Does African American hair grow if you wash it everyday?

You should only wash your hair as often as needed to keep it healthy and moisturized. Washing is usually not what causes hair breakage with African American hair. What causes hair breakage is rough handling after washing (like ripping a comb though your hair instead of combing it gently), using products that dry out the hair, chemical treatments, tight braids, extensions, weaves, wigs, and the excessive use of heat.
