    Congrats on going Natural!! :0)

    Actually, don't listen to people who say you hair can't grow faster because, it can with the proper care. Protective styles help a lot but the way you look after your tresses matters a lot. Scalp clean, right nutrition, right supplements (biotin and msm, mainly) work very well.I have tried that, and it works, and I am not the only one.

    Megatek works well also, but use sparingly!!!

    For support, I will strongly advise you to join the following networks: Keep It Simple Sista and Hairlista. You will see black women that have managed to grow their hair to waist length, and no, these are not extensions!! lol. The creator of the Keep It Simple Sista actually has waist length hair and has some videos on YouTube you can look at. You can post questions on hair care regimen, products to help growth, etc...

    You will not regret joining these two networks!!

    P.S: No, I am not compensated by these networks for promoting them.

    so try this...regular trims are a must, about every 7-9 weeks.(if your hair is really healthy then up the trims to about every 12 weeks, a trim is just a snip off the ends) if its been awhile since you have had a trim then inches may be called for to get to healthy hair. i use vitamin e on fresh washed hair.(its a vitamin that can be purchased where you buy vitamins, cut open capsule, squeeze into hand, rub hands together and apply to hair) dont message into scalp. if you get too much then just rewash it. hair will feel slightly sticky until dry then it will be nice and soft. it tames the frizzies, deep conditions and makes hair grow about three in a month. it takes about a month for the growth part of the e to kick in. the other benefits are instant. dont brush your hair but maybe three or four times a week to message the scalp,dry hair, never wet, i use a wide tooth comb at other times. brushing breaks off hair. biotin is cheap and also promotes hair regrowth and growth. i also have the biotin shampoo that i got from a vitamin store online.(puritans pride.com or vitadigest.com) five bucks for a big bottle and a big bottle of E is about 8 bucks. the biotin is about 3 bucks. i now take my fingers and message my scalp about five times a week, along with the brushing thats a good way to do it without damaging your hair. apply two or three capsules of e to dry hair and message into scalp and hair really well, put damp towel in microwave for 1 min to get hot, then quickly wrap head, a dry towel can be placed over that to help hold in the heat, leave on for 15 min, shampoo well, makes an excellent hot oil treatment. good luck, AND some people will argue about regular trims, your hair does grow from the roots, yes, but if your hair is not trimmed at the bottom, the it splits, get dry and brittle not to mention thin looking from no trims at all and frizzy. then your hair starts to break off at the bottom and giving you the appearance that it never grows. so to make hair grow as fast as possible and keep it healthy, then trims are an essential part of hair care. look on a ruler and check out less then half an inch and if your salon does not know what that is then take a ruler with you, i have. i added beta carotene vitamins to my regimen. i found out that along with the biotin it is very very good in promoting hair growth. they were five bucks for a bottle of 100. got them at walmart. the biotin and e can also be purchased at walmart, and adding all this up is pretty cheap to get great hair. the shampoo is now available in the new food lion stores.

    The better you take care of your hair, the faster it will grow. I promise

    Try useing Olive Oil in it, it's incredibly Healthy for Hair and Skin.

    I use Olive Oil Hair Lotion in mine.

    Make sure you use good, salon shampoos. Any kind you get from Target, Walmart, ect, is BAD for your hair.

    Sun will make it lighter in color.

    Don't use harmful products in it like Hairspray, Moose, ect.

    Never sleep with pony tails in, bobby pins, clips, ect.

    You should be good (:

    well i always used to ask that question until i spent a week and a hairdressers.. well the hairdresser told me nothing can make your hair grow faster, and your hair may go quicker in some places but it normally should grow one inch a month. so if you hear any one telling you to do something dont listen to them because nothing can make your hair grow faster.. hope i helped!
