I read online to microwave some olive oil and put in your hair roots to tip. It said to stay upside down for 4 minutes and leave it in for 2 hours. I feel like this wouldn't work because you can't speed up hair growth, right?
Answer
So your having hair trouble? First of all, I would guess that about 60% of what your hair is like is just flat out genetics and theres not a ton you can do to change that, but the other 40% is how you take care of your hair and the products that you are using and thats the part I'm going to talk about.
So, first of all: Some just general, basic hair care tips:
#1 - Drink Lots of water
#2 - Eat Fruits & Vegetables (Because what your putting in your body is whats growing out, helping that hair grow out healthy & strong)
#3 - Take a good multi-vitamin (Its what makes hair healthy and shiny)
#4 - Regular hair trims (Even if your trying to grow your hair out, make sure that you are still doing regular trims just to keep your ends from splitting and getting brittle & dry and dying)
#5 - Don't Overwash Hair (every time you wash your hair your stripping all natural oils off of your hair and then your body '"thinks" your hair is dry do it builds back up that oil so your hair gets more and more oily. So if you wash it every day your hair is just getting really oily) Its VERY important that you wash your hair every 3 or 4 days just depending on your hair type. That way your hair is staying nice and refreshed. People always ask how I go 3 or 4 days without washing; its just because my hair is used to it. When you first start doing this your hair is going to be oily and you'll probably hate me but after a month you'll love me because then your hair is gonna look great!
#5 - Don't use too much heat {use a good heat protectant when you do...} I recommend the Got 2b heat protectant. No heat is better though.
Now, to move onto my personal beauty regiment:
Shampoo = I dont believe expensive products are necessary to your hair. I tend to switch and swap and buy whatever I can find on sale. Right now, Im really enjoying the Suave Professionals Anti Dandruff. Even if you don't have dandruff it hydrates your scalp and I really like the foaminess. It smells good as well.
If you are a person who has tried all your generic store bought products and hates all of them I suggest something like BedHead. Its like a professional hair care line and I do like their shampoos and conditioners.
If your somebody who likes more of your organic products that has less of alcohols and stuff in them I do like the Organics stuff. I like the Tea Tree mint one in particular. It smells so good. My other sisters use it and its fantastic.
Any of those three you can mix it up and try to find what works with your hair
I'm less picky about my shampoo and conditioner and more picky about the products I do other than them. One of them would be my coconut oil. Make sure when your buying coconut oil, you buy pure, raw coconut oil. Thats the best stuff. You can buy this in most local grocery stores by the cooking oils. It comes in a hard, gooey paste. What I do is put it in between my palms and rub it around. It will start to melt from the heat of your body. Then I run it through my hair. I do this in my shower when my hair has been steamed by the hot water and the cuticles are nice and open. I let this sit on my hair for about 20 minutes then I just wash it off as I would normally wash my hair. Sometimes you might have to wash it twice to get some of the residue off the tops of your hair. But this is going to soak down into those cuticles and really moisturize your hair. Great, great product for ANY type of hair. On my hair I do this maybe once every two months, not very often. Just once in a while when i I need a deep, deep condition.
My next favorite product is probably my oils. I use two; pequi oil and argon oil. You might be familiar with argon oil, its usually called Moroccan oil. Its made from the nut of a tree in Morocco and the pequi oil is made from the nut of a tree in Brazil. They are very similar, they are made chemically very similar to each other. The argon oil is a little lighter. I think the pequi oil is great for dry, oily, frizzy, really thick hair and the argon oil is good for your thinner, straighter hair.
I love them both, I use them both. I put it on my hair after I am out of the shower immediately so my hair is still wet. Ill put one drop in between my palms, rub it then massage it into the nape of my neck down cause its an oil and you dont want it up in your roots. It keeps my ends healthy, and reduces fry from my heat. Just so you know, I believe these oils run from maybe 20-30$ a piece but they last forever. Ive had a bottle for maybe 6 months and its about an eighth gone cause i use so little of it.
When my hair is still wet, I put in a mousse (some people put in root boost). This is just to help the roots of my hair (when im blowdrying it) fluff up and be nice. I really like the Suave volumizing mousse. My sister really likes the Tre Semme volumizing mousse as well. So take your pick. The Tre Semme has kind of a natural heat protectant in it which is kind of nice because then when your blow drying its also protecting your hair. I love both of these. Just take a little in your palms and run it through the roots of your hair then blow dry it like you normally would. That just helps get fullness on top. Then I will just style my hair like i normally would and when im done styling I like to sometimes take a drop of my oil again and apply it the same way just to protect my hair again.
I LOVE my dry shampoo.The saving product for when your going 2 or 3 days without washing your hair is Suave dry shampoo. You just take it {it spritzes like a really super fine baby powder in your hair. It absorbs any oil in your roots, so it helps your hair stay really refreshed and rejuvenated so you can go those two or three days without washing your hair.
Whew, This is all the stuff I use and how I use it so I hope this info is helpful to you. If this is worthy of a "Best Answer" you can always link me to another one of your beauty questions and ill respond as soon as I can.
Good luck!
