For me I would say, keeping my hair and scalp clean, sleeping with my hair covered in a silk scarf, deep conditioning my hair weekly. There are more, but, those are the first three that came to mind.

1, Don't obsess
2, Don't stress
3, Don't worry
Other than that, just make sure you deep condition, cover it at night and take exceptional care of the ends.

1. keep the hair (especially ends) moisturized
2. limit the use of heat
3. leave it alone!!!
i think genetics can help some, but not others. i also think that genetics (for those who don't have relatives with long hair) can be overcome.

For those of you who said prayer, I beg you.... use your prayers for something that will make a difference in the world. That takes vanity to a very obsene level. It is wonderful that we want to take pride in our appearance and all strive for healthy hair, but don't let this consume you.
<font color="purple">Taking care of your hair requires:
1. Washing and conditioning your hair, along with weekly deep conditioning and protein treatments.
2. Avoid heating appliances, i.e. blowdryers and such.
3. Giving a scalp massage to stimulate blood flow.
4. Protect hair from the wind and sun (time to put on your wide-rimmed hats that's satin lined for summer).
5. Eat a healthy diet; fruits, veggies, lean meats, dairy, and use healthy cooking oils, i.e. olive, peanut, safflower.
6. Get out and exercise, if it's too hot, exercise indoors.
7. Plenty of H2O.
8. Protective hairstyles.
9. Wear silk or satin when retiring for bed, or put a satin pillowcase over your existing pillow.
10. Take supplements for overall health and nourishment for your hair.
11. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
12. Use less chemicals, i.e. relaxers and such. </font>

hmm i dunno about that. i think God cares for ALL aspects of us, he has numbered all the hairs on our head. i think as humans we sometimes underestimate how he is. he is not like man who will say how dare you bother me with such a petty thing.it is a father, child relationship. i wouldnt turn away my child if he was worried about what i see as a tiny problem...i have prayed for things that may be seen as petty or vain to others but they have come to pass.
i take prayer to be a chat with my creator not some complicated, formal, executive scientific grant application.if i had a face to face conversation with jesus i would let him know all my dreams, my goals(incl hair), my fears etc etc.

I love threads like these....great tips!
BTW, I don't think the Lord has a problem with us praying about our beauty. I think He wants us to be beautiful and to be able to come to Him with the same things we go to each other for. As long as we don't become consumed and obsessed with beauty and vanity. He can handle all of our prayers.

Ditto, Pandora. There's nothing too small for God. By the same token, though, we do need balance - it is rather vain to only pray for healthy hair when you don't have a healthy spirit.

I responded to the old thread which was similar to this one.
I only wanted to add that genetics determines only How To Care for one's hair. It doesn't necessary predetermine how long your hair is going to be. Hair length and health vary across the board regarding texture.
