do you have any tips for growing out hair? i have 4c hair and just went natural (about 6 months ago) but my hair is still very short and i just want is to grow out a bit more

Good question. Well, everyone's hair is different, but I have like 4A/4B type hair and I'm natural , so here are some things that I do:

I detox my scalp once a week, use filtered water to cleanse, and steam for added hydration

I only use natural/organic products by Black women-owned hair care brands. My favorite are Anita Grant and Alodia Hair Care

I use organic castor oil on my scalp and massage it in before I condition for extra growth

I sleep with a satin scarf/bonnet at night

I get regular trims

I try not to over style or put too much heat on my hair. I wear a lot protective styles like wash n go's and braids

I make sure to get enough vitamins like Zinc, Iron, Vitamin A & D

MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE

I also go to see a natural hair pro twice a month

Also, I try not to stress because it can wreak havoc on your hair

DWC - August - Day 7 - Victory

"He's been down there a long time," murmured one of the miners as the pack of workers stared at the cave with worried glances. They shouldn't be this frightened but after so many years of torment by the Coven, Hexsworn, demons, and Tides knew what else had climbed out the gloom they had every right to be. Things in the night rarely didn't bump.

Foreman Strohnev crossed is arms and shook his head at the miner's whine, a loud 'hrmph' coming out from under his thick walrus mustache. "We jus gotta give em time."

For weeks things had been going well at the silver mine. Resources plentiful, work steady, and morale high as the profits that lined their pockets. The New Lion Mining Corporation was on it's way to becoming one of the most successful business ventures of this new Drustvar. A small work town had begun to spring up nearby in hopes of perhaps beginning an actual settlement as money was pumped back into the community.

Then the wailing had begun.

Most had hoped it would be some kind of soft cooing in the depths of the mine, something that would cause the willies and startled heads to rise thinking something was over their shoulder. This voice would have none of that. As a pick had struck rock, it came sharp and clear as a meal time whistle exploding through the carved tunnels to reverberate against stone and into flesh. High above in the upper corridors of the mine, men and women had cast aside tools to clutch at their ears in shock as they looked for the source. All eyes had traveled to the elevators further into the depths, whispers of those who might remain below.

None had come back up.

A search party was sent to investigate, the supervisor a hardy dwarf who had been down in the dark for years in the old country hills of Ironforge and Dun Morgh. Troggs, trolls, and beasts had plagued his life since he was a young beardling. He could handle a wail in a cave with a few other muscles to help him out.

The New Lion Mining Co was now short 12 men and had put up a posting for a new supervisor.

They hadn't had an interview yet.

Since the initial wail and disappearances, no one had dared to go down into the mine and memorials had already been scheduled along with letters of condolences to the families of those lost. Sad letters and pocket watches did not fill bellies or pay for supplies though, and word was sent east for aid from House Waycrest. Perhaps the guard would come or maybe a wizard to blast out the mine for the growing tragedy of New Lion as it was being whispered about. Foul moods, broken hearts, and no profits were stunting the fragile growth of this new colony.

The inquisitor arrived on a Tuesday afternoon upon an old black horse with a matching silent crow astride his shoulder.

He was an older man, his hair thin and gray to match the shabby beard he wore but his eyes spoke of a steel that ran deep and true despite the feet at the corners of them. With a crooked nose, chapped lips, and a voice to make men grimace as hard as him he had come to the office of the foreman. Broken leathers, tattered tabard, and an eclectic assortment of Tides knew what clinked among his carried belongings. The Order of Embers was always in dire straights with finances, but in service of Drustvar and House Waycrest there were none better to handle this sort of thing.

This inquisitor said his name was Eldridge. Eldridge Candell.

On Wednesday morning, the inquisitor had tied off his old horse and gathered his assortment of oddities to make his way into the mouth of the mine. He hadn't said anything to anyone, only asking for extra oil and a couple of lanterns to match some rough travel rations. With an old axe strapped to his belt to match an even older bayonet, Candell had swung a pack over his back and entered the mouth of terror.

The crow had planted itself in silent watch as the inquisitor disappeared.

Wednesday came and went.

Thursday passed without a sound.

Friday the miners began to murmur.

Saturday they gathered a watch.

Sunday broke with burning red sunlight and night fell with a spring storm.

Monday came with talk of what to do with the horse.

Tuesday was gone with the wind.

A week had gone by. No work. No news. No sound. No money.

No hope.

The crow sat silent in it's vigil. Was it waiting for the inquisitor's return? Or was it guarding the mine from the miners going in?

