Make That Hair Grow

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you'll be familiar with my neverending quest to make my hair grow. If not, long story short, I wrecked my hair with dye and had to have the lot lopped off (try saying that three times quickly). Since then, if a product even whispers of hair growth, I have to buy it.

So naturally of course, I've been working my way through the Lee Stafford line aimed at nourishing your hair into the best condition for optimum growth - that's important, remember that, this will not make your hair grow, but it will give your hair the nutrition it needs to be in the best condition possible for growing.

And of course, the pink packaging swayed my decision too.

If you are familiar with any products from this line, chances are it's this product. Treatment for Hair That Never Grows Past a Certain Length (award for longest product name ever), did it's rounds in the blogosphere a while back, and in essence is a hair mask aimed at piling nourishment into your hair for growth. Smells good, leaves hair silky smooth, and yes, my hair does grow quicker when I use this. I've been repurchasing this consistently for the past year (I even have a spare in the bottom drawer of my desk, I'm that paranoid about running out), and it's definitely my favourite product from the line. It's pricey yes, around the £10 mark, but I use this once a week and it lasts me roughly two months. For me, it's worth every penny.

Since I loved the hair mask so much, I decided on a whim to pick up the Hair Growth Conditioner too a few months back, to give my hair an extra boost during the week when I wasn't using the mask. Unfortunately, this turned out to be the one product from the line that I really didn't get on with. Firstly, I don't like the packaging, the tube is made of plastic so rigid, it's almost impossible to squeeze the product out. Factor in wet hands, and a blast of water coming from the shower and you're looking at trouble. I found that when I finally got it out of the bottle, it would squirt off in any direction except that of my hand, coating the walls of the showers. Money, quite literally, down the drain. Packaging issues aside, I didn't like the actual product either. For thick hair like mine, the product inside is far too runny to do anything, this stuff doesn't even counteract the tangled mess left by shampoo. The least I expect out of my conditioner is for it to detangle my wet hair so I can run my fingers through it, but this doesn't even do that. If you have really fine hair, this might work for you, but after using this my hair just feels like I haven't conditioned it at all.

Before I started using this Split Ends Serum, I was literally using serum just to detangle my hair, so anything that did that was great, anything else was just a bonus. The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that this isn't from the Hair Growth Line, but rather the Breaking Hair Line. I'm not sure if Lee Stafford actually do a serum in that line, but when I bought this, this was the only one. Either way, there's no point in having hair that's growing if it's riddled with split ends, and this has definitely helped with those. I just run this through the lengths (ha!) of my hair, concentrating it on the ends, once I'm out of the shower.

And lastly the Hair Growth Leave in Treatment. I quite like this and I'm now about halfway through the bottle. I mist this through my hair after applying serum & before blow drying after every shower, but if I know I'm having a shower in the morning, I like to spray a ton of this all over my hair, concentrating on the roots, before bed and then wash it out in the morning. Makes my hair silky soft!
