Let's take a moment to dispel the black hair growth myth. Black hair grows no matter what you do to it. It grows just like so called "white hair" and both are classified as "human hair". So why is black hair in a category of it's own? Here's the evidence that you need to understand why this is hard for some people to understand that black hair grows.

The Evidence

Clear your mind and think for a minute. How often do you get a touch up? Relaxers and hair dye touch ups are usually applied to new growth right? And hair grows from the scalp and not the ends so this new growth, must be a sign that black hair grows!

The problem lies within our ability to retain length. The length of our hair depends on how well we take care of our hair ends. This is crucial for any hair care regimen, black, white or otherwise. Not convinced? Well let's put it another way.

Take a picture and measure your hair. Do the same thing next month without trimming or dusting in between. Your measuring tape should measure 1/2 inch of new hair growth. Now just imagine if you gained and retained 1/2 inch of hair every month. Your hair would be longer do to your ability to retain those hair ends. So just how do you retain length?

First Things First

Throw out all of the products that you spent money on but never use. Grab a cute little basket and begin to collect all your hair care "keepers" making sure to store them in a area that is close to your bed. This way even when you are dead tired you can reach for your moisturizer and satin bonnet before you get some shut eye. Toss out all of those hair accessories that tear, rip, and break your hair. Replace them with ouch less and metal free accessories. Update all hair tools to ion, ceramic or tourmaline. These updated hair appliances are especially made with your hair's moisture retention in mind.


Invest In Your Hair

If you're interested in caring for your hair at home then you need to be equipped similar to a hair salon. Take all of your new tools, products and accessories and begin to organize them. Set up a hair care station equipped with a comfy chair and mirror. Purchase a hooded dryer, or a heating cap, for rollers sets and deep penetrating treatments. Create a regimen and begin to journal all of your trial and errors.

Speaking of Journal

This morning on the "The View" during the "Hot Topics" segment, the movie "Good Hair" was mentioned in anticipation of Chris Rock's appearance. During this conversation Barbara Walters said " I always thought that black women relaxed their hair to look white". She then went on to back up her theory by explaining that black women endure scalp burns and hair loss to look more white. She brought up her point of " View", many times throughout the segment. What are your opinions? Do you share the same " View "?
