How do ya grow natural hair long quick? It's grown a lot since I went natural, but I want it lo

I've been natural now for 5.5 months and I have very curly, kinda kinky hair. Please help! I'm in college, so if you know of cheap products that are readily accessible and work really well, I would really appreciate your help! Thanks! GOD Bless!

How do ya grow natural hair long quick? It's grown a lot since I went natural, but I want it longer!?

Currently i have long hair and have been learning alot so...

i do not have a relaxer i stopped getting them 5 years ago ( and i've only have 3 relaxers in my life time so this is all natural) so i can show you how to take care of hair without a relaxer. These are the some of the basics to growing long hair.

1. The shampoo, unfortunately many black women are using shampoos with alcohol and petroleum jelly. step away from them. Use Aveda's shampoo.. specifically the name is Brilliant...go to the website. I use it, i love it, it mouisterizes my hair and the products are natural. i have also heard that KeraCare is good.

2. Okay, step two condition it and then it is time to comb it out, Do not use a brush on you hair when it is wet,,it will hate you for it then break off in revenge. Put your your sections use a big tooth comb, to untangle it.

3. Do a hot oil treatment atleast once a month with extra virgin olive oil...repeat..EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil..not the regular stuff. ( I have also heard about protein treatments which can be very beneficial) unfortunately i have yet to take this step however my hair is doing great.

4. Okay on the daily basis you need to pay close attention to your hair...i recommend conditioning your scalp(3-4 times a week) and your ends(everyday) so that they will not get dry and unhealthy Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction ( in other words do not use grease) it does so much harm to your hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural oils grapeseed oil ( use it for hair it deflects heat so it is good for flat iron users like us)

jojoba oil(i use this for my scalp), extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, emu oil, coconut oil...all these natural oils and more love you..i promise.I also use Aveda's Brilliant ( the name of the brand) emollient for my ends.

5. Next..if you want your hair straight but still be natural it is time to get a freakin good flat iron.,i have the Chi..it does the job but I recommend getting the Sedu because of the good reviews. make sure to protect your hair..i have so thermal protector from Aveda. When flat ironing your hair do not let the iron stay on your hair for too long, just 1-2 quick swipes.

6. If you have a relaxer ( i have heard that Mizani and Affirm are the best relaxers) don't continue to relaxer all your hair everytime you go to the salon..just the new growth and try to stretch relaxers as long as possible.

7. You do not need to trim your hair everytime you go to the salon maybe every 3 to 6 months.

8. Wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf to prevent damage before you go to bed.

9. Eat healthy, drink lots of water,

10 take multivitamins, and fish oil pills you can get from GNC.

Follow these steps and life will be good..the best part about flat iron (which i do once a week or every two weeks not everday since it will kill your hair) is that it is not stringy but thick and healthy, yet straight and light enough to blow in the wind.

Trimming your hair has no effect on it growing quicker. Trimming the ENDS of your hair wont effect the ROOTS which is where the hair grows from. I wont explain how to take care of it, as there is already a very informative post, but thats all you can do. Although, I believe there is a vitamin called 'Skin Hair and Nails' which is meant to be good for hair growth. But anyway, trimming keeps hair in good condition, but does not affect hair growth.

How can I let my natural hair color to grow out if ive been dying my hair every other month for the

Ive been dying it every time i see enough roots growing in often when I see about 1/4 of an inch or 1/0 inch of my hair growing in. Even though i dye it often i keep it healthy by deep conditioning it almost every time i wash it and only blow-dry it once or twice a month. are there other alternatives of getting my natural hair color back or do I just have to wait until all of it grows out? Your help will be deeply appreciated. ;)

dye it back to as close to your natural color as you can so as it grows in, the roots won't be so bad.

How can I let my natural hair color to grow out if ive been dying my hair every other month for the past 4 yrs

stop dying it

Try using a semi permanent that will eventually wash out. It will mask it for a while, but wash out...

How can I let my natural hair color to grow out if ive been dying my hair every other month for the past 4 yrs

JUST LET IT GROW OUT, USE SOME HI LITES TO BLEND IN WHILE GROWING OUT, USE A WASH OUT COLOR SHADE TO BLEND WHILE YOUR WAITING FOR IT TO GO OUT, IF YOU WANT TO TRIM, JUST KEEP TRIMING UNTIL ALL OF THE OLD SHADE IS OFF.

You should dye it your natural color so youll never have to dye it again.

Sorry, but you'll have to let it grow out. I did the same thing for 5 years, except I dyed it every color of the rainbow. You could have the color stripped, but it's very damaging and costly. It took 2 years for my natural hair color to grow out to a decent length (past the shoulders for me), because even with the care you've taken, the dying still takes it's toll and your hair will take longer to grow. But once you get it back, it will be healthier than ever, and you can cut the dyed ends off and your hair will grow really fast after that.

high lights/low lights/streaks/whatever in a shade close to your natural color. Then let it grow.

Use peanut oil to strip out the color. You just saturate your hair with the peanut oil. Comb through from scalp to ends. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse. Shampoo twice. Blow dry. Repeat steps several times until all of the hair coloring has been stripped!

You have many options at this point. You could low-light it, this is putting back in your natural color with foils and then it will grow out more naturally and gradually. Or, you could use a semi-permanent color to put over your whole head. The only problem with going this route is that you have to MAKE SURE this is a SEMI permanent color, which means it will wash out without leaving that line of demarkation at the scalp. If it leaves that line it is NOT semi permanent. Good Luck!!

The next time you see a substantial outgrowth, about 1/2 in. dye the rest of your hair a color as close to your natural color as you can %26amp; then do not dye it any more. Just let it grow %26amp; as it grows ,keep getting the ends trimmed to promote faster growth.

