Re: Any 4a/4b ladies who didn\'t have long hair when
I have brastrap length relaxed hair. It has been longer than that but I cut it a year ago.
My natural hair is really coily with fine densely packed strands.
When I was little my hair was not short but it wasn't long either. Then when I was a teen, I would go to the salon every week and my hair was never longer than my shoulders.
What helped me grow my hair really long initially was when I found the longhairlovers site (this was before lhcf) and they only had a multicultural forum. I digress....
From there I learned that I had to
-stretch my relaxers as long as possible
-detangle before washing
-deep condition once a week at least
-alternate b/w protein and moisture conditioners
-use widetooth combs
-no heat/little heat (rollersets/braidouts/ protective styles)
In a nutshell, it was hair products and styling. I don't really take vitamins regularly and I don't have a great diet.

In addition to answered prayer
Eating healthy well balanced meals, drinking a lot of water, taking vitamins (a multi-vitamin and msm), and lot's of aerobic exercise have been the factors that most contributed to my hair growth.
Sleeping in a silk or satin scarf and on satin pillowcases only and not wearing my hair down when wearing wool, cotton, or other "non smooth" fabrics have also contributed a great deal to retaining length.
Finally, keeping the ends moisturized has also contributed a lot to retaining length.
But all in all in addition to prayer, (I prayed for my hair to grow so much when I was little
it worked and I praise The Lord for it because I would have went crazy if it didn't grow
), a combination of exercising, eating right, and drinking lots of water is what made my hair grow in faster and stronger.
