If you're blessed with beautiful long locks, you may have found that long hair can be quite a job, especially in the morning. In addition, you may sometimes wonder which shampoo is best for your hair type. With curls it is perhaps a bit obvious which products are suitable: “curl shampoo” (for example). But long hair, like curly hair, is a category of its own, with an extensive "manual." Below we will explain everything about it, so that you will know exactly how to handle it!
In addition to having long hair, there is of course also the pursuit of long hair. So basically: stimulating hair growth. Can you make your hair grow faster and if so: How do you go about it?
If you have long hair there are two major challenges. How do you keep those long locks from crown to tip in top condition? Without hair breakage or split ends. And how do you keep your hair looking voluminous? Long hair is heavier and you naturally want to prevent your hair from hanging limply along your face.
How you keep long hair healthy depends for the most part on the products you do (or don't) use. But there are also a number of general tips (which apply to almost every hair type) that can play a major role. We have listed these tips for you below. Some tips might be old news to you, but better save than sorry :) :
You are on the page with shampoos for long hair, so all shampoos on this page are suitable for long hair. With long hair it is important that you use a lightweight (mild) shampoo. You want to prevent your hair from losing volume because your hair is aggravated and therefore hangs straight along your face. What you can pay particular attention to is avoiding heavy fats such as coconut fat. castor oil and olive oil. Below you will find three good options especially for long hair:
Schwarzkopf Mad About Lengths Split Ends
Redken Extreme Length With Biotin
First of all, just like with shampoo, it is best to use a light conditioner. In addition, it is important to mention that with long hair you really only apply the conditioner in the tips. A conditioner is already quite aggravating, because it is an intense diet. Below are a few good options:
L'Oreal SE Pro Longer Conditioner
Redken Extreme Length Conditioner With Biotin
Maria Nila Palett Pure Volume Conditioner
We strongly recommend a hair oil for long hair. A hair oil or hair serum keeps the length and especially the tips of the hair healthy and prevents hair breakage or split ends. If you are injured with long locks, you also want to let them shine! hair oils can also stimulate hair growth. For example, you can massage your scalp with a nourishing oil before showering.
Biosilk Silk Therapy Original Treatment
Goldwell Dual Senses Just Smooth Taming Oil
CHI Aloe Vera Curls Defined Oil
First of all: This may have to do with genetic determination. The maximum length of your hair is genetically determined. But don't worry! This does not have to be the case at all. We have a checklist that you can go through to see if there is still something that will give you your long locks!
If you want to grow your hair, it depends on the condition of your hair how often you have to have the ends cut off at the hairdresser. If you have naturally sensitive hair that breaks off quickly, you will have to cut the ends off more often. Then you're good with a hairdresser's appointment every 8 weeks. However, if you have strong, thick hair, you can come back every 10 weeks.

These are all vitamins found in your daily diet, which is why diet is such an important factor when it comes to the condition of your hair.

But hair vitamins mainly work if you are deficient in something. And we always recommend to assess the result after the first 2 or 3 months. Only then will you see real results.
