I'm half black and half white and I have really curly, ethnic hair. I get relaxers once every couple months, and I usually straighten my hair with a flat iron, so the ends of my hair break off a lot. I usually wrap my hair at night, and I use a lot of products to shield heat before I use my flat iron, but it keeps breaking off anyways! What can I do to keep it from breaking off and help it grow out faster?How to make my hair grow quicker?
Hmmm... I'm white, so I don't know a LOT about ethnic hair, but have you ever thought about chemically relaxing it? In the long run, it saves your hair a lot of damage from the day to day styling of a flat iron.
Secondly, there's not really a proven way to make your hair grow out faster.
I've used a supplement called Biotin in the past, and it personally made my hair seem to grow out longer and quicker, but as for anyone else, I'm not entirely sure. It can't hurt to take it, as it's just a bunch of proteins that are good for your hair when it's growing. It's found in prenatal vitamins, so it's not this weird, foreign substance going into your body.
You can pick up a bottle at walmart or something in the supplement aisle for just a few bucks. :]How to make my hair grow quicker?
Take vitamins like biotin and b vitamins.
Deep condition your hair 2 times-1 time a week
Your hair needs protein so you should deep condition your hair twice or once a month with organic root stimulator hair mayonnaise or vitale hair mayonnaise then deep condition with a moisturizing conditioner or else your hair would be hard from the protein
Eat healthy foods like fruits and vegetables.
Drink A LOT of water.
Exercise to stimulate hair growth.
Oil your scalp with castor oil + sweet almond oil or coconut oil
Foods rich in vitamin A (dairy products, fish, spinach, apricots), vitamin B (meat, fish, bananas, leafy green veggies), vitamin C (citrus, melon, tomatoes and potatoes) and vitamin E (nuts, broccoli, whole grains) are essential for truly healthy hair. Feel like eating a steak tonight? Perfect. Red meat is rich in iron and zinc, two nutrients proven to help your hair grow its fastest.
You should moisturize your hair and seal it with an oil(like olive oil, coconut oil) daily

follow these tips to repair it
# Have patience.
# Take time out to care for your hair.
# Change your diet to improve the health of your hair and minimize hair breakage. Eat a diet that is high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Be sure you are getting enough essential fatty acids, also known as omega-3. Some good sources of omega-3 include salmon, herring, flax seed, walnuts, olive oil and lean meats, among others.
# Take vitamin E and B supplements, or better yet, take a multi-vitamin every day. It may take awhile before you see improved results in your hair, but adding these vitamins to your diet works toward repairing hair breakage from the inside out.
# Use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners every time you wash your hair. Avoid pulling or twisting your hair when washing or drying it.
# Get your hair trimmed regularly to prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft to the roots. It is a good idea to have split ends trimmed once a month.
# the first home remedy is a hot oil treatment. This treatment is great for many things, however is perfect for hair breakage
here is a great homemade remedy to treat breakage
* The first home remedy is hair mayonnaise recipe. The first step is to combine and whisk two egg yolks in a small bowl.
* now, cut an avocado into two halves. Remove the skin of one half and place it in a separate bowl. Then use a fork to mash the avocado.
* Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to avocado and whisk olive oil and avocado together until they are one texture.
* Whisk the egg yolk separately. Then add the yolk to the avocado and olive oil blend; continue whisking until they are one composition.
* Now apply throughout the hair, however concentrate on the areas that need it most (like the ends or hair in back of the head).
* Leave in the hair for about a half hour and then shampoo and condition hair as usual.
* Repeat these steps every 3 days or weekly until there is an improvement in the overall condition of the hair. You should be able to see results after about 2 to 3 weeks. If not, please consult with a professional.
you should get the mane and tail horse shampoo it is not only for horses and the smell its not so bad for a horse shampoo it really works they sell it at walmart in the pet area
Okay first thing, make sure you get a trim every six weeks. This is very important because especially when you straighten your hair (like i do), you hair has lots of dead split ends on it, so when your hair grows, the split ends grow with it, and then break off, so its not really growing. This is why you need to get a regular trim so that those split ends can be cut off instead of breaking themselves off, and will help your hair to grow faster. After each time you get your hair trimmed, be sure to deep condition it.
