Black hair care?

last year around this time i choose to stop putting chemicals in my hair( like perms) and go natural. well i couldnt stand watching my permed hair fall out while i was going natural so i been getting micro braids for a year. everytime i take them out i let my hair breathe for about two weeks and then get them put back in. my hair is out of briads right now its. its pretty healthy but its just as short as it was when i had a perm in my hair( but 100% natural). i thought it would be longer by now. im dissappointed. i want long hair. i been pressing and hot combing it for a week but i just want some tips to achieve longer hair because the short look isnt working for me

You need 2 go to the salon and get the proper treatment for your hair such as hot oil treatments, your ends trimmed as needed %26amp; washing/a deep conditioner will definitly help. Putting heat on you hair will damage it pretty bad and will need to be cut if you continue to do it.

i like my hair short because it is easier to take care of enough about me. have you trimmed your hair lately because that helps new growth how long has your hair been maybe that is as long as your hair well grow for me is shoulder length i think hair has a limit. but let hair breath from hot comb because that can be damaging too.

It's only been a year, give it a minute. Different people grow hair at different speeds. My relaxer fell all at once (after microbraids) a year and a half ago, and it's only just now down to my collar bones. My sister did the big chop over a year ago, and it still isn't long. Relax, everyone's hair takes time to grow.

having those tight braids maybe breaking your hair off

Black hair care?

sometimes braids can break your hair out. i did the same thing and i found that not putting braids in my hair helped it grow a little faster. if you have any relaxer in your hair, i would cut that off. going natural does take time and required dedication. i would wash it and do a deep conditioner at least once a week. good luck with this and hopefully you get the hair you want. i can relate because like i said i am in the same situation. have a good one....

Several years ago, I transitioned from relaxed hair to natural hair by wearing braids, twists and occasionally I would blow-dry my hair wear a pony-tail. The key to growing your hair is to treat it with a lot of care. Our hair is fragile anyway but when you have two different textures on 1 strand (relaxed with natural roots) it is even more fragile.

Deep condition twice a month, keep your ends trimmed, use minimal heat and don't wear tight braids or micro braids. My individual braids were never micros. I also ate a balanced diet and to biotin.

You can't use the same products on your natural hair that you used on your permed hair so, you have to educate yourself on what products to look for and what ingredients to stay away from.

There's a lot of good info on growing out relaxers here:

There's even a forum for people transitioning out of relaxers.
