HOW TO GROW YOUR HAIR OUT LONG
A common misconception is that if you want long hair, you shouldn’t get your hair cut. We are here to tell you the opposite: if you want long, luscious hair, you should be getting a trim regularly to keep your hair healthy! Here’s how to get the long hair of your dreams:
Why You Should Get Trims Regularly:
Your hair splits at the ends and if you do not come in for regular trims, those split ends will continue to go up the shaft of your hair. Hair grows from the root, but if your hair is breaking and splitting at the ends, you will not see your hair length improving, as unhealthy hair does not grow properly. Split ends are the number one reason for stopping hair growth! Coming in for regular trims (about every six to eight weeks) ensures your split ends will be cut off and leave you with healthy hair that can grow!
Tips To Achieve Long, Healthy Hair:
Treat Your Hair! Besides getting those regular trims, when you come in for your hair service, you can ask to add on our Botanical Treatment! This treatment is done in the salon and it is going to repair all three layers of your hair, repairing any damage done from colouring or the environment and sealing those split ends! Something you can do at home between trims is use the Botanical Repair Overnight Serum every night - this is going to repair your split ends by 84%. Check out this bond-building repair formula that works while you sleep! Apply this to your lengths and ends at bedtime (don’t rinse it out) and wake up and see the instant results.
Protect The Length You Have! The world is full of things that can damage your locks - the sun, poor quality shampoos, heat styling, being too harsh on wet hair, and using too-tight ponytails. Depending on your lifestyle, you probably run into at least a couple of these concerns on your road to long hair. Protecting between your treatments and trims is also crucial! If you spend long hours in the sun - think gardening, going to the cottage, or working outside - you need to treat your hair with UV protection! Just like your skin needs sunscreen, so does your hair - and our Sun Care Protective Hair Veil does just that with a lightweight spray-on application. Protecting your hair when heat-styling is equally important - our Heat Relief also provides instant protection up to 450 degrees.
Impatient? Add instant length with tape-in or hand-tied extensions! Contrary to popular belief, extensions do not damage your hair and can help greatly with the grow out process - plus, they’re reusable for 6+ months when cared for properly! Our Aveda-exclusive extensions have over 50 shades that are colour-matched to natural hair and Aveda hair colour. We have your perfect match!