Or from what might come out?

Strohnev rubbed his mustache as he ordered the workers to get back to work. What work they would do, he didn't know but he wasn't getting anything for his coin having them worry and fret staring at a hole in the ground. He was not looking forward to writing to the Stand about needing another inquisitor or for them to at least come pick up the remaining effects of the missing man. Another man dead for this, what the hell was he gonna tell the authorities?

The crow let out a sharp croak, that made the foreman nearly jump out of his skin as he looked back to the mine entrance.

"Tides preserve," came a whisper that Strohnev was more shocked came from him as he stared at Inquisitor Candell.

The man leaned wearily against the frame of the door, his face grim and coated in thick layer of coal dust as his grimace caused the wrinkles to crack white lines across him. His pack was missing, his tabard was black and indiscernible of the colors of the Order. His knife was in his belt and a broken lantern hung loosely from the same. The man looked like hell had given him a proper chewing and spitting like he was the bitterest chew.

The foreman strode forward as the other miners spotted him and began to call out at the return of their 'savior'. A sick wet thud stopped him in his tracks as a stained leather sack flopped into the loose gravel.

A few tentative steps forward brought him to the sack as he leaned down to gently peer into the rank leather bag. The torturous withered face of an eyeless woman stared back at him, her face pockmarked with holes like a termite ridden floorboard. Her tongue languished out of her mouth, stained with black much as the stump that might have been her neck.

Foreman Strohnev shuddered as he quickly covered the bag back up and looked up to find the inquisitor standing over him looking grim. The older man grimly reached up to his shoulder and growled as he plucked something from his neck, a soft high squeal much like a piglet. It was insanely unpleasant as he felt his hands come to his ears, holding them tight as he looked in the inquisitors hand.

Squirming in his gloved hand was the oddest bug he'd maybe seen in his life. Bulbous red eyes, black body, orange legs with crystalline orange wings to match. It buzzed and flitted a bit in his hands as it struggled to right itself in his palm, the flecks of the old man's blood still shining on it's pincer mouth as it continued to wail.

It didn't last long as Candell closed his hand around it and squeezed hard enough to shake with as much violence as it took to snuff out the insects life.

Strohnev gaped at his hand and looked up into the inquisitor's face as he finally spoke with a dry cough and hoarse growl.

"Get back to work."

Hiii ♡♡ u should make a hair FAQ or like a hair routine masterpost

r u a psychic anon T-T bc as I got this ask I was already typing out a hair masterpost…. I‘ve been getting a lot of asks abt hair lately but all of the info has been very scattered so here it is :] ⊹ ࣪ ˖ the hair masterpost ⊹ ࣪ ˖ I will preface this by saying it’s important to do research on what will work for your own hair type! I am still working on it >.< but this is just what I currently do for my fairly fine, naturally wavy hair. I hope this helps ^-^

ᴾʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵗˢ :

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Walgreens brand therapeutic shampoo

⊹ ࣪ ˖ L’Oréal EverPure moisture conditioner (always looking 4 a better conditioner :/ )

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Infusium original leave in conditioner

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Beyond the zone heat protectant

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Jojoba oil (optional : add a couple drops of rosemary oil)

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Tangle teezer ultimate detangling brush

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Silk scrunchies + claw clips

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Silk pillowcase

ᴿᵒᵘᵗᶦⁿᵉˢ :

I wash my hair about every 3 days n I frequently give myself scalp massages, especially during shampooing. I focus the shampoo on my roots, then conditioner on my ends and leave it on for at least 10 minutes. I use a large cotton t-shirt instead of a towel to squeeze out my hair because it’s much more gentle. Leave in conditioner + heat protectant and then blow dry on low heat.

I do my best to do my oil treatments every other time I wash my hair but I’m not perfect abt it >. .< .. there are tons of YouTube videos that will do a better job of explaining than I will but basically. focus the oil into your roots and massage.. work it through your hair and ends.. avoid using 2 much oil. I usually leave it on for like an hour or longer. When you wash it out you will probably want to shampoo twice ♡ other times if my hair feels dry I will rub 2 drops of oil in my hands and distribute it through my ends.

I probably don’t trim it as much as I should, n I don’t really have any time routine for this. I do it myself and just take an inch or so off the ends.. it’s also important 2 use hair cutting scissors! I use antique hair cutting scissors tht cut womens’ hair in my family for generations.. not required obviously lol but I think little magics are important.

