Question about african american hair.?

why do black girls hair stay at one length for a LONNGG period of time and never seem to grow.Im half black but my hair grows and grows and grows.

but why is it like this for almost all black people is it because they cant take care of there hair properly or its just reached it maximum

Question about african american hair.?

Well im full black, actually 100% Haitian. My hair grows and grows, because I take good care of my hair. Every two weeks I wash %26amp; treatment my hair and every 2 months I get my hair relaxed. I dont do my hair at home, I do it a salon. I think that is the main reason why 'black' hair don't grow. Everyones hair is different. Some people have a healthy head of hair and others dont. If you see your hair doesn't grow you should consider doing your hair at a salon or just change your stylist.

Question about african american hair.?

Question about african american hair.?

I know how to take care of my hair. I regret the ones that you may have seen and not take care of their hair the way you deem as proper. However let's be fair!!!. There are some other races that do not take care of their hair as well as society deems fit.

How come it seems only caucasions get lice in their hair?

Question about african american hair.?

I am african-american and I can't speak for all of them, but I cut my hair up to my ears in August and it's now down to the middle of my back.

Question about african american hair.?

Hm..That's a good question.

First of all, Half-Black is originally called Half-Caste or Mulatto.

It's just the way their hair is really. Like, Egyptians have curly hair, South Asians have hair that bends sort of. African-Americans have thick hair. I think it happens through heritance and environmental.

Question about african american hair.?

Black hair is more coarse and thicker. As for your misconception that Black people can not take care of their hair properly, that's not correct. Black hair takes more care and attention, hair growth has nothing to do with how much care is taken with it.

My suggestion for you is to find and read books on black culture and especially black hair care.

Question about african american hair.?

I am a black girl and in July i got my hair cut about 2 inches shorter. My hair always seems to stay at the same length. I take care of it but dont like to wear it down often. Its mostly in a ponytial. My hair did break at some point or by now it would probably be a little longer than shoulder length.

Question about african american hair.?

it has to do with genetics. its the difference between why native americans have extremely "rapunzel type" long hair....your hair may grow long but it takes longer on average for a black person to grow their hair the same length as a caucasian or other "lighter skinned races"

Question about african american hair.?

cause a lot of then dont take care of there hair i know what you mena it's girls like that at my school,and cause tehre hair is really danmage i go to the salon and get my hair done and relaxed ever 2 mothns within a week my hair is gtrowing already

Question about african american hair.?

Yea some people may not take care of their hair but that also applies to all races.

The reason why it takes a LONNGG time for black hair to grow is because our hair is curly or kinky at the roots. When we have new growth it comes out wavy. Now think about this visually as if you were threading a needle; when you use a straight piece of thread it goes directly in the hole easily and you can pull it through. Now try to tread up a crumbled and jagged piece of thread it's harder to get it through.

Our hair takes longer to push through the scalp and grow.

Mixed people are often 'blessed' with hair that doesn't have this texture and is fairly easy to manage in nature. So don't assume everyone doesn't take care of their hair, just remember everyone isn't blessed with the better hair gene.

Growing my African american hair fast?

MY hair grows slow due to eczema of the scalp. is there any way or any product to grow my hair faster???

or something i can eat or do to naturally grow it out??? i know keeping the hair and scalp moisturized helps, what about massaging my scalp???

Growing my African american hair fast?

It sounds like you might need to talk to a dermatologist! Putting the wrong thing on your scalp might make things worse (it might clog pores). I don't have eczema, but have hair loss, and my dermatologist gave me a special strengthening shampoo that helped.

Growing my African american hair fast?

messaging always helps..

Growing my African american hair fast?

that helps. and even though you may not want to because it seems like you're cutting your hair off, you should get regular trims. make sure you still wash your hair on a schedule that works for you and try not to use too many chemicals. also the more you allow your hair to be free of chemicals, the better. light conditioners help to protect from breakage (optimum's moisture replenisher), and you should try to wait at list six weeks before putting a relaxer in your hair again. if you can, try to use an herbal relaxer (motions herbal relaxer) or something without a lot of harsh chemicals in it. good luck.

Growing my African american hair fast?

