Is washing your hair and allowing it to air dry healthy for trying to achieve maximum hair growth?

I'm Black and have shoulder length, coarse, frizz-proned, very dry hair. I get relaxers about every 6-8 weeks. When I want to wear it straight: I shampoo and condition, then flat iron and curl. But on days when I feel like being lazy, I just wash and allow to air dry. The result is loose ringlets/waves. Yet when it completely dries, it is dry looking. I use a leave conditioner (Giovanni's Direct Leave-in). I also use a serum. I am assuming that this low maintainance ';style'; is probably best for the health of my hair (to achieve maximum growth) since no heat is applied to it. What do you think? Is there any room for improvement? Also, what do think I should do keep the low maintainance style cute, shiny and in a healthy-state; I'm thinking about wearing this style more often this summer.Is washing your hair and allowing it to air dry healthy for trying to achieve maximum hair growth?
I don't think it will make it grow more, but it definitely is less damaging, no matter what they teach at cosmetology school. You will achieve max hair growth by keeping it trimmed regularly and maybe consider adding protein to your diet (that sometimes helps). Get a good stylist who knows a lot about ethnic hair and can recommend good products to use and how to get your hair growing!Is washing your hair and allowing it to air dry healthy for trying to achieve maximum hair growth?
hair growth really has nothing to do with what you are talking about. now it is true that the hair stays in a healthier condition when you don't apply as much heat, but it is talking about the ends of your hair and that it is not spliting. growth has to do with your blood and oxygen and nerves....


use redken ringlet, it is a curl perfector. so when your hair dries natural, it will do it with a less dry look... it is a good professional product...good luck
Don't listen to your first response (Angelia) she has no idea what she's talking about... the reason why her friend's hair gets tangled from air drying is because it's damaged from either heat or chemicals or maybe both.. constant tangles are a sign that your hair is damaged. Especially, when it easily gets tangled for no reason. Airdrying is the healthiest thing you can do for your hair. To Angelia .. tell your friend to stop damaging her hair and fix it by airdrying and laying off the chemicals =]
Applying heat directly to your hair is NEVER good... but acceptable. You should perm your hair no less than 8 weeks. I have a natural ( I'm african btw ) and if your hair is very dry you need to use some type of conditioner that has oil in it. Also make sure you're eating a balanced diet and drinking PLENTY of water because what goes inside you reflects everything outside. Hope this helps.
i didnt read all of the question just the head line and


No is the answer air dryer is better but honely lol lol lmao wont make your hair grow like really? are you kidding me! HA

no, my friend told me that when you air dry your hair it gets more damaged that blow drying it.


shes in cosmotology.


if you towel dry your hair and than blow dry it a little your hair will be in better shape


:]
I am mixed and my sister has similar hair to yours, it sounds like. Of course, it is much better for you to air dry your hair. Heat, especially constant heat dries out moisture from hair so heat damage can occur much easily. In the summer I wear my hair curly a lot of times and let it air dry with some products in it to hold curls in it. It is always important to let your hair take a break from the heat. So, I would put some mositurizing product or something to keep it from looking dry. I have to do the same thing or my hair looks dried up! I have pretty long hair mostly because I try to give it breaks and don't put too many chemicals in it. Shine products make a really good mousse that I use, that I believe is for Black people because it is in the ethnic hair section at the store. I use it and it works great for my hair and helps with the frizzies.
This is the best advice I've found for being a long-hair.





Read it carefully and follow it as much as you can.





I, personally, avoid blow-drying like the plague. When your hair is this long, it can actually cause tangles; and tangles lead to breaks. I also try really hard to skip the flat-iron (even though I love how my hair feels when it's straight). I use a shampoo %26amp; conditioner everyday, a 3-minute conditioning treatment once a week, and leave-in conditioner daily. I just let my hair air-dry and be crazy curly. When I want a little more shine, I use Brilliant Brunette Shine Shock, too.
I am multi-racial and my hair is thick, long, wavy and super curly. I wash my hair, deep condition it and let it air dry. Then I will flat iron it if I want to wear it straight. I don't use a flat iron or curling iron unless it's necessary. I believe that letting it air dry is best : ) It will help prevent less breakage as well. When I want to wear it naturally curly I just wash it, deep condition it and use a oil moisturizer. You should try Loreal Oil Free Moisturizer. That's what I use when I wear my hair natural.





Good Luck and Best Wishes!!

