How To Grow Black Hair?

How to grow relaxed black african american hair healthy and long? Please answer? (:?

  • So my hair is kind of short. I guess it used to be long when I was little, but somehow it's really short now. I have african american hair, and it was last relaxed about 4 weeks ago. I really want my hair to be thick, healthy, and long. I've tried all this research on the internet already, but any sugggestions or things that's worked for you? I want my hair to be at least a little past my shoulders for now, and then I can go from there longer. Please help with any ways you know how to grow my hair long, and if it could grow long fast it would really help. And also if you know how to keep it healthy, and how often I should trim it and how long?

  • Answer:

    since you have african american hair like me you should trimm it every 8 weeks and put in some nice olive oil conditioner that the ends are healthy. and if you wanna grow it then it really tkes time! so much girls put extensions in i hate it !.. i want it to be natural you kbow, so what i do is when i put it up in a bun, i dont put the rubberband everyday at the same place in the hair because it makes it break and i try to put it in one braid not a lot little ones and i use a satin hair cap when i sleep and a satin pillow case

Okay, I had the same problem. First, wait for the relaxer to grow out.. Trust me, you don't need a full relaxer for soft, silky, straight hair.. ^_^ After that, cut off the *RELAXED* hair, and *TEXTURIZE* the virgin hair.. It's basically like a mild relaxer, but if you get your hair wet, it'll go back to it's natural state.. It's healthier for your hair Now I cut my hair done into a very short fro, and this next step helped me grow my hair from 1/4 of an inch to almost my shoulders in about 3 1/2 - 4 months..! ^__^ Okay so 1. wash your hair, but only w/ shampoo for now.. brand doesn't matter.. 2. Use the mixture at the bottom of this answer, massaging it into your hair and scalp for about 5 minutes.. then cover it w/ a shower cap and leave it in for about an hour.. 3. wash it out w/ a quarter size amount of shampoo. Rinse. 4.Condition like you usually do (: Then just blow dry really good, and press it out..! Hair Cream Recipe: 1 egg about 1 cup of mayo 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil Separate the egg (whites and yolk) Whisk separately, then whisk then together.. Warm the mayo in the microwave (keep your eye on it, 'cause if it gets too hot it'll scramble the eggs =/ .. ) It just needs to be warm enough to not be so lumpy >.< But after that , just mix the eggs and mayo together, then add the oil. Stir.. Voila..! ( I know, I know, it sounds DISGUSTING.. But it works) GOOD LUCK...! (:

Thanks for helping me on my question and i know just what to do! Whenever you shampoo and wash your hair in the shower massage your scalp all over for two to three minutes every time. It gets your blood circulation going and makes your hair grow faster and thicker. I tried it and was skeptical but i noticed a big difference really soon after i started doing that! Good luck hun!

you should probably not be relaxing your hair. (you should look up the chemicals in relaxer and how it works.) I used to but stopped & i just straighten my hair every week & get it trimmed every 8 wks. you should go as long as you can without washing it because that causes your hair to dry up and eventually break off. I wash my hair every week and I only use shampoo like once a month. i use only conditioner the other times. I've noticed my hair is much healthier. I got about 2 1/2 inches cut off about 2 months ago & its growing back fairly quickly.
