please stop normalizing this. hair loves to grow when the right conditions are provided. anyone can do it. here are some haircare tips.
• make sure iron, ferritin, vit d, b12, zinc and thyroid levels are good (ferritin levels need to to be around 70-100 ng/mL even though doctors say 30 ng/mL is enough.
• do daily scalp massages to release fascia/tension from scalp.
• start using hair serum with caffeine daily.
• use a shampoo with 2% ketoconazole even if you don’t have dandruff because it will reduce DHT levels (only 2x a week).
• protect hair ends and lengths with a bond repair conditioner, a leave-in, and lightweight oil.
• use a clarifying shampoo (with sulfates) once a week (i use one with apple cider vinegar because our scalp loves low pH levels.
• wash your hair whenever scalp starts to get oily.
• eat enough protein according to your weight.
• drink hibiscus, nettle and horsetail tea.
• use rosemary water on your scalp.
• get some morning/evening sun or red light on scalp.
• if you’re going to oil your hair, consider your hair thickness. some can use thick oil like castor oil and leave it overnight. but for fine hair, hair serum with caffeine is enough. or MCT coconut oil and only leave it on for a few hours.
• sleep on 100% pure silk pillowcases.
• wear a 100% silk head covering at night if you have curly hair.
• keep your hair in braids or other protective hairstyles when you’re home.
• get enough sleep because melatonin can reduce oxidative stress in hair follicles.
• consume food such as berries, avocado, eggs, sardines, sweet potatoes, nuts, seeds and greek yogurt (will post a recipe to get nuts and seeds in easily).
• protect your peace because hair can shed excessively because of stress (but it will grow back, so don’t stress if you’re currently experiencing excessive hair shed). become serious about nervous system regulation.
• visualize your dream hair or do hair affirmations when you do your haircare.
you don’t have to do all of this. choose based on your specific hair/scalp issues. but it’s not hard to do all of this also.
every woman deserves to have hair like a cascading waterfall.
