I once heard it said that you should not try to be extra cute during the length retention phase. Many of us have neither the time nor the energy to devote hours at the weekend to detangling errant strands in small sections. And even if you are extra careful, some degree of breakage will still occur with weekly detangling. The only way to ensure that you are retaining more than you grow is to reduce the number of times you manipulate your hair.
This means long term protective styling, until you reach your goal length. This is a style that does not require you to comb, brush or manipulate your hair in any way for weeks or months on end. So box braids, cornrows, sew ins, twists and other such styles qualify as long term protective. I stumbled on a hair care forum back in frustrated with my breaking relaxed hair and the information that I found there changed the fate of my hair, and quite possibly my life, forever!
I immediately started to transition to natural hair and started BlackHairInformation. I have now achieved my goal length and I continue to help others achieve their dreams too. My three passions are hair, art and entrepreneurship and I love to be able to bring my unique view on hair growth and successful hair journeys to our readers. I am an eternal optimist and workaholic. Mine grows at different rates. The looser texture grows at the average rate.
It grows this way even while in protective styles. The only thing that speeds up the slow growth is regular scalp massages using essential oils mixed with a carrier oil. Then the rate almost evens out.
I think proper moisturization and healthy diet is key. Black hair is the driest. Without moisture, no matter how much protective styling or exotic products we use, our hair will NOT grow. I think it will always be a combination of various factors — diet most important , protective styling, use of right products and being fairly consistent with your hair care routine to encourage growth.
It is not rocket science but it is something that you have to sort of play by ear to see what method works based on your hair type and your hair styling habits. Need daily handholding.. I think that hair growth varies from person to person. It is different for every individual. I personally suggest to just eat healthy in order to feed your hair the nutrients that it needs.
And do not neglect the scalp. It has a very important relationship with hair growth and will definitely affect the rate at which your hair grows. Daily or at least 3 times a week scalp massages will help hair grow longer. The problem is retention. Related: Fur, wool, hair: What's the difference? The average hair growth rate of Asian female participants was nearly 6 inches per year. Comparatively, African female participants' hair grew 4 inches 10 cm per year, while Caucasian female participants' hair grew a little more than 5 inches 13 cm per year.
The hair growth rate of the male participants didn't significantly differ from that found for women. At any given time, a random number of hairs will be in one of the various phases either growth, resting or hair shedding. Second, genetics and age, play a role in how fast your hair grows, and this is true regardless of ethnic background. Fact or Myth: Black women with hair loss or breakage issues can do something to prevent further damage.
