I Grew My Hair Out For A Year — Here's Everything I Learned About Keeping It Healthy

I also spoke to Amanda Munoz — a professional hair stylist who has been doing hair for the last eight years (including mine) — about how to keep your hair healthy in order for it to grow.

"I think there are a couple of common mistakes we make," Amanda told BuzzFeed. "One is using too high of a heat setting on our hot tools. Another is not getting consistent trims, which should be roughly every four to eight weeks. And if we’re talking color, constantly overlapping new color on top of previously colored or chemically serviced hair can definitely cause unwanted damage that over time will start to cause breakage."

This Celebrity Makeup Artist Shared Her Secrets For Getting The Best Makeup Contour, And I Learned So Much

"Going light on your foundation is super important; otherwise, it'll look cakey. And I don't put it directly under my eye because I don't want a ton of product there that will crease easily," she said, adding, "You naturally have creases under your eyes, so the more product you have there, it will move into those creases and make you look older. If it's a super-drying product, it's going to dehydrate your skin and pull all of the water out, and then you'll look old too."

People Are Sharing The Worst Job Interview Experience They Ever Had, And I Truly Would Have Walked Out On Most Of These

11. "Part way through the interview, the boss had something come up and got her assistant to show me around while she was busy. As soon as we were out of earshot, this guy tells me to get out while I can."

"Apparently, the boss was a tyrant on a sinking ship, and either that was true and I should leave, or this guy is insane and I should leave. So in the second part of the interview, I declined the offer.

That set the boss off like a firework, which made me think the guy's warning was sincere. It was the first time I'd turned down a job and felt kinda empowering so her venom didn't stick."

But Dr. Mariwalla also explained that your mileage may vary, depending on your skin tone and dryness level. She also advised to keep it to your body, not your face — and to use it occasionally or as needed, as opposed to daily.

“If your skin is very dry, I would recommend it and it should be okay as a rescue [step]. But I would not rely on this as a daily routine," Dr. Mariwalla told BuzzFeed. "Keep in mind that different skin tones have more tightly-compacted keratinocytes or skin cells, and that can influence dryness."

She continued: "If you have oily skin, this could potentially be comedogenic and give you breakouts," Dr. Mariwalla said. "I also would stick to this mainly for the body, not the face, as it could potentially lead to oily skin and again, lead to breakouts."

She added, "Whenever there was a character in a film that was plus size, she was always timid, naive, or the exact opposite — sexually confident and often abrasive. When there was a woman in the industry who put on weight, she was seen as a trainwreck, as mentally unwell."
