HOW I MAKE MY FRO GROW FAST

HOW I MAKE MY FRO  GROW FAST

Hair grows at a rate of 1/4 to 1/2-inch per month. This is true even for Afro hair, which often seems to grow at a much slower rate. It is not the rate of growth, however,

but the texture of Afro hair that makes growth difficult. Afro hair is often composed of tightly wound coils that prevent natural oils from getting to the ends of the strand. As a result, Afro hair is dryer and more brittle than straighter hair, resulting in breakage. With proper care and a few lifestyle changes, it is possible to prevent breakage and improve Afro hair growth.

Shrinkage after wash

Step 1

Buy in a salon-quality moisturizing shampoo. Wash your hair at least once a week and do not lather more than twice. Only lather once if you wash your hair more often, but avoid washing your hair every day.

Step 2

Wash your hair with a conditioner if your hair is very dry. Washing with a conditioner, or "no-pooing," is similar to washing with shampoo, but less likely to strip oils from your hair. "No-poo" your hair at least once a week.

Step 3

Apply a conditioner after each wash. Do so even if you use the "no-poo" method, but just use a thicker moisturizing conditioner. Use a wide-tooth comb or a Denman brush to work the conditioner to the ends of your hair. Leave the conditioner in for at least three minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticles.

Step 4

Condition with a deep conditioner every two weeks. Lather once with a light shampoo, such as baby shampoo, to remove any residue and to allow the conditioner to penetrate better. Apply the conditioner, put on a plastic cap and sit under a hair dryer for 30 minutes. Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle.

Step 5

Squeeze or pat the hair dry. Avoid rubbing, which can damage the cuticle and break the hair strands. Wrap your head with a super-absorbent towel and gently pat dry.

Step 6

Comb your hair while damp. Use a wide-toothed comb, or a Denman brush, and apply a detangler beforehand. Start at the end and work your way toward the roots.

Step 7

Use heat styling as little as possible. Heat can damage and weaken the hair. Opt for air-drying styles such as twists or roller sets. Alternately, choose permanent styles, such as box braids or weaves, which protect the hair while it is growing out.

Step 8

Replace moisture with natural oils, such as jojoba, coconut or shea butter. Avoid heavy oils, such as mineral oil, which clog the pores and prevent hair growth.

Step 9

Eat healthily and drink plenty of water. A diet rich in vitamins, minerals and protein feeds the hair from the inside out. Properly hydrating keeps the hair and skin moist.

Step 10

Wrap your hair with a silk or satin scarf, while sleeping. Alternately, use a silk or satin pillowcase.

Step 11

Trim your hair every 2 to 3 months. Trimming keeps your hairstyle neat and removes damaged ends.
