Summary of How We Grew Her Hair 12 INCHES

In the video "How We Grew Her Hair 12 INCHES," the presenters share effective strategies and techniques for promoting hair growth, particularly focusing on the journey of co-founder Leslie, who successfully grew her hair from shoulder length to significantly longer. The key points discussed include:

Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques:

• Adjusting Trim Schedule:
  • Avoid frequent trims; Leslie moved to trimming every 6 months instead of every 6 weeks to promote hair growth.
• Understanding Hair Growth:
  • Recognize that hair is already growing; the challenge is to maintain length by ensuring hair health.
• Eliminating Damaging Practices:
  • Reduce heat styling frequency; give hair at least 3 days of rest before using heat again.
  • Always use heat protection when styling hair to prevent damage.

Recommended Products and Routine:

• The Trinity Routine:
  1. For Roots: Use a good shampoo and conditioner to maintain a healthy scalp.
  2. For Mids: Apply leave-in conditioner on damp hair to lock in moisture and prevent dryness.
  3. For Ends: Use a small amount of hair oil on the ends to add shine and polish without making the hair greasy.

Additional Tips:

• Avoid hair growth products marketed towards women that are intended for different types of hair growth (e.g., products for balding men).
• Recognize that healthy hair grows longer; split ends can hinder growth.
• Understand that modern conditioners can hydrate hair, but moisture retention is key to preventing brittleness.

By implementing these strategies and focusing on hair health rather than frequent trims, Leslie was able to achieve significant hair growth.
