Short Stop needs hair help

by Marissa
(Columbiana OH, USA)

This is the longest my hair has ever been. Please help me change that!

This is the longest my hair has ever been. Please help me change that!

My hair has always been slow to grow, no matter how many treatments and hair care products I've invested in. With the weather playing games with my hair it's almost impossible to maintain a decent style. For years now I've longed for a longer, shinier, healthier mane. I'd like to try human hair extensions, but I unfortunately dont have the money to cover it.

Synthetic hair was an option, but after taking into consideration that I have never had "long" hair and I was unsure what style would suit me best, human hair seemed the best choice. This way I can play around with a sleek updo, lively curls or beachy waves.

I've exhausted too many years wishing for longer hair. I hope this will give me a chance to change that. :]

Thanks so much for your time,
-Marissa

Thank you for your question.
The best way to achieve longer, healthier, beautiful hair (without extensions) is to give it time. You seem to be doing the right things. If you are healthy your hair will be too.
Continue using your salon grade products for hair type.
Don't forget to get your hair trimmed, when you're growing it out I recommend getting it trimmed every 8-16 weeks. The trim will help the bottom of your hair from splitting even more. When you have split ends as the hair grows it will continue to split even further. So it is important not to miss a haircut. However like I said you can stretch it out further.. 8-16 weeks, not 4-6!
Also, don't waste your money on products that claim to grow your hair.. they don't work. I only know of one that works without a prescription and that's Nioxin. Nioxin can be found in our hair store - http://www.the411onhair.com/hair-store.html It will be under the products for Hair Loss category.

If you are interested in any of those products let me know and I can help you find the right one suited to your hair type.
Thanks

Extensions
by: Heidi (Mynx)

Have you ever considered extensions?
If not, I have great success using ethnic oil (for African American hair). After shampoo and condition, I put a couple drops into my hands and rub to warm and then distribute in towel dried hair. Comb. Let dry naturally or cool blow dry. I firmly believe that the oil helps strengthen my hair. Just cut my bum length hair to shoulders-it was just too long for me.
Good luck!
