My hair journey update

Hey beautiful people

So, I just thought I'd give you an update on my hair journey and the new products I have been  using. When I first began my hair journey I wasn't really trying to grow long hair hence I was not using anything for hair growth. I was focusing on growing healthy hair. However now I'm actually trying to grow it after I saw how long and beautiful Black Chyna's hair is. So basically Chyna's hair = my hair goals

see how gorgeous her hair is

😍

yeah, so she inspired me to try grow my hair and see how long it will get. This was my hair begining of March 2016 just before I started using oils that promote hair growth.

What have i been doing to grow my hair.

• Protective styling : I've been weaving my hair and getting box braids since then. Whenever I loosen my hair I wash it then do some form of plat just so that my hair is protectected and to stop me from over combing or brushing. Oh and when ever I weave my hair I leave my hair line out so i can contiuously treat it with my doctor Miracles temple and nape balm. I use it as an edge control too so 1 guess its a 2in1. Doctor Miracles also has a hot gro which i heard works wonders I havent personally tried it out but I have heard good reviews on it.You can get these products at Clicks or Dischem. If you are looking for something to use on your whole head I would suggest the Hot Gro.

• Amla oil: this is the extract from gooseberries its made in India (Im sure we all know how gorgeous Indian hair is) Indians have been using this for centuries.Ive been using it to oil my scalp every other day for the for the 6 weeks I have had braids. Im happy with the results Ive seen so far. You can use it as is or u can mix it with coconut oil and use it to oil your scalp. This mixture is also great for dandruff. I got this in Dischem but im sure you can find it in any Indian Beauty supply shop.
  

• Caivil Fusion Oil: I'll be using this to base my scalp when I have weaves. It's a mixture of black castor oil and argan oil. You can get this in Clicks.
  
• Scalp massages: I've been giving myself scalp massages after oiling my scalp with the Amla oil. This promotes blood circulation. So if u have specific areas you are targeting for hair growth massaging those areas will help stimulate hair growth. Water is basically good for everything hair, skin etc.
• Air dying: This is a good way to avoid using heat. After washing my hair I just dry it with a towel and let the air take care of the rest
• Essential oils: Im also learning about mixing essential oils tea tree, fenugreek, rosemary etc. I have not really started using these yet but as soon as I do I will do a post focusing on hair growing oils for you guys.

This my hair now 

from now on I'll be taking pictures of the lenght of my hair from behind with a bra on to make it easier to track the growth and I'll be using this chart to help me tack the growth.

I hope this helps you out if you are trying to grow your hair. Feel free to comment, make suggetions or ask questions in the comment section below or dm me on twitter, FB or IG.

XOX & Take good care of that hair
