In this article I want to show you how to grow black long hair!
To begin the most powerful tip for growing black hair long and strong is to STOP using chemicals on your hair. Simply put your hair up on cute buns and once in a while it\’s ok to use a hot comb. If you did just this one suggestion you would have strong African hair
You also need to stay away from commercial hair shampoos and conditioners! Use a herbal shampoo at worst, even better is to use a hair oil and wash your hair with luke warm water
If you want to grow your hair fast, stay away from washing your hair with hot water! How water will weaken your hair roots and lead to hair loss and scalp damage!
Next suggestion I have is to wash your hair more often with water. Once a week just won’t do if you want to grow black long hair. The best frequency to wash your hair to grow long black hair is every other day and make sure that it does not dry out
If you are concerned about which hair style to use when growing long hair simply put some leave-in conditioner in your hair and put in some clips or just wear your hair down naturally.
If you used these simple suggestions I have just given, in about a year your hair will have grown a few inches longer.
Another hair growth tip is: Do not use relaxers, etc.
You can get long hair without chemicals (relaxers)
Another hair growth tip is make sure that you keep moisturizing your hair with an all natural hair oil like Mira hair oil as drying out of the hair and scalp is the major cause of hair loss or hair weakening with African hair
I also suggest you use all natural hair oil like Mira hair oil.
Other tips include: make sure you deep condition your hair. And if you are going to blow dry it make sure you do so in sections and moisturize with a good hair oil before doing so. To do this just takes a section of hair and comb it while blow drying it. This is the best method of moisturizing and straightening your long black hair without having to use a hot comb.
Use the oil bi weekly and wear braids and ponytails
Finally I should mention that if you do want to straighten your hair make sure to use a flat iron and not a perm. You will get the same hair growth results with a less harsh process.

Simple suggestions to grow long thick and beautiful hair !
First and foremost drink lots of water – I am talking about 8-12 glasses of water a day. Carry a bottle around with you and make sure you get this intake of water; water will flush your body of all the harmful toxins in it and will also create equilibrium in your body promoting healthy hair growth
Second Rule for growing long hair
Leave your hair alone- it is has to be natural!
Remember many of the products and hairstyles designed for African hair are unsuitable for African hair, be proud of your hair and stop wanting it look like something it is not! You will notice that when it comes to black hair, that those individuals who leave their hair alone have great hair, for instance a lot of black people with dreads have stunning hair growth compared to the ones who do too much with it.
Black hair is not designed by nature to through presses and all heavy chemical use
Again black hair grows better if it’s left alone. You can test it and see, if you have breakages you can just not do anything to it , meaning don’t press it, don’t style it, then apply any product to it just leave it alone or at worst wear it as a ponytail or wear it down. Your hair will be back to its original length in a year.
If you absolutely have to flat iron/press/straighten) your hair, please do so every two weeks or less. Please make sure you don’t do it everyday or every week.
Fact is heat and chemicals are not good for your hair.
Another grow long hair secret is: make sure you avoid chemical gels, you need to stop doing and using these gels, they truly stunt your hair growth!
Finally use good herbal oil like Mira which contains essentially oils and herbs that will nourish your scalp and hair-use the oil every two days…
Next point is when you go to sleep or take a nap, put something silk over your hair, or under the part you are sleeping on, this makes sure that when you move your head and hair you don’t pull your hair along with the movement which causes your hair to break
Finally be sure to MASSAGE YOUR SCALP, it is best to massage your scalp when putting oil on it. If you do want your hair to look stylish as you grow it you can use braids or cornrows
I personally recommend French braids or cornrows , make sure however that you don’t get them back to back
next hair growth tip is -do not style your hair with water, many black women do this, they use water to tame or slick their hair down , fact is water used that way seems to do more damage to your hair, rather use natural oils like I mentioned and tame your hair with that
Finally, wash your hair often, a clean scalp and healthy unclogged hair follicles is the key to longer healthy black hair. There is a myth that African hair should not be washed often because it becomes dry, this is not true, use the suggestions and the oil I recommended and you will never have this problem.
