Let’s talk hair!

Last year I was struggling so much with growing out my hair and it would constantly get dry at the ends. I would get my hair trimmed multiple times throughout the year but it did not help with growing out my hair. I tried lots of hair masks, vitamins and gummies, and a couple hair oils but NOTHING was working. One day I decided to give up and just live with what I had… which then my hair decided to grow… weird?

The only thing I can think of that worked was oiling my scalp with the Mielle Organics Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil. I only applied it to my scalp two-three times a month or two (whenever I had time). I would apply it before a shower and leave it on at most 10 minutes. One last thing is I never use heat unless it’s a special occasion.

What do you think made my hair grow? Manifestation? I heard when you want to manifest something you have to forget about it and then it will come to you.

Products I currently use:

Shampoo & Conditioner: Monday (Smoothing )

Oil: Mielle Organics Scalp & Hair strengthening

What I changed:

- Oiled my scalp/hair less

- Stopped taking vitamins and gummies

- less brushing right after a shower

- stopped using hair masks

Achieving healthy hair growth can often feel like a daunting challenge. Many people encounter difficulties due to various factors such as environmental stressors, improper hair care routines, and overuse of hair products. A substantial element of hair health is the overall wellness of the scalp, which plays a critical role in promoting growth. Using oils like Mielle Organics Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil helps nourish the scalp, providing essential nutrients that support hair follicles. Additionally, adjusting hair care routines can yield beneficial results. For instance, minimizing the frequency of heat styling and reducing the number of products used can prevent damage and dryness. Emphasizing a minimalistic approach to hair care not only promotes hair health but also saves time and resources. Moreover, it's essential to stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and consider the impact of stress management on hair health. Practices such as meditation, exercise, and adequate sleep are critical to overall well-being, indirectly influencing hair growth. People often report noticeable improvements when they allow their hair to rest from rigorous styling practices, highlighting the importance of patience and self-care in the hair growth process. Lastly, embracing the journey and maintaining realistic expectations can transform how one approaches hair care. By understanding the underlying factors affecting hair growth and adjusting routines accordingly, achieving long, healthy hair becomes an attainable goal.