ᴼᵗʰᵉʳ ᵗᶦᵖˢ :

⊹ ࣪ ˖ To avoid damage, twist your hair up into a loose bun or claw clip while you sleep (see silk pillow case + scrunchies)

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Be gentle w ur hair! I treat it like my little creature.. take ur time w detangling, avoid harsh heat tools, try protective styles, try hair masks, learn about your hair type..

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Hair health not only starts from the scalp n roots but from ur insides.. greens n lentils n fats r good for hair growth. there r also vitamins that are known to improve hair growth but none of it will work much if u r not taking care of urself (u_u)/)♡

ᴴᵃᶦʳ⁻ᵈʸᵉ :

I am occasionally asked about my hair dye so I will include this little bonus section! The hairdye I use is L’Oréal Hicolor black onyx H21 with volume 10 developer. It’s permanent so I only touch up my roots every month or so.

[pisboy]

as a fellow alopecia haver would you mind if i asked a few questions about how you cope with it? like, do you wear hats or wigs or do clever hairstyles to hide it or do you just let it show? ive tried pills and scalp shots and nothing is reversing mine. im only 26 and i feel like this is the worst thing to ever happen to me and i dont know what to do about it. nobody even thinks balding women exist. nobody considers how it is to actually be one. im so scared no one will ever like me or find me cute again. i used to think i was so cute. this sucks so bad.

For me the back of my head around the nape and up to nearly the top of my scalp has never grown hair, not even when I was born. My father also has alopecia areata and he has a few golfball-to-coin sized patches he loses and regrows at a random basis. So I've had my entire life to contend with hair loss and family that was familiar with it, so I sympathize so incredibly hard to women who develop it later in life. It is probably mortifying.

So yeah, shots and pills and balms and oils and etc have never worked for me. I also lose hair at random basis around the rest of my scalp, mainly around the margins of my crown (losing my bangs) and the sides of the back where I already do not grow hair. I also lose half my left eyebrow on a regular basis. If you go far back enough in my #me tag I've posted what it looks like. I also preface some of my advice might not be helpful if you have afro-textured hair, but I will recommend someone who will be extremely helpful in that respect.

Also I hope you don't mind me doing a shotgun blast of advice but maybe my experience will help someone

Things that worked for me:

I've always been flipping my part as my hair cycles in a growth/loss state for my bangs. Low pony tails tend to hold better than high ones in what is essentially a clever combover. Uhhh and always keep a hair tie around in case there is wind lol I always get self conscious when there's a breeze.

This is kind of vague and probably shitty advice but I've noticed over the years I lose hair when I am stressed, so I've had to make the call (in addition to other factors) to quit jobs that really strain me and I've noticed improvement in hair growth. So depending on your circumstances I say make some effort to reduce your other stress factors while you go through figuring it out. This shit is literally traumatizing.

This thing here is basically a pepper shaker for keratin bits that can color-fill in patches of missing (or really tiny short baby) hair. I can only speak as a brunette but it works pretty damn good as some camouflage for your skin poking out where you can't cover it. Do note it kind of has an ashy texture so it's something to wash out at night like makeup. Scalp makeup lol.

Hats are good. I wore trucker hats for most of my teen years, but I don't wear them much anymore, especially being out of the stress of school. However - a piece of advice from a mentor of mine, Jamie Elmore, is to call hats, bands, scarves, wigs, anything under an umbrella term "accessory." It's kind of corny but sometimes conceptualizing these things that way helps coping with the impulse of a world that demands you hide your hair loss and another where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgement. Anyway, I recommend looking her up, she has a magazine and works hard for the alopecia community, particularly for black alopecians.

Oh yeah if you can find those hippy chick silk hair bands that have the elastic around the back, I love those. Regular bandanas are also good.

Uhhh shorter hair also tends to weigh and pull less, which I think everyone has varying sensitivity to, but to anyone considering a bob, why not might help lol. I also lose my hair in the largest amounts in the shower, so like, if you develop a weird complex about showering I know allllllll about it.

I have tried partial wigs, which are custom cut out and adhered to your head, and it's nice if you want to do hairstyles you otherwise could not, but it's high maintenance, very itchy, and gets gummy after about a week.

But yeah it's been a very slow and steady process to get used to going out in public without putting effort in camouflaging my alopecia, and that mostly has to do with tuning people out. The existential stuff gets personal so I save those conversations for a 1-to-1. *Holds you by the shoulder* we are all coping out here.

I look at that sword of Damocles hanging over my head and if my scalp gets wiped out beyond all sidepart repair, I'll go full wig-wearing. I once had a hair stylist who was giddy at the idea of shaving my head when I explained it to her, which was comforting in a silly way.

