Natural Hair Care Tips and Hair Styles to Grow Long Natural Hair
Avoid Environment Damage
It is important to protect the hair from sun damage and pollution, and this can be done by covering your hair with a hat or scarf while you are outdoors.
Avoid stress
“It’s tearing your hair out.” – The rumor that one’s hair falls out from stress is true, so stay casual and cool and try to avoid stress!
Keep Your Hair & Scalp Clean
A healthy, clean environment is needed for hair to flourish. Buildup on the scalp can virtually stunt growth simply because of dirty, clogged pores/follicles. Washing routines and frequency will differ from person to person based on different factors like how much product you use, how much you sweat, etc. Here’s how I get it done.
Detangle
Detangle hair regularly using a wide-toothed comb. Knots and tangles interfere with the hair’s ability to grow longer and thicker.
Don’t wash your hair every day
I know it sounds disgusting, but washing your hair too often pulls the strands, damages the scalp, and rids your hair of the natural oils essential for growing long, thick hair. You must allow the hair oils to condition your hair rather than constantly washing the oils out.
Rinse hair with cool
Your final rinse should be with cool water to close the hair cuticles. This is also a good time to do an ACV Rinse. ACV rinses help to remove some types of build-up from the hair while also closing the hair cuticles. Try to think of your hair as being made up of rows of shingles, like you’d see on a roof. These hair shingles, or cuticles, can be in an “open” position, which makes the hair strand feel rough to the touch and look dull. Being that hair has a naturally low (slightly acidic) pH, things like vinegar rinses can help close the hair cuticle and lock in moisture.

Moisturize
Due to the makeup of naturally curly or kinky hair, it’s naturally prone to dryness. What often happens is that our hair breaks just as fast as it grows and therefore appears to be stuck at one length. Hair that is properly moisturized is less likely to break or split at the ends which means you’ll retain what you grow. To seal in the moisture, I apply a leave-in conditioner to my freshly washed (and still slightly damp) hair, then a butter or an oil paying special attention to the ends-the oldest part of the hair
