My hair used to be really long when I was younger, but now it never seems to grow below shoulder length? Have you found any successful hair growth techniques apart from those hair plait extension things which I don’t want to wear? Ta
Over the past year, I have created a routine for my hair that has made my hair grow about 3 and a half inches and has made it really healthy. I learned about all this by going on hair care message boards like http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/forum_to…
For most african type hair, it is usually imperative that you moisturize daily–I use a combination of care free curl activator gel(yes you can use that without having a jheri curl), and 911 leave in conditioner followed by a little olive oil to seal in the moisture. I do this everyday and at least each week I shampoo and condition my hair. Its best to use shampoos especially for dry hair because african type hair has a natrually tight curl pattern that makes it dryer than hair of people from other races. You should also use a deep conditioner after shampooing instead of or in addition to an instant conditioner. A good one is Organic Root Stimulator’s olive oil replenishing pak. A conditioner that has protein in it also is a good idea.
Lastly, once a week I use Shapley’s M-T-G oil on my hair–it is a hair growth aid.
Other than that, its a good idea to stay away from too much heat from hairdryers, curling irons and things like that…if you do have to use those things, make sure you moisturize and oil your hair afterwards.
also, dont manipulate or brush your hair more too much…that can break off fragile ends and make them split.
You should go to the link I gave you to learn more. The women on that forum are very knowledgeable.