If you want hair to grow faster, you have to take supplements that work on your body chemistry to support hair's growth and strength at its genesis.....once it has grown out, it is just dead keratin

Try GNC, they make a supplement called "Nourishair" in formulas for men and women..they are HUGE pills and you have to take 2 daily. There is also a "Hair skin and nails" formula from Andrew Lessman that you can google, that has great ingredients and is easier to swallow, made by ProCaps labs. You can also take large doses of Biotin, sometimes called Vitamin H, take no less than 2500 micrograms daily to support healthy hair growth. IT may take 6 to 8 weeks to see results.

Why is african american hair looked down upon and any other type of hair is treasured?

I have always wondered why thick hair isn't as desired as thin hair. Is this just me or is this true?

Why is african american hair looked down upon and any other type of hair is treasured?

I have had African American friends tell me that managing their hair is a full time job and have resorted to straightening or very short hair.

I think it has more to do with our fast paced lives than being looked down upon.

Straight thin hair is just easier to manage.

I'm sorry you feel this way, maybe your perception of it is not accurate.

I live in California and maybe we are just more tolerant and accepting of different cultures.

Look for the good in people and you will surely find it....

Why is african american hair looked down upon and any other type of hair is treasured?

as a white girl with thin hair, i can honestly say, do what? i have never heard of this. could be a style thing or it could be you hang with the wrong crowd. i have a cousin with hair that is more wiry, curly and thick than anyone i know, white or black. she loves her hair so more power to her. accept yourself and your hair. good luck.

I look down on rediculous purple or yellow braids and weaves my people be havin.

African American hair sweat when working out what should I do to minimize?

Im in college and in my kin class we do excercises that involves a lot of sweating I have a class afterward should I leave my hair wrapped while working out or put into a ponytail . Would wraping it stop it from sweating so much and looking frizzy?

African American hair sweat when working out what should I do to minimize?

you can wrap it before the workout but make sure to keep all the hair away from the forehead. if you wrap it too loosely, the hair resting on your forehead will get damp and frizz.

i find that the best thing to do is just put it in a ponytail. there is no real way of preventing the roots from sweating out. but to keep the ends crisp, just put them in a position that keeps them away from your face and neck.

African American hair sweat when working out what should I do to minimize?

I have the same problem.My hair is really soft %26amp;when I sweat,I sweat.Leavin it wrapped in a scarf only made me hotter during my workout,so now I just leave it in a ponytail.I'm thinkin about getting a weave somethin manageable so that I can workout %26amp; still look good w/o the frizzies.Any suggestions? Report It

African American hair sweat when working out what should I do to minimize?

a wrap would probably work better because a ponytail could get frizzy 2 but if it stayed in a wrap it probably would reduce frizziness

African American hair sweat when working out what should I do to minimize?

I would try keeping it wrapped, if that doesn't work then I would just get Micro braids. A relaxer should minimize the frizzies though. BUT, WON'T THE SCARF MAKE YOU HOTTER?

African American hair sweat when working out what should I do to minimize?

i dont know i have never tried a wrap but me and all my friends put all our hairs in a ponytail i also think it is healthier for hair im not sure but a friend told me that

African American hair is most fragile while it's wet.?

After i apply my leave in conditioner, when is the best time to comb my hair, to minimize breakage and shedding.

African American hair is most fragile while it's wet.?

I think you can use a wide toothed comb and gently comb is through, and then let it dry/dry it and then brush or comb however you want.

Yeah...everyone's hair is most fragile when wet, that's why sleeping with wet hair is bad. (I learned that the hard way). I'm glad you are being sensitive to it! (-=

African American hair is most fragile while it's wet.?

After you wash, rinse, and squeeze out most of water; then wrap hair in a towel for a few minutes to blot up more moisture [ don't rub hair with towel ], apply leave-in conditioner, and COMB [ no brushing while wet either ] out tangles.

Be sure to use a good deep conditioner two to four times a month as well.

African American hair is most fragile while it's wet.?

Do not listen to above. Only comb it in when it is wet, especially if it is relaxed. African American hair is intensely dry (most dry of other races) so it is best to comb it when it is wet and full of conditioner.

