How do you make african american hair grow and how do you care for it?

Question by Raquel H: How do you make african american hair grow and how do you care for it?
I am a fifteen year old african american and I use to have this really pretty long hair. Then I began to wear hair weaves and my hair began to get shorter and unhealthy. If I continue to wear hair weaves but get a sew in instead of glue will that help me get my hair back? Also what is good hair care products for woman of color?

Hi, I’m african american as well and I also find it hard to grow out my hair. Now that I started wearing sew ins I have found that my hair has started to grow and has become a lot healthier. I also take a multi vitamin everyday as well as a Biotin supplement. I use a wide variety of products in my hair depending on how my hair is styled at the time…Since you want to regain your hair health I recommend that you start using products made by African Pride such as Hair Fertilizer, Hair Mayonnaise, etc. Their products are really great and have helped my hair tremendously! I hope this helps:)

What is a really good hair care product for African American, color treated hair?

Question by Ivonna T: What is a really good hair care product for African American, color treated hair?
I am in the market for a new hair care product. I stopped using Pantene Pro V and Olive Oil Root Stimulator because I started color treating my hair and didn’t feel they were the best products to use with my hair type. I recently starting using Motions Marula Formula and am not impressed. I just want something to promote hair growth, shine, and health.

Well, you could try using natural based products and see how they perform on your hair. Mineral Indulgence has natural products for relaxed hair and they helped with my daughter’s relaxed hair. I purchase the Relaxed Hair Regimen as it’s cheaper than buying the products individually. Plus you get a free scalp butter for hair growth if you get the regimen.

Maximize Your Skin Care Results With African American Skin Care Products

There are some different skin types and they require several African American Skin Care Products. It is important to know what kinds of products are out there today and how are they used.
