Green House Effect for growing hair

For the Ladies!!!

I woke up one day to Shoulder length hair, without trying hard, so I've decided to task myself by taking better care of my hair, growing it and slowing down on weaves, as I wasn't born with a weave in my hair! I also believe if I spent as much money as I have spent on my various weaves ( I have over 14 of different types from Indian to Brazilian to Mongolian to Peruvian) i'd have opened a hair store.
So, I've been carrying my own hair for days and enjoying the simple things of life.
I have to warn though that growing your hair is a journey and you need to put in time, energy and patience if you want to see some beautiful locks on your head. You need to find the techniques that work for you and the products that enable your hair to grow healthily.

Whilst researching ( I like researching stuff, I don't think I use anything without knowing if it works, the side effects, what to expect whilst using it etc) and I came upon a very interesting hair growthe techniques on one of the hair forums I lurk on.

The Green House Effect is a technique that aids in promoting hair growth by creating a natural, warm, steamy environment that enables the natural oils from your scalp to come out and help your hair grow. It is extremely good for people with dry, brittle hair as it helps stimulate moisture.

So, how do you do this? Well, it's very easy.

• Apply a natural oil to your hair- I currently use grapeseed oil on mine as it's not too oily and moisturizes and seals your hair at the same time. Some other good oils you can use are castor oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, olive oil, coconut oil etc.
• Wrap your hair in a showercap or plastic bag and seal so there are no holes or openings for air to escape.
• Tie a scarf over the plastic bag on your head and go to bed.
• In the morning, when you take off the scarf and plastic bag, your hair will be very moistened and a little bit damp. This will air dry itself within 10-20 minutes.
• Your hair will not only be soft and manageable, your scalp will feel very stimulated, thus improving hair growth. Some ladies in the hair forums swear they experienced 1 to 1 1/2 inches of growth in a month (and we are not talking of white hair) which is a great triuph!
• Aim to do this no more than 3 or 4 times a week and try not to use too much of your oil as it can lead to overload of oils as your hair thrives better when your scalp is clean.
