How to grow out your hair!

Hey everyone!
So I was just washing my hair and I realized that I have never done a post about growing out your hair! I have been growing mine out for about a year and a half now and trust me its been difficult!
A few years ago I had hair up to my boobs and I decided I needed a change and so I cut my hair into a bob. Wow, did I ever regret that! Especially since I was just starting to go out with my boyfriend and he was not happy with my cut.
Any who, since then I have tried over and over to grow out my hair but it just won't work! So finally I decided to take matters into my own hands and I started looking up a ton of YouTube videos and reading blogs on how to successfully grow out my hair. I am happy to say that my hair is now a little below my shoulders (yay) and I hope these little tricks and tips will help you out in growing out your hair as well.
Tips and Tricks
1. Always use heat protectant. It's SO important to do this so you can keep your ends healthy and by keeping them healthy you avoid having to cut your split ends
2. Avoid using heat products if possible. I know this is hard to do because I hate my naturally wavy hair and I used to straighten my hair all the time but now if I'm staying home or just running and getting some errands I don't do anything to my hair.
3. Use deep conditioners. I use one almost everyday instead of using conditioner and it has transformed my hair back like it used to look like.
4. Take Biotin. I just started taking 1000mg of Biotin everyday and it already feels like my hair is starting to grow. I bought A container of it at Shoppers Drug Mart for 10$ and it has 100 pills and you only take one a day.
5. Get a trim when necessary. I always try to avoid going to get my hair trimmed because I'm trying to grow it out but I'm doing more damage because the split end rises up the hair follicle and so it makes the hairdresser cut more inches off then I would have liked. I usually wait 6 months before getting my hair done but everyone has different hair. If it feels like you need a trim get one.
6. Exercise. This has helped my hair growth (and body) tremendously.
Well I hope this has helped a bit. Hair growth can be a long process and I know it can be frustrating. All you need is time and taking good care of your hair.
