Hey I just wanted to know if Locks or Braids make your hair grow faster because I wear braids a lot but my hair often brakes off because of the tightness of the braid, i wanted to try locks but my friends told me it was too messy, so which one do you guys perfer?

i wud say locks, as there is minimal friction.

for me,braids helps my hair grow faster.When i make braids,i wear it for close to a month plus and when i loose it.OOPS!i see the difference difference.
It depends on the stylist who makes ur hair for u,some are so tight handed that the pack the whole of ur brain.so,maybe u shud try another stylist.

braids 4 me.

braids

i heard dreads, make Ur hair grow way faster

Braids makes my hair grow faster,and i also think it depends on the stylist.Some stylists are so tight-handed that when u start loosing ur hair,it breaks always.

One thing i realized is that those with dread locks have longer hair,anyway it depends on individual's hair texture,for me braids makes my hair fuller,and if it stays too long, it makes weaker.
So both braids n locks r cool,it depends on ur hair texture,

None man. If you want your hair to stop breaking. Stay off extensions for a while and try hair strengthener its presently working for me

braids grow my hair better.

locks,

i say both! c o s they both lead to minimal disturbance of the hair in terms of non combing ,brushing ,pulling or tugging, so the hair grows faster with minimal shedding


braids can be unbraided(temporary) but locks are permanent,

Braids!

Hair now down to my shoulders!

it is braids for me

Braids all the way

Braids. . . .worked wonders on my hair.

Even braiding for weaves work too

None really helps the hair grow faster. All hair grows at almost the same rate. The only way to see the growth/length is to protect the ends from breaking or splitting. Both braids and dreads help in protecting the ends.

could be braids

Braids... My hair grows relatively fast either way.
But I either always cut it or...cause damage to it.

My hair (like all black hair) really just needs to be left alone.
Plenty of moisturizing and oils is enough to keep our hair healthy.

but the constant combing, brushing is what stunts the growth and causes
split ends not to mention hair dyes and constant flat ironing....
that is where I used to mess up!

So I give it hot oil treatments then, shampoo/condition it. Get it
braided/twisted and it does it's own thing.

I love how 90 perfect of the responses are braids!!

African tradition for African hair...of course it would be the best!!

Not only is your hair LEFT ALONE but your scalp is exposed
to absorb natural sun light (vitamin D) and stands less of a chance
of being irritated than someone who is constantly bombarding it with
chemicals and bristles from hair brushes.
