I am a 20 yr old Black male. my hair is 4b i think which is nappy / coarse. I been growin my hair for bout 1 year now puttin it in cornrows since it got long enough to braid. but i still got no hangtime after 1yr. I have the following questions im hoping you peeps can answer. I get my hair braided every 3 weeks, how should i be taking care of it during those 3 weeks when its in cornrows.. Plz be detailed like wat products to use how frequently to use them and what not to do etc. I havent been doing anything betweeen those 3 weeks but washing my hair like every 4 days in the shower with a du rag on. When i get my braids taken out, i get my hair washed, blowdried then rebraided again. Is this bad? I heard i should leave the hair out for a couple days. Also if I should leave it out then how do i maintain it while its in the fro? i hear about indian hemp oil castor oil all kinds of other stuff. I'm not too knowledgable on those things so what are simple products i can use t o increase my growth and healthy hair. I hope someone can answer my questions because after 1 yr of growing this i should have some hangtime, im real frustrated like my hair aint growing. Thanks, all help appreciated. feel free to pm me with more advice. |

after you take it outta braids leave it out for a couple days, constant blow drying aint good for hair, find a moisturizer dat works 4 u, keepin ur hair fresh and moist with not too much build up, grease ur scalp wit a hair growth cream, try out some doo gro or somethin... but your hair can grow naturally jus fine, dont over comb it treat it real careful, sometimes braidin breaks hair so keep em in fat loose braids from time to time. is your hair weak and brittle? or thick? if its weak try out some products to strengthen it and find one that works for you. if its thick you probably not keepin it moist enough so moisturise it constantly ------------- braided up  myspace.com/thekingblaze
