  • Hi! I’m an African American year old female and I recently did the big chop last May! My hair was very short then and now however its growing! I haven’t straighten my hair since, so to measure my hair I just stretch it as far as I can and its usually about to my shoulders (almost) but then it shrinks to my ear when not stretch lols gotta love shrinkage!! xD Our hair is not nappy its coily and kinky! 😀 I think I have the same type as you but once you have a good routine your hair will be soft and managable!! TRUST ME!! My hair has two different textures after it is washed and when I do my conditioning and moisture ah-mazing!!!!! Soft I always get compliments. I also believe i’m a b/c. But I LOVE HAIR ASSOCERIES TOO < OMG when I was in your stage I rocked a “Fro-Hawk” and omg darling everyone LOVED IT!!! Anywho…..

    I learned some tips along the way from watching youtube ! I only glimpse at Natural because alot of naturals I met always mentioned her and I wanted to see the hype lols but I prefer these youtubers! so i’ll mention some with links! So check out these chicas! They will definitely help you

    Advice:

    . Have a hair routine

    -African hair needs mositure, if your hair is always dry and brittle after you use certain products then those products are not working for your hair at all and that can lead to breakage!!!

    ***wash your hair at least once a week!! Thats a MUST…. and with shampoo only twice a month! so here is my routine for example.

    I have a hair day which is Sunday 🙂 So on Sunday # I will wash my hair with shampoo and use a conditoner then with the conditioner still in my hair I detangle with a WIDE TOOTH COMB then rinse! I’m done. Then I use a leave in conditoner.

    Sunday #

    I only cowash (which is just conditoner) and I use a deep conditoner, I detangle then I leave covered in my hair for – mins rinse and I’m done and I use a leave in conditioner

    Sunday # same as Sunday #

    Sunday # same as Sunday #

    Also there is something called LOC in the mostisture which I think Blackonyx if you watch her video will explain that better than I can! Here is the link and it starts around : if you want her to get to the point xDD http://youtu.be/CMpBfVHJ-OQ

    I use all As I Am hair products and a gel softener (thats not As I Am) I’ll provide the links for you just in case your interested. (I have b/c hair type lols these products makes my hair SOFT and so easy to style)

    As I AM WEBSITE: They sell these products at Sallys and some walgreens but I prefer the website.

    GEL SOFTENER: Its around $. at walmart

    . Trim your hair about every – months!!! (or when you see split ends or so)

    Since your hair isn’t growing it can be many things! But right now you want to get rid of the unhealthy ends pronto, because that can be a factor too! When I cut my hair for the first aka the big chop my hair grew like crazy! So trim your hair or if it is very damaged then you probably have to cut more 🙁

    . Diet (Just what you eat lols not like Jenney Craig or something)

    -Drink plenty or water, eat healthy and exercise! You are what you eat lols. I’m a health freak so the items that you eat definlently affects growth of hair and your body. So, if you don’t eat fruits or vegatables try at least to eat one of those items a day. You will feel great! I just ate pizza about last week I felt so misable xD also the same with exercise! I try to hit the gym at least – times a week…but i’ve been lazy and busy so this week I only have time for it on the weekend!

    Sorry for the length! I hope this helped you!
