I’ve had long hair since I was about 18. But it didn’t start to get super long until I started Curly Girl Method.
You’ve probably already seen a ton of these “how to grow your hair long” tips, but I think mine are a little different.
1) STOP trimming it! Trims are not necessary as long as your hair is healthy. It’s a myth just to get you back in the chair so you spend more money. You only need to cut if you have heat or chemical damage. Hair grows about an inch every 2 months. So if you’re getting regular trims every 2-3 months, you’re not gonna get anywhere because you’re cutting off all the new growth. The longer you wait before trimming, the faster it’ll grow.
2)Find a hair stylist that LISTENS to you. If you say an inch, and they take off 3, you’re gonna go backwards. Or try trimming yourself with a Unicorn Cut. Click Here to see my tutorial.
3)Follow the Curly Girl Method. It is a much more gentle way to care for your hair. And the 5 min of cowashing massages the scalp and can help promote growth
4) Don’t use too much heat or chemicals on your hair. Use low heat when diffusing. Using regular color on your hair is less damaging than bleach. A demi or semi color is much more gentle on the hair than permanent color.
5) Be gentle when detangling. Use lots of conditioner to help with the knots. A wide tooth comb or your fingers will be the least pulling. Click Here to see how I detangle.
6) Don’t wear tight hair styles too often and alternate your part. When I want to put my hair up, I either use hair sticks or hair clips. Click here to see which ones I use.

7) Don’t try to force hair products to work when they aren’t. This could lead to extra tangles and extra breakage
8) Don’t switch your hair products around too fast. You could lose track of what’s working and what’s more not
9) Drink lots of water and eat a well balanced diet
10) Exercise frequently
