10 Hair Care Basics

It’s no secret that every woman wants healthy hair from root to tip. So here are some basic tips on how to get the hair you want.

1. Choose your hair stylist carefully. A good hair stylist will educate you on what they are doing to your hair and how to maintain it. A hairstylist’s duty should go beyond giving you a fly style.

2. Limit the use of Heat. The everyday use of heat appliances like curling irons and flat irons can lead to dried out hair. If your hair is severely damaged, then try not to use a lot of heat on the hair (if possible totally avoid it). This includes hot water, flat irons, hot curling irons, or hot blow dryers. How about going back to Roller Setting your hair? But instead of using the hair dryer – allow it to air dry.

3. Prevent over-processing. For touch-ups, apply relaxer to new growth only. To prevent breakage go no longer than three months between touch-ups.

4. Do regular deep conditioning treatments. Conditioning your hair is a must, especially during the summer months. Use an intensive conditioning agentand an intensive treatment once per week. Tip: Mix a Vitamin-Fortified Conditioner with a natural oil like Jamaican Black Castor oil or organic coconut oil for a deep conditioning treatment. Leave in for 15-20 minutes, then rinse and style as usual.