How much Biotin should i take for maximum hair growth????(safe amount)?

i bought some biotin pills cause i read that they make your hair grow faster and i need mine to grow out for sports and stuff. so right now my hair is like at my collar bone i wanna grow it out like a little above my boobs. so i bought biotin and each pill is 500mcg and i've taken 2 today but i was wondering to get the maximum hair growth and safetly what is the safe amount for me to take? and each pill is 500mcg please help! thank you! i didnt try to take more it says 1 pill but i took 2 on accident but nothings happened to me like dangerous i just dont know what is the safe but effective amount! thank you!!!How much Biotin should i take for maximum hair growth????(safe amount)?
i bought 5000 mcg super potency biotin and it works great! You take one a day and you can buy it at walmart.How much Biotin should i take for maximum hair growth????(safe amount)?
None because it's pointless. Take a multivitamin, eat enough protein, drink enough water, that's what you need. Biotin is water soluble so you can't overdose on it, you pee most of it out, your body can only absorb so much of it in a day.
im thinkin 2 but it really depends on how old you are the younger you are the less your body can handle, like say if your 13-15 take 2 buy if your 16 or higher id say take 3 but ask your doctor first before you take that many and ask him how many jsut to be sure
i take 3 everyday, but i have the 1000mcg ones.

Is there really a '; maximum hair growth ';?

i heard that there is a maximum hair growth, where you hair won't grow anymore?

a girl at my school says she got a hair cut (shoulder length) and three years later it still hasn't grown.

i want to grow my hair to waist, and it's like three inches past my shoulders.Is there really a '; maximum hair growth ';?
That is the biggest lie i have ever heard, ignore her it's not true, your hair wil grow to your waist but it could take years, it will take a long time. Sometimes people don't realise there hair is growing when it is, this maked them think that it has stopped, but it hasn't. Just be patient and yourhair will be as long as you like xxIs there really a '; maximum hair growth ';?
No there isn't.

Ever see people with super long dreadlocks? I've seen one guy who had them down to his feet.

It all depends on how healthy your body is and what you put on your hair.

Before I got my hair locked, it hardly grew at all over a course of months. When I got locks and started putting only natural ingredients on my head (like witch hazel, honey, etc.), it started growing SUPER fast.
Okay i had my hair to my shoulder and I wanted my hair LONG so i try ed a shampoo and conditioner called Mane'N Tale and like in 6 months my hair was long it grew 4';..

Which softee hair product is the best for maximum hair growth?

hmm whats that now?


probably another vague one like this -





There was this intersting product I saw- all natural -they say geishas used for long hair. its an oil nd you leave on overnight- not too greasy as oils go.


I was getting something else for my daughter when I saw it on site- tried it on her- she had shortish scanty hair- like most kids, i guess, and it worked very quickly on her- she's 2- also used it on her eyelashes like they said, and they are lovely and curvy now.


Her hair got thicker and longer in less than a couple of weeks- they said onsite will work faster for kids %26amp; short hair

Hair only grows a quarter of an inch to a half an inch a month and if you trim too often you could lose that growth. Keep hair well moisturized and protected. Take a multivitamin with biotin. Stay away from heat and too much manipulation.
brush ur hair a lot and massage ur scalp

Flintstone vitamins.....contains same as prenatal vitamins.....helps with lots of things, but only take one a day! i have noticed a difference since my doc told me to stop spending all my money on other stuff.
Massage and stimulate your scalp. It is only with a healthy scalp that one may receive maximum hair growth. Stay away from perms and chemicals that are touted as being good for your hair as they only prey upon ones own insecurities. Think of it like growing a plant. It is what you do to the soil (in your case your scalp) that really makes a difference in your plants growth.
eat vegetables or take vitamins rich in zinc
a healthy diet, and scalp stimulation (like a deep kneading) as well as making sure your scalp is in the best condition to grow hair (no build up of anything) and I have noticed in my business that people's hair seems to grow faster in the summer, I can't help but think that it's due to more fresh air and sunshine!

other than shoving pills down your throat, here are ways to promote hair growth:





1. Massage your scalp for 60 seconds every morning and night. This promotes healthy blood flow and helps hair grow faster and stronger.





2. Don't wash your hair everyday. Unless you hair is filthy, shampooing your hair daily can strip your hair of it's natural oils that help it grow.





3. Don't constantly comb/brush your hair. This makes your hair weak.





4. When heat styling, use a heat protectant to keep your hair healthy and mantain a healthy growth pattern.





5. Eat healthy. Don't go on a diet or anything, but veggies and dairy products and plenty of water everyday can have a dramatic difference in how quickly your hair grows.Maximum hair growth?
WoW you are a small 13 yr old. There are different vitamins out there but first you need to ask your mom for permission. You can take vitamin E and Bioton (i think that is how that is spelled). Just a good multi vitamin is good to take. I personally wouldn't advise you to take a prenatal vitamin because with your age you dont know what affect it will have on you. Just maintain a good diet and get your mom or someone you trust to help you pick out a good vitamin for you.
yeah prenatal pills work good but there are also some very good shampoos that do the job head and shoulders also works good b/c it makes your hair strong
I'm 13 too
