Below are 5 effective products to help you grow long, healthy hair after experiencing damage!
Dark and Lovely Length Retention Super Softening Hair Butter
With hydrating water, growth promoting Guarana seed, and hair softening coconut oil, this hair butter does a great of softening and adding shine to hair that has been damaged by heat, breakage, and protein overload.
Damaged hair tends to be so dry, frizzy, and dull that no matter how you style it, it looks unhealthy.

It will also help you will retain length as it prevents hair breakage!

For best results, evenly distribute through wet hair, let set for 5 minutes, and then rinse!
Hair manipulation is usually the cause of crazy breakage, thinning, and shedding. This is why low manipulation protective styles are always the best option. My personal favorite is the wash and go because the less manipulation, the more growth. All you have to do is wash, moisturize and define your curls and/or coils, and go!
As I Am Curling Jelly is the perfect product for this. It not only smells delicious, but it heavy enough to define the thickest curls and coils, but light enough to avoid weighing down your hair. Plus, it has Aloe Vera and Sugar Beetroot–both of which prevent hair loss.
Apply to sectioned off hair after a great condition and detangle, and watch your frizz disappear and curls/coils stay defined all day.
Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Ginger Repairing Shampoo
Awapuhi Ginger is a plant in the ginger and tumeric family that is coned shaped and like many plants, it’s benefits are found in it’s juice. While it mostly benefits physical health, it also has frizz-fighting properties that also bring out a natural shine and luster in your hair.
The Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Ginger Repairing Shampoo does just what you expect it to do: repair. It minimizes frizz, brings life to dull hair, prevents dryness and promotes moisture, and adds a natural shine to your hair. The most important part is the moisture; dry, brittle hair will always lead to breakage which will be detrimental to your growing process.
The best part? You only need a few drops of product to get a really rich lather! Plus, it is gentle enough to use a few times a week.
Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer
Split ends are sheer evil. They have the ability to split up all the way to your root, leading to large amounts of your hair being cut off. That is definitely going to be a huge setback when growing your hair!
So what are your options? Unfortunately, you’re going to still have to get a trim. However, if you caught the problem early on, you can solve it by implementing regular trims into your hair-care routine and trying out Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer for a quick solution and preventive measure.
Smoothing a pea sized amount of the reconstructing lotion through your ends will help tame and bind together frayed and split ends.
The Monoi oil repairs the damage while Carob seed extract binds hair together, and Babassu oil strengthens the hair strands after they’ve been re-connected. So basically, it is a 3 in 1 product that has even more benefits that will contribute to long, healthy hair growth!
