How To Grow Your Hair Long + No Heat Hairstyles

Hey guys, what's up and welcome back to my channel for today's video, I am doing up my hair care routine with you guys. This video has probably been one of my most requested videos for like the longest amount of time I feel like ever since I grew my hair. Oh it's been such a commonly asked question. What my routine is my routine, never really felt like a routine until recently. So now that I've been kind of using a lot of the same products and doing a lot of the same hairstyles and I've even just fallen into a rhythm of when I washed my hair. When I put hair masks in my hair - and I feel like now - is a good time for me to sit down and film this, you guys watched my apartment tour. We deemed this. The youtubers crunchy I've been wearing it like every day since my hair grows. It took me about, I would say, let's go creep Instagram. My hair has always been since I was a kid. It'S always been kind of thick and kind of wavy, especially towards the back. I get like those like corkscrew waves, but towards the front where I obviously use a lot more heat on my hair straight so - and I remember my hair was about two here, but it was a little stringy at the bottom. You sue just like not believe in getting haircuts. It was one of those things that I thought. If I cut my hair, then it won't grow and I wanted my hair to grow longer, but for some reason it wouldn't really pass this just like mark that year. It became like a really hot trend that everyone chopped their hair off and my best friend Maggie is. She was a hair stylist at the time, and so I was like, I think, I'm ready to chop my hair. We did like an ombre thing where she put the natural color of my roots, which you guys can kind of see cuz. My roots are going in a little bit right now, almost like a mousey dark blonde Brown. She pulled that through and then chopped off the bottom, so I went pretty sure I'm gon na go find it. It maybe have been the first ever you toe birds are getting closer. Okay, guys remember when we used to post photos with like white blocks, like that. Oh well, so my hair without extensions, was like this August. 14Th. 2014. Okay. So that was what my hair looked like. You can kind of see towards the front. It was like very stringy, and it wasn't super long. It went to like here ended up looking like this, so we did that on September 23rd. 2014. So it's been about four years for my hair to go from this length to this. That was how short it was straight to give you guys a better idea after I chopped it, I would still throw any like extensions and stuff, and that's kind of a nice thing about having short hair. Is you get to do the best of both worlds, like these two pictures were side by side over time? I don't even think I really noticed it at the beginning. I stopped using so much heat on it. I stopped blow-drying it. I stopped straightening it all. The time I stopped curling it all the time, and I would just try and leave it as naturally as I could - that was kind of the first year to 2014, or I started getting into like being like super vegan and reading things like The Four Agreements and Getting into just like my first dabble with yoga, and so I kind of went through a phase to where I stopped using like heat, and I just would rock just my natural wavy hair and leave it short, throw some mousse in and call it a day. My hair would have not grown if it weren't for the fact that I was not using heat on a daily basis. I would use heat on my hair two three times a week and then that would be it and so that gave it the chance to actually grow. You put heat on your hair and damaging the cuticles, but especially your ends and the more damaged your ends are. The more they breaks up your hair, shaft and cuts off, and that's why, when we cut my hair and it was that weird awkward length and stringy, it was because I was using heat on it all the time I was never using heat protectant. I was brushing the crap out of it like just going to town when my hair was wet, and so it kept snapping and breaking, and even though it would get kind of long, the whole head would not be long. Just stopped. Growing second tip is to use heat protectant if you are using heat. This is so so important. This is one of those things that I feel like it's always like, all the screw it I don't have heat protectant. I don't need it whatever and you go and you're like it's just gon na, be this one time and then that one time turns into a week which turns into months. If you are gon na, be using heat on your hair. Try and protect it as much as possible. It'S never gon na stop the damage, but at least it could slow it down. My third big tip would just be patience like as crazy annoyingness, that is, if you're not using heat but you're, also taking care and protecting your hair. Only final thing you can really do is just wait. You almost have to stop thinking about it, find your routine start it and then do not think about it. Don'T think about how long you have to go, don't think about whatever and then suddenly you're gon na realize that your hair is kind of getting longer or it's feeling nicer or it's seeming softer or growing faster and then a couple years will pass and you kind Of get to play around with it in each stage like try and enjoy the stage you're in while finding a haircare routine. That'S going to basically support you with growing your hair out over time. So, in terms what your haircare routine could look like during that time share with you guys mine share with you guys the products that I like to use share with you guys my tips and tricks on how to not use heat on your hair, my skin, my Hair are two things that I feel like: I've really kind of cracked down a routine on and crack down on, just finding a way that I really like enjoy following through with, and so here it is so first things. First, when I go to the hairdresser I just get my roots touched up. Sometimes I get a half head. Sometimes I get a full head. The last time I went, I got a half head roots underneath my hair are really really long, but it's just a really easy way to save on money and to save on damage from your hair. I alternate between the two, probably every about six weeks, actually like six to eight weeks. My hair