Black Hair Growth!! Help!!?
Here's the deal I want to stop getting relaxers, and I haven't had one since March. I have new growth . I wash my hair once a week and straighten it and I put stuuf on it so the flat iron diesn't damage it. I use Mayo in my hair as a deep conditioner and it is softer now. But I want to grow my hair longer maybe to my shoulders.Can you provide me with tips or products that you have used that make your hair grow longer?Do pills work?Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do. My hair grows veryslow by the way.I have a protein rich diet with lots of fruits and veggies.Please help I would like to grow my hair out for the summer.

Black Hair Growth Tips?
Hi, im not bald headed or anything...Just have a problem with hair growth
my hair grows so0o0oo slow and it also breaks easily
i came across this website: look plz... http://www.ubhpublications.com/hairGrowth/HairGrowth.html
her name is cathy howse and i read about her products and i also read some of the testimonals from people who brought her product. do you think this is ligit?
should i try her product or just use her method.( not cutting your ends and keeping your hair washed ever 3-4 days and also keeping it moisturized)
and im really strict about clipping my ends..I hate it beacuse i never get a chance to see the new growth.
I currently have braids which have been in for 3 months now and they look fab i must say ( due to me getting them done over and over). I dont plan on taking them out until august
can any body give me any tips???? is cathy's program a fake?
tell meBlack Hair Growth Tips?
I'm natural, and don't use her products, but I've heard really good things about Cathy Howse's books and products from women who relax.
Anyway, you don't have to buy any of her stuff to grow your hair. For example, I'm growing my hair to waist length using Giovanni conditioner/water to moisturize, and I wash and deep condition with whatever I have on hand. I've only had 1 trim since I started growing out my hair, because since I moisturize often, my ends stay moist and healthy.
I will try to give you some types that I've picked up, though:
* Stretch your relaxers! This seems to be one of the golden rules w/ relaxed women. Stretch for at least 8 weeks, if you can.
* Moisturize!
* Deep condition at least once a month. I DC at least once a week, though.
* Avoid petroleum-based products. That stuff ain't nothing but grease.
* Wash/Clarify as needed. If you develop product build-up on our scalp/hair often, you'll need to wash/clarify more often. If you don't, you'll clog you're scalp, and/or your products may cease being effective.
* Limit heat! Try to greatly reduce your heat use, if you use it. I flat-iron about 2x/year. I blow-dry every couple of months; no more than 6x/year though. Using a hooded dry is okay, because it's indirect heat.
* Protect your ends! This is the oldest and IMO, the most important part of your hair. If your ends are forever dry, and break off, you won't ever see any length.
.....there's more, but those are most of the basics, and I don't want to write a novel on YA...*smiles*
Also, there are forums dedicated to women of color who want to grow their hair out. I participate on Long Hair Care Forum. You have to pay to actually post, but it's free to view all the Hair Information. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/鈥?/a>
There is also Black Hair Media. I don't participate here, but I've heard good things about this site: http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/

its hard to say whether cathy's program is fake or not. some things work for some women and some dont. have you ever thought taking hair vitamins?
they are vitamins that help your hair grown faster and stronger. my cousin has been taking them for about 6 months and she's had a pretty good amount of growth.
hope i helped. =)
braids can pull your hair out
especially if they are tight
when growing out your hair
get a hair cut about every three months when you have slow growing hair
good circulation helps hair grow.. so massage your scalp often
and
blood nourishes your hair so exercise more than usual
everyone is different.. so remember.. your individuality

Black hair growth??
hi im african american and my hair is a little past shoulder lenght but my fronts of my hair is longer than my back cuz i used to ponytail my hair so much that it broke off and it got thinner cuz i never moisturized it last summer. it SHOULD be down my back right now but i never took care of it properly. right now the back of my hair is really thick and i have a relaxer the just for me texturizer aka the sunflower relaxer and i just started washing, conditioning, and doing hot oil treatments on my hair every week since jan. but i wanted to know what i should do to help my hair grow better and faster so that i can get it to the length that it should be at right now and to help the back grow and get even?? please answer thanks.!Black hair growth??
I had the same problem but instead of the back breaking out the front started breaking. Since your hair is damaged, you will need to trim the ends, make sure who ever trim your ends comb your hair straight down and trim the bottom and also trim THROUGH your hair not just the bottom. You will then need to condition your hair and keep your scalp oiled. Stop wearing pony tails (I know its hard) for a while and don't use alot of heat on your hair.Black hair growth??
if u can find shampoo with out the sodium larfate sultrate (sp?) it will make ur hair healthy n grow alot better. theres some at health store n i hear a new one is going to be on paid programs soon. that ingredient is a soap/stripper n lathers. it makes it brittle. i had it(cream syle shampoo with out that ingretient) once but it was 10.00 a bottle. i could tell a big diff in just 2 days. good luck
Well, theres the hairgrowth oil on this site-
exp though- but made a difference in 2 weeks- something geisha used.
A friend of mine who's black used it too- and hers grew way slower than mine- After a month later, I saw her, and it was longer and bit thicker - I mean noticeably longer
And hmm, we both love their eyelash lengthern - my lashes are va-va-voom now, and she stopped mascara too.

