How to grow your hair faster the real way




1. Castor oil : Castor oil has been used for a very long time to grow hair. It helps prevent split ends, hair loss. Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid and omega- 6 essential fatty acids which accelerates the blood flow. It nourishes and strengthens the hair follicles, resulting in strong re-growth. This can help you grow your eyelashes and eyebrows.

TIP: When washing out oil, apply the shampoo before wetting your hair as water makes it harder for the shampoo to  fully wash all the oil out. I recommend the deep cleansing tresseme shampoo as this is very deep cleansing and washes out all oil from your scalp. While normal tresseme shampoos are white coloured this is a clear blue suggesting they haven't added many moisturising properties.

2. Stop using heat/ styling tools; Using straighteners won't stop hair growth but will ensure good healthy hair. Before I started growing my hair, I cut all dead ends so while its growing it wont be dry and dead.

3. Rich foods : 

  • Walnuts are rich in biotin and vitamin e, which helps protect hair from DNA damage. Walnuts also contain copper, a mineral that helps keep your natural hair colour rich and lustrous. biotin is found in many tablets that aid hair growth. 
  • The iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C in spinach help keep hair follicles healthy and scalp oils circulating, which helps your hair grow faster.
  • sweet potatoes contain antioxidant beta carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A. Every body cell can't function without enough vitamin A. Not having enough vitamin A can lead to itchy, dry and dandruff infested scalp.
4. Inversion method : The inversion method may not bless you with 1 inch of growth in a week, but your hair will grow quite a few inches but not in a week. Doing the method once a week, for a couple weeks will make your hair long and strong. The results differ for each person as we all have different types of hair and scalps. 

5. Shampoo : Over shampooing and washing your hair everyday will strip away natural oils and means your hair won't grow as fast or healthily.

Summer Fashion DIY's

Here are some of my favourite summer fashion DIY's and I hope you try some. Have fun.

DIY Summer Fashion Ideas - Embellished Sunglasses
This is probably the most cutest and most easiest. Re- vamp an old
pair of glasses with any thing you like. You can use diamonds to bows
it's up to you and your preferences. I like the ombre look on these glasses. 

16 DIY Fashion Crafts - Fashion Diva Design
These bracelets are so cute. You can make them out of old clothes and scarves.
if you ever have any left over wire hangers make sure to try this.
Headband with spikes Autors: Saulīte12345 Diy,Diy,Diy - dainty-fashion.com
I love spiky studs. This headband is so edgy and funky
and i love it. You could always swap for the pyramid style studs
or coloured ones. but i like the gold and black edgy look.
DIY Heart Patterned Jeans
I love printed jeans. But finding a pair in tall sizes ain't easy.
So this project is easy and chic. Cut the stencil and dab. If
your a bit older you could always use watered down bleach
it will give a faded sort of look but be careful and wear gloves
and eye protection.
Still have your old CDs? Love this!
This is a very in expensive diy and gives you the prettiest looking collar ever. You could use
beads, flat back studs for an edgy look.

This is so cute!
I love scarves and sometimes i go through my scarf collection and some of the
scarves are really thin and flimsy. So getting two scarves and doing this will be the
best scarf ever to be made. There is no sewing so not only is it easy, but you can
take it apart and try another colour combination.
