Length Retention - 4c Hair

Moisture:
  • Yes, you will get a lot of reversion but if your hair is short and you are trying to grow it out. 
  • I feel that's a small price to pay. 
  • For the health of your hair it needs moisture. 
  • Avoid products that lock moisture out and products that strip it. 
  • Our hair is different so each person will have a different reaction to products so find those that work for you.
  • Water, water, water!

Patience:
  • Do not handle it roughly. 
  • When unbraiding or detangling please take your time otherwise you will be breaking off your hair and you will wonder why its not growing. 
  • It will be growing but it you break off the hair you wont see any progress.

Slippage:
  • When braiding or unbraiding your hair needs something to lubricate it.
  • Lubrication to unbraid to avoid excess tangling and breaking.
  • Lubrication to braid. 
  • Spray with water or oil it. Moist hair seems to fare better at being combed and tugged whilst braiding.

Condition:
  • Condition your hair.
  • Home made or store bought conditioners.
