Grow Long Hair Fast!

We've all had a bad haircut at one point of our lives. Or you went to get a trim and the hairdresser chops off 5 inches of your hair off? I swear these ordeals happen on a daily, so need to get bummed. I did a big chop about 3 months ago and have been regretting it since. I had cut my hair to a short bob, and it is little passed my collar bones now! Just remember that growing long hair is a dedication and will take effort.

Step 1: Grab some olive, coconut or castor oil and heat it up in the microwave. You will need 2 tablespoons.
Step 2: Wait for the oil to cool down before massaging it onto your scalp. Massage it for 2 minutes of more. Massaging the scalp stimulates hair growth.
Step 3: Invert yourself. Inverting yourself means that the your head will get more blood circulation which results in longer hair. Trust me, it is totally safe if you follow the steps properly! You can sit on a chair or on a couch and lower your head slightly toward feet. You can also do a headstand if you are able to! You want to be inverted for a minimum of four minutes. When you are done, you should get up slowly. You don't want to get up too fast or you will get dizzy. If at any time you feel uncomfortable just slowly get back to position. The inversion method is not recommended for pregnant women.
Step 4: You want to do this for 7 consecutive days. If you do it for longer, your brain will get used to it, which will mean you won't see any results. You should wait 3 weeks before attempting it again.

Amla oil is an oil which I have been using for a long time! Before I cut my hair, it was mid-back length. Amla oil is an Indian gooseberry which has been used for centuries by Indian women. Here are the benefits!
1. Penetrates the scalp which aids the hair in growth.
2. Strengthens hair at the roots.
3. Helps prevent gray hair. Amla oil does darken your hair, I have have copper brown hair and the oil hasn't really darkened it noticeably. I think it is worth it though!
4. It also helps open the pores which give room to the scalp to produce natural oils. This promotes faster hair regrowth.
5. Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants.
My favourite brand of amla oil is Dabur Amla Oil. It can be found in any Eastern Asian supermarket. You can also order it online. I use this oil every night. Pure amla oil would be best if you can get your hands on it. I should also mention that the smell isn't the best, but you get used to it!

Hair masks can be very beneficial to the health and condition of your hair. There are many ingredients that you can find in the refrigerator. These ingredients may seem like something that you would put into a sandwich, but now you will start using these for your hair!
Avocado hair mask:
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon of honey
Grab a mixing bowl and a fork and mix the above ingredients together. Wet your hair before applying this mixture all over your hair. Massage into your scalp also. Keep the mixture on for 20 minutes. I choose to leave it on for a few hours while covering it with a showering cap, but if you are tight on time, 20 minutes is enough. Shampoo and condition like usual after.
Milk and Honey hair mask:
- 2 cups of milk (you can use cream if you have course hair)
- 2 teaspoons of honey
Heat up the milk until it is warm, not too hot that it will burn your scalp. Add the honey and mix it together. Apply this mixture on dry hair and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Cover your hair with a shower cap to keep the heat trapped in. Shampoo and condition afterwards.
