I have natural course black hair the saying is you drink 8 glasses of water a day your hair will grow is that true
First thing you should realize is that ALL types of hair grows at the same rate. African american hair just loses moisture at a faster rate, because of it's nature and because we tend to use different types of chemicals that strip the protein and nutrients from our hair without replacing them. This causes our hair to break. While your hair is permed you should be deep treating it at least once a week. Treatments replace nutrients that your hair desperately need to stay healthy. Once new growth starts to come in, DO NOT PERM YOUR HAIR. You need to give your hair at least 2-3 month relief from chemical damage. You don't want your hair to lose it's natural PH balance. I suggest you either braid your hair or get a full head sewed in weave. When your new growth starts to come in, your hair is at it's weakest point. This is because the new growth is too coarse to hold the soft permed hair. So I definitely suggest braiding it at this point. Now while your hair is not permed, your hair should be washed and deep treated at least once a month. Nexxus is a wonderful line of products to use. There's a product for all hair types. They use a time released technology that gradually distributes nutrients and proteins through the hair strands and to the scalp. Great hair products. I have a routine with my own hair.Before washing my hair I put coconut oil and carrot oil in my hair to moisturize. Leave it in as long as I want. I wash my hair with nexxus botanical treatment shampoo. I deep treat my hair with Motions deep treatment. Leave that in for 15 min. I wash that out, and put nexxus treatment conditioner in my hair. After washing and towel drying my hair, I put a leave in treatment in my hair. Then I blow dry. If your going to apply heat to your hair you must use some kind of thermal protection. Heat ( blow dryers, curling irons, hot combs, Etc.) will damage your hair. Coloring your hair will also damage your hair. Treatments moisturize and help reverse damage to your hair. other good product lines to use are: Aphogee, Mizani, Motions, Dudleys, and profectiv. Vitamins that allow your hair to grow are Vitamins A,B12,C and biotin (there are more but these are the most important) Hair formula 37 is perfect if you prefer this method to growing your hair. Trust me girl. A year ago I was practically bald, now my hair is thick, full and almost to the middle of my back. Good luck!!
As much as nutrition affects your hairs health, drinking that much water will only help to make your body healthy from the inside out, not cause your hair to grow faster. Nothing can make your hair grow faster, all you can do is trim your hair to prevent damaged ends and split ends from becoming worse, do conditioning treatments periodically, and keep from overprocessing your hair with flat irons, curling irons, blow dryers. Take good care of your hair. Its all you got.
Technically,yes, but not causally. As long as you are marginally healthy your hair will grow - at the same rate. So whether you drink 3 cups or 8 cups or 10 cups, it will grow the same.
