Tricks to Growing Longer Hair - Stop the Split Ends!

I've always enjoyed having long hair, but at a certain point it just seemed to stop growing. In reality what was happening was that I had to cut my hair fairly often to keep the split ends away. Two years ago I was talking about my hair problems with a friend, and she suggested two things.

When using conditioner, use twice as much as you think you need, and use it mostly on the last six inches of your hair. Whatever product might be left on your hands you can use on the rest of your hair, but the vast majority should be on the last six inches.

After you've washed and conditioned your hair, turn the tap to cold and wash your hair out with water as cold as you can stand it. This cold wash tightens up each hair making it stronger and better able to handle brushing when your hair is wet.

Two years of this regimen and my hair has reached my hips and looks great! I can go several months between hair cuts, and it's made my life easier and made me more confident about my appearance. It doesn't take any more time than your usual method, but the results become obvious within a few months.

Best wishes,
