Basically, all African Americans have one of the most beautiful hair types. African American hair grows as fast as ANY other hair type. Growing hair is problematic due to natural hair frizz, chemical treatments, and a lack of knowledge on how to care for African American hair. This makes them more brittle. Such hair is beautiful in itself, but it is too vulnerable if not properly cared for, as is African American or pigmented skin. If you follow these tips, you will have beautiful, luxurious hair!

Steps

1. 1 Wash or condition your hair (use conditioner as a shampoo for aka conditioning) with at least a moisturizing shampoo for healthy African American hair growth.
2. 2 Deep condition your hair with a moisturizing conditioner about once a month for 15-30 minutes under plastic wrap. Adjust your hair dryer to keep your hair strong and supple.
3. 3 After conditioning your hair, add a moisturizing leave-in conditioner followed by oil to "seal" the internal moisture.
4. 4 For styling, it is best to limit direct exposure to heat. Great ways to create hairstyles that avoid harmful heating appliances are: rollers, micro braids, micro curls, and natural air drying. If you still need to use hair warmers, apply a heat shielding silicone spray or serum to your hair before using it. This will ensure that the hair is protected, to say the least. * * Remember that thermal protection can only help a little. Do not expect miracles from them. * *
5. 5 Moisturize your hair every day with a moisturizer and fix the result with a light oil.
6. 6 Gently care for your strands at night using a silk or satin headscarf.
7. 7 Try braids or braids to reduce breakage and hair loss.
8. 8 Make sure your hair is sufficiently hydrated.

Tips

• Always lubricate your scalp. Never leave your hair unstained. Such hair requires special attention.
• Keep heating tools as far away from your hair as possible. If you use them, apply a heat shielding silicone spray or serum.Remember, they do not 100% protect hair from heat damage, but they do at least provide partial protection.
• Eat right, exercise often, and take biotin.
• DO NOT RUB your hair with a towel. Press it down gently.
• Try not to scratch your scalp when washing your hair. Instead, gently massage your head.
• Try to blow-dry your hair when it is tied up in braids / braids.
• Use a wide-toothed comb to prevent breakage and avoid fine-toothed combs / brushes.
• Keep your hair pleasant and hydrated.
• Cover your hair with a silk or satin kerchief overnight!
• If you decide to tie your hair in pigtails, try not to make it too tight.

Warnings

• DO NOT brush your hair roughly with a comb or brush, as this will cause hair loss and breakage.
• African American women CAN grow long and healthy hair like every other race in the world. It just takes time and persistence.
