10 Tips to help you grow your child’s hair LONGER than you ever Imagined!

1   Do not Style baby hair!– this is a crime so many are guilty of!!  Its so cruel to add bobbles and clips to infant scalps… it also creates pressure and can retard growth!

2   Do  not add extensions that weigh more than the child’s bodyweight!!– I see this all of the time a child with fine fragile hair, that is being dragged out the scalp by a 6lb bag of braiding hair!  Keep it light, allow the hair to live a little!

3   Moisturise Daily like brushing teeth, teach your child that also- make it a routine thing from birth.  Whilst you teach them to count, teach them to Spray their hair daily or even wet it in the bath or shower!

4   Do not believe what Granny says- ‘she doesn’t have good hair or growing hair’  Our children have the ability to grow up-to 4 inches or more of hair every year- its what we do to it that means we do not see that growth!

5   Do NOT Neglect their SCALPS! – Children like adults have the same roots and follicles within their scalps, nourishment for healthy growth comes from the blood! massage the scalp to increase hair growth- use a natural scalp oil

6   Do not use hair grease- a)It will not hydrate anything  and  b) Its really good for babies bottoms not your child’s scalp or hair!

7   Deep condition your child’s hair with a natural conditioner– do this weekly! it will retain length and its not just for ADULT HAIR!!

8   Wash your child’s hair at least 1 x a week!– keeping the scalp clean will increase  hair-growth- roots need to be clean to push out new hair!

9  Do not comb your child’s hair–  adopt a Blue Ivy regime!!  it will save your child 1000’s of lost strands and length!!  Honestly!

10   Adopt FUN protective styles for the first 3-4 years of the child’s life if a baby or if an older child start now- Make a goal for super long hair!  work towards it!  Picture the PROGRESS!
