When your hair is happy

You know that awesome feeling after you get a hair cut and your hair just becomes very agreeable to anything you want to do with it?

It's a great feeling because of  a couple of factors:

1) NO SPLIT/DEAD ENDS

2) There is not a lot of weight on your roots anymore

3) YOUR HAIR JUST GOT PAMPERED

Now your hair stylists always tell you to come to get it trimmed every 6 to 9 weeks and to be honest, no one has any idea how much hair they would have grown by then and also how busy they are etc. My hairstylist can even attest to not having time to get her hair cut. Now, she can cut her own hair every now and then, but nothing can compare to getting it done by someone else because they can REACH all the nooks and crannies.This does not mean you need to go and shove $20 to $30 for a haircut each time. In my opinion is about finding a stylist who you like and has the experience and the skill. My hairstylist works at Super Cut here in the States and I only need to pay $15 total however I like to tip her well because she gives me a lot of tips for hair all of the time and just a nice person to be around. Trust me I do get picky about who cut my hair because my last couple of sessions with someone who is non Asian seems to mess up my hair because they are unaware of what really works. However, I have noticed like with my current hair stylist, who is non Asian by the way, if you give them like picture of what you really want when you are first getting started then they are able to help you better. As for myself, if I had to go to someone where I have no idea what I want to do with my hair, it will only be my cousin in China who is an amazing hair stylist.

For myself personally my hair will grow 1 to 3 inches in 6 to 9 weeks, yes my hair grows fast it's a luxury but also a hassle. I'm a very low maintenance person when it comes to styling my hair, keeping my hair healthy I will take the time to do it. In my opinion, no make up can truly enhance your natural beauty unlike just eating right and taking care of your skin with masks etc. The same goes for hair, if you are not drinking enough water, then you are not giving your body enough nutrient and it shows through your hair and nails because they are make through dead cells.

So when my hair decided to grow like 3 to 4 inches within the last three months I was kind of shocked because that's usually it might grow in half a year but then again it might be that once you have too many split ends, it might just stop growing. TIP to those who want to grow their hair out, getting it trimmed slightly just get split ends off every 6 weeks will help you grow your hair faster because split ends does not just stay at the ends, I have one time where I didn't cut my hair for I say a year and a half and I had over 6 inches of split ends but they just keep splitting up the shaft.

Another reason to why my hair grew so much is because of two reason:

1) I drank more water this summer than I've probably ever had before because I was speaking so much and also I decided to get a filtered water bottle.

The current one I use is the EZ Freeze PURE Filtered Water Bottle I got it for around $5 at Wal-Mart and it works fine plus you can freeze the center part to get your water to be cold throughout the day because it's gel in there so it will stay frozen longer. Now it took me forever to get a filtered water bottle because the greater majority of them are expensive, and yes $12 for a Water Bobble is expensive to me! So when I found this for $5 I snagged it up and I don't regret it at all because I drank SOO much more water for the sole reason that I don't need to constantly buy more water and I don't need to wait for the traditional water filters to use, now we still have those at home but this is just more convenient.

2) Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil

I love it for the smell and I heard people talk about the moroccan oil this or moroccan oil that all the time. Now this is not the original expensive brand but I just saw a sample size while in line at Ulta and decided to try it out just to see how it reacts to my hair. It doesn't weight my hair down much, I try to keep my hair tamed with the least amount of product because I wash my hair every other day and if I put too much product then by the second day my hair just becomes too greasy. And my hair feels much softer after using this oil especially in the hot heat of the summer my hair becomes extra dry.

I am also using the Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Renewing Renewing Treatment.

I am still half and half about this, it doesn't make my hair feel amazing soft as other deep conditioners I have used in the past. I use it once a week and I when I first put it on it is not like a super thick deep conditioner that you feel is just like a thick cream over your hair. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I put enough even though I know for sure I took a hefty amount of it. I am still in the process of trying to notice a difference or not but it also depends on what else you are adding into your hair.

So whether you are a fan of piling products into your hair or just simple maintenance or none at all, it's always important to watch the progress of your hair especially when it comes to styling. If you hair is just becoming unmanageable and you very tired of it, it's time to go to a hair salon that you know is good.

Best,
