4 things that ACTUALLY grew my afro #afrohair #naturalhair #hairgrowth

Here's four things I don't do to my natural hair anymore as someone who's went from ear length to waist length and what I do instead. Number one, I don't do blowouts more than once every few months now. The tension was way too much. The brushes typically use rip off your ends and your hair from your scalp for the most part. So if I am going to do a blowout, it's usually always going to be with my Rev Air. Or less tension and less breakage. Number two, I do not skip my wash days anymore. I used to avoid shampooing specifically because I thought shampoo was evil

It's because of all the sebum, dirt, and buildup. Now I clarify once or twice a month and shampoo and condition every seven days. Three, I don't get protective styles with extensions. At least I hardly do now. It causes split ends and tension damage if done incorrectly, especially for my already fragile high porosity hair. Plus in those styles, it's much easier to freak it to re-moisturize your hair, which

causes a ton of breakage when you take out the style. And if you don't know your hair's porosity, you could take the free hair porosity quiz on my page. Number four, I don't go to bed without my hair being in a pineapple, puff, twist, or braids. Since I have longer hair, going to bed without some kind of style keeping my hair up will create a big mess in my bonnet. I'll just wake up to a bunch of tangles and fairy knots that will take me hours in my bonnet. I'll just wake up to a bunch of tangles and fairy knots that will take me hours to fix. But if you have shorter hair, like one to two inches, it's not as necessary though. These
