  • I went through a long period in which my hair either did not grow well
    or was not retaining length.  Stretching my hair got my over the hump. 
    My stylist and I would stretch with heat.  Either I got it flat ironed
    once a month or stretched out with a blow dryer only.  I would also wear
    twist on blown out hair (never wet twist and stay away from mini
    twist).  After the first month, I noticed that I had gotten a half inch
    and I haven't had too many more problems since.  I believe that
    stretching does work for some people when it comes to growth or
    retaining length.  I do not wash my hair every wee anymore because that
    is too much manipulation for it.  I use a lot Indian or Ayurvedic
    products and products that are pH balanced (pH balanced scalp meas no
    dandruff, less itching, and more growth). I moisturize almost every day
    because my hair can get really dry, really fast.  I really do think that
    I'm a year behind where my hair growth should be but you got to keep
    trying...God Bless and HHG!
