Question

Answer 1

There is really nothing you can do ....just don't cut it

Answer 2

Pills: GNC makes an awesome nail/hair dietary supplement that also helps circulation. I love it - it's about 8.50. I suggest you get the smaller bottle, because it has smaller pills.

Grease: Don't. Grease clogs the pores on your scalp and also disturbs the production of sebum, or natural oil.

Oils: If you go to the beauty supply store, in the ethnic care section, there are many hair oils that you can use to stimulate your scalp. These were extensively covered in an issue of Black Hair (of Hype Hair), the one with LeToya Luckett on the cover.

Sprays: Pick a simple oil sheen that works for you. I alternate between two - Olive Oil oil sheen, and Pantene's Relaxed and Natural oil sheen (which smells good).

Regular routines: Try to spread out your relaxers to 10 weeks. It's good for your hair and your wallet, because you'll only be getting five a year. Avoid consistent use of heat tools like flat irons and blow dryers. If you can't live without them, be SURE you use products that are specifically designed to protect African-American hair from heat damage. That was covered in the magazine as well.

Also, try to avoid certain types of extensions. Micro braids, if kept in for too long, will damage your edges. Ponytails that need pinning can damage your scalp if the pins are pushed in too far.

Buena suerte!

Answer 3

Triming your hair to get rid of the spilt-ends, helps your hair appear healthy and it will make it grow healthier.

A steady routine of Vitamins like A & E, gives your hair the nourishment to grow. Proper diet (no junk food) and plenty of water are the keys to great skin, hair and nails.

If your hair as a tendency to be dry and break off, keep it moisturized but do wash your hair regularly.

Stay away from products that contain waxes, like dimethicone, these give you "false" softness and don't really moisturize and thus contribute to hair breakage because you think your hair is smooth and soft. Don't laugh, but there is a product that was marketing for horses that people swear by (something like horse & mane shampoo). It's sold in beauty supply stores.

Try going natural if you can. Avoid chemicals, if you must get a relaxer make sure your hair is deeply conditioned (without waxes) beforehand.

Use only essential oils (like KEMI products).

Answer 4

Try to not comb and brush your hair unless its necessary. Deep condition your hair everytime you wash it. Eat really well and take a multi vitamin. Drink plenty of water it hydrates your body and your hair. Make sure you sleep on a satin pillowcase or wear a silk scarf to bed. Use heat as little as possible. When you wash your hair let it air dry and then flat iron it straight instead of blowdrying. Do protective hair styles in the winter like braids buns etc... That's about all thatI've been doing for the past two yrs and now have hair up to the middle of my bach of bra strap length. Know it takes time though.

Answer 5

Like i told another girl who wanted to know what she can use to make her hair grow. Its a greasecalled Dont Be Bald it comes in a blue container its the original theres one in the red container its medicated with sulfer 8 to relieve dandruff and itching. Theres also some stuff called wonder 8 oil. The grease will make your hair thick and the oil makes your hair grow giving you length. Its also in the conidtioner you use to when you wash and blow dry your hair. You can get all off the stuff i just told you about from either a chinese store that sells hair weave or sallys. Buy you some lil bottles off protein to mix in your conditioner their only like 59 cents a tube. Gurl i tried to get a job at the casino and they had to cut out a chunk of my hair for a drug test gurl. Trust me this works.

Answer 8

what i used to get my hair to grow quickly was i kept my ends trimmed and healthy. i used prenatal viteamins and i often use the oils that the african hair braiders use in the shops...whatever that oil is it had do wonders to the growth of my hair.

Answer 9

I am too, what u do is you just cut the ends like every 7-8 months (Im not sure the exact months) then just let it do the trick

Answer 10

dont comb so much, dont brush so much, get hot oil treatment once a week, dont wash it so much, use super gro. This will help.
Also, use a hot comb to straighten it (but coat it in super gro first) then you can comb it and brush it with less breakage. I have done this, it works!
