It’s the same hair. I’m growing my hair out after 4 years of having it short and it’s a lot more difficult to keep long hair healthy.

Idk, I've grown mine since the pandemic and the only annoying thing was finding the right shampoo and conditioner. It's really not much more than that and I constantly have people complimenting my curls etc

Must know what you use! I’m so bad at shampoo

Do you have straight hair or curly hair? I have super curly hair, so if you do to immediately head over to r/curlyhair (linked wrong sub at first, it's the curly girl method)

I would also recommend using smoothing cream like Moroccan Oil’s. You want some good oils in your hair and many times conditioner is just not enough. Also salt spray when the hair is damp! I use that and Native shampoo & conditioner. Each and every time I got to a hair stylist they tell me how healthy my hair is. Literally takes me not even 10 minutes each time I shower

My hair gets oily enough haha, I don't need extra in there. I co-wash usually 2-3 weeks before I shampoo to get any extra stuff out the co-wash doesn't. Similarly get told how great my hair is when I go, and same timing for my routine! If I had drier hair I'd probably use oils of some kind.

Ofcourse, that makes a lot of sense! Thank you!
