It's been a rough road for me and my hair. Teenage stupidity led to me dying my hair every colour under the sun whilst I was at college,
big
mistake, and I ended up with hair so dead it snapped off in clumps if I touched it. Not a good luck. One horrendous pixie cut, about seven sets of hair extensions, copious hair growth masks and a year and half later, and I'm kinda happy with my hair.
Now, I'll be honest, my hair is still WAY shorter than I like it, but it's miles better than the boy crop I was sporting back in January last year. I won't be happy until my hair is trailing around my underboob region but this is progress people.
I've kinda settled into a routine with my hair that is working for me. I'm a reverse hair washer, when I jump in the shower I coat my hair in a super hydrating conditioner, leave it for a few minutes, and after I've rinsed that out I use a super clarifying shampoo to get any residue out of my roots. I've been doing this for over a year now and it makes my hair last longer between washes (
I'm lazy so this is good)
, which supposedly makes your hair grow faster? I'm trying everything here. This works super well for me anyway!
I don't blow dry my hair anymore, unless it's a special occasion, to save my hair the heat, I just wash my hair in the evening and then let it dry whilst I sleep. For the most part, I'll then keep my hair natural, but drop a few extra waves in with my

, brush it out with my fingers and then spritz it with a hairspray. It's easy, it looks very beachy and undone, but I quite like it. Every now and then I'll straighten my hair using my
GHD's
,
and a ton of heat protector. I don't like to do this too often, but every now and then I'll get the urge. I like to stick my hair in a giant pineapple on the top of my head immediately after straightening while it cools, and after a few minutes I'll take it down and it's got a bit of volume to it!
I'm still desperately trying to grow my hair, but I don't hate it as much any more!
Do you have any tips on growing your hair? Or have you had any hair disasters?