African American hair is most fragile while it's wet.?

as soon as you put in the leave in conditioner. it will help detangle the hair but once the hair is dried and hasn't been combed it can get matted and knotted. just comb it gently and you should be ok

African American hair styling(bonding tracks) glue in extenstions?

ok so i just got my first realxer and it been 3 weeks and i want to put a few tracks in with bonding glue not the (black) glue i'll use the clear gold bond glue i heard it was safer...i just want o know what are the do's and dont's and how to keep my hair healthy,,,and from breaking... thanks

African American hair styling(bonding tracks) glue in extenstions?

First don't is don't put the bond to close to the scalp, start about a cm away from the scalp. second don't is don't use to much conditioner when shampooing your hair w/ the extensions in because it can weaken the bond. third don't is don't get a relaxer while the extensions are in because they will just come right out. and when you to take them out use bond remover and be careful so you won't have any breakage. You don't really need to wash your hair that much it will make your hair look better and last longer. Good luck. Hope I helped. Please add me to your contacts and email me w/ any hair questions you have via yahoo answers.

African American hair styling(bonding tracks) glue in extenstions?

What about braiding you hair and sewing the tracks to that? I think that would be a lot safer and less messy.

African American hair styling(bonding tracks) glue in extenstions?

Do's

-Follow the relaxers guide on how long til you weave

-Use a cream on your roots every once in while to keep it fresh

-Shampoo with a gentle formula (same for conditioner)

-Try not to swim and get it too wet

-Before you apply, put a lil bit of cooking oil on yer hair for softness

Donts'

-the opposite of evrything above

Omg, you should visit this website http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/. It will answer every question you have about styling and caring for your hair no matter the texture.

African American hair styling(bonding tracks) glue in extenstions?

I have used the Black Glue. It did take my hair out. I of course, applied it myself and tried to take it out myself.

I didn't know they had clear Bond Glue, But Glue is Glue. Just be extra careful putting it in. Get someone, who you feel you can trust, to be careful applying it to your hair, and when you are ready to take it out, have that someone you trust take it out carefully. so as not to cause damage to your own hair. Good Luck.

African American hair styling(bonding tracks) glue in extenstions?

first off i dont think getting a sow-in is better because it is pulling on the braid an there is a guarantee of some breakage but it does make you look more natural an pretty...... if you glue in your hair try not to get the glue on your hair and when you wanna take it out use some type of oily oil sheen or baby oil and once you get it out wash your hair to get the glue out.

African American hair styling(bonding tracks) glue in extenstions?

MAKE SURE YOUR HAIR IS STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE GLUE.

WHEN PARTING THE HAIR MAKE SURE YOUR HAIR IS LAID GOOD SO WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT IT WONT PULL LOOSE STRANDS .DO NOT PUT ALOT OF GLUE ON THE TRACK CUZ IT WILL HURT WHEN U TAKE IT OUT N MIGHT PULL SOME HAIR OUT AS WELL.MAKE SURE ITS COVERED GOOD THO CUZ U DONT WANT IT TO BE LOOSE N 2 DAYS.WHEN APPLYING THE TRACK DONT APLY ON THE SCALP OR ON THE ROOT JUST A LIL BELOW THE ROOT OF YOUR HAIR TAKE SUM SPRITZ AND SPRAY ON THE TRACK ADD PRESSURE AS WELL.THEN TAKE A BLOW DRYER AND RUN IT ACROSS THE TRACK 4 TIMES.MAKE SURE YOU COMB EACH TRACK AFTER SO YOUR HAIR WONT BE TANGLE.

USE A GOOD FLAT IRON TO MAKE YOUR HAIR LOOK NATURAL .

P.S WRAP YOUR HAIR FOR BOUT A WEEK BEFORE PUTTING IN TRACKS IT WILL GIVE U THAT BOUNCE AND YOU WONT HAVE TO USE SO MUCH HEAT

PSS.WHEN TAKING THEM OUT USE BABY OIL OR OLIVE OIL ,AND MASSAGE THE SCALP DONT TRY TO GLUE YOUR TRACKS BACK IN IF THEY COME LOOSE BY YOUR SELF.IM TELLING YOU ,YOU WILL MESS UP !!!

African American hair styling(bonding tracks) glue in extenstions?

yeh i sew tracks...but remember if you used glue, glue to the scalp* not hair.
