Unprocessed, unaltered, hair that grows naturally from a person's scalp.
Usually associated with chemically-altered ethnic hair and
transitioning hair, new growth is often easily
detected. It appears thicker, with greater texture--when relaxed hair begins growing out, and/or is seen as the person's
natural hair color--if hair has been color-treated.
It has been over
four months since I have had a
relaxer and it feels like I have an inch
and a half of new growth!
