Healthy Hair Care Tips

The Conclusion

Minimize  the use of direct heat.

Limit direct heat usage to 1-3  times per month. Using direct heat on a daily basis will definitely result in damaged hair. Whenever you do use direct heat, use a heat protectant before you apply the direct heat to your hair. Use only ceramic / tourmaline irons instead of marcel irons. Ceramic/ Tourmaline irons are less damaging to the hair. NOTE never use heat on dirty hair. Heat should be used on clean hair only. Limit blow dryers to 1 -2 times per month. It is best not to blow dry the hair at all. If possible only use hood hair dryers.

Wear protective styles.

Protective styles protect the hair ends. Usually the hair ends are hidden away  and are protected from from drying out. These styles usually involve no heat and  does not require much manipulation of the hair. Styles such as twists, braids, buns, up-dos, cornrows, or any other style that hide the ends of your hair. Our hair ends are the most fragile because they are the oldest. These styles protect the hair in extreme cold and hot temps.

Distinguish between breakage and Shedding.

Naturally, hair sheds about 50-100 strands daily. Each hair follicle has a cycle of growth which eventually will lead to death. Everyone has a different growth cycle. Shedding is different from breakage. If you see a white bulb (hair follicle) at the end of the hair strand, this would be considered normal shedding. If you don't see the follicle this may be considered hair breakage.

Protect your hair at nights.

Always sleep in a silk/satin scarf or bonnet or use a silk/satinpillow case. Sleeping with a cotton scarf or pillowcase will cause the hair to dry out. Cotton is very absorbent and will absorb moisture from the hair.

Make sure your stylist share your healthy hair practices

Some stylist focus more on hair 'styling' and less on hair 'health'. Find a stylist who specializes in healthy hair. If you stylist loves to cut your hair, apply direct heat to your hair unnecessarily or encourages you to process your hair too frequently you will never see any results.

Keep your hair care routine Simple.

Find a simple hair regimen that works for you. Be patient and consistent. Stick with your regimen and don’t give up. At times you may make mistakes but don’t give up. Hair normally grows 1/4th to ½ inch per month. Be patient and give your hair that extra care.
