How can I get my hair to grow longer?
Hey Gurl...dont let someone tell you that just because your a black gurl you cant grow long hair. Check out this website growlongblackhair.
You will find very helpful tips such as:
Keeping your hair moisturized escpecaily the ends...we black women have dry scalp which equals dry hair, hence the reason why we have grease and products similiar on the shelves...
You've got to keep your hair from rubbing against your clothing, especially if its shoulder length...think about it, when you look left then right very quickly do you feel your hair snagging against your clothes? Thats why tons of black women cant grow their hair longer than shoulder length.
You must also eat the right type of foods that promote hair growth and strong hair at that.
Exercising is another way to get your hair to grow, because the blood is circulating in your head.
Dont use too much heat on your hair...if you live in a very humid climate in the summer you may want to change your style from flat iron to something natural...
I wear my hair in roller sets alot. My biggest complaint about that is the style is very high maintenance so I have to do it every other day to keep it looking nice..to me.
Take vitamins...you can take a simple walgreens brand multivitamin they work just as well as any other vitamin thats supposed to be just for hair and nails....
Keep you scalp clean, remember that your hair grows from the scalp so its not that your hair doesnt grow, its just that you have to maintain the length...one good way to do that is to get a trim(and only a trim) about once a month or every 6 weeks or so.
I soak my hair with Olive Oil and conditioner for about an hour first then I wash my hair...please always condition your hair at least once per week...
Where I live...all the black gurls have loong hair hun and its not a weave! Im talking 14inches or longer is the norm for black gurls in the south! Maybe its the air or the water?? LOL
Good-luck and remember that hair grows MORE in the warmer months Apr-Oct....all of our hair has its own growing season...sometimes you have to wait for your season to come then you all of a sudden have hair a few inches longer!

My ex got her hair to grow almost below her bra. she was a black girl and definitely wasn't into the weave scene.
I know she took a multitude of morning vitamins, ate well, and used "Virgin Hair Cream". I can't believe i'm mentioning that, but it's a real product you can get on amazon.
Certain foods that contain keratin and various proteins which are inherent in all hair.
Also, she maintained her regular hair care, minimized heat products (irons, hair dryers), and tried her best to refrain from trimming it at salon. she trimmed it only to shape it up.
Hope this helps.

- You need to tie your hair up at night with a satin scarf or use a satin pillow case... The reason for that is because the cotton from your pillow cases can suck all of the moisture out of your hair, cause it to become brittle and break.
- Over processing your hair will also cause it to break. Try to stretch it, stretching it is basically going longer without getting a perm. Shoot for 8 weeks, but if you can go longer, do so.
- When you get your next perm, or when you wash your hair next time... TRIM YOUR SPLIT ENDS.
- Wash your hair every week, and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use leave in conditioner, it'll help your hair retain moisture which it needs. Lack of moisture will cause your hair to break.
- Let your hair AIR DRY! Letting your hair air dry, will reduce the damage done to your air. Too much heat can dry your hair out and cause it to break.
- Moisturize DAILY! I moisturize my hair, once in the morning and again before bed, mainly focusing on the ends. Try not to get products that contain mineral oil or petroleum... It you do, don't use it on your scalp and use it sparingly.
- Be sure to tie your hair up with a satin scarf or use a satin pillow case. Cotton will soak the moisture up and out of your hair and it will also cause it to break.
- Deep condition WEEKLY... Some say once a month, but I do so weekly because it helps retain moisture.
- Do a hot oil treatment every 2 weeks
What works for some people, may or may not work for you. You should always keep track of the products you're using along with how your hair reacts to it. Trust me... Some prodicts have worked for others that just did NOT work for me. So, I had to experiment.
