Hey ladies, there's a page(@kinikinks) on instagram that is for nigerians with natural hair. Is anybody on here following them? They give tips on hair care and post really nice hairstyles for natural hair. I've been featured there and i think they are pretty cool.

Hi dear, I have a niece with a similar problem. She's four. We had to cut her hair and start a daily application of Nappygirl Pudding which I make. Now it's growing out evenly. You can substitute with a daily application of castor oil. It should be applied on clean scalp for effectiveness.

Make sure you do the basics first. Always moisturize and seal with oil. Know when your hair needs food and water. Deep condition often and don't forget to sleep in satin caps. Get a leave-in conditioner that works for your hair. If this doesn't keep your hair soft and healthy, then find addditional solutions

Hi dear, fixing will only worsen issues and cause the hairline to recede even further. Try to purchase Hair Trigger Elixir available on sizzelle.com and apply to hairline as directed. Invest in a good wig so you can care for your hair easily.

NappilyNigerian:
A lot of people don't think Nigerian hair can grow long and soft unless they are mixed or their hair is relaxed...that isn't true.

Nigerians can have soft and long hair too whether relaxed or natural.

The problem is that we don't really know how to care for our hair type.

The Indians know how to care for their coarse straight hair (coarse being that their hair strands are thick ...people confuse coarse with 'the feel of the hair' not the strand thickness...your hair can be coarse and feel soft).
The Brazilians, the Chinese, the Caucasians all know how to care for their hair type but unfortunately many Africans don't know how to care for their hair.

They'll use products and methods suited for the hairtypes of other races ....and when their hair revolts by being hard, dry, break and such....they blame the hair....not the products or methods!

The key to growing soft, long Nigerian hair is this "NOURISH THE SCALP, STRENGTHEN THE HAIR".

Avoid products and methods that clog or dry out the scalp.
Avoid products and methods that damage the hair strands.

Most Nigerians have hair (in it's natural state) that is
-very coily
-fine stranded
-porous

which make it prone to dryness (reason for the hard to touch) and breakage (reason we don't have long hair).

Even if your hair is relaxed, it can't change the fact that our strands are much thinner and flatter than the straight hair of other races and the chemicals make our hair even more fragile.

Here are simple tips to grow Nigerian hair long and soft.

1.Nourish the scalp

-Natural oils and butters contains nutrients that nourish the scalp.
The scalp is the soil from which hair grows.

-Scalp massages with oils know to stimulate hair growth is beneficial not only to growing hair but also to growing stronger, healthier hair that can withstand styling and be less prone to breakage (which is the reason why one is stuck with one length forever!!!!)..

- Washing the scalp with harsh products dry it out leading to scalp problems and poor hair growth. So use good quality products.

The Indians know it. The Brazilians know it!


2. Strengthen and protect the hair:
- The hair that grows out of your scalp is relatively is not living tissue.Healthy, soft hair starts from the scalp.

- Because our hair is super coily, the natural oils on our scalp cannot flow down to the ends of our hair. (same thing even when you're relaxed. You can't get all the kinks out without damaging the hair).
So a light coating of natural oil daily helps lubricate and protect the strands and retain moisture.

- Speaking of moisture, dryness is the reason our hair feels hard to touch and the reason it breaks.
It's important to use hair products that draw moisture to the cortex of the hair strands keeping it supple, flexible, soft and less prone to breakage. (meaning more visible growth).

- Also don't rip through tangles with a comb (never use those blue rat tailed comb!)
Use a wide tooth comb and detangle from bottom to top as carefully as you would detangled your treasured Brazilian/Peruvian/Indian weave.

- If you're relaxed, make sure your hair is completely dry and oiled (I love coconut oil) before detangling. If you're natural, damp or wet detangling with slippery conditioner will save your length.

Here's a picture of my hair using the right methods and products for my Afro textured hair and I hope to grow it even longer!
always long story. Jst cut d story short

Re: How To Grow Nigerian Hair Long: My Hair Journey by sisiadah(f): 7:02pm On Dec 29, 2014
Good day people. I've had my hair relaxed since I was little, I've always had short and no front hair, my mum has no front hair too so I thought it was in the family but I recently came across pictures of her with full frontal hair. My hair really embarrasses me. Someone advised me to go natural and I'm considering it, haven't relaxed my hair since july and I'm planning to chop off the relaxed ends come january. I really need to know the hair products that'll be suitable, and the hair regime for beginners. Thank you smiley
