Finally taking my hair growth seriously—I’m on a mission to grow my hair down to my bum, and I will make it happen! This is officially my natural hair growth journey to bum length 🙂‍↕️ The key? A simple, consistent routine that’s easy to maintain: ✨ Protective Style: MINI BRAIDS — my hair thrives in lightweight, low-manipulation styles. ✨ Daily: Sleep in my bonnet (non-negotiable). ✨ Weekly Routine: • Refresh + moisturize my hair & scalp every 3 days (2-3x weekly). • Followed by 5 mins of scalp massage while hanging upside down. ✨ Products I’m Using: • DIY scalp balm • Leave-in conditioner spray (Currently @Carol’s Daughter ) • Leave-in conditioner cream (Currently @Aveda ) • DIY whipped shea butter • DIY hair growth oil ✨ Monthly Routine: • Wash + deep condition every 2 weeks using a good shampoo & the “Cardi B Hair Mask” for strength. ✨ Most Important Rules: • Protective styles stay in for 4-6 weeks MAX—no matter how good they still look. This prevents buildup that can lead to breakage when taking them down. • I’ll also be trimming my dead ends regularly (still deciding on the time frame) to keep my hair healthy and prevent split ends from traveling up. ✨ Tracking Progress: • I’ll be doing monthly length checks to document my growth! Let’s see how long this hair can get!
