How to Grow Long Black Hair by Using Great Products
Author: Paula Clarke
When it comes to managing African American and Bi-racial hair there are only two hair care companies on the market that will leave your hair in salon quality condition and not greasy or dull. You have to stop using Suave, Salon Selectives, Motions, and Alberto VO5, because although affordable, hey will leave your hair type dry and brittle. If you want professional looking hair,without making a salon visit each week,then try Ojon Hair Products or Beauty 4 Ashes’s GodHead™ Hair care Products. Both companies produce superior hair care products that are amazing, especially if you have damaged hair and are looking to grow healthier hair. The major difference between the two companies is that Beauty 4 Ashes produces completely all-natural products that contain no chemicals and sends faith scriptures with all of their products. Since, both companies produce high quality products, they are more pricey than your average drugstore shampoo. Therefore, I suggest that you start out with each company’s best product, then experiment with other things they produce.
The best Ojon product on the market is their Restorative Hair Treatment, it comes in a small jar with a comb. The product is solid, but liquefies instantly when you rub it in your hands. You can leave the treatment in overnight or wash it out after 30 minutes and your hair should feel and look nice and soft. You can find Ojon product at their online website.
When it comes to Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead products, there is much debate within the hair stylist community on which is the best product. In the United Kingdom, most stylists of African American Hair or Bi-racial hair prefer to use their GodHead™ Max Moisture shampoo and conditioner on their clients’ hair, because it has great detangling capabilities, can loosen tight curl patterns, and is filled with over 22 all natural ingredients, such as jojoba, shea, vitamin e, and coconut oil. All these nourish the scalp and grow hair. However, in the United States, most hair stylists prefer GodHead™ Silky Smooth shampoo and conditioner. The GodHead Silky Smooth system contains a vitamin-rich and hair softening sunflower and coconut soap base that is great for damaged hair. Silky Smooth also has a hair-thickening conditioner that can be used as a deep conditioner treatment. It works wonders on chemically treated hair by infusing the scalp with vitamins and the hair strands with natural oils. It produces a rich lather that most customers like. No matter which GodHead™ system you choose, both will give your hair that salon quality look, brilliance, length, and shine. You find their products at wwwdiscoverb4acom
If you are serious about getting your hair into prime condition, remembr to stay away from the drugstore products that contain harsh detergents and sulfates and go with all-natural products over their chemical counterparts. Drugstore hair care products will not only damage your hair in the long run, but are a complete waste of money. You can also have salon quality hair from the convenience of your home. It may cost you a little more upfront, but you will more than make up for the initial loss by the savings you earn when decreasing your time between relaxers and salon visits.

How to Grow Black Hair: African American Hair Care Tips
Author: Geraldine Prickett
This article is a must read if you want to grow longer hair, or even stop hair loss. No matter how many products or treatments you have tried, hair growth can be achieved despite years of stunted hair growth, shedding, and hair trauma. Trust me, I am speaking from personal experience. About three years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of my medications and chemotherapy was hair loss and balding. Devastated by having patches of hair on my head, during recovery, I did what most people do---I bought wigs. At first, the wigs seemed like a perfect solution. But, they were really a cover up. Moreover, my niece would scream when she saw me because she couldn’t recognize me with my “new wig.” So, I begin using hair loss products in hopes to regrow my hair. Unfortunately, this was another unsuccessful venture. Rogaine. DHT Blockers. Minoxidil. All of these products failed to perform what they promised. Further, I spend hundreds of dollars on Minoxidil every month, only to have no hair growth and a sore scalp. Frustrated, I decided that there had to be a method or some natural product available that would grow my hair, stop my shedding, and stop my balding. Believe it or not, I found one. However, there are some things you need to know about hair loss before I tell you what worked for me.
What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss, shedding, and balding occurs for several reasons. They may occur because of heredity, diet, lifestyle choices, or prescribed medications. Even your hair care products and styling techniques may be facilitating your hair loss or stunting your hair growth. If you are like me, a combination of these factors may be retarding your hair growth. If your diet is laden with fats, alcohol, sugars, and junk foods, you are actually inhibiting your hair’s ability to grow. If you buy most, if not all, of your hair care products from traditional stores, you are most likely buying a hair-damaging useless product. Most hair care products, including most of those that claim to be “all-natural,” contain synthetic emulsifiers and harsh detergents, such as Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Phosphates, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Unfortunately, these products are loaded with toxins and chemicals that actually dry and strip your hair of vital nutrients it needs to grow.
How to Grow Your Hair, Stop Balding, and Stop Hair Loss?
You have to attack hair loss on the inside and the outside. A great hair growth regimen has three necessary components: a healthy eating plan, substantial water intake, and a high quality hair growth and hair care product.
Step One: A Healthy Hair Eating Plan
Your hair is all protein. Thus, you need a protein rich diet, chocked fill of B Vitamins and other hair-strengthening nutrients. Increase your intake of fish. It is full of healthy proteins and essential fatty acids and natural oils your hair needs. In addition, drink a protein supplement or shake everyday. If you follow this plan, not only will your hair grow, but you will also lose weight. That is, of course, if you lay off the junk food. Remember, I warned you too much junk food above.
Step Two: Drink Water
Eight to ten glasses of water is an absolute requirement. Drinking water flushes your body of toxins, chemicals, and impurities that stifle your hair growth and disrupt your hormone and enzyme imbalances. Water also transports the important nutrients your body needs throughout your body. Hate drinking water? Add lemon and Splenda to have a healthy, tasty alternative.
Step Three: Buy a High Quality Hair Growth Product
I suggest you go all-natural. Unnatural hair care products are a no-no for someone who wants long-lasting, healthy hair growth. Find a hair growth product that contains powerful essential oils, natural herbs, and vitamin rich nutrients your hair needs to survive. Look for products with ingredients such as: Aloe Vera, Citrus Fruits, Jojoba, Rosemary, and Sage. Make sure you stray away from all natural products that use natural extracts. Extracts are not as powerful as essentials oils. They are a cheap substitute for the real thing. Although there are several natural hair care products on the market, not all hair growth products are created equal. Make sure you read the fine print. Most “natural” products still contain phosphates, sodium lauryl sulfate, petroleum, mineral oil, and other lab created humectants that ultimately damage your hair. My advice---if you can’t read the ingredients, don’t buy the product. When I was searching for a natural hair growth product, I found one really great buy, Beauty 4 Ashes Super Hair Growth System. Finding this company took me awhile; but Beauty 4 Ashes pretty much gives you everything you need to make your hair grow. Foremost, I checked the ingredient listings and the products contained no artificial ingredients. The system also included hair growth vitamins, a great hair healthy eating plan, and even scalp stimulating hair growth exercise routine. At first, the system may seem a bit pricey, but, boy was I impressed with the results. In 9 months, I went from patches of hair to hair just above my shoulders. Now, I am no product junkie; but I have to tell you that this product is worth the money. It does not cost an arm and leg and it is worth every penny you pay. You can find it easily at www.discoverb4a.com. Also, check for it on Ebay. You may actually find a deal.
