Does braids really speed up hair growth....?

Hair growth is effected by good nutrition and by scalp stimulation. So if you've heard of this as a way to get your hair to grow faster, probably what is actually doing it is not the braiding process, but rather the stimulation (massage/brushing/combing) to the scalp that is part of the braiding process.

Well, when you braid your hair, the roots get stretched out a little bit more than usual and it softens up the hair follicles in order for them to grow at a faster rate. I know this because my hair is really long (almost down to my knees) and sometimes after I wear them in braids, I begin to see that my hair grows a bit longer and faster than usual.

Does braids really speed up hair growth....?

They do not speed up hair growth. However, they do prevent you from doing things like curling with hot irons and using harsh styling products which my cause breakage. Everyone's hair grows about the same amount each month. Some people just have less breakage. Getting braids kind of gives your hair a rest. However, if you have color or relaxers be careful because the tension along with your hair already being in a weakened state could cause more damage. Oh and just so you know I'm licensed cosmetologist and instructor so this is accurate information. Hope it helps.

Does braids really speed up hair growth....?

Yes hair can actually grow faster in braids compared to the regular rate without braids and just a relaxer...there are different reasons and it depends on the person..but top reason is that when hair is braided it is handled less (that is of course if you are properly taking care of the braids). Then another thing is the demarcation line..this applies to girls whose hair can only grow to a certain point (to shoulders, right past shoulders,etc.) Your hair can break at the point where it is constantly being "touched" by collar, constantly in same ponytail,etc.

Check the site below..it has further explanation on why it helps growth..

Does braids really speed up hair growth....?

Well they say that added pressure on an area will stimulate faster cell growth, so I don't see why it wouldn't.

I mean, if your hair is in braids, the braids are causing more strain on the hair and adding pressure, right? So technically that should increase the cell growth.

I'm going to have to go against the norm here and say YES, braids do. But it may only be certain types of braids.

Does braids really speed up hair growth....?

yes it helps in a way but u shoudlnt braid ur hair to much because ur hairline could get messed up. sometimes u should give ur hair a rest from braiding. sometimes trim the ends. braids will protect the hair from damage and split ends.

Does braids really speed up hair growth....?

No braiding does not spead up the growth process. It does however force you to leave your hair alone. Over processing, constant fidgeting, and execessive styling can stress out your hair. That leads to thinning and cuticle damage. Braiding your hair gives your hair a chance to recup and grow at its own pace without being tampered with each day.

That's why people with dreadlocks and braids always seem to have thicker longer hair. They leave it alone and it grows healthier and strong... not particularly faster

Does braids really speed up hair growth....?

No, in general, hair grows at a constant rate. There is very little you can do to speed it up or slow it down. Having said that, a healthy balanced diet generally promotes healthy hair. Healthy hair will grow better.
