What products will help African American hair grow (shampoo, conditioners, gel, grease, etc) any ideas?

My aunt spoke of paraffin oil What products will help African American hair grow (shampoo, conditioners, gel, grease, etc) any ideas?
I generally use Beauty4Ashes GodHead Max Moisture %26amp; Grow Shampoo and Conditioner, Carol's Daughter Khoret Amen Smoothie for Deep Conditioning, Tui Hair Oil/ Lisa's Elix (either or) to keep my scalp from getting dry, Tui Leave-In Conditioner (smells great and a light mist helps your ends) and Most IMPORTANT (to my hair anyway) is Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil. Its all natural, and is very good for your hair. I use it specifically for my ends, but its really good for your whole head, absorbs over night and isn't greasy, but leaves your hair feeling stronger.





I STAY AWAY from Pantene (its second most abundant ingredient after water is Petrolatum a derivate of Mineral Oil which we all know stunts black hair growth), and Mizani. The Beauty 4 Ashes stuff can be a little expensive, so if you don't want to splurge I recommend the Nexxus Line in conjunction with a Carol's Daughter Smoothie for deep conditioning and one of her oils/moisturizers like Healthy Hair Butter or Hair Milk. There's a WONDERFUL article you should take a look at, I linked it in the sources. Good Luck!What products will help African American hair grow (shampoo, conditioners, gel, grease, etc) any ideas?
Hair is always growing. But it may not be getting longer, and that is a whole different problem. You need to make your question clear.





You are probably breaking your hair off. Your hair is very brittle, and the way we handle hair tends to break it very easily. Straight hair can be handled much harsher, but curly hair like yours is very delicate. It needs to be touched very little.





Wearing a ';natural'; style may be best, or covering it up in some way, or wearing it in braids. But braids that are too tight will pull the hair out and that is not good either. The less you do to your hair, the better. It is growing, but because of the curl you don't see it that much. And if you keep breaking it off, that doesn't help. There is nothing you can put on the outside to make hair grow ... it works according to its own schedule.

hair will grow at its own pace. it's based on genetics. to make sure it'll grow as long as possible and not break off, drink water, eat enough healthy protein such as fish, don't put too much product on your hair. stay away from shampoos with sulfates (sodium laureth, ammonium lauryl, etc.)





stay AWAY from anything with petroleum or mineral oil





some people swear by biotin and cod liver oil.





the one and only thing that makes my hair grow- putting it up in braids and not touching it. whenever i do that, it gets long. (i'm sure it's cause i'm not messing with it, and give it time to grow so i'm always surprised when i take the braids out). but anyway, that works for me. and drinking a lot more water (at least a liter a day)
