But if you are like me keep your finger on the pulse of things happening in the hair blogger/vlogger world, you too have noticed major increases in the amount of growth aid discussions going on. I've rounded up some blogger and vlogger sources that have been testing out some growth aids that are currently popular.
What's been popular lately?
The Inversion Method - I first heard about it on youtube when
LongNhealthy(
here too),
DessyGT and
JourneyToWaistlength posted their video results after doing the inversion method for 7 days straight. And each of them got at least an inch in that time frame. What is the Inversion Method, you ask? Essentially you commit to daily scalp messages for seven days straight and you must do this with your head upside down. It sounds easy enough, right? A part of me definitely wants to give this a try because who doesn't want an extra inch of hair after just 7 days, but the other part of me just doesn't have the motivation to actually commit to that. Right now, my focus is on my ends -- not growth, so maybe after my ends are in better shape, I'll give this one a try.
Hairfinity - It is a hair growth supplement and
Longing4Length was the first place that I saw this product mentioned. At first I thought ok, just another hair growth concoction, but with celebrity endorsements from the likes of
Keshia Knight Pulliam and Porshia Williams (Stewart), two women with beautiful hair, it certainly made me do a double take. My
cousin just let me know that she ordered some, so I'll be checking in on her impressions of it after she's used it for about a month.
Bamboo Tea - I like tea, but for whatever reason
bamboo tea sounds like it would not taste very good. But with benefits like promoting hair and nail growth, I can see why some are interested. It's a fairly rare tea type, so most of us would have to purchase it online. But if you want to see what other hair journeyers have to say about this growth aid, check out
this before/
after and
this before/
after.
And I'll give an honorable mention to
Sulphur Mixes, because the girl who started this trend got a ridiculous amount of hair growth in one year, but personally the possible side effects are too much for me to really give that much attention.
Here is a link to her website and her growth results from using a sulphur mix. She sells her own version now, but you can buy sulphur based growth aids in several other places as well.
While none of these have led me to change my no growth aid rule as yet, I still enjoy watching everyone else work with it and share their results.
