Hi, I wanted to share my hair growth record and wanted to ask if its ok or slow or fast... just about anything feel free to share. I shall also jot down my hair routine.
I started with 38inch medium, black hair... and after 2 chops I ended with 24 inch hair in april end.... now measuring my hair comes to around 29.5/30 inches(they are wavy so cudnt be accutate)... should I consider this as good growth or ok one... not sure...
For my hair care routine,
day 1 : I wash my oiled hair with Himalaya herbals protein shampoo... I like to dilute my shampoo 1 part shampoo : 5 parts water. Lather up my scalp and gently squeeze the suds down my length. No conditioning....
day 2 : Oil my scalp and length of hair using warm coconut oil or my own home made concoction of coconut oil, castor oil, olive oil infused with herbs like fenugreek, fennel seeds, brahmi, dry henna leaves, cinnamon stick, few pepper corns and cloves. Use around 1.5 - 2 tbs of warm oil.
After oiling the entire scalp and length of hair, I massage it for around 10 mins, detangle and secure it into a single braid.
day 3 : Still oil + braid.
day 4 : detangle hair and wash it with himalaya herbal shampoo.
i avoid using conditioner becoz i use home made deep conditioning packs twice a month, also not to forget the oil massage i do everytime i wash my hair.
I also make it a point to eat healthy and exercise 4-5 times a week for 40 mins on treadmill.
Being a vegetarian im concerned about not having enough proteins in my diet... hence usually apply curd+egg protein mask alternating it with moisture mask.
some days if i feel my hair drier than usual in their semidry condition after hair wash, i take 3-4 drops of coconut oil in my palms, rub them and slide it over on my semidry hair. it solves the problem.
Friends, do write to me if im doing anything wrong or out of order and whether my hair growth rate is ok.
also do share the best ways that worked out for ur hair growth.
