My hair is completely dead. How to I fix it to where it is long and pretty?
I have been straightening my hair for 5 years. I have VERY curly and frizzy hair, but its crazy kind, all over the place. I had blonde highlights done to it for 4 years, and last year I dyed it all brown so I could try saving it a little. But it hasnt grown at all by getting rid of blonde. I have been trying to wear it natural lately, and i cut down on straightening to only on weekends when I go out. I still see no progress in growth, it has been the same length for 3 years! Not lying either, it has not moved at all. I wear hair extensions some times, but I want to be able to wake up with long hair, not always have to clip in my extensions. PLEASE HELP.
idc how much it will cost me, i will save up
i just want healthy hair that will finally GROW!!
Also, are there any vitamins that actually help hair growth? or shampoos and conditioners. I dont want to buy a bunch to figure out which ones work and which ones dont.

Get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks!
Why did you think DYING your hair would making your hair HEALTHIER? Jesus. Make sure your using a heat protectent EVERY time you straighten your hair. Theres some hair growth supplements you can take, they are in the prenatal section in grocery/drug stores. As far as shampoos and conditioners, Id suggest staying away from Herbal Essence and things like that, they tend to dry my hair out, even the ones that are suppose to not do that. Go to your local drug store or grocery store and look at John Frieda’s products. Theres this repairing conditioner that is AMAZING. Its called Rehydrate Moisture-Binding Daily Deep Conditioner.

Your hair IS growing..it’s just that it’s always breaking off before you can see actual results because you have a lot of split ends from overprocessing your hair (chemical from highlights and drying/pulling your hair from straightening it).
So solution: trim your hair, every single layer that you may have…use deep conditioner and use less heat products, air dry…etc.

first get rid of the damaged hair
Home Remedy for damaged hair growth care
Mix 1/2 cup honey and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Work a small amount at a time through hair until coated. Cover hair with a shower cap; leave on 30 minutes. Shampoo well and rinse.
1/2 cup of ripe avocado, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 banana (I prefer it not to be too ripe), 1 egg yolk. Massage it in to your hair and especially your scalp. Cover it with a shower cap. You can also use a gallon size baggie in a pinch. Wait 45 minutes to an hour then rinse it off thoroughly and shampoo as usual. This beauty recipe is a keeper, I love the way it makes my hair look and feel.
Beat 1 egg white until foamy. Add to 6 tablespoons plain natural yogurt. Apply to hair in small sections at a time. Leave in for 15 minutes. Rinse.
2 cups distilled water, 1/3 cup chopped fresh rosemary leaves – In small saucepan combine ingredients and bring to boil. Continue to boil 5 minutes. Let cool, then pour into spray bottle. Keep refrigerated and mist on hair to add shine, tone scalp, or invigorate skin.
In a blender or food processor, combine 2 1/2 tablespoons dried milk, 1 tablespoon wheat germ oil, and 1 egg. Apply evenly to hair and let set for at least an hour. Shampoo and style as usual.
Mix two whole eggs with four tablespoons of olive oil. Smooth through hair. Wrap head with plastic wrap, and leave in hair for 10 minutes. Rinse well.
Boil 7 heaping tablespoons dried thyme in 2 cups water for 10 minutes. Strain and cool. Pour 1/2 mixture over clean, damp hair. Massage into scalp, do not rinse. Use the rest of the solution another day.
If you swim in a chlorinated pool for exercise on a regular basis, the same damage you’ve noticed happening to your skin and bathing suit, is happening to your hair, as well. Try this treatment at home to keep chlorine damage to a minimum.
• 1 egg
• 1 eggshell’s worth of olive oil
• 1 quarter of a peeled cucumber
Blend the egg, olive oil and peeled cucumber. Spread evenly through your hair, leave on for 10 minutes, then thoroughly rinse. For the best results year-round, continue this treatment monthly.
