My name is O. Franklin. That is a photo of the back of my
head above. I am African-American with dry/tightly coiled
hair. Some call my hair type 4a/4b. (It’s pressed in the
picture).
After struggling with how to take care of my hair for
several years, I learned some important lessons about black
hair growth. Black hair grows just like all other hair.
However, black hair, because of its structure, is more
delicate than other types of hair.
The key to black hair growth is not a secret. The key to
growing black hair is to stop breaking it off. When I
finally realized this, and applied it to how I took care of
my hair, I saw a difference in my hair growth.
I discuss my hair growth techniques in the book Twelve Steps
For Growing Black Hair.
