keep your hair conditioned washing it ever other day, when you apply conditioner leave it in your hair for about an hour, or try not completly washing the conditioner out, i like using hair masks, like face masks but for your hair, the best place to get them is morrisons and there cheap and effective,keep using heat to a minimal, hope this helps.
Heat & chemicals are hair's worst enemies. Natural hair means no relaxer, no chemical to straighten your hair out, no styling heating tools. The way it grows out your root, thats the way you rock it.
Always choose a shampoo that's tailored to your hair needs. For example, certain shampoos are created for fine, curly, color treated, or dandruff-prone hair.
Best advice from Hollywood's well known hairstylist in the 80's once said: "Keep foods in your mouth and hair products on your hair."
CARE: 1. Washing less often, builds the natural oil your hair needs, to get them smoother, shinier, silkier, softer. Man-made products are just temporary, until you wash them again, and at the same time washing off the natural oil your hair NEEDS. Hair products just absorb on your hair if they're dry, like a sponge. Shampoo & condition is all you need.
When you wash your hair with one of those nutrient-rich shampoos or conditioners, most of the nutrients and active ingredients in the product dont actually end up in your hair, they wind up down the drain along with all the money you spent on the shampoo. It is HOW you use to style your hair or what styling tools that damage the hair, and what chemicals you're adding to the hair, not the shampoo or conditioner.
2. If you want your hair soft, you can briefly blow dry it, set them in curlers or pin curls them, blow dry, let them cool off, take the curlers &/or pins, finger tousle the hair or brush lightly to style. They will be silky, soft, smooth & shiny (for straight hair).
3. Cutting your split ends yourself, spend 5-10 mins. on a sunny day so you can easily spot them, using a 2" scissors, cut strand by strand, section by section, allowing new growth to take over. Then 2x a year, get a good hair cut. This won't speed things up, but it will make the hair look healthier while it's growing. Even healthy hair like mine get them, due to normal brushing & styling. but mostly from using stretchy chord for stressing the hair.
DIET: If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.
Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair" – Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results.
Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .
RE: HAIR OIL: "You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesnt get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing, Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.
Another way to find the secret to beautiful hair? Find someone with beautiful healthy curls orsilky, shiny (not greasy) straight hair and ask him or her to share secrets, preferably someone who is 40-60 years older than YOU. I have 5 decades, so you're getting the answers you need, right here! I won't charge you a penny!
Best answer comes from people with Avatars, showing their healthy, shiny, silky, soft, smooth hair.
No, I'll go with these:
Yes, the Nazi Utopia all over.
Nothing wrong with having a kid naturally. But I agree I hate sperm banks.
Too funny!
"Some banks even set restrictions on hair and eye color; the world's largest sperm bank recently stopped accepting sperm from redheads because nobody wants a goddamn carrot top, and their stockpile of ginger **** was going to waste. In essence, you need to be a tall, dark and handsome Vitruvian Man from a good school … who still has wound up in a position where, in order to make ends meet, he must masturbate for money."- lmao!
What LTM said works for me. Thank god for the right or left hand love affairs.
