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. P.S. No more tracks with glue. Its very damaging. try the braided technique instead ------------- |

The rate of hair growth is ultimately dependent on genetics, but proper care is essential to promote further growth. My hair grows absolutely great- last year i had it cut really really short- the back was shaved and the rest was above my ears in a bob and now its to my shoulders. Everyone in my family has long and i guess good hair if you wanna call it that but I wash it everyday and try to stay away from blow drying. Blow drying is the correct word - cause it dries out your hair! I also use wax in my hair to keep it soft and shiny. Make sure the type of relaxer you are using is not breaking your hair off. Your hair might actually be growing, but if you`re using products and styles that are causing breakage, then you wont see any results. B&B hair growth moisturiser is great for hair growth. I saw excellent results in weeks! ------------- "I love My Antonio Delacruz!. Muuuahhhh" |

Are you serious? I didn`t know black people could wash there hair every day. i wash my hair every other day, i think that i`m am over washing it myseft. some of you women that can grow long hair are bless, I mean aren`t you happy that you can grow much long. Anyway i was just wondering what shampoo do you use when u wash your hair Mrs_Delacruz and what grease because washing your hair every day dry your hair out right, i `m just wondering. ------------- I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our life. |

Im sorry- i dont wash it everyday - i meant every other day or every 2 days. I used to wash it everyday but it dried my hair out. I use "k7 oil moisturizer" sometimes but now i mainly use hair wax and clear gel. Just a dab of that stuff works for a good month lol. ------------- "I love My Antonio Delacruz!. Muuuahhhh" |
