What's different about our hair? Why do we need different products and routines? African hair is made of the same “stuff” as non-African hair. The difference lies in the way those components are put together or the structure of our hair. The structure of our hair can cause it to be more prone to breakage and dryness. Because of this, black hair care needs are different from those for other types of hair. Our hair can have up to twice the amount of “cuticle” or outer layer. Our hair is kinkier which makes it more difficult for the oil secreted from our scalps to reach the ends of the hair. But, keep in mind there is a continuum of hair types. Especially since most of us are of mixed heritage, African American hair and bi-racial people's hair can vary widely. Even within a single head of hair, there are different hair types. So, there is no one solution for the care of all African American hair. Intuitively, you might think African hair is "tougher" than Caucasian hair and can handle more stress or abuse. After all, it is coarser and thicker. Actually, African hair (especially if treated like European hair) is more fragile than Caucasian hair. For this reason, we suggest using products made especially for our hair, whenever possible. Today, there is a wide range of excellent products made specifically for the needs of African American or Textured hair.
I took this from http://www.treasuredlocks.com/blhacafa.html in so many words it does grow but a lot of black people don't know how to properly take care of their hair so it breaks off just as fast as it grows.

There are many methods to make our hair grow faster, shine , glitter in natural ways without using chemicals. Learn here https://bitly.im/aL9uz Men, and sometimes women, notice that their hair is thinning prematurely for several different reasons. Age, menopause, pregnancy, genetics, illness, and other factors all play a role in hair loss. Sure, you can use drugs or you can go in for a hair transplant or fusion, but sometimes the easiest, most inexpensive solution, is to try to stop hair loss naturally.

well you have to understand one their hair is different then most. Secondly their are a million and one products to maintain the hair of a stringy haired person then there is ones with curly. Next time you see a hair product commercial you will rarely see a black women with her natural hair. American society has made black women feel embrassed about the naturaul texture of their hair.

Why cant white human beings circulate to the coastline without lotion and umbrellas ? Why cant white human beings age while not having brown observed epidermis and varicose veins ? Why are white women human beings so bushy throughout ? Black women human beings dont all positioned on weaves people who do positioned on because of the fact of media impression. i think of black hairstyles are extra resourceful and lots nicer than the standard white hairstyles that on no account replace or replace so extremely that purely hairstylists can tell.

lol your question needs to be rephrased or expanded so that you dont sound ignorant.. but i know what youre talking about.. and the reason why black females hair sometimes will stop growing or have bald spots, etc is because the relaxers (chemical straighteners) they have used.. have burned the scalp and the hair follicle preventing new hair growth..

Actually, it does grow. If you look closely they have hair...
This is pretty badly worded question, but I felt obligated to answer.
Try to return the favor.

My daughters best friend, from Nigeria, says that her hair breaks when it gets to a certain length. She has hair extensions - looks fabulous.
