Yes they do the past month I had my hair in a side braid almost everyday and it grew about an inch and a half which may not sound like a lot but for me it is considering that's usually the amount my hair grows in 8 months.

Yes, box braids, cornrows, Senegalese twists.. These techniques and more will help! Trust me! Just keep em in for a month or two and wash every week/two weeks and you'll see the grow out literally from your scalp! It's worth a try.

Yes. I Braid My Baby's Hair Every Night N Do Ponytail Every Day N It Has Grown So Much. Pulling Your Hair tight makes it grow :)

No offense to anyone but I wanted advice from women of color...I know that sounds bad but it's only because our hair texture and experiences are alike...

And I'm not saying it stimulates growth!! I'm asking if it will stop hair from getting shorter!! Omfg some people -_-

I'm African American, so in my opinion, YES.. It's worth it. It will give your hair a break and you can actually see the growth. You can also YouTube videos...

I believe that if you keep braiding your hair often that it does help your hair grow cause I used to always braid my hair in a couple of braids and sometimes just two braids but I did it at night and slept with it in a lot and before I knew it my hair was longer it doesn't make it grow over night but it does in a few months

Yes it makes hair grow. I had my braids in for 3 months. I was by my neck and when I took it out. It was pass my shoulder. Remember everyone hair texture is different. So just because it doesn't help grow your hair doesn't mean it doesn't for another. Our hair is not all the same. We all come from different places. So remember that😊
