Things You'll Need:
- a boar bristle brush
- a prong brush
-
Step 1
First, start by limiting the frequency of your hair washing to every 3 days. During the last couple days it can be helpful to keep your hair in braids. Over washing your hair will cause it to be dry and brittle. By only washing your hair every 3 days, you will retain the natural oils which nourish your hair, making it healthy and strong.
-
Step 2
Next, massage your scalp every night with your prong hairbrush. Really rub your scalp with it in circular motions. This gets the blood circulating in your hair follicles, necessary for hair growth.
-
Step 3
Finally, brush your hair every night with a boar bristle hairbrush. Start at the roots and brush with long strokes all the way down to the ends of your hair. this will pull that natural oil throughout your hair, nourishing it and strengthening the tips of the hair shaft.
Pretty soon, your hair will be long and strong!!!

on 1/13/2009 Actually this does work. Your hair natural oils are the best thing for your hair, and constant shampooing is known to strip the oils from your hair. Also, stimulating your follicles is the best way to activate your hair's growth. I am surprised you don't know this if you have been doing hair for 33 years!

on 1/11/2009 THIS IS NOT the way to get LONG hair. Shampoo your hair 3 times a day if you wish, JUST be SURE to use a gentel shampoo. Vitamins, GOOD HEALTHY DIET, massage your scape, EXERCISE, SERIOUS EXERCISE, will make your ahir grow like crazy. Normal hair growth is 1/2 per month. You could boost that to 3/4 inches per month, but that's about as FAST as anyone's hair is going to grow PERIOD! I ahve been a hairdresser for 33 years. I KNOW. THEN there are some un luckey people that have ahir that just does not grow fast, not matter what. Go easy on color and chemicals, they will break your hair off. BUT SHAPOO ALL YOU WISH!
