1. Diet
Your hair is part of
your body and that means what you eat will directly affect the health of your
hair if it’s not nutritional. Things that need to be consumed in your diet
should be rich in iron, protein, vitamin B12 and
omega-3 fatty acids.
Talk with a physician
about your vitamin intake and ask him or her about the choices for increasing
the growth of your hair. Vitamin E has been shown to help with the growth of
hair as well as preventing hair loss.
3. Natural Oils
Castor oil, Jojoba
oil and Olive oil are absolutely great when it comes to growing your natural
hair out. They help seal and coat your hair for optimum moisture which helps
keep the strands from breaking off due to dryness. Reduce brittle and more.
4. Trim Those Ends
It may seem like an
oxymoron to say “Trim Hair for Growth” but trust us it’s not. If you don’t
learn to properly trim your hair and remove dead ends you will suffer more hair
breakage. You should be trimming the bottom 1/4 to 1/2 inch of hair every two
to three months or as needed. This is NOT a haircut. Trim those ends before
they break off on their own and create split ends which will travel up the
shaft and destroy your length.
This tip is ALL about
hair retention. It’s a fact that hair grows an average of half an inch a month
or 6-inches a year which means that if you are not seeing at least 4 to
5-inches a year as an African American man or woman you are NOT retaining this
length. To keep your hair from breaking off try NOT to manipulate it so often.
That means cutting down on styling and and increasing the hair maintenance.
Make sure you moisturize your hair and seal in that moisture, but more
importantly you must protect your ends. These are the oldest portions of your
hair and they must be taken care of. Protective styles will increase hair retention along with
proper haircare underneath.
Listed below are the best options to explore for protective styling.
