It’s been 10 months, almost a year, since I finally could start with growing my hair without chopping it off all the time. This means = finally discovered what’s best for my hair, so it would not get split and coarsy ends fast. I was was a true master before when it came to getting split ends or just rough & dry ends. But soon, after I decided to try leave-in conditioner, my hair got better and better. I am so happy about that little discovery! At the moment I use Giovanni leave-in conditioner and I love it! Also, besides using leave-in conditioner, wearing braids and hiding my hair from snow & cold air really helped as well. :o

After little calculating (from monthly taken photos), my hair growth in 10 months (with two 0,6 inch trims) is ~ 7,5 inch (19 cm). :)

But now, some photos of my hair. : )

My hair journey in summary -

My normal hair texture (curly underneath & a little wavy on top):

My hair growth journey doesn’t end here yet, even though I reached my goal. I am currently reaching for hips.. which is not that far away. : )
I wanted to thank you all for making such great community! It has helped me a lot and I have learnt much about proper hair care! Thank you all beautiful hairs! :)

Your hair color is soooo gorgeous!! And amazing progress! Maybe I should try leave in too, but I feel like it won't work on my thin hair, I don't know how it will look when dry?

Aww, thanks. : )

Thank you! : ) I'll stick around for sure! And as I said, my new goal is to grow my hair to the hips. : )


Ohhh, those braid waves are amazing!!!

Thank you! : ) I really like them too! And they are super easy to make, if you're interested, here's the link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFsdt4jONYg) where I got the idea.


Congrats, gorgeous!
Did you use any products on your scalp that resulted in such great growth?

Thank you! : ) To be honest, my hair care routine is pretty plain, which means that I don't really do hair masks or do other that kind of treatments that often. Maybe once in every two months or so. I blame my genes for the growth though : )


Your hair color is soooo gorgeous!! And amazing progress! Maybe I should try leave in too, but I feel like it won't work on my thin hair, I don't know how it will look when dry?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! : ) You should definitely try out leave-in conditioner, I hope it works for you as well!


Congrats, your hair looks so beautiful and it suits you so well :)

Thank you so much lovely Tini! : )

Aww, thank you my friend! You are so sweet! ^^ :blossom: : )

Thank you! : ) I also ordered my Giovanni leave-in from iHerb. Which leave in did you order? I personally use Weightless Moisture Conditioner atm. I have used Aubrey one before as well, but I felt it did not suit for my hair that well. Maybe it has something to do with hair texture, because for example, my sister has much thicker and stronger hair whereas my hair is thinner and more vulnerable if I may say, and she personally prefers the Aubrey one more than Giovanni one. So I guess it depends. Anyways, I really hope the leave-in works for your hair as well! Good luck! :)

I'm glad your growing to hip length and will be around to enjoy this site.

That's the kind of texture that my hair used to have, but no more. It's really lovely. I'm very happy for you in reaching your goal.
