Day 39 - Growing for 5 weeks and 3 days

I smoothed on loads and loads of Retread conditioner this morning, and today my hair is really soft and healthy looking! And the shorter bits at each side of my face are looking nice and tousled but soft, rather than their usual crazy look. So all's going well!

Day 38 - Growing for 5 weeks and 2 days

I just looked in the mirror and thought ''my hair is looking really long today'', so I decided to update my blog. My most recent hair product I have acquired is some 'Retread' conditioner from Lush. It's supposed to be their strongest one so I thought I'd give it a try, as I love all things Lush. I've found I have to use a large amount in one go, to make it smooth all over my hair, but it has had a great effect I think - my hair seems very smooth and less tangly, and perhaps even a bit thicker! Also I was examining my ends yesterday and I seem to have less split ends, so perhaps using all this conditioner is smoothing them down. At any rate, my hair doesn't look like it desperately needs a trim. So that's good, because I have no intention of trimming it!

In my last post, I mentioned that I plan to do some kind of hair treatment. On browsing the Lush website, I have noticed that they sell some hair treatments that seem to have good reviews, so I may get hold of one of those to try first, rather than making my own. It may be a rather more expensive option though! But I'll see how it works. When I can next get to a Lush, that is.

Day 27 - Growing for 3 weeks and 5 days

I just took some pictures! So I shall attach one. I think my hair does look slightly longer! Although it could be the angle of my head in the photo. But comparing all the photos I took today with the ones I took at the start of this project, I think it does look longer! Maybe my hair is straighter today though. My hair does feel nice and soft now, and it seems to be drying less frizzy, which is good! I have kept using lots of conditioner. I aim to do some kind of a 'hair mask' soon, with perhaps avocado and olive oil. I have kept wearing my hair in plaits a lot. Oh, last weekend I did straighten all my hair, for a meet-up with some friends, and it looked really nice, that day and the next, until I washed it. Nicer than it used to look when I straightened it. So that's a good sign - hopefully it's stronger and more able to withstand the straightening now as well! Anyway, here's a picture.

Also, I know the ends of my hair are really uneven. It's because I cut it myself, being a student and all. I don't know whether I plan to even it up, or just let it grow how it wants and when it's long it won't really matter anyway if the ends are uneven!
