What are some ways to get natural hair to grow?

Question

so i cut my hair again. which is like the third time in 3 years i'm just really trying to prevent it from being damaged again. my hair is natural and short but i believe if i would have stuck to the dread lock twist i had last year my hair would not be in this situation.....the thing is i'm not comfortable with short hair so as soon as it starts growing i start getting it braided and then something fu*ks it up. what else could i do along with the twist so that it grows quicker....i'm gonna have to be back in them again(not what i have in mind) short hair fits me but i never feel comfortable wtih it though. i always want to find a way to get my hair done differently and that is y now i wish i would have stuck it out so my hair wouldn't be gone now.....any ideas on what i could do to this natural hair of mine so that it stays healthy and grow.

Answer 1

keep it trimmed every 6-8 weeks. try keeping the blood circulation up in your scalp which helps hair growth. grab your brush, part your hair into small sections and gently brush your hair from the SCALP down every other day or so you should see results from that.

Answer 2

OK don't try to put so many chemicals in it because hair needs air to breath and layering it with alot of stuff would way it down. Same goes with the braiding. If you notice when you take the fake hair out it seems that it is more weaker than it was before .Plus with the twistes don't braid it so tightly that pulls the hair. Make sure to use mild water instead of hot, because using water that is too hot strips away the natural protein that your hair already has. Shampoo at least ones a week . Because with black people hair. It tends to start stinking if we go without washing it longer than that. Plus the human hair loses 100 strands of hair on your head a day. so it be best if you do so. Gently massage the sampboo in, don't scratch it in. When you do this the blood circulates and flows in your scalp and allows your hair to breath more. Try massaging your head at least onces a day. Then condition it. To give your hair the moisture it needs. After that but grease that is light weighted. Example: Coconut grease, and rub that on your hair not the scalp. Take a comb and strart to untangle it at the ends gently on up. Its more easy to do when its wet. But don't pull on it! that snaps the hair and cause split ends. Cut the ends of your hair at least onces a month to the split ends from happening. If your hair gets really dry. Buy some hair moisture and put it in as much as the directions tell you to.

I would find someone who does full weaves and keep it braided underneath for the winter. Once the spring comes should you have achieved a nice length. Natural hair usually grows fast so you shouldn't have a problem. I am going to let my hair grow out as well so I am going to keep it weaved all winter and hopefully by the spring/summer I should have a nice length

use miracle grow(the pepper in it helps activate the roots) but when the hair starts to grow switch back to a regular grease. i cut my hair recently cuz it was badly damage. now it's growing back more healthy than i have ever seen it. what i do is wash and treat it regularly and i aim to use every hair product from the same brand( i learned the hard way that mixing brands really don't work....consult a hair technician tho
