Ok, out of all threads, I feel like I have to reply on this one
I just measured for you guys:
My hair is 91 cm long (35.8 inch)
and super healthy!
These tips sweetorange gave are really awesome! I would stand by them, and actually do almost of these myself.
Also the Inversion method is amazing, as told here before. Look up on youtube how to do it.
Besides that, buy a spider head massager, it is the best, and so relaxing.
To prevent damage, buy microfiber cloth and only dry with that after you have washed with that.
Airdry your hair with a cooling fan, if you want to speed up the drying process a little. But never use heat!
Next, one of my biggest secrets: buy a satin pillow case. At least 8 hours a day you spend breaking your hair on a cotton pillowcase when turning while asleep. Satin doesn't do that to you.
Also, don't go to your hairdresser more than once a year. I haven't gone to one in years, and it looks superhealthy. Buy hairdresser scissors and while watching tv or anything, grab a section of hair and go through each of them and cut out the individual hairs that are broken.
If your hair is super damaged or you really feel you need a haircut. Buy aPhogee two step protein treatment, and you'll see after you are done, you don't need a haircut anymore
I use it every 2 months
I am sure there are some more things I do for my hair that I just can't think of now. But this should get you started.
Love, Ellen
Oh and added bonus: satin pillow case also gives you less wrinkles and acne
I've heard wonderful things about Aphogee shampoos btw but I don't know why we don't have the brand available in Spain! Wish I could give it a try!
Yes, going to the hairdresser can be dramatic but you have to chop off the hair for healing the endings, that's why I wrote 3 times per year (every 4 months more or less) what I do is use a hair-cutter when I want to chop off a big piece (cause my hair is 94cm long a bit more than you hehe) and the hairdresser scissors when I just want to cut my endings a bit.
I forgot the best tip ever!!! DON'T DYE your hair more than twice in a year. It grows faster when you stop dying it every f* single month



P.S: Oh I didn't know the spider-head massager can be good for this too, I'll give a try!
Thanks Ellen!
