How do keep African American hair moisturized and maximize it's growth potential?

I currently use Aubrey Organic's products and they generally work pretty well in keeping my tresses moisturized and plus the added benefit that they contain all natural ingredients. But a couple of days after I shampoo I find my hair dry, especially on the ends. I oil my hair and scalp with almond seed oil and jojoba oil mixed together on a nightly basis and I clip my ends about every month. I also take flaxseed oil supplements as well as a daily vitamin. I also have a roughly healthy diet which is rich in leafy greens and other veggies and low in fats. The only area I may lag in is my water intake is not as high as it should be. I generally consume about 5 glasses daily rather than the 8-10 as most professionals suggest. Beside increasing my water intake, what else can I do to ensure my hair remains moisturized as well as reaching it's maximum growth potential? Thanks!

African American hair is extremely dry...You sound like you are doing a good job, but you didn't mention other factors such as how you style your hair, what you use to wrap it up at night, and how the air conditions were you live are. Those factors have to be taken into consideration as well.

Also, you mention that you oil your hair and scalp, but do you do the same to the ends of your hair? As you know, that part is the first to dry out.

If you wrap your hair at night and tie it up with a silk scarf, that should suffice, in addition to what you currently do.

After shampooing, try a cholesterol treatment once a week as an alternative to conditioning. If you do condition, try Pantene conditioner for ethnic hair...works great and doesn't make hair dry out.

By adding a hair dressing to your hair and scalp and messaging your scalp. I use Doo Gro Thickening Lotion three times a week.It works very well. I have noticed a great deal of hair growth after I use that product.
