Ever since I can remember, I have always dreamed of having long, luscious hair. Unfortunately
for me, when I was little my hair used to fall out a lot so my mom always had
to cut it very short.
After
that, when I was in high-school I began to dye it; in one short year I had gone
from natural chestnut to fiery red and then to blonde; after 6 months of being
a blonde I reverted back to red. On top of the monthly dyeing treatment, I didn't like my wavy hair so I regularly straightened it. In 2010 my hair was so frail
and damaged that I had to cut half of it, in the hopes of making it healthier.
3
years have passed since then and as you can see from the picture, my hair has
grown quite a bit. I feel very happy every day because this is the longest my
hair has ever been. And aside from being quite long, now I can finally say that
it is healthy as well.
The
tricks I used in these 3 years?
- I stopped dyeing it
- I started washing my hair only once a week (I
know this may seem gross for some but believe me, it is not. My hair is not
greasy at all, if it weren't for the dust I encounter daily outside, I would
probably feel the need to wash it even less frequently)
- Homemade
masks were my best friends. If you make a mask from stuff you have in
your own kitchen you know there are no chemicals and thus it cannot harm your
hair. Click here to find some great masks!
- Supplements
help. Vitamins and minerals are essential for beautiful hair, skin and nails; I
took Omega 3 supplements and that improved the quality and growth spurt of my
locks.
I think those are the only things I did on a regular basis
these past years.
But what to do when you don’t have that much time on your
hands or you simply cannot grow your hair? The most common solution is hair
extensions! They’re easy to acquire, simple to apply and highly adaptable to
your needs. Not only do they add length, they can also add texture and shape
and can be purchased online, in the comfort of your home.
If you’re going this
route and are looking for hair extensions online, I recommend www.seekhair.co.uk. They offer a variety of hair
extension techniques, from clip-ins to pre-bonded and everything in between. They
also have many colors, lengths and styles to choose from and if you still can’t
find the right color for you, a quick visit to the hairdresser will solve that
problem, as they can be easily dyed.
The website also provides a hair care instruction page and a How to Apply one as well if you are trying this at home.
So don't hesitate if you want to have your dream come true, of having long, full hair!
