If you want to have longer locks for your wedding, or grow out your bangs, you’ll want to start working towards that goal now. Regular trims will help keep your hair in good condition, which will encourage growth. You can also use tea tree oil for hair length and thickness, as it helps to nourish your roots. Its natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties can help maintain a clean scalp and strong hair follicles.

At this point you might also choose to take a supplement that will help the condition of your hair – biotin, vitamin E and omega-3 fish oils are all considered important for hair health. Eating a diet rich in these vitamins and minerals can also help your hair look and feel its best.
