First things first is...
Basic Hair Care
1. After drying off in the shower, never wipe your hair. Always do a soft pat dry. Better yet, save an old t-shirt just for drying off your hair and pat dry with that rather than with a rough towel. The trick is to not make your hair completely dry, but slightly damp, and I'll explain why later.
2. At bed time, always keep your hair covered with a du rag or scarf for protection. Satin is preferable, hence a du rag. Look up ways to knot it so that it doesn't fall off during sleep.
3. Drink lots of water.
These three things go a surprisingly long way.
Now, the rest of it is in the details.
Moisturizing
As I was telling Blasian, every black person's hair is different. Some have naturally straight hair, some have mixed hair, others wavy hair, curly-kinky hair, and knky hair. Figuring out your hair type for hair growth is helpful to see what it likes. Now, as said, everyone's hair is different, but it's still good to have a general plan of action depending on how long you want your hair. Men are less likely to care about hair type because y'all tend to not grow your hair as long as us ladies, and it's sometimes hard to recognize hair type when it's low, but at least try so you can see what you're dealing with.
If you find your hair type, I think the next step would be to see on whether your hair prefers butters or oils. I suggest staying away from things like pomades and hair dressings like Blue Magic despite being staples in black homes because of their chemicals, and you're trying to promote growth above all else. Butters are things like shea butter. Oils are things like Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil;etc. Generally, folks with really thick, kinky hair work best with butters due to their hair density. With people with lighter, less heavy, more coil patterned hair, typically working better with oils. Even then there are lots of people with kinky hair who use BOTH. So see what works.
You can go to Sally or a local Beauty Supply or even Amazon and get stuff like this:
Hell, you can use olive oil from the store if you want.
Now, the key to oils and butters is to keep your hair moisturized. But people often make the mistake of thinking that oil or butters are the moisturizer. THEY'RE NOT. Oil and butters merely SEAL moisture. What you use as a moisturizer is water. This is why it's important to not completely dry your hair when drying off.
The trick is, after you dry your hair, use a spray bottle with water in it so dampen your hair.
Preferably something cheap.
You don't want to completely wet it or anything, but give it some moisture.
A suggestion is to put a bit of oil in the bottle and mix it up. I personally put a cocktail of JBCO, olive, and Vitamin E oil in my spray bottle. It must be mostly water though. You're not putting in the oil to seal, but to give basic extra nutrients.
After damping your hair, THEN you apply the sealant of your choice, massaging it fully into your scalp, and finally brush or comb. If you're using something like Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing smoothie, use it before you use your sealant.
Our hair thrives on moisture, this is why drinking lots of water is also important. Usually, by doing all of the above, your hair will good and moisturized the whole day. Repeat the process at night.
I highly suggest using Jamaican Black Castor Oil as a sealant. The stuff has a distinct smell, and it's thick as hell so it doubles down to lock water in for constant moisture. Your hair WILL grow fast if you use JBCO daily!
Washing and Detangling
As I said earlier in the thread, black hair doesn't need washing more than once or twice a week. Usually once is enough. Over washing tends to strip the hair of its natural oils, which leads to dryness, which we established on the last point is something you want to avoid.
Honestly, a lot of girls these days aren't even using Shampoo. We use nothing but conditioner because it does the same job without oil stripping. For the sake of this, I'll list some good shampoo's.
Shampoo - Make sure shampoo has no sulfates.
SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow and Restore Shampoo - Get this shit. I don't care if you're white, black, asian, latino, arab, an alien, GET THIS SHIT. I am poo free and even I own a bottle to use every now and then as a treat.
Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex 10-in-1 Renewal System Shampoo - This has biotin and stuff in it and is super hypdrating to help promote hair growth.
Conditioners
Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner - Most Shea Moisture conditioners are pretty great but for the purpose of hair growth, this is probably the one I'd suggest the most because it's Raw Shea butter and emphasizes restoring and repairing hair. Which you'll need for hair growth.
Detanglers
Gata Detangler - Pretty solid detangler. Even detangles dreadlocks.
Deep Conditioning
Deep conditioning isn't only for women. The benefits of deep conditioning is ultra hydrated hair. Shampoo like normal, then when you're about done with your shower, put the conditioner in. Don't wash it out. Leave it in and when you dry off, don't dry your hair. Just take your Du Rag and cover your hair with it to let the conditioner bake inside your hair and get deep inside your hair follicles. Read a book, watch tv, play video games, do whatever for 30 to 60 minutes. Then run water over it, dry it off, moisturize, and comb/brush.
Doing all of the above, you should see a noticeable increase in hair growth. JBCO especially helps hair grow extremely fast and the Shea Moisture JBCO shampoo should help as well.
I'm not going to get into things like finger detangling. That's for the future.
What a time to be alive.

All you said was that you hope they have brown people who aren't bodega owners or cabbies, which is why I brought up the black and brown people who were cast in prominent roles.

I assume that Produce 101 refers to production (pro-DUCE). I see it and I think of a grocery store (PRO-duce), and considering this is about girl groups, that makes ironic sense.

Ain't no way in hell. Dude is a much better man than me in every sense of the word. I would have drop kicked dude in the throat with some titanium cleats running at full speed on sight. He's gonna catch some hands before we hash it out.
Unless my dude is playing that long con and trying to get him all comfortable and buddy buddy before he brings down the wrath!
A) Good cosplay warms the soul
B) I haven't had fired chicken in what feels like ages. Maybe its been even more than a year?
C) I should take better care of my hair. But I'm too cheap & lazy :/
I gotta say, this community has to be the absolutely best one as poking fun at itself. I don't think you'll find this comfort level in a lot of other places on GAF. Or perhaps I'm just ignorant, I dunno. But yeah, this place has got JOKES LOL

You are a public keeper of the peace, you do that, and only get 18 months? How? HOW? Surely he deserves double the time McGee spent in prison - at bare minmum 8 years?
