Are you dreaming of long, luscious locks? We love bobs and pixie cuts, but there’s just something timeless about long, waist-scraping hair. If only it weren’t so hard to get. Everything from heat damage, bleach, hair type, and just general wear and tear can affect how our hair grows. But that doesn’t mean we can’t achieve the mermaid-length we desire. After all, long hair means plenty of different ways to style it, not to mention all the fun hair accessories you can use. It all starts with getting into the routine of putting your hair first. Steps like less heat, more frequent trims, saying no to dry shampoo, and, most importantly, investing in a quality hair growth oil can transform your tresses in no time.
What ingredients help with hair growth?
Hair growth oils restore nutrients to your strands and scalp to increase hair production, strengthen the roots, and eliminate breakage. Rapunzel’s secret? Probably a hair growth oil. We love hair oils that help smooth out frizz and rehydrate parched strands, but lately there’s been a lot of buzz about ingredients that actually help grow hair out. Rosemary oil has been hailed as a hero ingredient, but it’s not the only one. Peppermint oil, lavender oil, and even simple aloe vera have all been shown to increase hair growth.
Do hair growth oils actually work?
If you’re thinking, “This sounds about as legitimate as gummy vitamins,” wait just a moment. Danielle James, ELLE.com’s Interim Beauty Director, has firsthand experience of the wonders of hair growth oils. “My Type 4 curls are zig-zag and prone to extreme breakage,” says I’ve tried many oils for my hair, but I don’t feel the ‘nourishing’ and ‘growth benefits’ brand’s promise. I picked this hair tonic because it wasn’t too heavy, and I needed something to seal strands after applying my curl cream. My bottle is almost done, and I’ve noticed my hair is healthier, longer, and stronger.”
Still not convinced? After years of popping Biotin pills like candy, I experienced a real-life beauty miracle when I started using the JVN Complete Pre-Wash Scalp Oil. After bleaching my dark, Type 3A curls bright blonde, the hair around my part started snapping. After just a few weeks of using this oil before showering, even my colorist was flabbergasted by how much healthier, stronger, and longer those broken pieces looked. Now, after about three months of consistent use, you’d never know that my strands were anything other than perfectly healthy.
