My Journey to Healthy Hair
Welcome to 2025—my healthy hair era! After years of bleaching, coloring, and even adding extensions, I’ve decided to embrace my natural bronde and focus on growing long, healthy hair. I’ve ditched the damage and gone all in on products that promote growth, repair, and shine. Here’s what I’m using on this journey (plus links to shop each product!).

1. Regular Vitamins for Hair Growth
Healthy hair starts from within! My daily regimen includes:
• Biotin 5000 mcg – Shop here
• Nutrafol Hair Growth Vitamins – Shop here
• NAD+ Cell Repair – Shop here
These vitamins support hair growth, repair, and overall health to keep your hair thriving.
2. Pre-Wash Treatments
Before I shampoo, I prep my hair with:
• OGX Extra Strength Damage Remedy + Coconut Miracle Oil – Shop here
• Epres Bond Repair Treatment Concentrate – Shop here
Both of these products target damaged ends to repair bonds, adding volume and shine to your hair as it grows. I switch between the two for the best results!
3. In the Shower
For shampoo and conditioner, I’ve returned to my drugstore roots:
• Pantene Pro-V Miracles Biotin & Collagen Shampoo (Sulfate-Free) – Shop here
• Pantene Pro-V Miracle Rescue Deep Repair Conditioner – Shop hereThese affordable options help restore breakage and damage, especially at the ends.
I also swear by the L’Oreal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water Shine Boost – Shop here. It strengthens strands, adds shine, and leaves my hair 15x stronger without weighing it down. Just massage into wet hair for 8 seconds and rinse (it warms up—don’t freak out!).
4. Scalp Care
Healthy hair starts at the root! Here’s what I use for scalp treatments:
• Divi Scalp Serum with Peppermint – Shop here
• Organic Castor Oil – Shop here
Massaging these into my scalp promotes blood flow and encourages hair growth.
5. Deep Conditioning
My go-to for extra moisture is the Pantene Miracle Rescue Deep Conditioning Mask – Shop here. It smells amazing and gives salon-worthy results without the hefty price tag.
6. Leave-In Conditioner
When my hair is wet, I use the L’Oreal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge Leave-In Conditioner – Shop here.
It strengthens damaged hair while keeping it soft and manageable.
Final Thoughts
If you’re on a hair growth journey, remember to focus on both root health and repairing damage to your current hair. These products have been game-changers for me—and the best part? They don’t break the bank. Here’s to long, healthy, shiny hair in 2025!
