Growing Hair Faster - Mane 'n Tail Shampoo?

Good Monday Morning everyone! Hope your weekends were great and everyone enjoyed their daylight saving's time extra hour of sleep.

I've been trying to grow my hair out since before my last hair cut- the angled bob cut is definitely my favorite, but the long luxurious locks I see on tv are starting to hypnotize me into wanting long hair again. Before I cut my hair up to my chin, I had extra long, down past the back of my bra hair that was thick and healthy.

I decided to try something new, and I was tired of having the straight on the bottom, curly on the top hair that I dealt with every day. Because I didn't have the proper hair cut, it made my hair straight on the bottom with my regular tight curls on top. I looked a hot mess 70% of the time, and eventually got sick of it.

I wish I had the abilities I have now to style my hair, I probably would have never chopped it off! Now that I'm trying to grow my hair out again, I haven't been handling the in between length of longer than a bob, nowhere close to being as long as I want it, very well.

Thanks to the internet, people's obsession with 'get results fast' products brings about some crazy results. When looking for ways to get my hair to grow healthier and faster (although I know all I need to do is wait...who wants to do that?) kept giving me the same kinds of answers. Prenatal vitamins, B vitamins, extensions, and Mane 'n Tail shampoo.

I'm not about to shell out tons of money to buy extensions or crazy vitamins I don't need, so I decided to try the Mane 'n Tail shampoo and conditioner. I used to use this shampoo when I was very young, but wanted to test the results and see if it actually made a difference. Wondering where the name came from? The shampoo and conditioner were originally formulated to be used on a horse's mane and tail (very creative, huh?) to keep the hair strong and protected from the elements.

I've been using this shampoo and conditioner for about three weeks, either every day or every other day. So far, I've noticed that my hair looks brighter and shinier. Since I do have curly hair, sometimes when I straighten it it's frizzy or fluffy before I use some kind of product in it, but I've noticed that these two products make my hair very smooth and manageable. Actually, I haven't been able to keep my hands out of my hair; I've never had it feel this soft.

Since I did use this shampoo and conditioner to see if it helped my hair grow longer, I will continue to use it daily. I haven't seen a change in length as of yet, but it has only been three weeks.

If you're interested in trying out Mane 'n Tail for yourself, it's available at Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid. The products are VERY affordable, I paid $5 for each product and the bottle was HUGE. Check out their website, Mane 'n Tail.

Have you ever heard of or used Mane 'n Tail products? What was your experience like?
