Does braiding your hair at night actually help it grow?

That isn't completely false, what happens is whenever you scratch, pull, or even massage your hair, it stimulates growth. And by braiding your hair the pulling does help, also people tend to "forget" about their hair when it is braided so therefore they notice alot more growth when it is time to unbraid there hair.

For example, if you are trying to grow your hair, you may check the length a lot and whatnot, but if your hair is braided for 2 months the length cannot be checked until it is unbraided and therefore when it is unbraided you can then see some length that has grown out.

Nope i don't it doesn't help because any time that you put your hair into a band to hold it you are causing breakage. A good thing that i have found to grow out your hair is biotin supplements. they have worked really well for me, i would take no less then 2500 mcg a day. It will take a month or two to really notice any difference, unless you had and dye put in your hair, then when the roots grow out you can see how much your hair has grown. Good luck=)
