HELP – My Afro Hair just…does not GROW!!
How-to grow long afro hair this year!
Here are 10 simple tips to help you grow long afro hair this year!
1 Start off with a trim
If you have split ends, you will not see hair growth this year! Your hair will be in a cycle of grow–break-grow-break! STOP this by giving your ends a good trim, with the correct hair trimming scissors. (You can grow long afro hair this year!)
2 Deep Condition weekly
If Deep conditioning is not a part of your usual weekly or 2 weekly regime, try it! Deep conditioning will give your hair a real boost of moisture and feed the strands from the inside out. If you really want to grow long afro hair this year steam your hair for even better results!
3 Protective style
If you like to try every style you see on Youtube- STOP give your hair a break with a safe protective style. A wig, weave, Kinky twists- it’s your choice- just leave it alone for periods of the year- up to 8-10 weeks each time and you will notice you grow long afro hair each time you do your protective season.
4 Check your shampoo
If you use a shampoo that leaves your hair feeling stripped and your scalp dry- check for Sulphates. Switch to a natural shampoo like our luxurious Stimulate & Cleanse shampoo with Ginger and Aloe extracts. Using a SLS free shampoo is better for your hair and scalp.
5 Start to Cowash
If you like to wash your hair midweek, or maybe you don’t? Try co-washing 1 x a week to increase your moisture levels this year. Your hair will have no chance to break if she is moisturised!
6 Treat your scalp to daily massages
Your scalp is where your hair grows from it should not be an after-thought, if it feels sore and dry- TREAT it! Using our Harvest hair growth pack indulge in weekly massages, daily usage of our oils promotes hair growth as you will increase blood to the roots under the scalp to feed them. TRY IT!
7 Layer up the moisture
Sometimes one product alon is not enough to keep hair from feeling dry, especially during the winter! Layer up your products. Create a cocktail of natural ingredients.
We love our Triple M Milk + Butter or our Honey-rain juice + Twist & Curls pudding
8 Limit heat!
Stop using heat regularly, your hair will be much stronger and retain length much easier. Heat from a blow-dryer drains hair of hydration, the same for those flat-irons!
9 Take a good hair vitamin
Try a good multi-vitamin to keep your internal hair nutrition at the optimum levels, hair is grown internally, so it needs a good balance of vits + healthy foods, proteins etc.
10 Set a goal to grow longer hair
If you have not written down how many inches of hair you want to grow, or set a goal to just look after your hair so it GROWS, then do so now. Without a goal its easy to become distracted. If you can achieve 4 inches or more this year, then why not? The year will pass by anyhow! Make it different this time.