Try to even the hair color by coloring it to a shade very similar to your natural hair tone, have a good hair cut, and in almost no time your natural hair color will be reality.

Stop coloring it,and cut often.Eventually you will have your own hair color back.

How can I let my natural hair color to grow out if ive been dying my hair every other month for the past 4 yrs

you either stop dying it

or......dye it back to your regular color so that the roots will not show when they grow back. I'd recomend that since well I hate roots!

umm...i think you just stop using the hair dye stuff. : )

How can I let my natural hair color to grow out if ive been dying my hair every other month for the past 4 yrs

just let it grow out, yes your roots will show, but personally, when i highlight my hair and my roots start to show, its not going to take that long for your natural hair to come back.

your best bet is to head to the salon...Let your hair grow out enough so that they can see the color of your natural hair.....a couple of inches is what we really prefer. they will then look in the crown of you head to determine your natural shade. If you have been coloring your hair lighter than it naturally is...your best bet would be to do high and low lights....more lows than highs, or if you are not afraid of a shock.... you can do all over color, and then add in some highlights....remember if you have been going lighter the new darker color will fade. It all depends on what you are ready for and what your stylist thinks is best for your hair and this also depends on the condition your hair is in.

What are some good products to use on natural hair to make it grow faster?

Last year, I stopped in a local Hair Salon in my hometown to get my hair cut for my 21st birthday. Before visiting the salon my hair had been natural for three years. So, the lady gives me a relaxer called, "Nairobi" after i had informed her before sitting in her salon chair that, Any other relaxer besides Affirm would eventually take my hair out. So, shortly after visiting the salon big clumps of my hair begin to fall out. Eventually the damage got so bad that, I had no choice but to cut the remainder of what little hair I did have left off. So, now i look like a man and from the description of myself this is not a good time for me. Can someone please help, If you or someone you know have experienced something like this, Could you please tell me what products helped his/her hair grow back healthier and faster?

What are some good products to use on natural hair to make it grow faster?

I always preach the wonders of prenatal vitamins. My doctor says they're perfect for all women, regardless of whether you're pregnant or not. They make your hair and nails grow, as well as make both shinier and stronger. You can get prescription brands from your OB/GYN, but they're usually pretty expensive (i.e. $1/day with insurance). Because of the price, I like to get the Target brand. The only thing the store brand prenatal vitamins are usually missing is the extra boost of folic acid.

Good luck!

How to get back to your natural hair colour with out it being obvious?

For a few years, i have been getting blonde high-lights in my hair (my hair is naturally really dark brown) and i am sick of it- it takes like an hour to get the colours back in when they grow out every time i go to the hair-dressers and i just want to have my natural dark brown colour but dont want it to look like i just died it brown coz my mates think that my hair is basically blonde.

How can i go back to my original colour?

How to get back to your natural hair colour with out it being obvious?

make the blonde go darker gradually.

get darker highlights than usual

just slowly let the blonde get dark

it may take 6 months are more

my hair used to be light-medium brown

but i gradually got it back to my natural dark brown in 6 to 7 months

How to get back to your natural hair colour with out it being obvious?

Just dye it, everyone will notice, but that's a chance you have to take. Or get a color stripper.

How to get back to your natural hair colour with out it being obvious?

... do it a little bit darker at a time, from blonde to dirty blonde, then to darker blonde, ect.

How to get back to your natural hair colour with out it being obvious?

Find the color that's as close to your hair color as possible and color it. as your roots grow in you shouldn't be able to tell. Try L`OR`EAL hair coloring permanent dye. They have many different kind, and they all really good. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

How to get back to your natural hair colour with out it being obvious?

OMG! I posted a question pretty much the same. I naturally, have brown hair, and kept getting blonde, and I couldnt stop because of the re-growth, so I got it semi permanent dyed. It washes out instead of regrowth. I want my hair brown too. All you can do is maybe get your hair thinned out, that will cut out some blonde. Or, you could get brown highlights over the blonde. Then when they grow out, you will have your brown regrowth. Good luck

How to get back to your natural hair colour with out it being obvious?

You could get lowlights put in with your highlights next time... Instead of putting the blonde over your roots, your hairdresser would dye some of the highlights to a color that's a little bit lighter than your natural color... It would be a transition towards your natural color. It might cost a lot, though.

Or, next time you get your highlights touched up you could have a toner put in.. My hairdresser put highlights in that were too light for my liking (they were almost white!) and I mentioned it and she decided to put a toner over it.. It's like the dye only it sits in your hair for five or ten minutes and then gets washed out.. It basically made the highlights look more natural.

Or you could just dye it right back to your natural color in one shot, but it's likely to wash out because it's been lacking the dark color for so long, so you'll probably have to have it dyed a few times before it's actually going to stick.. Either that or your hairdresser can just dye it a little darker than your natural color in anticipation for your hair to lose some of the color, but sometimes that turns out looking just shy of black, so it might not be a great option if you're going for the less noticeable approach.

How to get back to your natural hair colour with out it being obvious?

It took me forever but it was worth it.

I started getting low-lights all over and just hightlights in the top.

Then I let the underneath hair grow in dark. I slowly reduced the highlights, and now only get a couple around my face.

It was really subbtle and everyone likes it, including me. I was so over th blonde thing too.

Do you actually like your natural hair colour?

I do not like mine. My natural colour is auburn and it looks fake on me so I dye my hair dark brown which looks natural. I'm so glad I have brown eyebrows instead of blonde like most auburns so dark brown just looks natural on me.
