For years, I thought hair care was just shampoo and conditioner — whatever Mom picked up! No fancy products, no routine, just rolling out of bed and hoping for the best. But wow, did I learn that hair care deserves just as much love as skin or body care.

Here's how I treat my hair wash days now — and trust me, it's made a huge difference in my hair growth and shine!

Pre-Wash Magic: I start by massaging pre-wash oil into my scalp and leave it on for 3-4 hours. My favorite? Mielle's Rosemary Oil — it's seriously helped my hair grow like crazy! For my mid-lengths and ends, I smooth on argan oil to boost shine.

Shampoo, But Smart: When it's shower time, I shampoo only my roots — twice. The first wash clears out oils and buildup, and the second wash lets the shampoo really nourish my scalp.

Mask It Up: Before conditioning, I apply a hair mask on my mid-lengths and ends. I leave it for about 5-10 minutes depending on the mask — it's like a mini spa treatment for my hair!

Condition With Care: After rinsing the mask, I condition my mid-lengths and ends for 3-5 minutes to seal in moisture and softness.

This routine has been a game changer for my hair's health and growth. Everyone's hair is unique, but this simple approach could work wonders for you too!
