I’m 41 & my hair’s longer than it’s been my entire life – I use a $6 shampoo and $2 conditioner but my mask is a splurge
A BEAUTY enthusiast in her forties has revealed the wash routine that helped grow her hair longer than ever.
Two budget-friendly products and a pricey mask are among her haircare staples.
She shared a photo of her almost waist-length locks on Reddit’s Long Hair forum.
HAIR HERO
Her brunette tresses looked voluminous and healthy as she swept it back.
“I’ve never had my hair this long in my entire life (41),” she wrote under the handle Toopuptight.
“I usually get bored and chop it off then regret it. My goal is tailbone.”
The beauty fan revealed the selection of products she used to achieve her impressive hair growth.
“My routine - wash once a week with Head n Shoulders coconut,” she said.
“Sauve coconut conditioner combed through in the shower, let 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 take my waves.”
