I want my natural hair to grow long. Are there any products I can use? Or do I have to keep braiding?
Growing long healthy hair can be a challenge. Especially for us curly-haired folks that have to combat the fragility of our hair texture as well its tendency to be quite dry. There is no magic formula for growing the hair. What it takes is a consistent (not overly laborious) hair care regiment using the right products(see previous article about best hair care routine)
Protective styling is also recommended as it is a great way to give the hair a break from the wear and tear of constant manipulation. With these types of styles, though, you must still pay attention to the hairline especially when using sewn-in extensions. Last but not least, keep the body healthy with proper exercise and diet. Healthy insides produce healthy skin, nails and hair!
