Afro Hair Growth Tips That Actually Work: Part 1

Move That Body, Grow That Hair!

If you’ve been wondering why your hair isn’t growing the way you want — or why it seems to break faster than it grows — let me stop you right there. ✋🏾 Healthy, strong, thriving hair isn’t about a single miracle product. It’s about your whole body.

Your hair is part of your overall health. When your body is nourished, rested, and moving, your strands are too. When it’s stressed, starved, or sluggish, your hair pays the price. That’s why in this new blog series, I’m giving you 3 proven, science-backed hair growth tips — explained simply, for a quick read — that will help you build stronger strands from the inside out.

Movement for hair growth

When we talk exercise, most people think abs, bums, and thighs. But let’s not forget your scalp, darling. When you move your body, your heart pumps faster, and blood circulation improves — meaning oxygen and nutrients get delivered more efficiently to every part of you, including those precious hair follicles.

In simple science: your hair grows from follicles that thrive on a steady blood supply. Exercise improves circulation, circulation improves follicle nourishment, and nourished follicles grow stronger, healthier strands.

The best bit? You don’t have to be chained to the treadmill. Dancing in your kitchen, a YouTube workout in your pyjamas, or a walk in the park — all of it boosts circulation. The trick is to do something you actually enjoy, because consistency is queen.

To keep us motivated and moving, I’ve started a Curl Move Playlist on Spotify — full of beats to get your heart pumping and your follicles flourishing. Got a track that makes you want to strut, squat or shimmy? Send me a 🎶 and the track name on WhatsApp and I’ll add it in. Let’s build this playlist together, curls and all!
