So all of my life I have had long hair, but recently I have been yearning to challenge myself to grow it waist length. I figured it would be a fun to see how long I could grow my natural hair if I put in a strong effort. So here I am – 19 months in on my journey to waist length hair and I wanted to share tips/tricks that have helped me and take you along the journey.
How to expedite growth naturally
I am an advocate for doing everything naturally so during this process, I didn’t use any chemicals or products that were toxic to help expedite hair growth. For the first six months I alternated between a natural hair vitamin and rice water. In just the first 30 days, my hair grew a full inch from the hair vitamins. You can click here to shop it on my Amazon page. They’re vegan capsules made with silica and also help with your skin and nails. It has fermented Biotin which is the key ingredient that helps your hair grow faster.
the rice water actually surprised me
The rice water also gave great results. Immediately I noticed that it made my hair easier to detangle. I used it once a week and it left my hair soft and shiny after each wash. If you have fine hair like me or low porosity, it’s important to be careful of how often you use rice water because it can leave a build up of protein and leave the hair brittle. Be sure to check out the video in the playlist below titled “EXTREMELY FAST HAIR GROWTH: Rice Water vs Hair Vitamins” to find out which worked better. I also show you how I made the rice water.
How Much It grew in 11 months
So in total, my hair grew 4 inches in 11 months which isn’t too shabby. The end of last month made 19 months and I will do an updated length check this week with a new YouTube video to accompany it – so make sure to check back. I do think that I will definitely reach the goal by the end of this year. Do you agree?
