Secret To My Hair Growth

"Is that all you?" - everyone

I get so many questions about my hair -- if that's my natural color, who does my weaves, why I get weaves when I have a lot of hair, what I'm doing to get my hair growing so fast. I am answering all of these questions here. 

Yes, it's my natural color! I used to get random people asking me, "what box number do you use?" I was always soooo confused by this question because for the longest time I did't realize what they were asking me. haha You can imagine the look I would give them in response. My hair color is auburn and, luckily, I have natural blonde highlights here and there (depends on the sun's mood really). This is actually one of the reasons I get weaves -- to play with color without having to dye my hair. I've never dyed my hair before. So I literally have "virgin hair."

I started getting weaves just for fun, but then I realized how much my hair was growing when I kept it braided up for a month or two at a time. It was growing healthy because I wasn't subjecting it to styling and heat. So, I decided last summer to do this to get my hair to grow long again. My goal is to grow it to the bottom of my chest. Right now, it hits the top of my chest. It's getting there! 

There are so many types of weaves, but when I am trying to get it to grow, I do a braided sew in. I go to Joy at Just Weaves in Inglewood. I get asked that a lot. I tag her in my hair posts, but I still get a lot of questions about it. haha I am linking her website here.

I have also spent a lot of time researching which vitamins will actually help me and have added them to my daily routine. Like all things -- you have to stay consistent. It won't work for you if you do not take these vitamins everyday. I will list the links to these vitamins below. 

  1. Hairfinity
  2. Cod Liver Oil Capsules
  3. Prenatal

I take a lot of vitamins daily (probably over 10 a day lol -- I officially am my grandparents), but those three are the ones I take to specifically target hair growth. The cod liver oil capsules and prenatal have so many other health benefits as well, so it's a win, win.
