What to do if you have curly hair and want to grow it?

I moved away from my old salon, and when I went back to do my hair I had major split ends. They had to cut 2 inches off of my hair. Now my hair is like a little bit longer than shoulder length. I want to grow it back and keep it healthy. How can I ?What to do if you have curly hair and want to grow it?
My girlfriend has very wavy hair.





I bought her this book:


http://www.amazon.com/Curly-Girl-Lorrain鈥?/a>





I'll let you read the reviews, however I would highly recommend buying this book.





I'll sum up everything it says more or less.


It says, stop using shampoo because the heavy detergents are really drying your hair out. Instead use alot of conditioner, and wash your scalp like you would your skin. The book ideas are a little unconviental, but there are a lot of people on amazon who swear by the book..What to do if you have curly hair and want to grow it?
Curly hair tends to be naturally dry, not as bad is you are mixed, so you need to keep your hair moisturized as much as possible. Condition your hair at least every day. Even if lotion is the only moisturizer around you at the time, use it, but only a little.


And you should get your hair trimmed every 3-6 weeks.


Hope I helped :)
leave it down as much as possible, dont use heat, if you use a straightener, it will make the ends burned and then youll have to get more cut off, and get it trimmed every 6 weeks. if you dont, then your hair will get really bad split ends.
Avoid heat styling if you can (if not, keep it down to a minimum) and just leave it alone. There is no magic bullet when it comes to hair growth, you just have to let it grow.
Try not ton damage it (too much blow drying)


Deep condition it 1-3 times a week.


Get about half an inch of your hair trimeed every 4-8 weeks. :)





Shampoo everyother day to keep it from drying out.
