Thought I would share a quick update on the hair-growing-out mission and see how my fellow 'growers' are faring. If you have any new tips or ideas, please share in the comments! :o) Loooooved your last comments ... great input and ideas! Thanks. xoxoxo.
My finds:
- The big awesome jar of organic coconut oil I purchased was totally worth every last penny. I routinely nourish my ends with it and at least once a week, I slather it all over my hair and scalp and use it as a night mask for my hair. The next morning, I wash it out with a clarifying shampoo and it leaves my hair feeling so incredibly soft. I'm not positive if it's expedited the growing process but I really do think it has. Even if it hasn't, I think it definitely keeps my hair incredibly nourished + happy. Oh, and a bonus? Coconut oil is also awesome for your skin! Try it in the shower.
- I know alot of you recommended taking prenatal vitamins but the whole concept freaked me out a teensy bit. Plus, I heard that prenatals make horse pills look like specks of sand. Since I have issues swallowing regular old Advil, I opted for some old-school Flintstones multivitamin gummies. They're so delicious I always want to eat more than two! ;o) I'm not sure if they're helping with the hair-growing but they couldn't hurt, right?
- I was also in Luxembourg City yesterday, shopping for groceries {LC has the closest French grocery so we go to stock up on soaps and fab fresh produce and seafood} ... and I picked up a bottle of avocado oil. I'm planning on using it like the coconut oil but haven't tried it yet {and I figure if all else fails, it should be pretty tasty with the salmon we picked up! Any tips on using avocado oil?
Several of you mentioned using Moroccan oil ... where do you find it???

What coconut oil did you use?
ReplyDeleteJenn: I just went to the baking section of my local grocery and picked it up. Make sure it says organic. You don't want to put anything processed in your hair. If you warm it between your hands, it works great to apply to your hair. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep from making a mess overnight? Do you use a shower cap and towel on your pillow?
ReplyDeleteEmilia Jane: Yep, exactly. I usually just use a towel b/c I hate how shower caps feel but either one will do the trick.
ReplyDeletePlastic wrap works pretty well too, as far as wrapping your head overnight. It's also good occasionally under a bonnet dryer (Gold N Hot sells a dryer attachment like that for like $10 on Amazon). You can find Moroccanoil on Amazon really easily as well.
ReplyDeletei bought moroccan oil at my salon (the oil treatment), but as Caroline mentioned, you can find it on amazon

ReplyDeletehave you tried biotin vitamins? they're the same size as tylenol and they work wonders. i started out at 1 1000mcg tablet per day and went up to 2. so far, the growth is definitely at a noticably fast speed!