yah i have an older cousin who has long wavy hair and he is dark complected. hair usually grows 1/2'; a monthh.
so hope i helped(:BLACK HAIR GROWTH.....?
Keep straightening it to keep it longer and after a while, by straightening it, it stretches your hair which makes it longer. I also helps to keep it out of water a lot and to keep putting hair lotion and grease on it. That is what I did last summer and now and my hair cut when I was little and it was right above my shoulder. But right before school started, my hair was below shoulder-length. I hope I helped!!!

i would say try wild growth oil it worked for me for a while. i dont know if ur hair is healther becasue it would work better.Black Hair Growth Products.......? Do they Really Make Our Hair Grow????
I have found that natural products work best such as vatika oil, can be purchased at amazon.com which has coconut oil in it. Use the coconut oil on the ends of your hair especially. I have been using this product and it works pretty well. Also if you use heat on your hair at all I would suggest cutting that down to a minimum that will help keep breakage at bay.
I use the entire line of doo-gro wash my wash once a week, brush my hair 30/45 min every day use a satin wrap and pilliow case and take GNC Hair Skin %26amp; Nail vitmain and I have about 2 inches of grow a month I swear by the doo-gro and GNC if you want email me and I will give your further details
no i used all of those products and they just take my hair out thats y i stopped using them it has too much stuff in them half of the stufgf u cant even read so i went to usen royal crown it only has petrolatum,olive oil,and fragrance and its been workin for me dont get into all that other stuff it just takes ur hair out by dryin
haha,lame.how is it possible to buy something to make ur hair grow faster?its IMPOSSIBLE.is there something to make me grow taller and taller?no.thas wat i thought.
Lavender oil has been shown to increase hair growth so massage the oil once a week and soak for 30 minutes before washing. Try http://solutionsforhairgrowth.blogspot.c鈥?/a> for more details.
i dont think they do work i think it is just a con

Black Hair growth question?
Is my regimen good enough to grow my hair long and healthy? I have relaxed hair that's chin length because i trimmed it *:)
Nu-Gro Shampoo (1st rinse)
Nu-Gro Conditioner
Carols Daughter Shampoo (2nd rinse)
Aphogee Keratin 2 minute Re constructor
I plan to purchase: ChI silk infusion, and possibly the Aphogee Leave-in Moisturizer.
Since I just started my hair regimen, I plan to stay away from heat completely, massage my scalp, wear protective hair styles, stretch my perm for 6 months, and trim my edges.
Any more suggestions?Black Hair growth question?
Lavender oil - It is a popular oil for hair growth. It has been proved that application of lavender oil on regular basis has a significant effect on the growth of hair.
Jojoba oil - This hair oil can be used if your hair type is dry. Jajoba oil will help to moisturize your dry hair when applied on regular basis. It can also be used before shampooing your hair to get a tangle free soft hair.
Olive oil - Olive oil when applied on regular basis helps to strengthen your hair and improve the hair quality. This is because it helps to reduce the stress and also provide elasticity to your hair.
Castor oil - Commonly used for hair growth. However this oil is very sticky so it can also be used in combination with other hair oils like coconut oil or almond oil for best results.
Coconut oil - Coconut oil is commonly used for dry and damaged hair as it provides appropriate lubricant. The different nutrients in coconut oil like calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium provide good nourishment for the hair.
Almond oil - Almond oil helps to repair and strengthen your hair.Black Hair growth question?
You must be looking at youtube with Ateyaaa. I went out and bought all that aphogee stuff from watching the hair regime. Then it was the nu-gro regime. I couldn't spend anymore money to buy nu-gro. and before i bought that aphogee stuff i waited a while and watched all those you tube videos. I don't know if i'm gonna keep that aphogee stuff or sell the rest of it. Just buy what works for your hair. Im still trying to figure out what is good for my hair.
