It seems we’re never done researching or asking around for actually effective textured hair growth advice. There’s a lot to be said and done but ultimately, the process is individual to the person. I’ve seen friends go from a pixie to a bob in months simply by sticking to a biotin gummy. Countless YouTubers swear by rice water rinses and other DIY concoctions. Everyone’s got their very own list of the best natural hair growth products and a specific way of using them.

Over the years and through an innumerable amount of convos with experts and hair gurus in my inner circle, I’ve learned that the best way to start and maintain the long game is by making simple, healthy choices. For starters, that included improving my diet with protein-rich foods and plenty of water, followed by a wash day routine and daily styling regimen that didn’t compromise moisture. Incorporating a hair vitamin, nixing the heat tools, and occasionally trimming my ends have helped, too.

As for deciding which growth-promoting products to invest in, I’ve mastered a balance of scanning product labels for lengthening nutrients such as castor oil, along with reading reviews from people with curl patterns similar to mine. So while this list of top-rated natural hair growth products isn’t just for loose curly-wavy hair, it’s definitely a mixed-bag of finds that could suit a variety of textures.