-Each week massage your scalp with an organic hair oil for about ten minutes, to help stimulate hair growth and increase the blood flow. Try Jojoba Oil, http://www.steadyhealth.com/articles/use鈥?/a> which can be found at Whole Foods stores.
-Make sure you try to get enough sleep (8 hours a night is what you should aim for) because hair grows when you sleep. Also try your hardest to drink 8 glasses of water a day to keep your body hydrated, because when your body is dehydrated your hair stops growing.
-Vitamins! Vitamins like Zinc and Iron are really good for your hair because they make it strong and healthy (which makes it grow!), and look for shampoo and conditioner than contain vitamins like Vitamin A, B, C, Zinc, and Iron, which feed your hair, and make it healthy.
Don't forget once a week to deep condition or use a hair mask. And keep it hydrated by drinking water (like i said earlier) and using hydrating shampoo and conditioner (My favorite is: Herbal Essences Hello Hydration-http://www.herbalessences.com/us/collect鈥?/a> Keeping your hair hydrated is really important!
Remember to be patient, as growing out your hair takes time. Just do all the tips i told you and in 3 or 4 months you'll be at the length you want!
Hope i helped! =)

You do NOT have to trim your hair every six weeks, and if your ends are healty you don't have to do it at all, I snip 1/2 inch of my ends off every six monts.
Here goes your tips:
1. Drink lots of water, atleast 8 to 12 glasses, not soda or juice, but water.
2. Eat a diet that is good for your hair. Eggs, Chicken, Peas, Salmon, Carrots, Almonds, and wheat germ are all good for hair growth, there are other foods as well, so do a search on it.
3. Take a multi vitamin. I believe that taking one specifically for healthy hair will give you the best results. I like GNC Ultra Nourishair, it's cheap and you can get em' at Rite Aid.
4. Excercise, cardio and aerobics are great excercises for hair. They get the blood going, and the blood nourishes your follicles.
5. Use products for your hair type (curly, dry, oily, color treated, etc.).
6. Shampoo and condition your hair at least once a week.
7. When you shampoo your hair, make sure you rinse out all of the shampoo. Leaving that shampoo film can dry your scalk and cause itchiness, it can also dry your strands as well.
8. Do a deep conditioning treatment atleast once a month. I actually do this once a week, but you should at least do it once a month.
9. If your hair is extremely dry, do a hot oil treatmen once a month. V05 and Queen Helene makes good ones, and these products are inexpensive as well.
10. Try and get those relaxers every three months if possible. The longer the better. When you relax your hair with less than 1 1/2 inches of new growth, you run the risk of over processing your hair, which causes major breakage in the long run.
11. Don't use your flat iron more than once a week. Wrap your hair around your head and put a silk or satin scarf on it to keep the straightness at night.
12. You said that you used a lot of heat protectants. A good heat protectant is a good thing, but too much of a good thing is bad, so lighten up on the products. Raid your stash so you can see what you really need.
13. If your hair is short at your shoulders, try and keep it off of your shoulders. It would be best to wear it in breads and high ponytails to keep it off your shoulders. Its okay to wear your hair down sometimes, but this can break alot of black peoples hair off. Make sure your breads and ponytails aren't too tight.
14. Don't put grease on your scalp. Grease contains protroleum and/or mineral oil, these are not good for the hair b/c they can clog the pores on your scalp and slow down your growth.
15. When you're sitting down with nothing to do, massage your scalp, it really does stimulate the scalp for healthy growth.
16. Be patient.
Don't go for any get rich quick scheme. If you follow these tips, your hair will eventually stop breaking, just give it a couple months. Healthy hair grows. If your hair is not breaking, it will appear to get longer faster.
Paul Mitchell, Nioxin, Nairobi, Organic Root Stimulator, Aphogee, and Nexxus are excellent product lines.
For more hair tips, go to your local library. Most public library carry books on hair health.
im black and white too. i have more white people hair then black people hair, but my sister has more black hair than white..
dont use relaxers it wont help it grow it will damage your hair in the long run. if you want it straight use a straightener and heat defense spray. thats your best bet. use leave in conditioner. curly hair grows faster. braid it. but if you want it longer stop relaxing it, stop flat ironing it. and use a leave in condi. and regular trimmings. every 6 weeks
