Tip 28 Retention Not Growth

A lot of marketing is focused on trying to get you to buy products because they will grow your hair. Stop wasting your time looking for a miracle product that's going to grow your hair quicker. Hair growth phases are based on genetics. Why focus on something you can't control?  Instead, focus on length retention. Practice low manipulation, deep conditioning and make sure your hair is well-moisturized. Take care of your ends and the hair that you already have on your head so that you can see longer lengths quicker. Our ends are the oldest and most fragile area of our hair, babying them will ensure less split ends, less hair that has to come off when you trim and more length retention.

  1. Retention, retention, retention. Learning how to maintain the hair I already had was honestly something I never thought about/cared about. I wasn't very knowledgeable about hair care prior to starting my hair journey and year and a half ago - I'd always focused on finding a miracle hair growth product. I've made so much progress just by maintaining what I have.

  2. True.... I agree. This is something I never paid attention to but I now realize that it is important.
