The question always arises of how can I grow African American Hair. Let's face it. The good ole' days for black hair care and the way we used to maintain our hair are over. Gone are the times when you used to walk into the room and everyone could tell you had just used a heavy hair oil or pomade in your scalp and hair. The familiar smells of products like SuperGro, Dax, Blue Magic, and Sulfur 8 were noted for their medicinal smell, and some had, believe it or not, a bacony smell, but they are a thing of the past and should be for good reason, although there are many of you who still use these products. For many years we as people of color were led to believe that since our hair is inherently dry, the next best thing to use to retain moisture in our hair is to load up the hair and scalp with oils and grease. The more we put on, the more our hair appeared shiny and stiff, but little did we know we were killing and suffocating our hair and scalp. We are all born with natural oil producing glands in our scalp. When we try to overcompensate by loading up our scalps with synthetic or false oils, this smothers our scalps from breathing; our pores will become clogged, and...more

The best regimen to grow African American hair involves a precious liquid easily obtainable from your faucet. There are many myths about water and black hair. First of all, we know our hair is inherently dry. Dry hair is often thirsty, but thirsty does not mean we should plaster and shellac our hair down with heavy oils. Our...more
There has been a universal question of how to make African American hair grow long, but somehow we have gotten side tracked and have preferred to go the instantaneous route for hair length (the weave or wig) for longer hair. The hair care industry for women of color is a billion dollar industry producing product after product in attempts to answer this question. There is a myth that we, as women of color, are destined to have short, brittle hair prone to breakage; it's destiny and we should accept things the way they are. Some of you believe that is your destiny due to a long love/hate affair with your hair, but I am here to tell you that is only a myth and that you can achieve your desired length without the use of artificial means such as wigs, weaves, or hair pieces. Look around you and see the evidence. Go to any bookstore and you will find black hairstyle magazines sporting women of color with long beautiful tresses that really aren't theirs. I cannot tell you how discouraging and frustrating it is to look at a black hairstyle magazine, and over 98% of the magazine is not about growing your own hair; it is mainly devoted to maintaining artificial hair such as...more
