I'm in the same boat as you. Just keep your hair condition and braided but make sure the braids aren't to tight. That will break you hair off. Just remember to use a deep condition at least twice week.

Hi, I went to beauty school for a bit...you can maybe use some conditioning treatments...i know they sell things like that for african american hair, especially if you go to a beauty supply store...wal-mart has them too i beleive. I cant remember the brands off hand...have you thought about extensions til the hair grows out?

Try Aussie 3 minute miracle. DROWN your hair in it and leave on for about 10 minutes, then rinse. Only rinse for about 30 seconds. (you can 'leave in' any conditioner). Repeat this once a week.



Also, take a multi-vitamin. In a few weeks you should start to see results. Good luck!

She probably has extensions in her hair to make it look longer than it really is.

get a good boars bristle brush %26amp; brush your hair to the scalp every night..%26amp; i dont mean scratch ya scalp all up...it just needs blood circulation to help get that hair growing. i have went bald 3 times in my life %26amp; it grows back pretty fast...but now that im a lil older its a lil slower...but its growing with good care....dont wash you hair too much...try washing it once every two weeks instead...i know some people will freak out over that but it helps the natural oils from your scalp to get to your hair beyond the roots...also...if ya have fine hair...%26amp; ya want bone straight hair...go for Caucasian hair relaxers or relaxers made for fine hair...in the mean time..brush every night...wash a little less...%26amp; try not to do anything to your hair all the time...i walk around my house with a mess on my head so i wont damage it...lol ! the only time i do it...is if im leaving the house !

This is going to sound ridiculous, but pre-natal vitamins can really help your hair grown. Try taking vitamins that have vitamin B, C, and E. Beta-Carotene is good too. My hair grows much better when I am on some type of vitamin or another.

Make sure you keep your ends trimmed. Use a good moisturizing and fortifying shampoo. Get a reconstructor conditioner like 5-1 by Avlon and a regular conditioner Humecto (Keracare) Mizani has good conditioners. If you curl your hair everyday STOP!! Technically the only time you are supposed to curl your hair is when it has just been shampooed. Once you start curling it with a build up of products on your hair that's when it starts breaking.

At walmart/dollar store (i dont know if its any other place) but theres this type of oil in the african american section for hair



that makes your hair more oily and brings back life. It also works for white people (im white %26amp; it works for me fine).

No one told you relaxers damage hair??? Because of relaxers you must take VERRRRY good care of your hair if you want it to grow. If you don't, your hair will grow, but BREAK off so it looks like it's staying the same forever.



Okay, here is my advice, I know a lot about hair care so this might sound crazy but you can either take my advice or not grow your hair.



First of all, keep your hair moisturized. This is as simple as wetting it in the shower, or wetting your hands and running them through your hair. DO NOT buy any moisturizer that has MINERAL OIL or PETROLATUM!



2)use a wide tooth comb(SPARINGLY!!!) to avoid hairs breaking.



3)Wash your hair AT LEAST!!!!! once a week with shampoo. I wash mine with JUST conditioner sometimes too.



4)after shampooing, DEEP CONDITION by putting condish on your hair and putting a plastic cap over it and leaving it on for 15-30 minutes



5)massage your scalp daily



6)do not put any oils or "grease" on your scalp. Same goes with hair.
