How To Grow Nigerian Hair Long (Get In Here)
-
Posted by Mr Ejump on February 21, 2016,
A lot of people don’t think Nigerian hair can grow long and soft unless they are mixed or their hair is relaxed…that isn’t true.
Nigerians can have soft and long hair too whether relaxed or natural.
The problem is that we don’t really know how to care for our hair type.
The Indians know how to care for their coarse straight hair (coarse being that their hair strands are thick …people confuse coarse with ‘the feel of the hair’ not the strand thickness…your hair can be coarse and feel soft).
The Brazilians, the Chinese, the Caucasians all know how to care for their hair type but unfortunately many Africans don’t know how to care for their hair.
They’ll use products and methods suited for the hairtypes of other races ….and when their hair revolts by being hard, dry, break and such….they blame the hair….not the products or methods!
The key to growing soft, long Nigerian hair is this “NOURISH THE SCALP, STRENGTHEN THE HAIR”.
Avoid products and methods that clog or dry out the scalp.
Avoid products and methods that damage the hair strands.
Most Nigerians have hair (in it’s natural state) that is
-very coily
-fine stranded
-porous
which make it prone to dryness (reason for the hard to touch) and breakage (reason we don’t have long hair).
Even if your hair is relaxed, it can’t change the fact that our strands are much thinner and flatter than the straight hair of other races and the chemicals make our hair even more fragile.
Here are simple tips to grow Nigerian hair long and soft.
1.Nourish the scalp
-Natural oils and butters contains nutrients that nourish the scalp.
The scalp is the soil from which hair grows.
-Scalp massages with oils know to stimulate hair growth is beneficial not only to growing hair but also to growing stronger, healthier hair that can withstand styling and be less prone to breakage (which is the reason why one is stuck with one length forever!!!!)..
– Washing the scalp with harsh products dry it out leading to scalp problems and poor hair growth. So use good quality products.
The Indians know it. The Brazilians know it!
2. Strengthen and protect the hair:
– The hair that grows out of your scalp is relatively is not living tissue.Healthy, soft hair starts from the scalp.
– Because our hair is super coily, the natural oils on our scalp cannot flow down to the ends of our hair. (same thing even when you’re relaxed. You can’t get all the kinks out without damaging the hair).
So a light coating of natural oil daily helps lubricate and protect the strands and retain moisture.
– Speaking of moisture, dryness is the reason our hair feels hard to touch and the reason it breaks.
It’s important to use hair products that draw moisture to the cortex of the hair strands keeping it supple, flexible, soft and less prone to breakage. (meaning more visible growth).
– Also don’t rip through tangles with a comb (never use those blue rat tailed comb!)
Use a wide tooth comb and detangle from bottom to top as carefully as you would detangled your treasured Brazilian/Peruvian/Indian weave.
– If you’re relaxed, make sure your hair is completely dry and oiled (I love coconut oil) before detangling. If you’re natural, damp or wet detangling with slippery conditioner will save your length.
Here’s a picture of my hair using the right methods and products for my Afro textured hair and I hope to grow it even longer!

I am Nigerian i want to start growing my hair and i am very hairy.But i want to grow my hair supper long and fast but don’t know how pls help me, i am 15 years of age. Thanks
You are very hairy, that’s a good sign that you’ll have long and fast growing hairs in the nearest future.
So, I’ll advice you to always keep your hair clean and dry, don’t apply any supplement and don’t take any drugs to boost your hair growth as its side effects will be drastic.
So, my advice to you is this, aways keep your hair clean, dry, and use normal hair cream to moisture it. Allow nature play its own part.
Thank you!!

Iuse water on my hair most of the times since d hair aseans dry easily on my hair .is it right?
Prisca, if you meant, your hair dries faster after applying water. Yes it is normal, especially during this season of hamattan.
During this season of hamattan, make sure you dry, and apply oily cream on your hair immediately after washing, also moisture your scalp.
Thank you!!
Wow,ur hair is beautiful,well my hair has refused to grow again since three years ago nd my back hair has become very short and i really want to know why
I read that rapeseed oil, eggs & coconut oil grows the hair (though the type of hair was not specified). To be frank, i am so hairy and my hair is just at the end of neck & i want it to grow so long, i use relaxers but i don’t find it working just right. So should i use the combination of rapeseed oil & egg. After a while i’ll wash the combination out and apply coconut oil or is there any other way? Since i’m only 13 years.
My hair is somehow ! Its uneven (meaning its long in front but short at the back). I don’t use any other relaxer except Relax but in otherwords someone in my family cut her hair from JSS1-SS3 and in year 1 her hair grew as long as anything though long hair runs in my family . Please help me out am just 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
