Growing Long Curly Hair

Faire pousser des cheveux longs et bouclés

Pourquoi vos cheveux ne poussent-ils pas ?

La nature de nos cheveux est entièrement liée à la génétique. Celle-ci joue un rôle majeur dans la densité, la forme des boucles, l'épaisseur et la couleur de vos cheveux, mais aussi dans leur longueur et leur vitesse de croissance. La croissance des cheveux dépend de la durée de leur phase de croissance. C'est la phase anagène, la plus longue du cycle capillaire.

En réalité, la longueur de nos cheveux est définie par la durée de la phase anagène sur le cuir chevelu humain, qui peut durer de 1 à 10 ans, mais en moyenne, elle se situe entre 3 et 5 ans. Sur le reste du corps, la phase anagène dure quelques mois, ce qui explique pourquoi nos cheveux sont plus longs que ceux du reste de notre corps. À tout moment, 85 à 90 % des follicules pileux se trouvent en phase anagène.

À ce stade du cycle, notre follicule pileux construit le cheveu lui-même : il ajoute de nouvelles cellules à la base du cheveu, ce qui crée progressivement une mèche plus longue. La croissance normale des cheveux (aussi appelée « allongement de la tige capillaire ») se situe entre 0,3 et 0,5 mm par jour. Hormis la gestion de notre santé interne, nous ne pouvons rien faire pour accélérer la pousse de nos cheveux. Alors pourquoi avons-nous l'impression que nos cheveux poussent plus vite à certains moments qu'à d'autres ?

Conservation de la longueur

Il s'agit de préserver la longueur. Si vos cheveux poussent presque constamment, veillez à ne pas les abîmer ni les casser afin qu'ils puissent atteindre leur plein potentiel avant de tomber naturellement. Cela signifie qu'il faut leur accorder un peu plus d'attention. C'est particulièrement important pour les cheveux texturés, qui ont tendance à être plus secs que les autres et donc plus sujets à la casse. Il est également plus difficile de voir une progression de croissance avec les cheveux bouclés, car ils poussent en boucles plutôt qu'à l'horizontale. Soyez donc patient, surtout si vous avez récemment fait une coupe complète.

Voici donc quelques conseils pour conserver la longueur de vos cheveux :

Style protecteur

Au quotidien, je porte mes cheveux bouclés, mais cela implique de les démêler tous les soirs et l'entretien peut être fastidieux, sinon ils s'emmêlent très vite. Parfois, si j'ai l'impression que mes cheveux deviennent un peu indisciplinés ou que je perds beaucoup plus de cheveux que d'habitude, je les laisse en coiffure protectrice pendant une semaine pour leur permettre de se reposer. J'opte généralement pour deux ou quatre tresses africaines et j'applique un soin intensif avec des huiles et des beurres naturels pour préserver l'hydratation.

Comme je travaille à temps plein et que je tiens à être présentable, je refait mes tresses africaines tous les matins pour qu'elles soient bien nettes. L'essentiel est de les manipuler le moins possible. Vaporisez un après-shampoing sans rinçage pour éviter que vos cheveux ne s'assèchent. Pour moi, c'est comme une cure de jouvence intense pour mes cheveux, une rééducation qui leur donne tout ce dont ils ont besoin. Au bout d'une semaine, ils sont beaucoup plus sains, en meilleur état et paraissent beaucoup plus longs. Continuez ainsi aussi longtemps que vous le jugez nécessaire. Une semaine me convient, mais deux semaines, voire un mois, peuvent être nécessaires. Veillez simplement à bien vous laver les cheveux pour éviter toute accumulation de produit.
Lorsque vous coiffez vos cheveux de manière protectrice, n'oubliez pas de les hydrater régulièrement pour favoriser une croissance saine des cheveux.

Démêlage

Le démêlage est une étape cruciale. Si vous le négligez, vous aurez beaucoup moins de cheveux. Je vous conseille de toujours commencer par humidifier vos cheveux avec de l'eau ou un spray démêlant, puis de les sectionner pendant le démêlage. Des sections plus petites facilitent le démêlage. Tous les cheveux bouclés ont tendance à s'emmêler. Démêlez de bas en haut : si vous peignez à la racine, vous créerez plus de nœuds et de cassures. Commencer par les pointes est donc bien meilleur pour vos boucles. Je recommande vivement le démêlage à la main sur cheveux mouillés ou humides, car cela réduit la casse et aide à définir les boucles. Vous pouvez également utiliser une brosse Denman, idéale pour regrouper les boucles, et un peigne à dents larges. Pour un peigne à dents larges, privilégiez les peignes en bois ou à dents arrondies, car les dents pointues peuvent créer plus de nœuds et provoquer des fourches.
Démêlez vos cheveux délicatement pour éviter une perte excessive. Commencez par les pointes et remontez progressivement.

