How Can I Get Healthy Long Hair? Hydra Tlc? Long Term Relationship? Length And Strength? Beautiful Lengths?
My hair has split ends from straightening and cutting it myself. It is layered and angled, and the longest pieces hit just past the shoulders. It’s wavy, dry and damaged.I would love to grow it extremely long without cutting it (not soon anyway, I of course will get a trim every 2 months)
I need a new shampoo/conditioner, I’m looking into:
1. Sunsilk- Hydra TLC
2. Herbal Essences- Long Term Relationship
3. Garnier Fructis- Length and Strength
If anyone has reviews of these shampoos, they’d be much appreciated :]
Also, if I stopped using all heat tools, would this prevent the split ends from moving up my hair shaft? If not, what would?
I’d love to hear any tips on growing hair long and strong :]
Thanks in advance!
First, you have to get your hair cut. That’s almost a requirement. You NEED a clean slate.
No need to get more than a quarter inch cut. Just ask to get your split ends trimmed off. And be firm that you do NOT want length cut off; lots of hair stylists tend to get cut-happy… Get the layers fixed and an even length.
I would recommend someplace like Mastercuts. They’re good at simple cuts and really cheap.
I love all those shampoo brands, but I personally use Pantene Beautiful Lengths. It has aquacurrent technology and I believe is the newest long-hair shampoo. Pretty sure they work basically the same, though.
Now, basic tips to healthy and shiny long hair. Do as many as you can!
- No hot tools!! Or, at least dramatically lessen usage to twice a week or preferably even less.
- Deep condition your hair (try Garnier Fructis 3 Minute Masque) every week. Put it on before you shower for about an hour. Then shampoo + condition as usual.
- Eat well and take multivitamins & omega 3.
- Get a water filter for your showerhead. I actually noticed better hair in two weeks after doing this.
Good luck!
