My Hair Hasn’t Grown Longer in 5 Months : Reader Query + Solution

reader query

Hi Lancy,

Today I am writing to you regarding my hair. 

I have read your hair journey on your blog and feel very fascinated by it.

I am 15 years old and according to my mum, I have had very fast hair growth ever since I was born; she would get my head shaved and the next day my scalp would start to go black with hair. (She had very long hair like yours too) My mom was in charge of my hair until a few years back. She’d oil my hair, trim my hair, wash my hair etc. and it was in good form.

But ever since I have started to do these things my self (except trimming, I can’t bear to have scissors near my hair myself) and responsibilities have increased, my hair growth and health has decreased a lot. It got way to many split ends and mild hair fall which have thankfully decreased and my hair has become dry, dull and thin. I am in Australia most of the time thus can’t do many herbal & desi treatments. But I recently came back to Pakistan for a family wedding and have had time to look after my hair a bit.

I got a hair crimper and straightener about a year ago, and after using it a few times my hair became quite dry and hair fall increased drastically. I have never used another heat styling tool to date no matter how much I love straight and crimped hair (sigh!) But it has gotten a bit better now.

I got this hair oil recently (An herbal oil from India!) which I researched before using, and according to a 30 minute documentary and multiple reviews, it uses this ancient Indian method called “Kshir pak vidhi” ( maybe you’ve heard about it) and has 20 or so herbs and nutrients. It also helps with hair growth, dandruff, infections, softness and thickness of hair.

I have used it a few times and it gave me smoother hair and I noticed a slight difference in my braid; that is it went thicker (it use to be quite thin texture wise and visibly)

But my hair hasn’t grown any longer in the past 4-5 months.

– I have eaten eggs all my life and love them to this date thank fully.

– I oil my hair every week now.

– I let my hair air dry all the time and

– Haven’t trimmed it more than half an inch because of split ends.

– I get 7-8 hours of sleep everyday.

– My eating routine is okay as well.

As far as the hair brushing is concerned I avoid brushing my hair while it’s wet. I have tried different types of combs but I don’t know why but my hair just can’t get detangled without a hair brush and not just the plastic one but the one that has the silver pins. Is this bad for my hair and do you have any other way of detangling hair?

I want to grow my hair as long and healthy as yours and any help would be greatly appreciated. I read on your blog that you sometimes provide people with guide to long hair or something as well? (can I get one?)

I can’t wait for you to email back. I feel like discovering your website was a miracle for me as I actually went on to read a review on the fair and lovely face wash and came across your hair journey.

Sorry for the really long email but I need as much help as I can get.

Thank you so so so much for even reading this email.

Once again thank you in advanced.

Kind regards,
Maira.S

reader query

Hello Lancy!

This is Sumalatha. I am very happy about your product – the MABH Fast Growth Hair Oil. I ordered for the 3rd bottle and going to try for my 1.8 years old girl baby also. My query – I am using your oil on alternative days (night application) and hair fall stops. But I have thin hair; Give me some tips to grow my hair thick. Apart from this I am using a serum (from a herbal brand) on alternative days after hair wash and also a hair pack from the very same brand. After hair wash my hair texture gets very rough though. Can I use any conditioner?

Thanks for your time. Waiting for your reply!

Regards,
Sumalatha

Hair Care Regime to Regain Hair after Hair Thinning : Reader Query

reader query

Hi Lancy,

I came across your blog yesterday. I am doing PhD (26 years old) and hence mostly under work stress and personal stress. I have been suffering form hairloss from years now. I tried every possible things. Doctors prescribed me Minidoxil which did not work well for me. I also read that it is not safe. Actually I do not understand why doctors says no to oil hair. That is really strange.

I have seen you have put lot of efforts for the blog. I have ordered MABH hair oil after reading good reviews across and also after seeing your beautiful hair. I had long hair (up til hips) in my chilhood and it was not very thick but of moderate thickness. I used to put 2 hair plaits while goin to school. But now I have hair remaining which used to form one plait on one side. I mean to say half of what I had. For some reason I had to cut my hair and it never reached that hair length.

I have ordered MABH hair oil today and I am eagerly waiting for it. Earlier I regularly oiled hair but now I do not do much. I tried many oils but none did wonders.

I am presently using Tresseme Hairfall control shampoo and conditioner. I am also using Trichup serum. I have gone across your blog and there is so much to read that I do not know finally what to follow.

Can you please tell a proper regime to be followed form the start with details. I am little confused. Most products are SLS and silicone based shampoo. Even Tressemme is one of them. Can you recommend me some really good products. I have oily scalp, frizzy type hair. I wonder how scalp is oily and strand frizzy.

I will list few things which I have planned to add to my hair care. They are..

1. Oil my hair at least once a week leaving it overnight
2. I have to take biotin tablets
3. Increase protein intake (egg, fish, paneer etc)

Waiting for your reply.

Regards,
Sangeeta.
