Right, let's get to the point! These are my hair goals, in a nutshell -
Current length - 23in. Almost touching my bra-strap.
Mini-goal - To have my shortest layers touch my shoulders.
Dream goal - 30in waist-length hair, high in shine and volume.
Current Routine -
I am currently using Dabur Amla hair oil at least 3 times a week. I only started using it last week. I put it on my hair, massage my scalp, and leave it in overnight. I just love the smell!
I shampoo the next morning with simple Head & Shoulders, however, I am about to switch to Dabur Vatika Henna Cream Conditioning Hair Shampoo, which is recommended on the Amla box.
I just need to buy some first.
I have heard great things about this Amla oil. Many of the ladies in my family swear by it. I'm also swayed by the beautiful Indian ads. I'm such a consumer. Heh!
Oh, I almost forgot. I have ordered one months' supply of Hairtopia to try. Fingers crossed it will work, or at least give my hair a healthy sheen. I'll be happy if my hair grows 1/2 an inch a month. I will measure at the end of every month.!!
Right, this isn't a very good pic, and my hair was quite messy by the end of today, but as you can see, my hair is not all the same length. I don't like the messy layers.. I want a more simple, and sleek look. Grow Grow Grow!!

Yesterday, I bought another bottle of Amla oil, and 2 bottles of Vatika henna cream conditioning shampoo 
I thought I ought to stock up so I won't run out any time soon. I just oiled my hair for today, actually. Tomorrow morning, I will use the shampoo for the first time.
I'm so enthusiastic for my hair to grow. I hope my Hairtopia won't take too long to arrive in the post!

Thanks for the support, Mike My hair looks rather messy there, really, what with the damn layers.

I never go out like that, without my extensions in haha.
Right, today I tried my Vatika henna cream conditioning shampoo for the first time. I used it to wash the Amla oil from my hair, and it smelt gorgeous and herbaly, and my hair generally feels good.
I've decided, from today, not to straighten my hair.. For a long time. Also, when I do use the blow-drier, I will use the coolest setting to half-dry it, then air-dry it the rest.
I just bought 'Vitamins for Hair' from Holland and Barrett. It contains all the vitamins needed for optimum hairgrowth and condition, including beta carotene, biotin, zinc, copper, and quite a few others.
Tonight, I am going to dye my hair with L'Oreal Paris Feria colour 3d in 'blackest black'. I'm mainly doing this so that I will notice the new growth when it comes through. The dye will act as a marker, so to speak.
ALSO ALSO, I was just in my local hair/extension/braiding shop, and I'm so tempted to buy some new long long black extensions.. I don't know if 24" will be too long, but that's the maximum length they have. I may request them for Christmas.
Man, I'm such a consumer... Hell, I'm obsessed with my dream of having long hair.

Just for the record, this is how I've been wearing my hair day-to-day lately.
I blanked my face out just 'cause I felt more comfortable doing that. Heh! This is my real length at the moment, but I do wear extensions at the moment, just for more volume until my layers grow out. I don't use heat on my natural hair anymore. Only on the extensions, which I've been curling lately.

I'm really shocked right now. Today I decided to examine my hair to see if I could see any change in the colour at the roots, indicating growth.. However, I made a more shocking discovery - There were NEW hairs. Everywhere. Like, brand new hair. I can't believe it.
They are soft, and 3/4in in length.
I am THRILLED. It shows me that the Hairtopia is doing it's job. This is a clear indicator that my hair has grown 3/4in since I started taking it. Mind you, I was also using other hair vitamins before I started the course. My hairline has also "filled" out.
I'm definitely continuing with these
