Hair Specialist and Author Guides Afro Americans to Grow Longer Hair

Online, June 22, 2011 (Newswire.com) - If hair specialist, author and speaker Julie Oli is to be believed, it's no longer difficult to grow afro hair long. African American women, who believe that they cannot have long and luscious hair, couldn't be farther from the truth. All it needs is a little care and attention. Hair specialist Julie Oli lists out the many ways through which women can grow their hair.

"Irrespective of your race, your hair is said to grow an average of ½ inch per month. But it's important that you take proper care of your hair. Afro hair is among those that need to be continuously nurtured and cared for continuously. I understand that we've picked most of our habits from our mothers and grandmothers. Unfortunately, too many of these are incorrect and are detrimental to the growth of our hair," says Julie.

"Simple techniques like washing your hair regularly, carrying out regular treatments, not greasing your scalp, trimming your hair once or twice a year, limiting the usage of a blow dryer to once a month, flat ironing the hair once every two months, and moisturizing the hair twice a day helps the hair to grow long and strong. Harsh techniques and procedures can dry your hair and make the brittle. Even when you moisturize your hair, try and avoid mineral oil and petroleum based products that dry the hair, adds Julie.

In addition to these supplements like Biotin and Zinc help to grow hair fast and long. Besides these you can also try other ethnic hair vitamins to supplement hair growth. Drinking lots of water and massaging the scalp also helps to stimulate and create blood flow and circulation to the scalp and activate dead hair follicles.

The hair specialist who has long and healthy hair herself has counseled several Afro American women on the necessary steps and the right procedure that can aid hair growth. She has also written a book where she shares her hair growth story and proven tips and techniques that can be easily duplicated by anyone.