grows really fast. I'M at about the six week mark right now and that's about as much as my hair has grown. She tones it and that's it, and I ask her to just tone it a she er / like a little bit more silvery, rather than warm, because my hair tends to wash out a lot of the toner, which I will use a purple shampoo. For so that's like the first thing, oh really quick, though, when I go ahead and get my hair done, I would say like every third or fourth time I ask for a trim, just dust and just dust, just dust, usually anything from like that much off. If you like a lot, but if you're doing that, like it's actually going to help prolong the length of your hair, there's always like that, do you cut your hair? Do you not cut your hair, like everybody kind of battles over the myths and tricks of whether you should or shouldn't only when you need to like you've, been every three to four times there? Sometimes I'll go in and my ends will be okay like right now. My ends are totally fine, but I haven't gotten my haircut in a while check out the ends of your hair, see if you need to dust them and if you do then do, but if you're noticing that, especially if you're, not using as much heat on your Hair your ends are kind of fine, then skip it, and if you don't know, ask the hairstylist they'll be able to tell you so purple shampoo, the purple shampoo, I'm using is one that I've had for a really long time. I don't know what Bed Head is cruelty free, it might not be. I got this bottle for Christmas last year and you can see, I don't use it a lot because it's been almost a year now that I've had it and I've only used that much. This is another thing that I feel like bonds, especially this stuff is great, but it dries your hair, Oh a lot, so I actually try not to use this as much as possible. I usually maybe once every two weeks and when I put it in my hair, I mix it with my actual shampoo to just dilute it a little bit, so it doesn't dry my hair out as much I'll throw a clip in my hair leave it in my Hair and like do my shower routine and then I'll run the little cocktail of these two out and I feel like that. Just helps keep up with the toner until I get back into the hair stylist chair and she actually does the real set toner every two weeks, just a little cocktail with some shampoo, so Bed Head actually isn't cruelty, free, so I'll probably use up this bottle. I'Ll link some that are cruelty, free down below that side of my shampoo and conditioner, I found this brand back in January. I remember I actually bought. I think I bought it for Hawaii. It'S this brand called Maui and I remember being like hey I'm going to Maui, so I decided to pick it up. There'S no mineral oils, no silicones, no parabens, no gluten, no sulfated! No! No! No! No! I don't know what that word is no synthetic dye. Yes, vegan, yes, eco-friendly, yes, pure coconut water and yes pure aloe juice, side, the one for curly hair. I tried the one, that's like you know for more damaged hair and then the shampoo I'm using right. Now it's the nourish and moisture coconut milk. The only thing with shampoo is that I try not to put it too low on my hair, because I don't wash my hair more than pretty much every time I run. Every time I run is when I wash my hair. So it's like half of the days of the week with conditioner opposite I'll, go from the ears down and I use a lot of conditioner. The one that I'm using is some Maui, moisture strength and anti breakage agave, pull it all the way through from my ears down and then anything that's left over on my hands I'll pull through the top of my hair and then again when I have conditioner in My hair in the shower I've used my clip to clip my hair off my back slowly because nobody wants bacne, but also because it just gets it off my shoulders because it feels kind of gross and then I'll go through my shower routine and then I'll rinse. It out, that's my shower routine and then once I'm out of the shower I'll, usually start with my it's a 10 miracle leave-in product. This is something that I've been in love with for so long. I think I've talked to you guys about it before it repairs, dry, damaged, hair, add shine, detangles controls, frizz seals and protects your hair. Color prevents split ends, stops, hair, breakage, creates silkiness enhances natural body, and it's a flatiron spray and thermal protection anytime you're, using heat or anytime using anything. This is just this is gon na, be your friend. Even if I'm just throwing my hair into some braids, I would this is my hair either way. This is like always just my leave-in conditioner, pretty much or detangler that I use every time my hair is wet and then my favorite hairbrush brushes from beach waver cult. So this is one of the hair brushes. I got back in Hawaii. Actually this is one of the new things to my routine. I lost this and when I was moving, I found it in the back of like one of my underneath cupboards in my bathroom perfect. So I started using this and like if I had to choose one thing: actually: no, it probably would be maybe like leave-in protector. These are a god-sent for wet hair, because when your hair is wet, it's when it's at its most vulnerable doing this in your hair. First of all, and then using this to detangle it, it makes it's so easy, so smooth and then I can actually brush my whole head, which is a lot I have thick wavy hair, my hair loves to tangles and then I'll finally, and is pretty much all The products in my hair, the Maui moisture, so it's the same brand as my shampoo and conditioner, but it's almost like a spray oil and it smells like coconut weightless oil mist. Every time I spend this in my hair, my hair gets just super silky and nice. Just be careful if you're gon na be using heat on your hair, so maybe do this towards the end. So you don't, like you, know, sizzle your hair. You find that you put too much. It'S super easy to fix. You can just use dry shampoo and it soaks up all the excess dry shampoo fixes everything i shampoo heals sold. So if i'm not gon na be using heat on my hair I'll take any chance, i can to put a hair mask in normally. I will put either just plain old organic, like coconut oil. In my hair or I'll just use my conditioner either one. It doesn't need to be like a crazy, expensive hair