Though this is actually not true at all, African American hair has the misconception that it is very hard to grow. Because it relies on too many remedies and treatments with too many commercial hair care products, this is in fact the problem with growing African American hair. Also, it is a fact that African American hair care products tend to do more harm to hair than it does any good. With this said, during this article, to help you grow your hair stronger and faster, we will discuss some tips you can use.

 

It is recommended to relax your hair every 4 weeks or so, if you are trying to grow afro hair. If you do this more than advised you need to be careful, as it could cause breakage and do more damage than intended.

 

One of the other tips you can use to grow your afro hair strong and long is to not wear braids. If you do decide to wear braids and they are too tight, the braids could cause unwanted hair loss due to tightening and pulling. If you are interested in making your afro grow stronger and faster, putting the least amount of stress on it is crucial. As advised, if you do decide to relax your hair, it is important that you use the most effective relaxer, but one that will not stress or damage your hair. If you are interested in having thick and strong hair, you need to create a routine of using non-alcohol shampoo, deep conditioners and hot oil treatments every single week.

 

As your hair is growing, you are most likely going to want to style it, in which case you need to use a leave in conditioner or pomade. Because they could cause hair loss due to blocked pores, you should also never use heavy greases like petroleum jelly on your hair.

 

One of the single best ways to grow long and strong afro hair is to use the un-relaxed technique and this technique will give you the longest and strongest natural growing hair possible. Using the simplest hair care products or absolutely none at all is actually the fastest way to grow the healthiest head of hair possible.

 

Dreadlocks is another good way to grow a healthy thick head of hair. This could be because the hair you would typically shed is stuck underneath the dreads, which gives your hair a much thicker look, but for some reason your tresses seem to grow much faster with them.

 

If you are someone who would still like to use a product, with all of this said, one of the best curly hair products available on the market today is oil.
