SOME HAIR CARE MEASURES THAT DESTROY HAIR

()source

• Use of harsh chemically produced hair products (eg dyes and some relaxers)- This dries the hair and makes it fall off.

• Rubbing the hair dry with towel- this tangles the hair making it harder to comb and encourages breakage.

• Using blow dryer ,hot comb or curling iron often - all this dry out the hair ,causing hair fall or breakage.

• Applying styling products that holds hair for a long time( eg gel and bonding)-this is a death sentence for hair .

• Tying the hair tightly up for along time (eg ponytail)- this puts pressure on the hair which might force it to break off.

• Plaiting very tight hair styles.
  These are some measures most women take innocently to look more attractive but end up destroying their beautiful hair . what can you do ?

SOME PROPER HAIR CARE TIPS

• Trim hair often I would recommend twice in 3 months -this will even out hair levels and get rid of damaged hair to avoid breakage.

• Comb hair thoroughly - come before shower preferably using wide tooth comb and never comb when hair is wet ,to dry the hair pat it gently with a towel never rub the hair with it.

• wash hair properly and frequently ,if you have oily scalp or dusty hair please wash daily if possible.

CARING FOR THE HAIR DURING HARMATTAN

The goal of this care this season is to maintain moisture in the hair , please read through.

• Avoid using much shampoo on your hair ,shampoo dries the hair especially now ,use little if you must or replace completely with more conditioner usage.

• Buy a pray bottle , its a small bottle you can have with you any time of the day, it should contain water and oil e. coconut oil .spay it anytime you fell the scalp is drying out.

• Plait protective styles like an all back weave with your natural hair or use a wig ,avoid tight styles as this can greatly damage your hair.

• Increase water intake and eat healthy food, add more proteins to your meal plan and vitamins like vitamin e.

• wrap or cover your hair often to avoid dust and heat from the sun .
