Does keeping your hair done so you do not have to comb or fix it grow it or damage it?

I have black (ethnic) hair nad i am trying to grow it back out after cutting it short. I m trying to find the best and fasted way for that to happen. Someone told me getting braids, knots, and twists so that I do not have to do it and keeping the styles for weeks at a time would grow it. Is this true?

Ethnic hair has a different type of hair shaft. Keeping your hair in braids or knots is not harmful to the hair however it is very important to stimulate your scalp during the regrowth process. This is what stimulates the blood supply so my suggestion is this; do a scalp therapy treatment twice daily.

When you wake up and before you go to bed. Just gently massage the scalp about 5 minutes if you can all over feeling all areas of the scalp so you get the blood circulating perfectly. But no it does not harm your hair.

you can do what you want with it and it will grow.. my biggest pee off is women who use the same bloody elastics bands you buy in bulk for everything but hair..they will damage the hair... use elastics for hair and you wont have problems...if you want to grow it out as i am after a short cut...... just let it flow and find a style that is right for the lenght and if need be use sunglasses for a headband works great looks cool...

Damage it !!! If it is braids you are talking about then you are also trying to get bald spots.

I say it wont damage it. U just have to keep it greased. I suggest not getting zillions -- especially if ur hair is kinda weak. I say this because I had them atleast 2 or 3 times and they seemed to break off my hair more than anything. Those little bitty braids just hang on ur hair for dear life and sometimes just break off. So I think if u are considering gettin braids get something like kinky twist -- u know the newer ones. And get like the medium size. Not the smallest and not the biggest (they're just ugly anyways). It worked for me.

I have black hair (ethnic) and I've found that the more I leave my hair alone, the more it grows. Last summer I had to get several inches cut off my shoulder length hair-due to excessive use of a blow dryer and curling iron. I got a weave sewn in and kept it for six weeks, I had it taken out and done again and kept it for four weeks. Between weaves I relaxed my hair and gave it a rest for a little more than a week. At the end of the summer, I took out the weave, had my ends trimmed, relaxed it and the growth was very noticeable.

If you go this route, keep your scalp clean and dry your hair thoroughly after washing to prevent mildew (within the weave).

Good luck!
