewing them once I’ve had a chance to properly try them out.In addition to these products I have actually banned myself from using heat on my hair and dying my hair for 2 months (I’ve set alarms on my phone so I know when this is up). This is partly to help my hair be healthier but also to prove to myself I can do this.I’m going to try to keep this routine for those 2 months and then I will update you when the 2 months are over.Sorry this post has become a bit of a ramble but hey ho that’s just how it goes!
