How to grow 1" of hair overnight...maybe

As you may know having long, strong, healthy natural hair is the new trend today. Males and females of all races are trying to grow out their hair. In this particular article we are going to focus on African American hair and test out the recently viral urban myth that there's a way to grow one's hair an inch in just a night! AHS has abounded with this rumor, so if you would like to put it to the test, here are the instructions.

For this “experiment” you could say you are going to need 2-3 eggs, olive oil, and coconut oil, and a detangler comb.

First you should find out how long your hair is already. To figure this out I would recommend getting a sharpie and drawing a line where your hair stops.

Then, you want to make a protein mask for your hair. So, you want to mix the eggs, olive oil, and coconut oil together and apply it you your hair and scalp.

Make sure you get it all over your head and massage it in very well. Massage the mask for about 2-5 minutes.

Then, you want to put some type of plastic cap around your head to keep all the moisture in. Note to self: you may want to keep a towel around because this can get very messy. You want to leave the plastic cap on for about 15-20 minutes.

After you have completed this task you need to wash it out. When you wash the protein mask out you want to use a tiny bit of hot water mostly warm or cold water because if the water is too hot or too warm the eggs will cook in your hair and it will make it harder to get out of your hair.

After you wash the mask out you want to section your hair into four ponytails. As you comb and section out each section make sure you use a detangler comb. Each section you should apply some more coconut oil to your hair.

After you have put coconut oil to your hair get another plastic cap and wrap your hair up. On top of that cap I would recommend putting a regular hair cap on top of that as well just to go to sleep on.

After you have put both the caps on just go to sleep regularly.

When you wake up wash all the coconut oil out of your hair and if you did it right you hair should have grown.
