I just went to get my hair braided and the lady wasn't having any problems until she got to the back of my head...so she said she couldn't catch it and I had to just take it out!I asked her y my hair was so short in the back and high on the top and she said it was most likely due to how I sleep[my hair gets packed down pretty bad when i sleep]?? u guys have any tips on how to sleep,so my growth will be healthy throught my whole head?
 
* I have a fro bout 2 inches

If you sleep on your back, that contributes to breakage. To counteract this you can do a couple of things: baggy(oil then seal with a water-based creamy moisturizer Or watery spritz and then put a thin, plastic cap on and a satin scarf on top) or you can massage that area with castor oil or vitamin e oil for 10-15 mins 2x a day. For maximum results add 5-10 drops of rosemary, tea tree or peppermint oil to your castor oil or vitamin e oil. Also, make sure that you sleep on satin pillowcases. HTH.
