Well, I've been neglecting the blog for these past few weeks, which have been very busy. But as you can see... It's growing! I have been trying a number of hair-growth remedies over the past few months, but I am starting to think the following things are the true gems: henna dye, Vitamin D (vitamins in general, really), Jello and soy. Why? Because those are the main things I'm keeping up on a daily basis! ;-)
It's a little tough to remember allllllll the remedies every day... I do remember the apple cider vinegar and rosemary oil often, and sure, I'm consuming plenty of protein, but I really think the things I listed above are the major hair growth solutions.
It makes sense -- the soy milk has a form of estrogen, which encourages growth, plus it has loads of vitamins and protein. Jello is gelatin, which is a building block of hair and nails. (Bummer... My nails were getting really long, too, but I caked on too much nail polish and it made a couple of them break.) Vitamin D was recommended by my cousin, and I am still taking the hair formula vitamins from Walmart; it just makes sense that vitamins would be beneficial.
The henna dye is just awesome; it's healthy and nutritious for hair, and to be quite honest, it's pretty fun to apply. If you ever enjoyed playing in the mud as a child, you'd like henna. It's basically like taking warm mud and applying it all over your head like a mask. The color is great and looks natural... One observation, though: True henna is reddish, so when henna companies say a dye is blonde, brunette, etc. (anything other than red), other plants have been added to the henna, so your hair is going to have a bit of a red tint. I used the medium brown henna about a week before the above photo was taken, and it's a reddish brown color. I love it, though. It's getting really shiny and thick, and it feels healthy.
