School is going to be starting in 2 months and I was wanting my hair to be longer by then. Does anyone know of a recipe,shampoo/conditioner,or book I can use to make my hair grow faster and longer? Please don’t say hair extensions,wait until it grows on its own, there isn’t anything, or anything like that. Please help.

Hair products don’t do that for your hair. Shampoos & conditioners are just ‘window’ treatment, and are meant to clean and condition processed hair.

It may grow very slowly or none at all if you’ve straightened your hair in the past.

Foods for Healthy Hair – the website had moved.

http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healthie…

Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains all supply B-complex vitamins, like biotin, folic acid and vitamin B12, as well as vitamin A, copper and zinc, which are all necessary for remedying dry, brittle hair and nourishing a healthy scalp. Some prime examples of foods that contain these nutrients for healthy hair include:
·                     Folic Acid – asparagus, beets, broccoli, avocados, Brussels sprouts, beans, chickpeas, soybeans, lentils, oranges, fresh peas, turkey and spinach.
·                     Biotin – cauliflower, liver, salmon, carrots, bananas, cereals, yeast, and soy flour. Keep in mind that biotin content is reduced when food is cooked or preserved.
·                     Vitamin B12 – foods rich in vitamin B12 include animal protein (such as beef, lamb, and veal), clams and oysters, liver, fish, milk, and egg yolks.
•Vitamin A – butter, egg yolks, fish, fortified milk, organ meats (such as liver), and dark green, orange, red, and yellow fruits and vegetables, which all contain beta-carotene.
•Copper – oysters and other shellfish, whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes, and organ meats are good sources of copper. Dark leafy greens, dried fruits such as prunes, cocoa, black pepper, and yeast are also sources of copper in the diet.
•Zinc – beef, eggs, liver, pork, poultry, and oysters. Also is also abundant in other high-protein foods, like cheese, legumes and nuts.
If having a lush, beautiful mane of healthy hair is important to you, don’t just look to hot oil treatments and shine emollients. Eat these foods for healthy hair and say “bye-bye” to bad hair days.

Buy some shikakai powder from the market. Powder some green grams and fenugreek (methi) seeds. Mix two portions of shikakai powder, one portion of green gram flour and half portion of Fenugreek powder and keep it. When required, mix a tablespoon of this mixture in the white of an egg and use it as a shampoo. It does not lather like a soap, or shampoo, but cleanses the hair.

1/4 cup grated soap (castile soap is a common choice)
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 tsp olive oil
2 tablespoons glycerine
~5 drops essential oil (optional, for fragrance or therapeutic properties)
Let’s Make Shampoo!
Dissolve the soap in the hot water.

Stir in the olive oil. You can substitute another vegetable oil if you like, but olive oil is generally accepted as healthy for skin and hair.

Add the glycerine and any essential oils you might want. Typical essential oils would include lavender, peppermint, or citrus.
You can use this shampoo as-is or as a base for specialized recipes for oily hair, dry hair, dandruff, etc.

I haven’t but look at this site:

my new favorite products are actually just a shampoo and conditioner.

Paul mitchell instant moisture shampoo: for me it helps with definition, adds shine/reveals natural shine. i do not detangle with shampoo ever!! that’s a recipe for disaster. i use it only to cleanse my hair and scalp and save any detangling for the conditioner.

Rusk sensories calm conditioner: for me it defines, elongates/less shrinkage when used with comb then finger combed through (if i use a denman type brush then i have more shrinkage) , adds/reveals natural shine/sheen.

no other product added

thanks for watching!

i have been trying the graphite mix and i cant get it to stay in the skin.

straight up India Ink. Cheap, arts supply store, permanent, prison approved.

Just a quick video on how I wash my makeup brushes.

What I use:
Loreal Kids Extra Gentle 2 in 1 Shampoo
or Homemade Brush Cleanser (link below to the video I used to make mine)
Makeup brushes (of course!)
Wash cloth or any other towel
Water! lol

-If you don’t have a brush cleanser, I would definitely suggest using a baby shampoo, just do NOT use a hand soap, it doesn’t work nearly as well! The shampoo I’m using is a baby shampoo that is 2 in 1, meaning it has conditioner in it as well, so that’s why I use this shampoo, because it at least has a conditioner in it as well.

Recipe from EnkoreMakeup for his homemade brush cleanser:
-Bowl
-Something to stir with
-1 cup distilled or purified water
-1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
-1/2 tablespoon dish soap
-1/2 tablespoon baby shampoo
-1 tablespoon leave-in conditioner (spray-on kind)
-Stir gently all together to mix and blend
-Pour the mixture into an empty bottle

(I do not take credit for this recipe whatsoever, the entire thing is credited to him.)
