Hey does anybody have some hair tips for me? im african american and i need to know how to properly?

Question

take care of my hair. i get it relaxed. i really want my hair to grow but its never gotten past my shoulders:( thanks!

Answer 1

This is what I teach my African American models about hair care. It is okay to use a relaxer. However, try to avoid over using curling irons and blow dryers. These heat items will damage your hair way worse than other type hair because your hair in naturally dry. Keep you hair moisturized at all times. try using a daily cream. Also at night, sleep with a satin pillow case. this will allow your hair to glide over your case versus your hair getting caught and snatched on a cotton pillow case. Good luck to you!

Answer 2

Everybody had some good tips. I use a satin hair bonnet or scarf... depending on what I've done to my hair instead of using a pillowcase (wild sleeper so I'm not on the pillow half the time anyway!) and I don't use the blow dryer to dry my hair. I wash, deep condition, oil, and pull it back loosely. The next day (yes, the next day) I will take the blow dryer to it to straighten it out some and then curl or flat iron it. I have to do it in two days because my hair is EXTREMELY thick and takes a long time to dry. I have always had long and healthy hair, it's a pain, but it's worth it.

* Don't forget your regular trims!

Answer 3

getting you hair trimmed or cut has nothing to do with making your hair grow quicker. it is nutrition, washing the hair frequently which adds mositure and since it is not growing past the shoulders, you may want to wear it in an updo for a while or in braids until it grows longer. sometimes it could be friction from touching your shoulders or coat collars that can break it off. make sure you use good conditioners and humectants. make sure that you wrap your hair at night in a silk or satin scarf or bonnet pplus use a satin pillow case. but i would say moisture mositure mositure. afro hair natural or relaxed needs moisture

And grease that scalp to end itching. i exploit African delight perms and Panteen professional V shampoo's and conditioners ( those interior the brown bottles) even as shampoo bottles say 'popular hair' up there they are not touching on black people. Use some thing that has a detangler in it.
