How do I get my hair to be nice and pretty and long?

I'm African-American[means that my hair is different than white people's] and my hair used to be really long when I was younger and now it's all broken off. The front is almost to my shoulders and the back looks like it is almost there also but its all reallt really really really short. like less than an inch long in the back whilt the front is as long as 6-7 inches or more. I get my hair professionally stratighted[flat ironed] every 2 weeks, and a deep condition when they tell me it's time, and I have never usedc hair dye[although I really wanna dye it]. I heard that when you cut your hair its like cutting a weed. It grows back faster and healthier. If I was to cut my hair really short like Fantasia Barino[American Idol] about how long would it take to make it grow back to a manageable length. I will cry if I get it cut off[thats why I want to know how long I should expect to be "bald" for.]. Please answer this seriously. And thank you so much.

i am an afro-american too and i was told the same thing about cutting my hair. after much trial time and error i have found out that hair stylist are in the business to make money and that says a lot about me i am one. look my hair was dry and brittle so i keep conditioning it hot oil the whole nine yards. and it worked for a little while but, to be honest what i know from experience and from my own issues. is that. when i stopped doing so many things to my hair it did its thing on its own and grew. i keep my hair braided to keep away from curling irons and heat which makes the hair dry and brittle i keep in washed just a hygiene thing you know and i oil my hair once a week and when the braid grow out i take them out and let my hair breathe for a week and braid them up again for a month or two . and now my hair is down past my shoulders my hair was 3 inches all over and that was 6 months ago. i hoped this helped.



you are using too many products. shine is not that good for hair, it has a drying effects after a few hours. and you may want to talk with a dr. about alapicia i think i mis spelled that or if your on medication for anything it could also have adverse effects for your hair. good luck.

Maybe try braids for a few months, make sure they aren't too tight.

Leave it alone, just stick with the basics, keep it clean, conditioned, and moisturized. Don't use petroleum based products or anything containing mineral oil. Sleep with a satin cap on to reduce breakage and don't allow your ends to rub against the collars of your shirts, the rough texture will snap off hair. Don't use rubber bands, gels, or too much of anything.



If its dry, try co-washing and after you rinse the conditioner out put on a little hair oil to seal in moisture.

I don't think cutting your hair that short would be a good idea.



But do cut off the split ends.



I would suggest using natural products and massaging your scalp regulary. Also use something that will proctect your ends and wear a hairstyle that would prevent your hair from getting damage, like wear in an updo. Plus ironing ur hair causes more damage.



Carol's daughter products are good.. depending on your budget... I think the hair balm and lisa elixir is great.

Hi. It sounds like your hairdresser, or whoever is straightening your hair, has really overdone it with the heat. Heat can be okay for black hair if it is used in moderation, but if too much heat is used at too high of a temperature it will thin out your hair and cause it to break off. I straighten my own hair, but I have learned over the years that less heat is better and that the hair products you use have to be really moisturizing to help protect your hair from the heat. As far as your hair is concerned, I suggest that you stop getting your hair straightened and pursue wearing your hair in a natural style. Your hair will not get any longer as long as your hairdresser continues to burn it out with the flat iron. You may have to cut your hair down to a really short length to even out the texture, because hair that has been damaged by heat does not return to its naturally curly texture. After getting your hair cut, don't get it straightened for a long time. Give your scalp and your hair a rest. Experiment with natural styles. When it is short, just wear it in a cute afro, but as it grows longer try braids (that are not to tight) and roller setting it. To roller set it divide it into small sections, apply a good rich hair conditioner, and then roll up the sections using the rollers. Let it dry and then take out the rollers and gently fluff them up (but not too much) with your hands. You need to be gentle with your hair for it to grow. Stay away from perms and hair dye because these products work by weakening the protein structure of the hair. If you take good care of your hair and really pamper it, you should see about six inches of growth within a year.
