First, you have to understand that hair grows an average of 6 inches per year which breaks down to 1/2 inch per month. Growing longer hair will take time and patience. I don't think that's what you want to hear since you have a deadline but that's the truth. If your hair is Afro-textured- moisturizing, deep conditioning, shampooing on a regular basis (no once a month business), and taking a quality multi- vitamin (with zinc, iron, biotin), and drinking water will be your best friends. Good luck but don't get discouraged since consistency is key. Oh and PLEASE don't use Crisco to flat iron. It's a recipe for disaster and will not promote hair growth. Instead buy a heat protectant or serum to prevent against heat damage if you want to straighten your hair.

Crisco is a bad idea.

well why is your hair uneven? ok. well i heard that if you massage your head it will stimulate your nerves, causing your hair to grow faster. i really dont think your hair will grow that fast by the 7th though, since thats coming up pretty soon. if your hair is kinda curly, you could straighten it to add a little length, but other than that im not sure what else you could do!

What happens when you heat grease?? It equals frying. You will literally fry your hair which will then cause breakage. The only thing you can do is to trim the damaged ends of your hair and give it time. You should try changing your diet, exercise and maybe use some vitamin supplements. Biotin is effective with hair growth but will also cause acne break outs so use the smallest dose that you can and still see results.

by january 7th?? lol...oh lord just get a weave....

and your friend was playing with you...or i think that she is extremely evil and wants you bald!

you have about a year to go....(or maybe less) depending on your growth pattern.

Don't forget that African-American hair is extremely fragile and delicate (even if it looks rough and coarse)and you must take good care of it. I suggest you keep it braided getting it redone every week or two, and keeping it moisturized. Also, don't forget trim every 6-8 weeks.

but for shoulder length hair by what, Monday after next? Get a quick fix with extensions!

Currently i have long hair and have been learning alot so...

i do not have a relaxer i stopped getting them 5 years ago ( and i've only have 3 relaxers in my life time so this is all natural) so i can show you how to take care of hair with or without a relaxer.

1. The shampoo, unfortunately many black women are using shampoos with alcohol and petroleum jelly. step away from them. Use Aveda's shampoo.. specifically the name is Brilliant...go to the website. I use it, i love it, it mouisterizes my hair and the products are natural. i have also heard that KeraCare is good.

2. Okay, step two condition it and then it is time to comb it out, Do not use a brush on you hair when it is wet,,it will hate you for it then break off in revenge. Put your your sections use a big tooth comb, to untangle it

3. Do a hot oil treatment atleast once a month with extra virgin olive oil...repeat..EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil..not the regular stuff. unfortunately i have yet to take this step however my hair is doing great.

4. Okay on the daily basis you need to pay close attention to your hair...i recommend conditioning your scalp(3-4 times a week) and your ends(everyday) so that they will not get dry and unhealthy Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction ( in other words do not use grease) it does so much harm to your hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural oils

jojoba oi, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, emu oil, coconut oil...all these natural oils and more love you..i promise.

I also use Aveda's Brilliant ( the name of the brand) emollient for my ends.

5. Next,,if you want your hair straight but still be natural it is time to get a freakin good flat iron.,i have the Chi..it does the job but I recommend getting the Sedu because of the good reviews. make sure to protect your hair..i have so thermal protector from Aveda.

6. If you have a relaxer ( i have heard that Mizani and Affirm are the best relaxers) don't continue to relaxer all your hair everytime you go to the salon..just the new growth and try to stretch relaxers as long as possible.

7. You do not need to trim your hair everytime you go to the salon maybe every 3 to 6 months.

8. Wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf to prevent damage before you go to bed.

9. Eat healthy, drink lots of water,

10 take multivitamins, and fish oil pills you can get from GNC.

Follow these steps and life will be good..the best part about flat iron (which i do once a week or every two weeks not everday since it will kill your hair) is that it is not stringy but thick and healthy, yet straight and light enough to blow in the wind.
