Long Hair Please?

Okay so I normally keep my hair relatively short, a little bit above my shoulders...well i decided that I'm going to grow it out long enough so that I can donate it to locks of love...my hair is 6 inches long now from the place I will cut it at, so I have until about christmas left to go before i cut it. i need some help with keeping my hair in really good condition bc i can't get it cut anymore otherwise it'll stunt the growth....any ideas at all for what i can do to keep my hair healthy and free of split ends would be great. my hair is a medium brown and it can get greasy at the roots if i don't shampoo every day....any product advice to use would be great too. one more question: what should i use to protect my hair from the heat from my flat iron??

healthy diet and deep conditioner are good places to start. it would be ok to trim your hair once in a while as it will keep it in better condition and you wouldn,t need to have alot off. matrix sleek looks heat protector spray is good for protecting hair from hot irons.

Actually, if you cut the ends off, and cut off all split ends, your hair grows faster. If it's dead, it can't grow. This advice comes from my barber-stylist hubby, who has been in business for 25+ years.

Dust lightly with baby powder to absorb oil so you don't have to wash everyday. I have dark brown hair and as long as I brush it through you won't see any white residue. Do a deep conditioning treatment once a week and you should be in good shape. That's so nice of you to donate your hair, I dye my hair way to much to even think of doing it.

Sometimes baby trims seem to make your hair grow faster. You want to keep it healthy with no split ends ,this is the way to do it. Deep conditioning treatments and a high quality shampoo would be good as well. Shampoos with peppermint and rosemary oil will stimulate the scalp and help with the speed of growth.

Little trims won't get your hair shorter, and it's the only way to avoid split ends. Depending on your age, maybe even your mom or a friend can do it. If your hair is curly (which you sound like it is with your flat iron question), it won't matter if the trim is a little uneven. Some people even say trims make hair appear longer.

If you use Paul Mitchell stuff, like Straight Works balm or Super Skinny Serum, and you dry your hair with a hair dryer and a round brush, it should go straight. Also, if you pull your hair up or back after using the gel, it will go straight.

For shampoo, Dove shampoo and conditioner work really well for me.

I hope this helps. There really is no way to protect your hair from a flat iron. You really shouldn't have to use a flat iron if you use Paul Mitchell stuff.

Use a leave in conditioner on your hair to protect it... Use it just on the last 2 or 3 inches of your hair. The best way to do this is to turn your head upside down and put it on the ends. To protect your hair from the flat iron, use biosilk silk therapy on your hair while it is dry right before straightening.

Hi, first of all trimming your hair does not stunt the growth of it. Your hair grows apporox. 1/2 in. each month.

Best suggestions to keeping it healthy between now and then is using Redken AllSoft Shampoo. It's very good, and it keeps the hair very smooth. If you have the time/money, you may want to go to your local stylist and get a deep conditioner once a month. The deep conditioner has PPT in it which is basically extra protein that will rebuilt the bonds of your hair. This will also help if/when you use a flat iron. Also, when using the flat iron, it can be damaging, but using Matrix Smooth Down will help. It's made to protect your hair against the heat of the flat iron.

Hope this helps.
