Make Black Hair Grow When It'S Permed

Growing long hair may require some lifestyle changes.

Black hair is unique in that it requires a lot of moisture in order to stay healthy. Combined with other factors, such as proper diet and drinking lots of water, black hair can grow substantially. The new growth will be naturally textured hair, but one can always perm the new growth if desired.

Instructions

1. Maintain your hair properly. Wash it regularly, preferably once a week, but it's good to be self-aware and realize the frequency of washing that's good for you. Condition your hair with a quality conditioner after washing, and seal it with a petroleum and mineral oil-free sealer. Petroleum and mineral oil will block your pores and restrict hair growth. Experiment and see what products work best for your hair.

2. Keep hair moisturized. Spritz with distilled water a few times a day to make sure your hair doesn't get too dry. This is especially important in dry climates.

3. Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet contributes to all areas of health, including healthy hair. Eat fruits and vegetables aplenty, and avoid foods high in saturated fat and processed sugar.

4. Drink lots of water. Water helps your body to complete body processes efficiently, including producing new hair growth. Water also purifies the body. Drink at least 64 oz of water each day. Carry a reusable water bottle with you if it helps. You can also drink unsweetened tea and flavored water to add variety.

5. Massage your scalp every day or night to stimulate blood flow to the scalp. This is will also stimulate hair growth (and it feels great too).
