Hair Products Are Not Magic!

No they are not!  I use to think so.  I thought if I have the right hair product, my hair will grow to phenomenal lengths.  NOT!  Well I haven't found a miracle in a bottle that did it for me. 

Now dont get me wrong, using the wrong product will mess you up and give you a set back that may just make you cut all your hair off; but I havent found a product so great and glorious that will grow my hair without any effort at all. 

There are some better products for my hair.  Products that do not have alcohol of any kind are better than most for me.  I stress, "for me".   I was on this kick for a little while that all hair products with petroleum and mineral oil were the devil and trying to destroy my hair.  I tried to do the organic hair product thing.  Some were good.  Some were not.  I love just about any organic oil for my hair.  My hair really responds well  to coconut oil.  (Oh my beloved coconut oil. I will never turn from thee. LOL!).  Anywho, I dont have a problem with sulfate shampoo's.  They do not break or dry out my hair.  Mineral and petroleum products are not the devil.  I use Kera Care and Silk elements conditioners; which contain mineral oil and I haven't any negative issues with these.  I just avoid mineral and petroleum products that are not rinse out conditioners.  When my hair was it's longest as a child my mom used water and Dax grease.  That's it.

I contribute my growth to not using blow dryers and other heat appliances.   I keep my hair in protective styles.  Any style that will protect the ends of my hair and stay neat for at least four days.  Styles like a bun, french twist or wigs.  I moisturized my hair with a water based moisturizer and seal with coconut oil daily.  Oh yeah, vitamins.  The right vitamins and nutrition will help hair growth.  Well at least it did for me.    Great growth.  I'm happy.  No magic hair products.
