A BEAUTY enthusiast in her forties has revealed the washing routine that helped her hair grow longer than ever.

Two budget-friendly products and an expensive mask are among her hair care staples.

HAIR HERO

Her brunette locks looked voluminous and healthy when she slicked them back.

“Usually I get bored and cut out everything and then regret it. My goal is the tailbone.”

The beauty fan revealed the selection of products she used to achieve her impressive hair growth.

“My routine is to wash once a week with Head n Shoulders coconut,” she said.

“Save the combed coconut conditioner in the shower and let it air dry.

“I use k18 once a month and Coco & Eve hair mask once a week.

“On non-wash days, I refresh with Garnier spray on leave-in conditioner to get rid of my waves.”

FABULOUS FRUIT

Many Redditors upvoted the post and said they were eager to try the products themselves.

According to Health LineResearch has found that coconut oil can improve hair and scalp health, but the ingredient has not been proven to promote growth.

Repairing split ends, reducing dandruff and hydrating your locks are among the benefits of using it on your locks.
