Try browsing www.wanakee.com. She has excellent tips on growing long hair in a practical way. She clears up mis-understandings we have about Black hair and is very encouraging. The key is to keep your hair moist, clip your ends 1/4 of an inch every 8 weeks, and keep your ends tucked under (unexposed to the air). She offers very effective moisturing, light products also. I hope this helps.

you should try to do the least to your hair as possible. Many african americans over process their hair by using straighteners very often for the straightest look at all times, but that is not necessary. My hair is to where I fasten my bra in the back, and I straighten my hair about every two months. Plus, I get my hair trimmed. I wash it every other day and curl it that day, along with adding some oil or moisturizer and then try to leave it alone. I hope this helps you.

Hi, I am trying to grow my hair. Do your hair tend to dry our more by washing it ever other day? Do you take any supplements? Thank you!

My advice to you would be to give your hair a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week, and you should moisturise your hair daily as well to help prevent split ends.
Regular trimming also helps to promote healthier and longer hair.
Try not to wear your hair out too often, instead place it in a bun, to help prevent it from the harsh effects that the weather can bring to your hair, and to prevent your hair from drying out.

Don`t use hair ties that can cause breakage along your hair shaft ( like elastic bands).
You should also give your hair a break from processing and heat appliances. Wear your hair in braids for at least 1 - 2 months, but use larger braiding styles as finer braiding will cause serious damage to your hair. But when you remove your braids, not only should you put a conditioning treatment in it at least twice a week and trim it to keep it healthy, you should wait at least 3-4 weeks before you consider relaxing your new growth.

Stress and poor dieting can also have an effect on the condition of your hair.
Exercise and eat healthy. Hair is made of protein, so include a lot of this in your diet. If you do not include a lot of protien in your diet, then take protein supplements, which can help to boost hair growth.

Hope this helps.

hi, could you please e-mail me at zandriabrt@aol.com. I am very interested on how you achieved your hair length. Please respond. Thank-you

I hope this can be of help. This is a lucky time for you because you can definately grow your hair past your shoulders with the products that they have available now.

I`m going to give you the advise that I used and that my clients used. After using this system for about 5 years my clients have hair to the middle of their backs and they have relaxed African American hair.

1. Shampoo your hair at least once a week, but perferrably 3 times a week. Believe it or not every day is best.

2. Use a botanically based shampoo, conditioner, and cuticle sealer every time you shampoo and condition your hair. I recommend Biosynthesis system. Biosynthesis.com I`ve seen it work. It is great because it has amino acids, proteins, and moisturizers. If not Biosynthesis, use a botanical producut because they grow your hair faster.

3. DON`T SLEEP ON COTTON SHEETS! This is most important. Cotton sheets are like velcro to your hair. Make sure your hair is touching satin and silk!

4. Take a hair vitamin supplement. It`s best if you take one that has a good amount of Biotin in it.

5. Have your ends trimmed every other relaxer touch up with SHARP JAPANESE SHEARS. You want it every other because it will accumlate length faster. You want Japenese shears because you trims will last longer.

6. Have a positive attitude and relax. Stress can create a chemical in your body that is very damaging to your hair

7. No permenent color and relaxer.

There may be a few more things but those are the most important things. Your hair is growing right now. Once you arrest breakage you will see your length accumulating.
