My question is kinda long but I dont know much about this and i'm sure the experts here can help a brotha out
Hey people im a 20yr male. Hair type 4B (coarse / nappy i think?). I waited quite a while and my hair finally got long enough
to get my cornrows. I dont have any "hangtime" so at the back of my
head the braids barely hangs off where it starts to grow. I know i have
to be patient and over time the hair will grow.(no extensions)
But ive been braiding my hair ( and taking it out of course ) for about
4 months now and it looks the same as it did from day one shouldnt i
see a difference now?
I dont really know much about hair so i just go to the salons up in Harlem, they take
the braids out, give me a wash, apply some oil, blow dry and rebraid.
In between these trips i just wash my hair in the show with a stocking
cap on.
what else should i be doing in between the periods when i get my hair
taken out? are there oils, shampoos, conditioners i should be applying?
ive also heard theres vitamins that help. and is it ok to wash the hair
every day ? please if you guys have any advice dont hesitate id greatly
appreciate

You can apply indian hemp directly to the exposed scalp areas to promote healthy hair growth. Indian Hemp is a scalp treatment.
