Everything Girls with Kinks and Curls Should Know About Growing Longer, Stronger Hair

You knew it was coming, but here comes the dietary advice: yes, eating the right foods, drinking plenty of water and maintaining a healthy lifestyle does impact the health of your hair. And if you're eating junk food all the time, your hair growth goals are going to suffer. "You are what you eat, so whatever you put into your body is what you get out of your body," Sturdivant-Drew says. "So, if you're eating stuff that's too salty or fried food all the time, you see it in your body and in your hair."

She's also a big fan of hair vitamins to help with growth and suggests Nutrafol, $88, to a lot of clients. "I always say it's about taking good hair vitamins that actually work. I always start by asking questions about diet when clients complain their hair isn't growing. What are you putting in your body? Why isn't your hair growing? I always refer clients to this vitamin to get their hair to grow."
