Now let’s get started . . .

As with everything else in life, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. You and thousands of other women have all reached a point where you ask yourselves, “how do you grow hair long?”. Even within families from the same gene-pool, hair texture can vary substantially so my aim is to get you to a stage where you understand your own hair’s needs at different points during your healthy hair journey (HHJ) in order to help you achieve what you are here for; how to get long hair.

Before we begin, you can find out a bit more about me by visiting my personal blog. Long story short, I grew out my perpetually stuck at shoulder-length relaxed length hair to healthy waist length natural hair in four and a half years. Don’t let the straight hair fool you, I usually wear natural hairstyles most often! I am confident that as the principles I will outline below worked for me, they will work for you too!



Hair Myths

To begin with I would like to start by dispelling a few hair myths.

1. Your hair doesn’t grow – Of course it does. Everyone’s hair grows, it’s as simple as that! If you hair appears the same length year after year it is simply that it is breaking at the same rate as it’s growing so you are not retaining any significant length.

2. Long hair is genetic – While there is a genetic component that determines how fast your hair grows (between 4-6 inches a year), only your hair habits will determine how long it will remain. You could have the fastest growing hair but if your hair is breaking at the same rate that it grows, it remains the same length. My own hair grew to waist length even though I only get 4 inches a year!

3. You have to have be natural to grow your hair long – Nope, you certainly don’t have to be natural to grow your hair long! Relaxed hair can grow to be every bit as long, thick and luxurious with proper care. I generally recommend that you seriously consider going natural because it is much easier to achieve your length goals, not to mention that natural hair rocks! Still there’s no rule that says that you have to.

So let me get you started on your healthy hair journey . . .

Now onto how I can help YOU grow your hair long. Below are the exact steps you need to follow to grow your hair long and healthy whether you are relaxed or natural.