Anyway, it's been years since I've dipped my toes into the greater Alopecia Community, the ones with all the acronyms, but there are NAAF chapter groups that you can meet and hopefully find people to connect with. I think you need to join an email group though. Anyway. For the longest time the only people I knew with it was just my dad and a cousin who had it for 1 year and never again and seeing a group of people with patchy/full baldness in person for the first time made me cry.

To end on a good note, there have been trials for JAK inhibitors (a treatment for many autoimmune disorders) having really breakthrough success rates at hair regrowth, but I haven't looked into it lately. Seems very promising. A lot better than cortisone shots in the scalp I figure, maybe worth the pain lmao

EDIT: i misremembered it being lupus medication, but it was actually Janus kinase inhibitor trials with success.

[pumpumdemsugah]

As much as it's true that culturally, we need to work on the obsession with hair length and while it's not everybody, I find Black women that are really aggressive about Black hair not being able to get long, more often than not really struggle to care for their hair and don't seem to know how to deal with the hair version of cutting yourself and needing a plaster. We should be able to deal with minor shit happening to our hair without intervention or deciding our hair is defective.

The type of reactions I get from other Black women when it's obvious exactly how long my hair is and they ask what I do and it's obvious, I have a simple routine I've been doing for years and I don't use growth oils or pay attention to hair trends ( so basically there's magic product ) immediately these women give up in front of me. All I said was to moisturise your hair a few times a week, don't comb your hair daily and be gentle. How you go about that is up to you

Yes we should deal with the long hair obsession but I feel like most Black people know who to style our hair really well, but not care for it and confuse well styled or neat hair for well cared for hair. There are many neat heads with traction alopecia

Claudie's Travel Accessories

Tin for Madam C.J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower, 1910s-1920s, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture

Madam C.J. Walker was one of many Black female self-made millionaires, though she is often described as the first. Another woman who shares the contested title of first Black female self-made millionaire was Annie Malone, who accused Walker of stealing her formula for a hair growth product in the early 1900s.

Before the manufacturing of commercial products, African Americans were forced to rely on ingredients which were inferior substitutions for the palm oil and herbal ingredients that had been used by their ancestors in Africa. These ingredients, which included axle grease, lye, butter, and kerosene caused hair and skin damage, and often led to hair loss.

Regardless of who first invented the formula, the impact that these hair products had on the lives of Black women was massive. Not only did the products improve the health of their hair, but the companies provided thousands of jobs as saleswomen and beauticians, and Walker had a program which taught financial literacy.

Additionally, both Malone and Walker used their millions to support charitable institutions which served African Americans.

By the time Claudie's story is set, Madam C.J. Walker had died, and her daughter A'Lelia was managing the business. If you're interested in another American Girl book with a brief appearance by A'Lelia Walker, I recommend Mystery of the Dark Tower by Evelyn Coleman.

(Please note that I am aware that Madam C.J. Walker was a name she adopted later in life and her birth name was Sarah Breedlove. For clarity's sake, I have chosen to refer to her by this later name.)

Near the Southern tips of 🇦🇴 Angola, reside the Mbalantu tribes of 🇳🇦 Namibia. Mbalantu women are known for their headdresses. At the age of twelve, young girls in Mbalantu tribes begin preparing their hair.

Girls are made to, first of all, coat their hair in a thick paste made from finely ground tree bark of the omutyuula tree mixed with fat.

The young girls will live with this thick mixture on their scalp for years before it is subsequently loosened to make the hair visible. Fruit pips of the bird plum are then attached to the ends of the hair with sinew strings.

At the age of 16, long sinew strands that reach the ground are attached to the hair of these girls.

They also go through the Ohango Initiation (a ceremony that gets them accepted as women) in the same year but before this, the hair of the girls is styled into four long, thick braids, known as eembuvi. Now seen as women, their hair goes through another change. A new layer of the tree bark and oil mixture is applied to the hair to ensure further growth.

The long plaits are subsequently arranged into a headdress, which is to show that a woman was married.

Historical records indicate that this headdress was so heavy to the extent that the “upper ends were often attached to a piece of rope or skin, which was fastened around the forehead in order to distribute the load more evenly.”

A woman had to wear this style for several years after marriage but should change it to mirror a new status, such as the birth of a child.

These unique Eembuvi braids re-emerged in the 90’s as Box Braids and have since become an inspiration for many people across the world, even though they are not as long and thick as the Mbalantus.

Shuri's look in Black Panther was inspired by the Mbalantu hairstyle.

