Length Retention Tips

I thought about titling the post "Tips for growing" but then I read Hair Growth Myths and personally, I agree with the post. Many times I have read that product xyz caused a great amount of growth. However, there is no control (minimize the unintended influence of other variables on the same system) and the claim is usually not compared against the same time frame. Plus, when using these "miracle products" you are also paying more attention to your hair (ie moisturizing the ends, protective styling) in ways that retain length.

So these are some ways that I retained length between the months of Aug-Nov:

1. Deep Condition at least once a week for a minimum of 30 mins

2. Wear protective styles as much as possible

3. Dust ends regularly to reduce the needs for trimming more length

4. Moisturize ends before styling and whenever they are exposed

5. Keep hair protected when sleeping (bonnet or satin pillowcase)

6. Trim/file your nails before working with your hair

7. Eat a proper diet....that includes water

8. When washing, focus on cleaning your scalp.

But if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
