OK to Braid Your Hair Everyday?

Q) Is it OK to tie or braid your hair every single day, for a long time?

Professional Hair Care Answer - When you braid your hair, you only change the pattern of the hair temporarily. Chemicals are the only thing that can permanently restructure and change your hair, via relaxers, perms, colors, etc.

I tie my hair up on top of my head every night because its long and hot when I sleep. Of course, you need to use a cloth hair tie. If you use an elastic or tightly wound hair tie, it can break off your hair where its tied if its tied too tight and cause hair damage.

Braided hair, no worries. Just use ties that are gentle to your hair and no problems.

The person who said that tying your hair up and braiding it could somehow magically makes your hair grow is not far off from right.

When you pull your hair from the roots, in any given pressure, you force the hair to exit the follicle faster. Its not like it will grow out in inches, but it does pull on the hair follicles and forces hair growth inadvertently. Thereby it does help your hair actually grow a little faster. If you leave your hair up on top of your head, like I do every night, it'll grow even faster. Why? Because the hair roots on top of your head grow UP. If you lift your hair UP in line with your hair follicles, then its bound to grow faster. Its in a natural line to grow out.

If you really want your hair to grow faster, you might also try Super Biotin. Biotin is a B Vitamin (also called the beauty vitamins) and it is key to hair, skin, and nail growth and health. Since I've been taking it, my hair and nails are growing like crazy!