Unpopular Natural Hair Opinions: ⚡️Lightening round⚡️

Cleansers: none of these things have proper cleansing properties that can efficiently cleanse the hair & replenish moisture, which is what the hair needs

Porosity: in regards to everyday hair care, porosity does not play an important role. It is important to a stylist with a client with chemically treated hair however, & even then, it’s not as important.

Curl pattern: the looseness or tightness of your curls play no role is how much, how strong, or what kind of products you use. It is simply a chart that categorizes the kind of curls you have

Product marketing: products geared towards things such as curl pattern or porosity are scams due to the fact that buzzwords like these don’t play an important role in hair care & is having you waste unnecessary money

Leave in: if lasting definition is your goal, leave in is not ideal bc it doesn’t have adequate hold

Grease & oil: growth starts from within & no product on the shelves promotes growth, these products aid in blocking out moisture, making them horrible sealants, & moisture doesn’t come from products

Dirty hair: the cleanliness or lack there of doesn’t promote growth. Hair is always growing, regardless of what you do or don’t do to it

Weekly washing: hair & scalp cleanliness doesn’t change bc of race

Anti blackness: the idea that someone having short hair is due to them not being able to grow their hair stems from negative stereotypes about black women

Dr. Bronner’s: the ph is too high (8-9)for hair (4.5-5), also it’s floor cleaner

Natural Hair Care for Black Hair: Tips for Healthy Growth

Maintaining the health and beauty of Black hair requires a unique approach to hair care. The texture, curl pattern, and fragility of Black hair make it prone to dryness, breakage, and damage if not cared for properly. Whether you're rocking an afro, braids, twists, or straightened hair, natural hair care for Black hair is essential for promoting healthy growth, moisture retention, and strength. Here’s a guide to help you maintain your natural hair with ease and confidence.

Understanding Black Hair

Black hair typically has a curly or coily texture, often categorized into Type 3 (curly) or Type 4 (coily or kinky) hair types. This texture creates challenges when it comes to retaining moisture because the natural oils produced by the scalp take longer to travel down the hair shaft. As a result, Black hair can become dry, brittle, and more prone to breakage if it's not properly moisturized and protected.

Moisturizing Is Key

One of the most important steps in natural hair care for Black hair is moisture. Keeping your hair hydrated helps reduce breakage and maintain elasticity. Here are some ways to keep your hair moisturized:

Deep Conditioning: Regular deep conditioning treatments, at least once a week, will replenish moisture in your hair. Look for products with ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and glycerin, which are excellent for hydration.

Leave-In Conditioners: A good leave-in conditioner helps lock in moisture throughout the day. Use a water-based leave-in product to keep your curls hydrated without weighing them down.

Sealing Moisture: After applying a leave-in conditioner, seal in the moisture with a natural oil such as olive oil, jojoba oil, or argan oil. These oils help trap moisture and add shine.

Gentle Detangling

Due to its curly or coily nature, Black hair is more prone to tangling. Detangling should be done with care to avoid unnecessary breakage. Here are some tips for gentle detangling:

Use a Wide-Tooth Comb: Start detangling from the ends of your hair and work your way up to the roots, using a wide-tooth comb. Avoid combing through dry hair, as this can lead to breakage. Instead, detangle your hair when it's damp and conditioned.

Finger Detangling: For a more delicate approach, try finger detangling. This technique allows you to feel any knots and gently work through them, reducing the risk of damage.

Protective Styling

Protective styles help minimize manipulation and keep your hair safe from external factors like harsh weather, friction, and heat. Some popular protective styles for Black hair include braids, twists, buns, and wigs. Here’s how to maximize their benefits:

Rotate Styles: Avoid keeping one protective style in for too long. Ideally, switch styles every four to six weeks to give your hair a break and prevent buildup at the roots.

Moisturize While in Styles: Even when your hair is in a protective style, continue moisturizing your scalp and hair. A light oil spray or water-based mist can keep your hair hydrated.

Avoid Tension: Make sure your protective styles aren’t too tight, as excessive tension can lead to hair loss, especially around the edges.

Minimizing Heat Damage

Heat styling tools such as flat irons and blow dryers can lead to significant damage if used frequently. If you need to use heat, take precautions:

Use a Heat Protectant: Always apply a heat protectant before using any heated styling tools. This helps reduce the amount of damage caused by high temperatures.

Limit Heat Use: Try to limit heat styling to once a month or on special occasions. Embrace your Natural hair care for women and experiment with heatless styling methods like twist-outs or braid-outs for texture without damage.
