How to Grow Hair Faster and Longer

Growing the African hair has been a problem for many ladies who are often face with the problem of broken hairs making it impossible to grow long hairs. Growing your hair can be fun if you know your hair type and set good goals( We shall through more light on hair type for the benefit of those who don't truly know their hair type). African hair is often fragile from lack of moisture or nutrients, or from overexposure to chemicals. Nourish your hair with oils, and other treatments to keep your hair strong enough to grow long without breaking.
The following steps shows how to maintain and grow your desired hair.

1.    Washing of hair. Washing hair too often strips it of natural oils. Try washing it once in two weeks and observe if it still  break much.

• Try to find a shampoo that doesn't leave your hair feeling too dry.
• To reduce damage, wash hair in lukewarm water and rinse in cool water.

2.     Let hair dry on its own. Many, after washing their hair apply the service of a hand dryer to dry their hair. What they don't know is that the heat from blow drying can cause damage, leading your hair to break before it grows to the desired length. Instead, plait your hair, wrap it in a silk scarf, and let dry overnight. Alternatively, towel dry your hair by wrapping it in a towel and simply rubbing your head for a while.

3.    Use conditioner each time you wash. Shampoo strips your hair of natural oils. Restore these with conditioner suited for your hair type. Periodically deep condition your hair as well.

• You can use leave-in conditioner in between washes.

4.    Apply hair oil daily. Rub natural oil into the middle and ends of your hair to make it soft and supple. This will help prevent it breaking before it grows too long. Jamaican oil, castor oil, Moroccan oil, or lavender oil are all good options.

• Covering your hair with a satin scarf can help your hair take in the oil.

5.    Moisturize your hair. Water strengthens dry hair and may stimulate your hair roots. You can apply water, moisturizing conditioner, or a mixture of half olive oil or half coconut oil. For extra moisture, apply each one, in that order. The oil will help seal in the moisture.

• If you use gel or mousse in your hairstyle, try hair jam instead. This will hold your hair, then eventually melt into oils to add shine and moisture.

6.    Consider protein conditioner. These can strengthen some types of hair, but may damage dry hair. Try brushing your hair: if your strands stretch significantly before breaking, you may need more protein.

• Protein conditioner should not be left longer than instructed time on the label, or it may turn hard and brittle.

7.    Grease your scalp . About every other day or when your scalp feels dry, apply coconut grease to the tip of your pointer finger. Apply at the top of your part and sweep back until all the grease has been applied.

• Stop if you notice dandruff, as oil can feed the fungus that causes it.
• If you have a perm, grease only once a week, or apply hot oil instead.

8.    Remove products with neutralizing shampoo. Once a month, use a neutralizing shampoo to clean all products out of your hair. If you use a lot of sprays, gels, and other styling products, use it every other week. 

9.    Proteinous  diet. Diet mainly of protein has proofing to be a great enhancer to hair growth. Eating proteinous food like beans, fish etc help in strengthening the hair. List i forget, drink 4 to 5 litre of water daily to help rejuvenate the hair.
