The key to growing long hair is moisturization and damage protection. You can gain precious inches by not using a fine toothed comb or brush but using mostly a wide-toothed comb (brushes and fine-toothed combs tend to take a lot of hair out of your head). Also, shampooing less frequently, diluting your shampoo, or conditioner washing your hair will leave your hair more moisturized and regular deep conditioning treatments will help preserve hair elasticity and prevent breakage. By doing these things my hair has grown about three to four inches in about 5 months. This should work for you as well. ------------- "And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair"--Kahlil Gibran http://public.fotki.com/ccmuffingirl/ |
