Hello!
I am trying to desperatley to grow my hair out! About 2 months ago I went to a new hairdresser and she cut about 4 inches off my hair, after I asked for a TRIM, so now it is about 4 inches past my shoulders. I have been reading all the other posts and have seen that this has happened to so many of us! So naturally I was depressed, but mum kept on saying "it will grow". So I started on hair vitamins, ditched the hair dryer and haven`t had any highlights put in yet! Now my dilemna: At the moment my hair is extremely healthy, but looks ghastly (regrowth frizzball!). I`ve realised I can`t live without my hairdryer and hair high lights. Mainly because when I air dry my hair turns into a big frizz ball, and I have a rather pale complexion and very dark natural hair which makes me look washed out. So I need the added warmth of highlights. I know if I use my dryer and chemicals in my hair, it will become damaged again, which means I will need regular haircuts which will result in slower hair growth!!!! I can`t win! I look back at photos of myself with long STRAIGHT highlited hair and I want it sooo bad. So what can I do??? What are the suggestions? When I do blowdry I use a protection gel but is there more I can do to save my hair? What about if I use it once a week, will that damage my hair? Sorry this is waffling on but I don`t know what to do! I have regrowth of about 2 inches and its time for more highlights? ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
