African-American hair and it's potential growth...?

I know that African-American hair only grows like half an inch per month or something like that, but if a person takes really good care (moisturizing, using natural products, not gettin gperms as much, healthy diet, etc..) of their hair, could that amount per month change? if so, how much could it potentially grow per month??

Most peoples hair only grows about half an inch per month. If you were to do all of the things you have listed it probably will not make much of a difference in how fast your hair grows, just the thickness and health.

African-American hair and it's potential growth...?

Afro textured hair grows at the same rate as any other hair.

Hair is hair is hair, made up of the same proteins and cells. The difference lies in the shape of the hair follicle and the density of the layers of the hair strand. Because of this difference, you can't use European methods of hair styling and care because those methods don't produce the same results on Afro textured hair.

For instance, generally speaking, Afro textured hair in its natural state, has a sheen, not a shine. That's simply because of the way it reflects light. So no amount of oils, serums and glosses are going to make your hair shine like the model's in the hair ads.

Our hair is very versatile, but tends to be fragile and therefore needs special care and pampering to maintain it's length. Afro hair is almost always curly, although the amount of curl varies enormously. Afro textured hair can be brittle and has a tendency to split and break. This is because our sebaceous glands sometimes produce smaller amounts of sebum to moisturize the hair. In addition, because our hair is tightly curled, the sebum is unable to travel downwards to condition it naturally. If the curl forms kinks, this makes the hair thinner, which can be weaker at each bend. Still other types of Black hair can be very fine with additional challenges.

Chemically straightening Afro textured hair is the most damaging because the chemicals literally destroy the cuticle and break down the hair shaft. The reason that most Black women have shorter hair is because of breakage. Why does the hair break? Because of the harsh treatment we give it. We strip it of its moisture in every way we possibly can! So after a period of time (short for some, a little longer for others) the need for a cut to camouflage the damage done to your hair will become evident. So if your getting your ends trimmed every time you get a touch-up, there goes your 1/2" - 1" of growth for the month.

I would suggest that you look into natural (no chemical) hair styling. For most that means letting go of the mind-set that hair has to be straight and silky to be beautiful.

Hair doesn't have to be straight or long to be beautiful, it simply has to be healthy and well groomed.
