Recommended Hair Product(s) for an African-American Teenage Girl?

Question

I have really bad hair, and I just want my hair to stop breaking and start growing. I'm 14 years old and live on the east side of the U.S. any suggestions?

Answer 1

I recommend natural products only,know what your putting in your hair,to give my hair shine I only use 100%olive oil, I use it to grease my scalp.I use Dr bronners to wash my hair,or you can use a plain old aloe plant and give your hair a good scrub,they put too much garbage in the stuff in the store that tears your hair up.there is nothing you can do about a perm if you have 1 but you can keep it maintained with natural stuff to avoid even more chemicals in your hair.

Answer 2

okay I'm african american and i have really long hair ..ill tell you the secret...when you get a relaxer tell them to have it on and off in 20 min. when your get your relaxer dont try to make your hair bone straight because when you do that your hair gets exposed to the chemicals to long and causes your hair to break so when your done with getting a relaxer just ask the lady to straighten your hair with a straightener....and some other points:

-dont put so much grease on your scalp

-put lots of oil sheen in it, it works just as well as grease but dosent make your hair so heavy

-dont spend countless hours coming your hair all the time. only do it when it needs to be done....

-if you want your hair to grow STOP PUTTING EXTENTIONS IN IT...that only rips out hair

-and last...i summer is already done...but you can do it next summer to...put corn rolls in your hair,(NOT with extentions) they make your hair grow& and just get them re-braided when they start getting fuzzy and try to keep the braids all summer.

Since your hair is breaking and u also want it to grow I would suggest taking a hair vitamin . Gnc has this hair program call hair nails and skin.that will stop your hair from breaking and since it has 3000mg of bitons that should really help ur hair grow. It work for me . Also dr miracle has great products that stop breaking

Aphogee products will strengthen you hair and slow down the breakage. Try the shampoo for damaged hair, two-minute reconstructor, and vitamin leave-in. they're not expensive either.
