Having hair 'Afro' is a real beauty asset. However, due to the specificity of the frizzy hair, one is subjected to more constraints to maintain their beauty with great reinforcement of regular care. Result? Poorly maintained due to lack of time, our hair is dry, damaged, brittle ... In these conditions difficult to wear the glamorous beard of Beyoncé.

Good habits to stimulate growth
This is the case for all types of hair: our beauty routine but also our diet have an impact on our hair. To have hair at the top, it is better to adopt a balanced diet in addition to specific and targeted care. After these recommendations, 2 simple and effective gestures must be adopted if we want to promote growth:
- Moisturize . The specificity of afro hair? Their dry side is brittle. The remedy is obviously hydration ... as much by means of typical care sprays and sprays as by the drink. Reminder: to be well hydrated it is necessary to drink AT LEAST 1.5 L of water per day.
- Cut . Hair grows when they are healthy. It is useless to be reluctant to cut its spikes to keep the 2 precious centimeters of additional length that they offer us. On the contrary, by removing this damaged part of the hair, only the healthy part of the hair fiber is preserved ... and the hair grows better from this base in full health.
Why do Afro hair grow slower? This is the question we all ask while admiring the silky hair of our girlfriends Caucasian or Asian. And yet, their hair does not necessarily grow faster. If they seem longer, it is mainly because ours are curled and as they curl naturally on themselves, it is difficult to realize that they are gaining in length. The other reason? It is the difficult progression of the sebum in our dense mop. Naturally produced by the hair, sebum helps to hydrate the hair fiber. But in the case of curly hair, the sebum has difficulty ascending from the scalp to the tip. Result? The hair is less well hydrated, drier and brittle.
