Hair Growth Tips 101

The top two pics is when she was younger, as you can see her hair was shorter.


Here are some great SULFATE FREE products, two of which was recommended to me
that is really good for natural hair.
from left to right: Shea butter grow strong strengthening treatment, Shea butter leave in
conditioning repair cream, Shea Moisture coconut & hibiscus curl enhancing smoothie
and Shea Moisture  moisture retention shampoo.
CANT WAIT to try them in her hair.
Okay so the secret to Niah's hair growth or growth in general is tlc, a little bit of tender love and care goes along way. For most part of her life, Dhaniah's hair has been in braids, which is the key to her hair growth. I find it that when her hair is in braids there is less manipulation and stress on her hair i.e combing it, blowing drying it and etc. F.y.i ponytail holders, if placed too tight can cause added stress on your hair and cause breakage.This is why I alternate between braids and ponytails.  I usual keep her braids in for two week depending on how well she keeps it and  wash and grease her scalp with the braids in. It is very important to keep the scalp moisturize, her scalp tend to get dry often so I grease it frequently. The more moisture the less breakage you will have. Its normal for the hair to shed during combing (dead hair), but not excessively.

  1. Happy to hear about ur dtr hair journey. All 3 of y kids r natural even the boys and I plan to keep their hair growing. When u say greasing her scalp try to steer away from the grease tht we grew up with and use oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil etc etc and u will see more length retention. Happy growing!!
