How i brought my hair back to life:

Growing up i’ve always been so insecure of my brown hair. I tried so many times to bleach it to get it blonde because i thought blonde hair was just so pretty but i always refused to realize this is the hair god wanted me to have. After years of trying to get my hair to the platinum blonde i wanted , and it always resulting in orange, i decided maybe it’s time to embrace my natural hair color and its structure. When i was bleaching my hair several times a week i noticed clumps of it coming out and my hair just got very fragile over time. ( all of these products can be found at walmart! ) #glowup #lemon8challenge

I use the tea tree oil on my scalp usually the morning i decide to wash my hair. ( i wash my hair at night so this gives the oil time to soak into my scalp ) If you prefer morning showers you can use the oil the night before or even mix it into your conditioner.

I love my hair skin and nails vitamins and these are definitely my go to. They improve hair growth and make my nails grow so long and sturdy.

After your hair has grown you can use dye to bring it back to your original hair color. ( you may have to redye it a few times even the permanent dye washes out )

but that is my hair journey 💕

2024/7/28 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, let's get real about what truly made a difference in my hair journey, especially when it came to growth and strength after all that bleaching disaster. While embracing my natural color and using tea tree oil for scalp health were crucial, the unsung heroes were definitely the Equate Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies. When I decided to stop fighting my natural hair, I knew I needed to heal it from the inside out. I was browsing Walmart (because who doesn't love a good, affordable find?) and came across these *hair, skin, and nails gummy vitamins*. I'd seen similar products before, but the price point for the Equate brand was so much more wallet-friendly. I figured, why not give them a shot? What did I have to lose at that point? I started taking them consistently, usually with my breakfast, just two gummies a day as recommended. For the first month or so, I didn't notice any dramatic changes, which is pretty normal for supplements. But I was committed. Around the two-month mark, I started seeing small differences. My nails, which used to be brittle and prone to breaking, felt noticeably stronger and were growing faster than ever. This was a huge win, as it gave me hope for my hair! Then, as I continued into months three, four, and beyond, that's when the magic really started happening for my hair. The new growth coming in felt thicker and healthier. I noticed less breakage when I brushed my hair, which was a massive relief after seeing clumps come out before. By the time seven months had passed (just like in my transformation picture!), my hair had not only grown significantly but also felt incredibly soft and resilient. It wasn't just the length; it was the quality of my hair that improved so much. These gummies, with their blend of biotin, vitamins, and antioxidants, truly felt like they were nourishing my hair follicles and strengthening each strand from within. What I loved most about them was how easy they were to incorporate into my routine. No swallowing huge pills, just a tasty, fruity gummy treat. It made consistency effortless. If you're struggling with damaged hair, slow growth, or brittle nails, and you're looking for an affordable, accessible solution, I genuinely recommend giving these Equate Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies a try. They were a game-changer for me, helping me achieve that healthy, vibrant hair I always dreamed of, without breaking the bank.
