How to grow African American hair long?

I regret to the fullest relaxing my daughters hair at the age of 6. I want to start her back natural, but too scared to cut off her hair and start over. What can I do to reverse this. I want her natural again. If this may be too traumatic, how can I take care of her relaxed hair and make it grow longer?How to grow African American hair long?

HOPE I HELPEDHow to grow African American hair long?
There is a line of products called Carol's Daughter - Mary J. Blige uses it and Jada Pinkett-Smith uses it on her children, I tried it on my daugther's curly, hard-to-grow hair and it worked wonders. Go to www.carolsdaughter.com and you will find the most wonderful all-natural products ever - no I don't sell it, I use some of it (sparingly, as my daugther's hair and my hair are a little finer than African-American hair) and I use it on my African-American neighbor's hair too - it works to reduce breakage, stimulate the scalp and moisturize damaged hair. Over-relaxing and too much braiding cause breakage of new hair growth, so watch this, and no flat irons either! If you put it up, don't bind it too tightly, especially around the face, use bands that have no metal on them and get them pillowcases that are made of sateen, this keeps the hair smooth and reduces breakage while sleeping. Don't overwash the hair either. Get regular trims, just a little bit once a month or so, believe it or not it helps the hair grow out! Hope this helps - go to the site and check it out - they have recommendations just for your personal needs, and I love the hair milk and balm - they are wonderful, smell great and really do work. Good luck!!!
is your daughter mixed... just wondering.


well, im mixed and i have african american hair for the most part. i got a relaxer when i was six and my mommy cut an inch off like every month until it was all natural again... it the only way to make it completely healthy. also don't make the mistake of letting her relax it again when she gets older...
If you want her to be natural stop relaxing her hair. You don't have to but the relaxed ends of yet. But you can maintain it by braiding it and keeping her hair moist, get a daily moistriser and every time you wash her hair deep condition it.
1 Braid the hair regularly.


#2 when taking out the braids just wash the hair dnt relax it..........


#3 before rebrading the hair perm it


Then it will grow naturally and long.

the key to growing afro-texture hair is retaining length. so low manipulation like braids and twists should be good.
use wild grwoth oil it AUMMAZZINNGGGG
try hair oil; it really works! put it on at nite before bed and wake up and shampoo it off. usually coconut hair oil works the best but try others to suit ur hair
i started braided my hair and mines now grow like a weed, and i had a perm
I cut off all my relaxed hair almost a year ago - all at once. There isn't anything you can do to reverse a relaxer because it is permanent, so you'll have to cut off all the relaxed hair eventually. It doesn't have to be all at once, but you can do it little-by-little. On average, hair grows 1/2 inch per month and many people will trim their relaxed hair about 1/3 - 1/2 inch per month as their natural hair grows in. They won't gain any length during that time, but if they're taking care of their hair then they won't lose any length, either. Just be careful not to manipulate her hair too much because it'll be very fragile with both textures and the relaxed hair can easily break off. Put her hair in braids or cornrows to protective style. Just make sure they're not too tight, or that can cause damage.





Or, you can cut it all off and have braids installed until it grows out. Its your choice what you do. I guess you're in the best position to decide if she'll be traumatized by it. I've heard of people who's little girls become depressed from going from nearly waist-length to shoulder length because of bad relaxers. Then, I've seen a little girl who looked 6 years old with a teeny weeny afro, like her mother cut out the relaxer, and she obviously had a lot of confidence and it didn't seem like the very short hair effected her, because she thought of herself as a princess, lol. But, obviously that confidence was instilled in her, because I see many little girls who are taught that their hair makes them who they are. Hair is something that will grow back no matter what you do to it, which is why I cut off all my relaxed hair.





Anyway, you'll just have to be patience as her hair grows out and stop relaxing. Many people transition from relaxed to natural for a year or two, and some do it for a couple of months, so it's up to you on how long you want to hang onto the relaxed hair.