mask I'll put again just like a pretty happy load of Maui, moisture or coconut oil into my hands, since I only ever put it from the ears down, because when you put it up into your roots, it Doesn'T need it as much because it's fresh your hair and it has the oil from your scalp. I find it just makes it super greasy. If I go any higher than my ears, so Co all of my hair from the ears down and then I'll either braid. It or bun it will start with hairstyle number one being my go-to French braids. What I'm doing my French braids I just like to brush through my hair kind of comb, it back and split it down the middle a lot of the times. I don't do this perfectly because I'll end up just throwing a hat on - or it's usually during the days that I know it's like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, where I'm not gon na be doing a lot of like crazy stuff and then on the weekend is usually When I use heat on my hair, pulling back the hair on each side, splitting it into three parts and then I braid outwards rather than inwards, this is actually a mistake. I just made growing up because I'm left-handed, I always kind of mix things up and do things backwards. I always screw up my left's for my rights. Also John braids are done inwards where, as I was spinning the inside the piece outwards and then every time you twist add chunks of hair as you go until you get down to the bottom of your neck and then braid the rest of your hair down. You know elastics in secured it and I'll sleep in my braids overnight. I, when I went on my Florida road trip like what I'm traveling. If I know I'm gon na be on a plane a lot of the times, I just French braid, my hair with a hair mask in because it's easy it's comfortable, and then I sing about the French braids too. Is that once my hair kind of absorbs a lot of that conditioners throughout the night and the next day, once the braids are dry, I will take the elastics out of my hair kind of shake up the leftover waves. I love that, like the seven, these vibes and styles are coming back, because that, like corkscrew old-school Taylor, Swift look is like cool again and it's such an easy one to do without using any heat, that'll be my go-to or I will use this guy. If I want to kind of get the same effect, but I need to use some heat, which you guys have seen me, use this and a bunch of get readies with Me's and stuff, it's kind of waves and that kind of style my hair is naturally wavy. I feel like it actually suits kind of like my face and just my overall appearance, the most I guess and then my second go-to at no heat hair style is just a slicked back like ballerina bun. I like doing this because one it gets my hair out of the way for yoga, but also too, if I just don't want to have my hair and braids that you want all my hair off my neck and stuff, I will spritz some of the Maui oil Into my hair and then again using this brush all of the hair back and then comb through to make sure that it's like completely smooth and that there's no bumps and then this is where my serious scrunchie addiction can come into play. Because then I'll pick like a scrunchie that matches my outfit of the day and I will wrap it around the bun and tuck it in my hair and then that's it and it's so easy all your hair is off your neck off your back. It just feels nice and you can use a hair mask in your hair, just again make sure you're doing it from the ears down because anywhere that you're. Looking your hair, you don't want to put the hair mask in cuz. It'Ll look really greasy once it kind of dries. You know it will end up kind of curling and twisting your hair around itself. So if you do want to take your hair out of the bun even later that day, once your hair starts to dry, it'll kind of have like a nice soft like beachy wave to it, those are my two go twos when, throughout the week, usually Monday to Thursday, any day that I run, I will do that to my hair, which one keeps the heat off and it gives it so many chances to just soak up conditioner and soak up coconut oil by the time the weekend rolls around. When I do my actual full-on. Just like style routine, it doesn't feel, like you know, dried out or frizzy. It'S just like it's it's moisturized and it's ready to go. So in those days again, I like to make sure that I'm using a heat, protectant and then ultimately I will just go ahead and blow-dry my hair. This is something that I never did because blow-drying used to take me so long. This brush really helps because it takes all the tangles out and smooths everything I'll make sure to put that insert on the edge of the blow dryers. It condenses the air into one solid spot too, so it helps it dry faster and then I just brush through my hair with this brush, starting with like a medium heat setting blow-dry all of my roots, once that's done, I will brush through one more time. I brush through it and I try and straighten out all the kinks using the brush and the blow-dryer. So this is my beach waver straightener. I, like it cuz it kind of gives that blowout without actually needing to do a blowout I'll use this to touch up anywhere. That still has waves, and you can kind of like pull your hair through it and twist it combs through these little inserts that you can take off of this straightener. The beach waver, straightening tool is what I use to kind of get like a blowout look or a straighter look, and if I'm curling my hair, then I'm still using and I've been using this for so long now. The Bellamy wand and it's in I'm using the bigger barrel, so I think it's 2 inches again kind of keeping it from the ears down. So I don't take away from the length curl all the pieces away from my hair, so there you guys have it. Those are all of my tips how I grew up my hair, all of the nany hairstyles. I do the hair masks. I do and just ultimately my full like pretty much weekly haircare routine. If you guys don't need to do a video on all of my favorite hairstyles, let me know - and I can film that by just commenting it down below or thumbs up, if someone already has - and aside from that, I hope you guys enjoyed getting to know my Hair care routine and today's use over video and I'll see you guys all in tomorrow's bye guys. Actually, I feel like I should use the scrunchies to like
