OOOooh you should check out the Organic Root Stimulator products. That's what helped my hair to grow, it should work on yours since we basically have the same type of hair. Organic Root Stimulator products have this Hair Mayonaise and Shampoo.....a whole lot of different products to put on your hair......even their own relaxers. Also what I'm using now is the Mizani products. Their relaxers are really good for your hair.....straightens it up real good. They have this leave in condition called Rose H20.......it's really good to put on your hair daily and it smells good. Mizani has other products too. Their are so many out there. Also try using some daily leave in conditioner....so many to tell you. If you want more advice go to a beauty supply store and ask the people there about more tips....they should know. Also if you want your hair to be long.......try getting some braids.......that can help your hair grow........that's what I'm currently rockin' right now. Ofcourse most definately you should get some tracks put in your hair. Because your real hair is braided down under the tracks......it would grow tremendously because it's under there and your not fooling with it as much if you had braids. There are so many options out there, but if you can't find any products that work for you.......you should either get some braids or some tracks. That way you don't have to worry about doing your hair and at the same time it's growing.

Hope I can be of some help,

Let me know your decision.

Straight Request products work really well on ethnic hair. Lite Drops is a VERY light oil that you can use that will not weigh your hair down. You can only purchase this in salons, but it is WELL worth it. Good Luck!!!

Usually getting your hair permed and wrapped will cause it to move without it being too oily. When the hair is properly permed and wrapped, the hair will move as fluently as weaved hair. You can do this yourself, however, unless you're experienced, I would strongly suggest a beautician.

Good Luck!!

taking vitamins, eating well, and drinking water will help your hair grow, but you also have to keep it moisturized.

you could get a relaxer...it will help with the kinkiness of your hair, but if you do get a relaxer you really have to take care of it or it will break off quickly! don't do it yourself though, go to a salon!

if your wearing it natural and you don't want a relaxer, then wash it, and straighten it with a flat iron--just make sure it's not too hot or your hair will burn out!

i use ubh products, and their not oily at all, but they moisturize really well. www.ubhpublications.com

Did you know that your hair like oil, but it loves mositurizers? You use moisturizers and then seal with oil. If you are into growing healthy and long hair then this is the site for you Blackhairmedia.com. Search and you may find your answers before you post a question.

Hi,

I understand how you feel. My hair is fine and wavy and I am currently regrowing my hair back out longer. The first thing you need to focus on is getting your hair healthy first, thats when your hair will start to grow longer.

There are a bunch of miracle growth products out there but I find that when you routinely get your hair washed/conditioned, set, with your ends getting cut monthly your hair will grow.

I suggest you invest in products from the Keracare line. You can find them in your local beauty store or at the hair salon. This is what I used when I am inbetween hair appointments and my hair is doing great. Your hair needs oil because our hair is naturally dry. I suggest Tea Tree Oil becaue it keeps the scalp moisturized as well as the hair itself.

This routine works well for me. If you really serious about haircare, I suggest you go see a professional hairdresser and she can analyze and recommend a hairplan to improve your hair situation. Dont just rely on products you can find at Walmart or Target. You might just need a good trim and a deep conditioner.

Good Luck..

This is one of the best sites I can recommend: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/...

"Long Hair Care Forums is the ultimate Internet resource for women of color that want to grow healthy beautiful long hair."

Try not to blow-dry and flat-iron your hair too often. If you have to, try doin' one..like let your hair air-dry and then flat-iron it. Less heat is better!

Careful with the products you add to your hair. That's just causing build-up. Which reminds me...you should get a clarifying conditioner or any product that removes build-up. A homemade remedy is just the use of apple-cidar vinegar.

You need to keep your hair moisturized. So you need a moisturizer particularly water-based (look for a hair product with water/aqua as the first ingredient--such as ORS Olive Oil). Coconut milk, olive oil and honey are supposed to leave your hair shiny and smooth. However, not everything works for everyone. Baby your ends! Snip away the damaged ends. Trust me...my hair was almost waist-length but I hated how my ends were looking. It looked all crispy and fried...lol. It doesn't make sense leaving them...what you can do to save some length...is continued dusting--just trimming very slight amounts.

After moisturizing your hair, you should top it off with oil. I have Silk Elements Revive and Restore All-In-One root penetrating oil. Jojoba oil is supposed to be great too. The oil acts as a sealant...to keep the moisture in. Wild Growth Oil works well too.

After you wash your hair, you should add a leave-in and then moisturizer and oil or an oil moisturizer. Try not to brush your hair too much when its wet. Its most fragile at this time.

Many people like Keracare products...particularly their shampoo and conditioner. I am currently using a Creme of Nature shampoo. They don't contain Sodium Laureth Sulphate which is apparently a bit harsh for your hair.

Hair Mayonnaise is also a great product. Its good for when your hair is in need of protein. I don't recommend you use this product on a daily basis.

Kinikakes (one of the girl's from that site I recommended) says this: "Use what's in your kitchen. Add eggs or mayonaise (protein) honey, soft, ripe avocado, coconut, or olive oil (softness/silkiness/moisture), crushed garlic (prevents breakage), or cayenne pepper (stimulates growth) to your conditioning treatments for awesome, at-home special treatment!"

Drink lots of water too and watch what you eat. Milk, protein shakes and vitamins are advised. Biotin is excellent for hair growth. It should also be taken with B-Complex or some multi-vitamin. However, not everyone can stand to use Biotin for different reasons.

If you relax your hair, try and space out your relaxers...and use the mildest one.

You need to do protective styles...such as bunning. That way you hair won't be exposed to those harsh elements of weather (wind) and it won't rub against your clothes.

Scalp stimulation is also recommended. Massage your scalp frequently. When you're brushing your hair...try to bend over and brush from the back to the tip.

Good luck with the growing process and I wish you healthy hair!
