Hair Growth Products for Black Women

Hair growth is slower in a black woman's hair due to the thicker texture. The hair is often coarse and dry, but using certain hair utensils, shampoos and conditioners can help increase hair growth in black women.

Silk wrap caps

Use silk wrap caps instead of cotton wrap caps to help hair grow. Cotton tends to pull out hair at night, especially with active sleepers, but silk wraps protect the natural oils and reduce breakage.

Leave-in Conditioners

Leave-in conditioners moisten, detangle and protect black hair, making it grow quicker. Natural and botanical oils also hydrate black hair, making it grow in healthier.

Hair Oil

Hair oil products like Luster's Pink Lotion and Parnevu oil keep the scalp moist and help eliminate dandruff. Apply oil to the scalp once every one to two weeks to eliminate flakes.

Anti-Dandruff Shampoos

Dandruff causes the scalp to itch and may also cause a rash, which can cause hair loss. By using anti-dandruff shampoos like Pantene Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Women of Color, dandruff won't build up and hair will continue to grow.

Multivitamins

Vitamins can increase hair growth, especially multivitamins that have Vitamins B12, B6, and B1, which also moisten and protect skin.

Correct Combs

For a wrap hairstyle, use a feather comb rather than a fine-toothed comb. Feather combs will help de-tangle hair and are less likely to pull it out.

on 8/10/2009 You give misinformation. Black hair doesn't really grow slower, its lack of proper care that makes it appear that way. Pink oil is not good for our hair it contains petroleum and mineral oil which is detrimental to hair growth. Before giving out anymore black hair advice go to [e-mail]
