Growing your hair out is no easy feat, and when it takes longer than we expect, we start to feel hopeless. Today, I’m going to be sharing the two steps that helped me most in my hair growth journey!
Background
I have always had long hair and absolutely loved it, hence why I would trim it once every 3 years (not the best idea). About 10 months ago, I went in to the salon to get a trim and left sobbing. My hair was so damaged at the ends that we had to take off several inches, leaving me with slightly longer than shoulder length hair. It takes me a while to grow out my hair, so you can imagine the despair I felt in not having long hair. After many products and trials and error, I finally found a relatively quick and easy way to grow out my hair!
What is It?
Apart from nutrition of course, I found the two main steps to hair growth is a good scalp oil/serum, and a nice scalp massager. Whereas the scalp massager varies and you can find a great one almost anywhere, the scalp oil/serum is a bit pickier. My holy grail thus far has been the OUAI Scalp Serum, and their scalp massager is wonderful too.
How?
- The scalp massager helps increase blood circulation in the scalp and opens up the pores for new growth and product. I like using mine in the shower when shampooing, but you can use it on dry hair too.
- The scalp oil/serum works to give nutrients directly to the root of the hair, strengthening it and allowing it to grow at a more rapid rate.
Why OUAI?
It is important that your scalp serum/oil is high quality, being as it is going to feed the root of the hair. The OUAI serum includes adaptogens such as Arctic Root, Siberian Ginsing, and Chaga Mushrooms along with Hyaluronic Acid which help to hydrate the scalp and aid in faster, thicker hair growth. With all these benefits, it also has a delicious scent that provides that luxury, spa-like feeling in your own bathroom. The company does recommend it for every day use for best results, but I found that I achieved exceptional results just by using it every day that I washed my hair, so 2-3 times a week.
Final Thoughts
Using these two tools, I believe anyone can grow out their hair in a much more speedy and efficient way. I can’t promise extreme miracles, such as two inch growth in two weeks, but I can guarantee that the results will be evident in 3 months at most. However, don’t forget that nutrition is most important for healthy, long hair, and I will make a separate post about that if you guys would like. Please let me know if you try out these methods and let me know how it worked for you!
