Traumatic Experience With Sew In
23/06/11 22:05
Question: Last
summer I had traumatic experience in which I got a
sew-in done and it broke my hair off on one side of
my hair. Now my hair on that side does not grow at
all. It is really depressing considering the fact
that I was accustom to my long nice, healthy hair.
I cut it to get it to grow back and I have seen
little to hardly any improvement. What should I do?
Answer: I am sorry to hear about your experience with the sew in. The fact that you didn't keep it for that long is a good thing, because that should help you in growing back your hair. What you want to do is pamper all of your hair, but especially the part that is not growing as fast as it should. You didn't say how you are wearing your hair currently, but if you can, I would avoid wearing wigs, braids, hats for long periods of time, using flat irons, hair brushes, or anything that puts pressure or tension on your hair follicles. I would also massage a small amount of a natural hair oil every day to that part of your scalp where the hair has been damaged to stimulate hair growth in that area. Also, be patient with your hair. When it is not damaged or broken, hair only grows about 1/4" to 1/2" a month. Growing hair, when it has been damaged, will take patience and some time.

Question: How
long does it take using your hair care products and
12 steps for growing black hair to grow my hair
right above my stomach?
Answer: I would like to be able to give you an answer such as "It takes *** weeks to grow your hair using my products and book to right about your stomach" but that wouldn't be truthful. How long it will take to grow your hair to where you want it to be depends on several things including: how long your hair is now - is it short, medium length or long? the condition of your hair today. what you are doing to your hair (the other products you use, the tools you use, the hair dressers you go to if any, etc.)
Our products and book can help you achieve longer, healthier hair, but because there are so many factors out of our control we can't promise you a specific timeframe. Under normal circumstances healthy hair grows about 1/4" to 1/2" per month.

Hair Is Long and Thin - I Want It To Grow

Question: My
hair is very thin and i have a bald spot on the
right side of my hair. I want my hair to grow thick
and full. It's long but thin. What can I do? please
help i wear my hair in braids alot to.
Answer: If you haven't done so, I encourage you to read the article on our site "Six Tips For Black Hair Growth" . Many Black women suffer from traction alopecia from wearing tight braids, extensions, hair pieces, hair rubbers, and wigs. If worn frequently, these will pull the hair out and cause the hairline to recede. Relaxers, dyes, and excessive heat also cause hair loss. You should reconsider your hair styling methods, and use methods and products that pamper and nourish your hair, instead of pull it out. Our book "Twelve Steps For Growing Black Hair" talks about how to take care of your hair. You can see a free preview at http://www.black-hair-growth.info/Twelve-Steps-Preview.html. You may also want to visit our site at http://www.natural-black-hair-care.info which talks about how to care for natural hair. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Tips For Styling Medium Length Natural African Hair
04/03/10 19:57
Question: Found
your site while looking for different ways to style
medium length african hair naturally. Do you have
any recommendations for safe styling for this
length? Mine is about mid back length when
stretched. Thanks in advance.
Answer: To maintain natural medium length afro textured hair, my recommendations regardless of the style you choose are:
1. Keep your hair soft by using gentle, natural hair care products (shampoos, hair oils, conditioners). Avoid mineral oil, petrolatum, and sulfates in your hair care products because they lead to hair dryness which can cause hair breakage.
2. Avoid styles that pull on your hairline. Tight braids, weaves, extensions, etc. if done frequently enough cause traction alopecia.
One method of maintaining natural afro hair is with wet styling. That is where you use conditioners and oils to bring out the natural wave pattern in your hair. You can vary the styles daily (if you have the time) or leave a style in for a week at a time. It is an all natural method of hair care that can look very beautiful if done properly.
