Day 151 - Growing for 21 weeks and 3 days

My hair on the 25th March

I haven't updated my blog in ages! But the hair project has not ended, don't worry! And what's more, my hair has grown significantly since my last post! So many times I have looked in the mirror and thought, wow, my hair really does look longer. I mean, it's not super long or anything, but I think there is a definite difference. I haven't taken any pictures of my hair since the 25th of March though. I would take some now but right now my hair is in a plait and would probably be quite wavy if I took it out the plait so it wouldn't show off the full length. But I'll upload a picture from the 25th of March, which is around halfway between the last time I posted and now, and when I get a chance I'll take a picture of my hair now and upload it. 

I wrote about wanting to use hair treatments on my hair. I have tried out some hair treatments from Lush - First I tried H'suan Wen Hua, and it seemed to make a definite positive difference to my hair! My hair seemed softer and shinier, and less fluffy. I am currently trying out their other hair treatment - Jasmine and Henna Fluff Ease. It seems to be working well too, although I'm not sure yet which hair treatment I prefer, or is the most effective. I have been using a hair treatment once a week, at the weekends. 

The weekend before last, I went up to London for a party with some friends, and I decided to straighten my hair for the first time in ages - the difference in length from before was definitely noticable! I'm so glad that my hair is really growing! I also trimmed my fringe a few days ago because it was getting too long and covering my eyes. That's the one part of my hair I don't want too long! Hehe! Also, I have some split ends, but they are not too bad, and don't look noticable from a distance. I'm sure I've had far worse split ends before, on having cut my hair more recently. They don't go too far up my hair, they are just at the very ends, and the appearance of them is lessened by the hair treatments, and I also use Lush's R&B hair moisturiser, which I find very helpful for smoothing the ends of my hair and making it less fluffy - I just rub a tiny amount between my fingers and gently pat and smooth it onto the ends of my hair. I also plait my hair at night and put a more generous amount of R&B on the ends of the plaits overnight. Even if I don't wash my hair in the morning (I tend to wash my hair every other day), the ends don't seem greasy in the morning - the moisturiser seems to absorb into my hair overnight, which I figure can only be a good thing!
