Many girls dream of having long and healthy natural hair, but unfortunately this isn’t as easy as it sounds. Try following these simple rules and with a bit of luck, you’ll be able to grow your natural hair in only a few months.

Get regular trims

Trimming your hair on a regular basis, which means every 6 to 8 weeks, is rule number one for growing your natural hair. This might sound scary, but regular trims really do promote hair growth, because your hair can grow only if it’s healthy.

THEY ARE DEAD TO ME 😅 Getting those dead ends off is so satisfying!! I get asked all the time how can I get my hair to grow or how can I keep my hair healthy. TRIMS. I know you want to keep your hair long or grow it out so you don’t want to cut a ton off, which I totally get. . Getting trims every 3-4 months is important for keeping those ends tidy & its critical for growing out your hair. I promise!! Have you ever heard someone say “my hair stops growing at a certain length?” The truth is their ends are just breaking off before they can get longer because damage & split ends travel up the hair strands. When hair breaks off, it gets thin & stringy but a trim will get your ends thick again!

Avoid heating tools

Heat is your worst enemy if you’re trying to grow your hair and keep it healthy. This means you should avoid curling irons, hair straighter and even blow dryer if it’s possible.

Deep condition

If you’re still not using a deep conditioner on a weekly basis, you should make this a habit as soon as possible. Apply a deep conditioner, cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic bag and then leave it for at least half an hour. Repeat this every week and you’ll see the results after a while.

Silk pillowcase

One more thing you can do for your hair is to buy a silk pillowcase that’ll protect your hair and make it less prone to tangling and breakage. Many women swear by silk pillowcases and their power to transform damaged hair.
