What is the safest thing I can do to my hair while I am growing it out? Currently I wear wigs when I

leave the house. When I am home I pull my hair back into a ponytail. I am concerned because I have heard that wigs can break your hair. I wash my hair 2 xs a week. Trim 6-8 weeks. I use a masque twice a month. I tried the olive oil in my hair today... great results... not sure if that will promote hair growth or not. I also use wrapping lotion in my hair after washing, I put the wrap lotion in my hair and pull it back into a pigtail.

I would appreciate your answers.

My b/f would like for me to get braids or a full head weave but I am concerned it may break my hair which is already past my shoulders.

Pulling your hair back in a ponytail on a constant basis is a good way to make it break off. If you must put your hair up, try one of those fashion nets (I can't remember what they're called, sorry). Better for your hair than a ponytail.

Sounds like you're already doing everything else right as far as keeping it healthy is concerned, though. I wouldn't get a weave as it can be extremely damaging if not done properly, but the braids shouldn't be a problem, as long as they're not too tight at the scalp and you keep using the lotion on them so the hair in the braids doesn't get weak.

Good luck!

wigs can't break you hair ...actually it's one of the safest things you can do to protect your hair....heat is what makes your hair break and fall off so the less you use the better.

it sounds like we pretty much have the same routine and my hair is growing like crazy....i say keep doing what you are doing and i would also take a hair vitamin..www.exoticallure.com these vitamins really do work for me.....i not really sure about the braids and the hair weave (because i want both too) but i would guess that the braids would cause alot of tension on your temples so be careful

why do you wear a wig if your hair is past your shoulders? i can understand if you had a shaved head but im sure it looks ok right?

just keep up with the healthy hair routine, but im not quite sure what it is you're waiting for? braids will break your hair...

The best thing for you to do while you are growing your hair out is to wear protective styles like braids,twists,or cornrows.Putting your hair into a ponytail can be damaging your hair.Using olive oil in your hair is great.Try covering your hair completely with olive oil and then cover it with a shower cap.Then wash your hair with a conditioner instead of a shampoo.This locks in moisture with the hair.You will get a lot of shine doing this.Also try using unrefined shea butter.Dont use grease.That clogs up your pores and prevents hair growth.Join a yahoo group to help you out more.Look up natural black hair care and see what you get.Hope this helps!!
