Step 1
The first step in growing any long healthy hair is by trimming the ends and deep conditioning. African American hair is dry by nature and needs to be properly moisturized to prevent split ends and breakage.
-
Step 2
The second step is to look over several hairstyles that last over a long amount of time. For example me personally, I have kept my hair in individual brais medium size not to big and not small like micro braids, and I kept them in for about 3-4 months redoing the ones around the edges.(Although they should only be kept in for probably 2 months I am a college student and dont have time to get my hair redone and so I just made sure I did a lot of conditioning before I put the braids in and I also used a braid spray. Preferably African Royal.) But you do not have to wear braids their are other styles like full head sew-ins and etc. Anything that will keep the hair from being manipulated for a long period of time.

Step 3
Next with this method it keeps you away from putting harmful chemicals in your hair from stunting growth or causing breakage. It also promotes growth.

Step 4
Another thing that could be done is thaking a good hair skin and nail supplement along with the method. Depending on how long you leave the style up (2+ months) hair can grown an extra 2-5inches longer.
