Real Life: Beauty School

It has been forever since I posted last so I thought I would give you all an update. Beauty School is CRAZY! You learn secrets of the trade at a rapid fire pace at the begining and then end up reliving highschool by the end! Well it is almost the end and I am working on a new portfolio since the last one got shut down. Yes. It was shut down...due to a few legal techinicalities. Anyway I have a few things I want to share with you about hair growth and color since my most recent incedent at school involves a pair of shears and another student. Oh and when you go to beauty school you will inevitably get your hair cut and colored by another student because your excited and inexperienced and are in a hurry to change up your style. WARNING: DO NOT LET FELLOW STUDENTS CUT YOUR HAIR (unless its just a trim).
    Recently, we just accepted new students and within the four weeks that they are in the intro class their hair color has gone from BLACK to COPPER in a period of just a few hours...scary (but funny) now on to the nitty gritty, the stuff your dying to know.

How To Make Your Hair Grow Longer

You just got a haircut and the stylist took a little too much length off. Well here's a few things that you can do to help your hair grow. Here is God's honest truth: There is no miracle product that can make your hair grow faster. Also, trimming your split ends will not make your hair grow faster. The reason for this is that your hair is actually dead. The only active part of the hair is the folicle and the hair shaft that pushes the hair out of the skin. Once its out, the hair is no longer "living". With that in mind, here is how hair grows: hair is basically harden Keratin which is basically a protein that your body makes naturally and hardens to form hair strand. Your nails are also made up of Keratin as well. =)

In order for your hair to grow you must have a high intake of protein, vitamins, and minerals. This is what is the basic make up of hair and provides it with nourishment to grow.

Now the average person's hair grows about a half an inch a month. So if you have two inches of your natural growth showing, that means the last time you have colored your hair was roughly 4 months ago. And its probably time for a retouch.

So now you can calculate about how long its going to take to grow back the hair that your stylist chopped off. Another tip is to take a multivitamin, that will also help your nails grow as well.

I hope this sheds a little bit of light and cuts out the bull when it comes to getting your hair to grow faster.

Yours~
