Hair growth

Hello!

 

i need recommendations on ways to help my hair. Long story short, i have trichotillomania (trich), which is a hair pulling disorder. Along with working on reducing urges to pull, i need a better hair care routine as i am trying to grow my hair back out. I have thick curly hair that is lightened blonde every 3-4 months, and it is thinned/layered/shortened due to pulling in some areas which is what I’d like to fix. 

I really like the amika The Kure Intense Bond Repair Hair Mask along with the shampoo & conditioner, but I feel like there may be other products that can help me better. 

Re: Hair growth

@Grahkii I currently cut about 8 inches myself to about chin length myself due to thinning after losing a lot of hair on a medication I've been on and off on. I'm so sorry you're going through it! First and foremost I would say Mindoxidil sprays used regularly truly do help. Products with rosemary like BondiBoost Intensive Daily Scalp Spray for Thinning Hair ​with Rosemary 4.23 oz/ 125 mL truly do help as well in stimulating new growth. I'm also personally a big fan of Davines Energizing Gel 5.07 oz / 150 ml (their entire energizing line is great, I just find the gel very easy to apply).

 

I also lighten my hair (to platinum in my case) and think adding something like K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL or items from the Olaplex line helps a lot to stop breakage on any new growth you may get (I've switched almost entirely to their line in the last couple months and find it helps a lot but would recommend the Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Frizz Control Styling Hair Cream 3.3 oz/ 100 mL in particular). 

 

I hope you find something that helps!
