Im not sure how fast hair can grow..but i would recommend using a hair strengthening shampoo and conditioner. biolage is really good if your looking for quality. Also I've also heard that wearing hair up can damage it, but a low ponytail will probably be fine. Plus it looks cute so you can try wearing your hair like that until it grows longer.

to help your hair grow faster you should cut about half an inch off your dead ends everyother month. And in some cases coloring your hair can make it look healthier if you do it right. Also putting your hair up doesn't damages your hair if you put it up loosely and not pull too tight.

Make sure you still get frequent trims because dead, dry ends will split and break. Use good quality products for African-American hair, like the KMS Curl-Up line. If you must wear your hair up, use different tools every day. One day use a covered elastic, the next day use a butterfly clip, then try a French Twist pin. If you secure it in the same place or the same way every day, you'll be damaging your hair. Normally, hair grows about half an inch a month, so you're doing half an inch of damage to the mid-shaft of your hair if you put a ponytail in the same place every day.

As for colour, try a semi-or demi-permanent colour that only coats the hair shaft and gives shimmering overtones. Don't use a permanent colour that will REALLY dry and damage your hair, and definitely do NOT bleach! Keep conditioning and putting a shine treatment or spray in every day.

If you use a hot comb or a straightening iron you're also really damaging your hair. If you don't mind slight waves but want to temporarily relax any curl, try very-large rollers under a bonnet dryer. Good luck!

deep conditioning and avoid anything that makes your hair dryer like using hot curling iron and blow drying. find a good shampoo and conditioner for your specific hair type.

I have hair that is all the way down my back. I have similar problems. Cutting the ends helps keep the split ends in check but it doesn't make your hair grow any faster. If you want it to grow faster and stay healthy, take multivitamins and eat healthy.

Coloring your hair isn't going to do a huge amount of damage to it. Just don't overdo it. You don't need to color your entire head every month. Just do the all over color once and then touch up the roots as they grow out.

I also have the problem with the ends drying out and breaking off. What I do the help prevent this is to start brushing my hair from the ends up a little at a time. I do this once a day and finger comb it the rest of the time. Also, a spray-on leave-in conditioner helps as well. Aqualage works wonders for me.

As far putting your hair up, a ponytail isn't going to hurt. Anything more elaborate will. I reserve putting my hair up for special occasions and events. On a daily basis though, I just pull it back from my face with a barrette or I braid it.

I have tired this Horse Shampoo and Conditioner. I think it is called Mane something. It made my hair grow very fast. I bought mine at Rite Aid. It's in a white bottle with a shadow of a horse on it. Read the directions on it for African American hair. I hope this helps.

Wearing hair up *tight* can damage it. Wearing it up tight all the time day after day can pull it out by the roots.

I have not yet heard of wearing it up less-than-tight being harmful. Many people with much longer hair wear it up every day and loosen it each evening. Others do it the other way around, down in the day and braided up at night. Both groups have found their not-tight-all-the-time methods to be safe-enough for their hair.

Trimming split hair doesn't make it grow faster. It keeps it from splitting more quickly. Trimming hair that isn't split doesn't make it grow faster. It just makes it shorter. That's basic knowledge among folk with hair %26gt;36" or %26gt;1m. in length.

Hair growth rates vary with season and from person to person and with individual health and nutrition. Hair usually grows more in the summer, or so I've heard over and over again. Summer isn't here yet.

Life and haircare are much simpler when the color hair grows is accepted with grace.