Coiffage de nuit

Beaucoup de gens ont tendance à opter pour des coiffures protectrices comme les tresses africaines, les tresses, les torsades et les chignons. La nuit, vous pouvez aussi dormir avec un bonnet et un foulard/durag en satin, ou même simplement une taie d'oreiller en satin. Cela réduira la casse et maintiendra votre coiffure et vos cheveux pendant votre sommeil. Je trouve cela tellement important que je vais bientôt publier un article consacré aux coiffures de nuit et à la façon dont je les coiffe. Tous les hommes aux cheveux longs savent que cette étape s'applique aussi à eux. Peu importe votre sexe, vous ne pouvez pas dormir les cheveux lâchés. Je sais qu'il peut être difficile de trouver la motivation, mais si vous n'y parvenez pas, voici ce que vous ferez :
J'espère que ce guide vous plaira et qu'il vous aidera à faire pousser vos cheveux longs et bouclés. Suivez ces étapes et soyez constant pour obtenir des résultats ; n'hésitez pas à aimer et à commenter ci-dessous pour que je sache ce que vous en pensez et à me faire part de vos astuces pour conserver vos cheveux longs et bouclés.

✨ Review: Hydrating Mist + Hair Oil Duo ✨ My son has been using the hydrating mist and hair oil from this company consistently in his hair routine, and the results honestly speak for themselves. His hair looks healthier, shinier, and has so much more volume now. On Eid especially, his hair looked amazing — soft, defined, and full without looking heavy. The hair oil has become his favourite part of the routine. He massages it into his scalp twice a week and leaves it in for a couple of hours before washing. It really helps keep his scalp moisturised and makes his hair feel stronger and smoother afterwards. The hydrating mist works perfectly alongside it because it adds lightweight moisture and shine without making the hair greasy. He usually sprays it before styling with mousse, and it helps define the hair while keeping frizz away all day. ✨ What we noticed after regular use: Shinier, healthier-looking hair Softer texture Better volume and definition Less dryness and frizz Hair feels hydrated but lightweight Overall, this combination has worked really well for his routine, especially for keeping his hair looking fresh and styled naturally. Definitely products we would keep using. ⭐

I have only just started using the products. It’s maybe just three weeks now but this leaves my hair feeling so clean without any white residue like some other cleansers. It’s a must have and because I feel so clean and all residue is removed. I no longer wash my locs I just use this now and it gives me the same effect pending when I decide to redo my locs at the salon.

Since using the hair butter and hydrating spray my daughter’s hair has been easier to style and there has been less tears. Before her hair was dry but after using the products her hair looks shiny and healthy. We love how they smell too. Would definitely recommend.

It absorbs beautifully without sitting greasy on top, which is rare. My hair drinks it up and just looks expensive afterwards. The frizz? Calm. The dryness? Gone. The ends? Sealed and behaving.

I RARELY write reviews so trust me when I say this product has my heart! I believe it's my fourth time purchasing it and honestly my hair absorbs and loves it. I find my hair to be frizz free and I barely get any breakage, I put that down to how moisturising it is. I also use it for my kids and their hair loves it too! I love how gentle the ingredients, it gives me a peace of mind

I’ve been using this hydrating hair mist for a short while now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. My scalp feels well-hydrated and comfortable, without any dryness or irritation. My hair feels noticeably softer, healthier, and more manageable, with a natural shine that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. What I really appreciate is how lightweight the mist is—it absorbs easily and refreshes my hair without weighing it down. It’s perfect for daily use, especially when my hair needs a quick boost of moisture. Overall, this product has helped improve the look and feel of my hair, leaving it nourished, refreshed, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to maintain hydrated, soft, and healthy hair.

I was recommended this by someone who works here for my 4 month old baby. I’d beg to differ.. essential oils and tea tree are definitely not recommended for a baby so young. I tried it on myself it’s ok but definitely won’t be buying from here again. I wanted to like it but it’s not for me

Moisture Cream Hair Butter

Customer photo review of Hydrating Hair Mist

I was approached in Westfield Shopping centre as I have curly hair and was told the product would be perfect for my type of hair. I have been looking for something that would be light enough not to weigh my hair down but give it the moisture it needs. I was super excited to use the mist but unfortunately it just dried my hair out. It was very light on my hair but didn’t enhance the curl pattern any more than what it was. I am very disappointed with the product especially for the price. I have to use it with my original hair product for it not to dry my hair out. I would not purchase again, Sorry 😕 I wanted to love it but it’s not for me!

Customer photo review of Satin Bonnet (Cream and Gold Reversible)

I love this bonnet! 1) I've become a restless sleeper so I toss and turn quite a bit and this does not come off. I don't have to do the mid sleep checks anymore to see if it's still on my head 2) I've spent so much money on silk bonnet and it just not living up to the hype but this £8.50 satin bonnet has done everything i thought those silk bonnets would do. I have thick wavy hair and these have been amazing controlling the frizz!

I Decided To Try The Mist After Using The Oil For A Year. It's Great For When My Hair Is Styled; It Was Especially Good When I Was On Holiday In Ghana; My Locs Were Hydrated and When I Took Them Out Of The Style, They Were Moisured With No Need For Oil. I Only Need To Use It Once A Week In The UK; About Every Other Day In Hot Weather. Give It A Try; The Larger Bottle Is Great Value.

After doing the big chop I was so worried my hair wouldn’t grow back quickly but omg.. after using this hair oil (along with other TGH products) I finally feel like I have my crown back. I swear by this hair oil!! The scent, the texture and the way my hair has grown back so healthily! I even use it on my hair clients. I can’t fault it at all, thank you ThatGoodHair!! ❤️
