Transitioning from Relaxed to Natural Hair

Review of “Grow It Long: Discover Honest Proven Secrets to Growing Your Hair”

Includes a 6 month plan for extreme hair growth

Like many of you, when I started thinking about going natural I searched all over the internet to find as much information as I could on what products to use and how my hair care routines would have to change. During this research I came across this guide: “Grow It Long: Discover Honest Proven Secrets to Growing Your Hair From the Nape of Your Neck to the Center of Your Back in a Few Short Months” by Donna Hanover.

This is a review of the guide. Click here to visit the Grow it Long website.

At first I thought that the guide was a bit too expensive, $24.97, and I didn’t really believe that it could possibly contain any secrets that I could not find for myself online. But as I continued to buy more and more products and trying EVERYTHING I kept going back to the web page and wondering “What are these secrets?” “Are there really any secrets?!?!” This was especially true as I came to that 6 month to 12 month phase where it gets extremely frustrating.

Well, I’m a curious person, and I also considered how much money I have spent over my lifetime trying all of the different hair care products that I did try. Sometimes I saw results and sometimes I didn’t, so I figured this wouldn’t be any different and I decided to try it. I thought, what if this guide really provides the answers that I am looking for and I never buy a bunch of useless products again? That would be a money saver.

Believe it or not, there are secrets!

Well, there really are secrets. Some of the “secrets” overlap with things that I did find on my own and some tips that I have included on this site. But, this lady actually did some serious research and experimentation and came up with some extremely interesting and useful information. Of course, it would be wrong for me to share her secrets, so I’m doing the next best thing and just reviewing her book.

This guide addresses many of the questions we all have about our hair…

• How do I get my to grow faster
• How do I improve the strength and texture of my hair?
• How do I soften my hair and make it more manageable?
• How do I avoid knots and breakage?

6 month extreme hair growth challenge

My favorite part of the guide is the 6 month hair growth challenge. She provides clear instructions on what you can do every day to ensure that you are achieving maximum hair growth. This includes diet, products, and regimen.

I tried it myself

I took a few months to try out Donna Hanover’s tips and advice and the regimen that she suggests in the guide, and now I can honestly say that I recommend this guide as an excellent resource for anyone who wants to grow out their natural hair and see it thrive.

What I Loved About the Book

• It is real. As I said I have been trying her techniques over the past few months, especially the scalp care and general regimen. And I saw results! I have nearly cured my dry flaky scalp, which I have written about elsewhere on this site, my hair texture has improved, and my hair is growing fast.
• It contains true secrets that you have never heard anywhere else.
• She includes a scientific hair care study which talks about how your frame of mind and emotional state have an effect on your hair. I love this, and as you know, if you’ve explored the site, I actually talk about this myself. This was when I realized that Donna Hanover and I were on the same page.
• There is also a bonus book of recipes of healthy hair foods.
• She also offers a 60 day money back guarantee, so there really is no risk in trying the guide. I did not see any reason to return it, but if you decide to give it a try and then decide to return it, please let me know. I’d be interested to hear more feedback because I don’t want to recommend something that people would return.
• I saw results! – I just have to say this again. Its pretty exciting when something you try actually works.

Some constructive criticism

There were just a few small things that I did not like about the guide, and/or the experience with the website.

• #1 – When you go to see more information about the book, the web page has this overly aggressive pop-up which keeps popping even after you have closed it. I’m always turned off by sites that do this, but I overlooked it to find out the secrets.
• #2 – Her “Free EBook” is sort of just a rehash of the web page. I hope that my free guide provides some value and extra information that you didn’t already have. If not, please let me know and I will change it. I did not find her Free Ebook very useful, and I was turned off by it thinking that the real book might not be any good either. After seeing the real guide, I can say that she probably just got some bad advice on how to go about this aspect of the package.
• #3 – There are some formatting, grammar and spelling mistakes on the site and in the book. As a writer this stuff is like nails on a chalkboard to me, but I’m willing to overlook it for solid information – which this guide delivered big time.

I have wanted to write my own hair care guide, so of course I look at the mistakes and think of how I could do it better. However, I couldn’t come close to the research and experience which this guide provides. So in the meantime, this one does provide some quality information which I think is extremely useful.
