My Journey

I would love to be able to tell you that there is some miracle quick fix, but the truth is, gaining healthy dreamy hair is a long process that you have to be dedicated to. 

I have documented my personal story below...

​

What went wrong 

• I was using hair spray

• I was bleaching my hair

• I was using the wrong hair brush

• I was washing my hair daily

• I was overusing heat

• I was generally neglecting my hair with no understanding of why my hair wouldn't grow.

​

This left me with short, broken, dry, frazzled, lifeless hair. I was self conscious & miserable.

So I decided to make a change & see my hair like a fitness journey. 

I researched & tried multiple products, serums, home remedies, tablets & this is what worked for me (and since, what has worked for my clients).

​

My tried & tested regime

• The first and most important thing - I stopped washing my hair. I only washed my hair once a month for the first 12 months. This ensured that all my natural oils fed & nourished my hair. 

• I had my hair trimmed every 6 weeks. Just like cutting the grass you need to skim the ends to encourage growth.

• I didn't have my hair coloured for over a year.

• On wash days I used home-made rice water - yes I literally boiled rice in a pan, saved the water and then poured it over my hair - It stank - but it worked (luckily for you lot I have developed a mixture you can readily buy and smells like roses)

• I stopped going to bed with wet hair

• I stopped tying my hair up when wet

• I stopped using heat completely for the first 12 months. 

• For special occasions (weddings etc) I would slick back my hair using my natural grease and then use a clip in pony tail, I bought a cheap weft to make as a messy bun, I bought braided hair bands and sometimes even a wig. 

• I bought and used a silk pillow case - and I would not and still won't sleep on anything else (plus it has great benefits for your skin)

• I brushed my hair twice a day 

• I couldn't find a brush that really helped my hair - so I used a standard paddle brush - And this is where the Hairbrush of Dreams was really born. 

​

So realistically I didn't do a huge amount, I didn't spend loads of money (because I couldn't) & I found what really worked for me.

And that formula has now helped & changed the lives of many. 

It's important to know that this journey was not quick. It took me close to 3 years to see these kind of results. See photos of my journey below... they're not pretty but this is the reality & why I am so passionate about a good honest hair regime.
