It might not be at the same rate as others but with patience and a healthy hair regimen you can reach bra-strap length and beyond hair. The first step is to let go of that age old myth that black women can’t wash our everyday and can go months between washes.

Wash your hair every 4-7 days with sulfate and paraben free products, following that with the most important moisturizing routine. Washing hair helps to stimulate the blood flow to the scalp and remove build up so that your scalp can breathe, this all promotes hair growth. Starting with a good wash routine is the first step in growing long hair.
