I starting growing my hair out after my last head shave in November 2010.I have about 2-2 1/2 inches of hair growth with a relaxer, ( I need to either give that up or get a better relaxer.)I keep trying to grow it out naturally, but I am not use to it growing out and up, looks weird and unkempt on me.I have had long weaves (almost to my butt) and I can't stand them, but I like getting braids that long, I'm weird. I have grown my hair out to get waist length braids in September and AND BLONDE!. I'm excited. I haven't had braids that long since I started college, almost 10 years ago.

It made me sad to hear that.I am ignorant about black hair. How fast does it grow and how long can it get? Your hair grew 2 1/2 inches since last November. Is that slow, fast, or average? Hair always seems to grow so slow when you want it longer.

Hair always seems to grow so slow when you want it longer. If it's taken care of, black hair doesn't grow any slower or faster than anyone else's. Half an inch a month is normal if you're treating your hair properly but some women don't (like me ). Hair like ours is more fragile than any other kind of hair and requires a different level of care. For most black women, the problem isn't achieving growth--if that's your goal--it's keeping what has grown (retention).
