After several years with locs, I've had my fro back for 2 years now. I've established a simple routine without relying on too many products. In this video, I share 6 key tips that helped me maximize my kinky hair growth.
1 - Hydration, Hydration, Hydration....
Your hair should not remain dry for too long, at the risk of brittle hair, split ends, and knots.
- Use products that address your specific hair concerns or fill your spray bottle with water along with a moisturizing agent to absorb and retain water in the hair, and one or more vegetable oil(s).
- Hair hydrates from the inside, drink water "1.5 L per day and eat a balanced diet!
2 - Trim damaged ends
To achieve length, focus on the health of your hair!
- Don't hesitate to cut split ends and tiny knots!
- This action will not improve hair growth, but your hair will be healthier and have a better chance of reaching a good length.
- You don't have to cut every 2/3 months; only cut when your ends are damaged!
3 - A regular routine!
The secret is consistency!
Adapt your routine to your lifestyle and specific hair concerns!
A deep treatment once a week or every 2 weeks, it's up to you!
If your hair is very damaged, you should opt for 1 treatment per week, for example!
- An oil bath
- Shampoo
- Apply Conditioner
- After towel-drying, apply a Leave-in Treatment
- Seal with a bit of vegetable oil.
If your hair is healthy, an oil bath is not necessary every time.
4 - Detangling!
Never detangle your hair dry! Wet them!
Brush your hair gently at the risk of massive breakage!
If they are very fragile, prefer finger detangling!
5 - A nighttime routine!
Never sleep with your hair down! Style them!
Use a bonnet or a satin pillowcase to prevent your hair from dehydrating, as well as from tangling and breaking!
6 - PATIENCE!
There are no miracle methods for growing hair, believe me, we'd know! Coily hair grows regardless of your origin!
Give attention to your hair and the rest will follow!
