3. Washing Your Hair More Often
Some black women believe that washing their hair more frequently will help their hair to grow much longer. Looser and wavier hair types tend to be able to grow their hair faster than kinkier hair types. The reasoning behind why their hair may be able to grow faster is that they wash it more often than kinkier hair types. The theory is that when you wash your hair more often, there is more root stimulation and more moisture provided to your hair strands. This will then result in faster hair growth and more length retention. Many black women are now washing their hair once a week instead of every two weeks.
