Traditional African Secrets For Long And Healthy Hair

“Good hair is defined by hair health not by hair texture”. African hair, whether it is coils or braids, it shows pride in the roots. It is healthy, versatile, and shows confidence. On average, hair grows about half an inch a month. This figure can vary depending upon hair health, habits, and genetics. So, it can be said that your hair is always growing even though it is not much noticeable.

There is no magical way of growing hair inches overnight in African history. But still, there are natural African products that can help you promote hair growth. Witness significant hair growth through scalp massages using pure and organic products. You can also use certain natural oils exclusive to Africa. The ingredients found in organic products and natural oils contain stimulating extracts. These extracts create a strong foundation for strands to build. They prevent breakage & keep the length.
