I want my hair to grow! Someone help?

Ok. Ill give you all the details I can. Ask if I am missing any thing you need to know!

-Im african american

-I wear my hair in ponytails... a lot

-My hair used to be past my shoulders until we moved to Arizona when my mom didnt take me to get my hair trimmed/conditioned/all that other stuff every 2 weeks like we did in California

-My mom wont let me get a perm, she thinks I wont take care of it and that it will mess up my hair.

-Im 14

I got to the hair salon every two weeks now. Is there anything natural that I can eat or drink to get my hair to grow healthy? My mom most likely wont buy me pills or perm like things to get my hair to grow. If you have links to any sites or any personal advice that would help me a lot! Thanks. ^^

my hair is natural right now too and my mom wont let me perm my hair but now she is thinking about it and is giving in.but i keep my hair healthy by using deep condintor and doing hot oil treatments about every 2 weeks.i usually have my hair in a ponytail too but now i like to use a headband and kinda pull it into an afro style or sometimes i blow dry and straighten my hair to have it straight down.But it can still reunite it but i hot oil afterwards and deep coniditon for like 30 minutes.or i braid my hair down and u can do cornrows or unique braids.Also when u go to sleep braids your hair straight down usaually 6 braids down and keep it moistured with hair lotion because that works better not grease.Hope i helped

I was going to suggest hair vitamins but just keep it clean and use the right shampoo and conditioners for your type hair. and wearing ponytails a lot does break the hair off. try wearing it differently for awhile . eat vegetables and fruits they help your hair stay shiny and healthy. and grow..

Contrary to popular belief, African textured hair is very delicate. It is prone to breakage and the ponytails don't help. Since you live in an extremely dry climate it is even more important for you to keep your hair conditioned and moisturized. Besides eating well you need to keep hydrated. Also try a deep conditioner once a week and a leave in conditioner the rest of the week. You can also use light oils not heavy ones like grease. They clog your pores and attract dirt causing you to have to wash your hair more often. Genetics also play a part in how fast/long your hair will grow. Dont expect it to grow extra fast because it probably wont. Good luck.

the same probelm happened. i m black, what i did is stop wear ponytails, cuz if u dont it well still get shorter. then, i got my perm at 3 weeks, cuz if dont got a perm trust me you wish u did. then, i went to a store called sally's (u should have one there) there is a conditoning thing called olive oil for hair . that helped my hair so much but, i cut short. maybe if u try that it might helped.

:) yea if u use hot curl make sure u use that heat thing that protects ur hair or it will break more than it does!!

You can't do anything to make your hair grow.

Anti-Snap! That is the name of the treatment I use in my hair, which is thick and curly and breaks a lot. But any protein treatment will help, especially applying it where your pony-tail holder goes. It's like a leave-in conditioner, you just put it in after you shower and it repairs your hair and makes it shiny.

If you want hair to grow faster, you have to take supplements that work on your body chemistry to support hair's growth and strength at its genesis.....once it has grown out, it is just dead keratin

Try GNC, they make a supplement called "Nourishair" in formulas for men and women..they are HUGE pills and you have to take 2 daily. There is also a "Hair skin and nails" formula from Andrew Lessman that you can google, that has great ingredients and is easier to swallow, made by ProCaps labs. You can also take large doses of Biotin, sometimes called Vitamin H, take no less than 2500 micrograms daily to support healthy hair growth. IT may take 6 to 8 weeks to see results.
