A great number of woman aspire to have long and shiny hair, but there are myriad factors that make hair growth challenging.
Sometimes, introducing natural ingredients into your hair care regimen can do wonders for enhancing growth and thickness.
Katherine Sewing achieved remarkable hair growth results after abandoning traditional shampoo in favour of an ancient Moroccan beauty secret.
She explained in a clip that an ingredient helped her grow chin-length hair down to her tailbone by keeping it strong.

"What was one of my main secrets to growing my once weak, tangle prone, dry hair to now tailbone length after a chin length hair cut? Clay washing," Sewing revealed.
The unusual technique has proven transformative for her hair health and growth journey.
Rhassoul clay, sourced exclusively from a valley in Morocco's Atlas Mountains, has been a treasured cosmetic ingredient for centuries.
The name itself derives from the Arabic word meaning "to wash", reflecting its traditional cleansing properties.
Also known as Moroccan red clay or ghassoul clay, the natural ingredient has been utilised by various cultures for over a thousand years.
While scientific studies remain limited, the clay's popularity in beauty rituals has spanned generations, and Katherine swears by it.
Before experiencing success with clay washing, the YouTuber explained that she'd struggled with significant hair problems, explaining: "I actually lost a significant amount of hair length despite not cutting my hair during this period."
Thankfully for Katherine, the switch to clay washing instead of traditional shampoo proved helpful.

"This kind of hair care isn't only for those with curly hair, like me? Absolutely not!" Sewing emphasised, noting that all hair types could benefit from its properties.
Most of what is know about the clay is anecdotal, but existing research suggests the clay's distinctive mineral composition may contribute to its healing properties.
The natural product continues to gain attention as an alternative to conventional hair care products.
In Katherine's case, rhassoul clay has helped keep her hair and scalp healthy without stripping them of the essential oils they need for moisture.
