You might love your lob to pieces but you also want to grow out your hair before getting hitched, right? This is a problem many brides-to-be face. If you want long and luscious locks for your wedding, follow these simple tips to grow your hair long well before your D-day. In no time, long and lustrous tresses will be yours.
1. Don’t trim your hair every month
You might have heard that trimming your hair often makes it grow faster. While it’s not entirely false, it isn’t completely true, either. Your hair grows approximately half an inch every month and you wouldn’t want to chop off that progress, would you now? But at the same time, if you go without a haircut for a long period of time, the split ends can reach the shaft and break your hair. So, it’s advisable to get a trim only once in at least three months and not more than that!
2. Be kind to your hair
You know your wedding day is approaching and it’s best for you to avoid any harsh chemical products. Shampooing too often can rob off your hair of its natural oils which leads to dryness and breakage. Also, make sure to brush your hair with a bristle brush so that the oil from the roots get distributed to the entire length of your hair and you don’t have to shampoo often.
3. Drink lots of water
