How To Finally Grow Your Hair Long and Healthy.
I always dreamt of having long, thick, healthy locks. I was never satisfied with my hair so I found myself chopping it off year after year just hoping it would magically grow back better than before. Hair is just like every other aspect of health, it’s an inside-out issue. If you aren’t focused on your nutrition and finding balance inside of your body there is little you will be able to do using something topically to get the hair of your dreams.
My hair finally transformed over the past year. It went from an over-processed, bleached, broken mess to the healthiest, thickest, shiniest hair I’ve ever had! Was it biotin from the grocery store? Something I tried that a celebrity promoted? Nope, though I had tried both smh…
So what changed? Well, I converted about 90% of all the products in my home to high quality, non-toxic products from Young Living. I started really paying attention to the supplements I was taking, especially their source and quality. You see, toxins get built up in our system and prevent our bodies from reaching their full potential. When you start to switch your products to high quality non-toxic products, even gradually, it can make a BIG difference in your overall health.
Let’s get specific. Here is a list of supplements and products I switched to, why I switched to them, and how they have benefitted me.
These two tried and true supplements that I know for a fact made all the difference in the world in my hair.
NingXia Red- This is a delicious superfood drink, the nutrition provided in just a few ounces contributes to the health of your hair. Other benefits include gut health, eye health, brain health, cardiovascular health, respiratory health… and the list goes on! NingXia helps fill in all nutritional gaps to help your body function its best.
Sulfurzyme- sulfur is THE most important mineral for maintaining strength and integrity in hair and in the hair follicle. Bonus: it’s also good for skin, nails, and joints too!
Mermaid Hair Spray
This is a combination of three oils that are all good at stimulating hair growth. I mix them in a 4 ounce amber spray bottle and fill the rest up with water. I use this combination after I get out of the shower, a few spritzes all over my hair. I also will use it heavily on my scalp the night before I know I will wash my hair the next day.
Here’s exactly how I make it, in a 4oz. amber glass spray bottle I combine…
30 drops of lavender
30 drops of rosemary
30 drops of cedarwood
Fill the rest up with water, give it a good shake and spray!
I’ve done a lot of research on how it’s really important to stimulate the hair follicle, to keep them clean so that healthy hair can grow from the root! That’s why I think this mermaid hair spray has been so vital. I apply the oils and give my scalp a good massage so that the oils penetrate deep and can work their magic.
I also have two specific brushes I use to stimulate the hair follicle that are also gentle on my ends. I ordered a L’ange Hair Siena Paddle Nylon Brush for detangling and I use it when I dry my hair. I also got the L’ange Hair Siena Paddle Nylon/Boar brush. Now THIS is a special brush and has made a big difference in the health of my hair follicle and therefore strength and thickness of my hair. I use this boar brush through sections of my hair to gently, but firmly, scrub my scalp. This does a few things, it cleans out gunk from the hair follicle so it is open and able to grow. You also distribute vital, natural oils further down the hair strand which is SO good for it. That’s why our ends tens to get brittle and break, the ends are so far away from being moisturized by our natural oils.
Let me know if you give any of these suggestions a try! Consistency is key, with careful maintenance and high quality supplements. If you stick with one or more of these tried and true methods, I guarantee your hair will thank you for it!
