HAAAY!
I'm going to share my story and my ongoing journey with Hair growth =]

So to me this journey never ends! I've been trying to grow my hair long ever since 8th grade when i was 14 years of age. In 8th(2007) grade this asian lady cut my hair extremely short (boy short), I died a bit when I realized that my hair looked like a wannabe dark skin emo kids hair cut! :/ I've never had my hair that short! it was up to my jaw line but the good thing about back then was that my hair was not frizzy, it was not dyed, and it was healthy.
I KNOW hair grows! and I'm not trying to be a drama queen
but hair to me means a lot, and I HATE when people tell me
"omg you're hair will grow": in my mind i say "Bitch it will but
not as fast as i would like it to!" and in that matter my hair has
never really grown that fast or at a noticeable pace.
After that awful haircut my hair DID NOT grow! Literally my hair stayed that
short for a year until i cut it again!
( I believe that certain haircuts manage to affect our hair growth)
Any who long story short
- I dyed my hair in 2007
-It became dry, brittle, thicker (not good thick), frizzy, and unruly.
As many hair products i thought would work on my hair, it Failed! -__-
So i gave up and it did grow a bit
but in 2009
i cut my hair again, not as short as in 2007 but it had to many layers
that it made my hair look shorter than it really was.
I did research on hair growth and I think I tried most things.
I used a special oil for hair growth- it did not work. all it did was make my hair greasy and smelly!
then i decided to start taking Biotin pills which help promote hair growth, and nail growth.
I did not hesitate to buy it! I used it for 6 months and it helped BUT it made me break out really bad!!!!!!
LIKE REALLY BAD! so i stopped! lol
AND NOW:
I'm not as crazy about my hair growing but i just want my hair to grow longer
so i can get "my big trim" and chop off the "split ends"
I'm using 2 things
-Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin, and Nails vitamins
and
-Omega 3 fish oil vitamins.
I bought mine at Costco
Price: around $12
Promotes: Lustrous Hair, Strong Nails, Vibrant Skin
Idk what these pills are for but on August of 2010 I took them for 2 months
and my hair got much longer than it did with the Biotin pills. I stopped taking them because
i thought it was breaking me out, (it wasn't the case)
I heard on youtube that these pills can help with growing out your hair and also for much more but not related to this issue. lol
I know that people might think I'm crazy and obsessed about growing my hair
long, but IDGAF! I want to share my experience and journey with you and help out any gal or sir
or to whoever wants to get healthy long hair.
I am going to update my blog every 2 weeks :]
These are vitamins, they wont kill me. but if your a worry wore go check it out with your pharmacist.
(Experienced Facts:)
-Cutting your hair every 6 weeks is bullshit! You are basically cutting out the hair that
took you a month to grow. *All your doing is getting rid of spilt ends, which may be
good but not good to grow your hair out.
-Straightneing your hair too much will cause you to damage your hair.
After I had my haircut (2009) i did not straighten my hair at all
* If anything maybe once out of the 4 months
and my hair GREW so much! Well more than it did before.
I'm not saying don't straighten your hair, but defiantly decrease your use of heat products =]
P.S These pills do NOT make your armpit, leg, private part, hair grow faster LMAO!
P.P.S.S Next makeup look is going to be an inspired look of Britney Spears' make up in her music video: I'm a Slave 4 U =]
Might be up tomorrow =]
