📌STOP SAYING MY HAIR HAS STOPPED GROWING OR IT'S NO LONGER GROWING
🌸Your hair grows at roughly ½ inch per month which means that the typical head of hair will grow six inches per year.
🌸The reason you think your hair is not growing is because your hair keeps breaking due to dryness.
🌸4C Afro hair is made of tight coils which makes it more prone to dryness and shrinkage. This is a huge factor because how well you retain moisture into your 4C coils will determine how much length you can achieve.
🌸How can you care and grow 4C hair?
When you are on a journey to grow your 4C hair to maximum length, the key isn't just to grow your hair but to also retain that length you have achieved.
If you don't do a good job of retaining your length by keeping it healthy and following a haircare routine, your hair will likely break off and you would lose all the hard work you put in. Because we don't want that happening, I will be sharing tips you can use to care and grow your hair while also retaining your length.
1. Shampoo often
To get your hair to grow and thrive, you will need to shampoo every 2-4 weeks. This keeps your scalp and hair clean, takes away any product buildup, and allows moisture back into the hair.
When washing your hair, go for a sulfate-free shampoo that wouldn't dry out your hair or alternate with a co-wash routine sometimes. This will prevent a tangled mass of hair and eventual hair breakage.
2. Use leave in conditioners:
Moisturize your hair 2-3 times a week and seal with hair butter to keep your hydrated and prevent it from breaking off
3. Trimming your hair
You might think trimming your hair would mean getting rid of the precious length you have achieved. But there are actually great benefits to trimming your hair often.
By trimming off your split ends, you prevent breakage to your strands and allow space for healthy hair to grow out.
4. Finger detangling your hair
4C hair tends to clump together into tight coils which causes it to tangle often. These tangles can lead to breakage and discourage optimal hair growth.
The best way to prevent this is by finger detangling your hair often. Finger detangling might take longer to do than using a comb but it works best for when you run into knots or strands that are about to snap off. With this method, you would experience less breakage and damage to your hair.
Also, when finger detangling, use a product that has enough slip, it will save time and make it easier for knots and tangles to unravel by itself.
5. Protective styling with breaks
It is easy to leave your hair in a protective style like braids or twists for months and assume it is growing and thriving. When your hair is in a protective style for months, it isn't getting moisturized often and this would lead to it breaking off.
6. Try scalp massages
Scalp massages might help with hair growth and length retention. It is believed that blood flow helps to grow hair. And when you massage your scalp it circulates blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles to promote hair growth. You can try massaging your scalp every night for about five minutes with a scalp brush.
7. Deep condition your hair
Your 4C hair will thrive with regular deep conditioning treatments. Deep conditioning provides your hair with moisture, nourishes, and keeps your hair looking healthy and shiny.
A well-moisturized hair wouldn't tangle or break off, that way you get to grow your hair and still retain length. You can try a deep conditioning treatment every 2 weeks or once a month.
