    To those of you who are comparing my rate of growth with yours, you are forgetting one thing and that is HEIGHT! We are not all the same height and the distance between my shoulders and waist for instance is going to be different than yours. So don't get hung up on how "slow" you are growing compared to me - it's probably just because you are taller! Humans generally grow about a half inch of hair per month, and the variation from person to person isn't very big. In any case, try to enjoy the journey and appreciate your own lovely tresses at whatever length you have! 😊

      swedish girl I'm with ya. My hair grows slow too. Try washing your hair in cold water with sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner. Use oil masks before washes. Stay away from hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons, etc. And take hair vitamins. These tried and true methods are working for me :)

    • @bhavna8293
      @bhavna8293 7 лет назад +7

      swedish girl use mustard oil for hair once or twice a week overnight before washing. it really helps in growing hair faster, stronger and shinier. all Indian girls use this and it works. I am also using this and my hair grows around 6 inches in 6-7 months. and yes braiding hair also works bcoz it reduces hair breakage and hencevhair grows quickly.

    A big hint for your hair is to not shower everyday, Don't wear elastic hairbands, don't brush it when it is wet, and do not use heat to it or it will kill your hair... Also start from the bottom of your hair and work your way up. My hair right now is at the back of my knees. I hope these tips are helpful for you, ❤

    What really annoys me is when my 18 year old daughter goes out with us (her bright red hair is waste length) she has complete strangers going up to her saying how wonderful it is but would she not think of donating it! like it's some kind of sin to have long hair and enjoy it. other talk about the dangers and talk about story's of people getting their hair trapped or people stealing it in the street in various places. I'm starting to think they're just jealous!

      It's a constant and annoying battle! I have hair down to my butt and I wear it in a braid frequently. I love wearing it down, but then people play with it, touch it, and tell me to donate it. I wear it up, and people tell me I should cut it because I'm not "appreciating it". I've donated almost 3 feet to Angel Hair for Kids over two donations (12 and 8 years ago). While I plan on doing it again, I want to just enjoy long hair for a while!

    I began growing out my hair about 5 years ago too, except I began at a pixie and now it's down to waist length. That was also when I decided to stop coloring and go natural with my gray hair. So now it's almost entirely salt & pepper overall with a thick strand of silver at the front which looks almost like a highlight :)

Seriously?) I'm still in a stage what would be similar to your 'year one' stage, as I only joined LHC in March.

    I swear guys this will grow your hair use coconut oil or any organic oil you have even if it's cooking oil, the most important thing is massage your scalp!! just masage it every single day , at least for month and see the results my cousin her hair was same length for a 10 years, she massage it for a month every day for 20 mints and it grows out like crazy, her hair now is almost in her knees you hair needs blood to circulation to grow its really more important than the oil you use

    Videos like this saddens me so much, I ALWAYS wanted long hair. My hair was so beautiful and shiny as a teen and just below my bust. Then I took Accutane at 24 and lost about 50% of my hair and what's growing out now 4 years later is dry and brittle and lacks shine. It's just so depressing. Now Im just gonna let it grow regardless but I am pretty sure it will look frail, thin and frazzled, and dry, when it gets longer. I can't imagine the how women with cancer and alopecia feels.

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I’m just starting my journey to grow out my hair after years and years of having really short hair to dying my hair with box dye every month for 2 years straight and straightening it everyday, getting it permed and putting bleach on it and reaching a point where I realize that if I keep doing that I’ll eventually go bald. Thank you so much for this video, again, I will do as you did with some extra homemade hair masks that I used to do that kept my hair from completely failing on me when I box dyed it. Thank you thank you! You’re giving me hope. I really really miss my long hair and I am absolutely done with short damaged hair. You’re an angel!

      I have curly hair the length of this girl's hair as well, and I've gone and asked them to cut the spit ends. They actually brushed my hair dry and I could see where the hair wasn't healthy and needed to be cut. They probably cut more than you expected because the split/dead ends went up higher.

      Well that's sad. Go to another hair dresser or complain about how he is cutting too much. I never experienced that before since my parents have been cutting my hair all my life. But maybe you can ask your family or friends to trim it for you? They should be close to you and know what a trim is.

      IWS BALI well once in a while you should cut off the split ends, but you don't have to do it often. I think if you take good care of the ends, you can avoid split ends but once a year you should cut them a tiny bit so that they're even, I think.

    I am now tailbone length.

      I stated 25th September (just past shoulder length - been like that for a year) in about 3 days I grew an inch or at least ¾ of an inch. I started on the 25th September and on the 28th it was longer. All I've been doing is massaging my head 5 minutes per day and leaving my hair in either plaits or French braids which prevents frizz also since my hair is straight and flat, using French braids made it look thicker and finally had volume.

    Your hair is gorgeous, and crazy shiny. I had waist-length hair until December when I decided I was ready for a major change. I had my stylist cut 13" off (donated it). At first I loved it. But now I miss the length & am working towards growing it long again.

    • @makeupandcoffee
      @makeupandcoffee  7 лет назад

      I have done the same thing! Chopped mid back length for a short bob - with straight across bangs. (The bangs did NOT look good on me haha) It was fun while it lasted, but then I resumed the journey. Thanks for donating it though - that was super generous and I think it's definitely worth some time growing it back. :)

That was like 4 years ago and my hair currently is similar to your Year 1 look. It's grown quite a bit since I've shaved it and my goal is for it to be to my hips

You and hair are pretty. It was fun to see your hair journey. I like Monoi oil too.

    This is really inspiring because you had so much patience and control over yourself over 5 years growing your hair. One year ago I chopped off my pretty much rib length hair to a pixie cut, and about 3 weeks ago I decided to grow it out. It is exhausting because I feel like it's not growing at all (it is, I'm just impatient. I just dyed my hair turquoise and I can track my roots this way), but stories like yours keep me going. My goal is to get where you were in year one or two so medium long, and it's probably going to take some time, but I'm motivated and I promised myself I would make it work this time. Also, you're very pretty, just saying. Great video, great editing and I loooove your voice! Thumbs up!
