Hello Beautiful, I get asked this question a lot. The question is “How do i speed up the growth of my kinky hair?” I have a few tips that may help your hair to get longer faster.
- PrePoo – it shocks me even today that most people do not prepoo their kinky curly hair. Most shampoos can be drying to fragile hair strands. Some contain ingredients to harsh for our delicate hair which could lead to chronic dryness. If this is you, then I highly suggest that you Prepoo. Prepoo is the act of applying conditioner to coat all your hair strands before shampooing. This will act as a barrier from the shampoo protecting it from direct prolonged contact with your hair. The shampoo will not have the easiest time getting under the cuticle layer of your hair. I recommend none other than Cbabes’ Kinky Girls Co-Wash Me Clean Conditioner.
- Now its time to Shampoo. I highly recommend you shampoo your hair with Cbabes Shampoo Bar no more than twice per month it is sulfate free. Most shampoos on the market are brutal due to their harsh ingredients which is no good for any kind of hair .
- Conditioner time!! This is the most important step in my opinion. As much as you try to prevent it, washing your hair will still wash away some of its natural oils. The best way to get your kinky hair back in shape is using a conditioner. It helps restore oils and moisture to your hair as well as nourish it. Afterwards, your hair should feel softer and be more manageable. For kinkier hair, or low porosity hair, I recommend you sit under a dryer for approx. 30 minutes.
- While your hair already has its own natural oils, its important to use other oils to promote growth and protect the hair. These oils are especially good at encouraging all hair to grow faster. When applying hair oil, do it nightly and make sure to massage 3-5 minutes deeply to ensure that it gets deep inside the hair follicles as well as on the surface of the hair. Miss Aneelas Hair Growth Oil is recommended if you desire longer healthier hair.
- Trims, this is a subject that may be taboo to some. Every three to four months you should trim your hair. This gets rid of any split ends allowing your hair to continue growing properly . Using search and destroy method when trimming your hair is the best way to maintain length.
- Please wear protective styles to keep your ends in great condition . Protective hairstyles such as bantu knots, buns, weaves, wigs and not-so-tight braids. Stay away from heat, rough handling etc…Letting hair fall freely exposes the ends to damage. At night wrap the hair in a silk or satin scarf or sleep on a satin pillow. Just making these changes will help your hair grow faster.
- Lastly, vitamins such as biotin will nourish your hair from the inside and have been known to make your hair grow faster.
