Answer 1

Well, in that picture, it looks like his hair is just blown out a little bit with a blow dryer. Um...not a flattering picture, BTW. Black hair usually grows about a half an inch or so every 30-45 days. But it does not produce oils, like other ethnicity's do, so it curls up tighter and seems more dry. If you are looking to grow it long, I suggest corn rows or some other form of braids. It's a good neutral "resting position" for black hair, that allows it to grow faster, with less interruptions from you, since you aren't brushing it and styling it every day. Redo the braids once a week or so. Since your head doesn't get oily, once a week is plenty for washing your hair if you aren't doing strenuous work that makes you sweat a lot.

Also, to keep your hair soft, so it doesn't break off a lot, use a Good non oily conditioner for your hair and scalp, that will be absorbed, as opposed to hair grease, that just sits on top of the hair and skin. Carrot oil (available at beauty stores and in most large supermarket's beauty isles) is a really great one. Its light and smells good.

Answer 2

his is just is nappy hair it looks like it may be soft though

i think hair grows half and inch each month but im not 100% sure
