HAIR CARE 101

Hair Care 101:

 I cringe when I witness improper handling of our fragile hair but I learn to keep my comments to myself.  My advice can be easily mistaken for something else. I figure, “this is how she/he/they have been caring for their hair before me and it has been working for them up to this point.  The hair never lies. u can see improper handling of the hair in its’ condition; excessive split ends, and breakage.

When caring for my hair here are a few things I ALWAYS REMEMBER:

1.       BE GENTLE: I am so gentle with my hair that my head is the most tender it has ever been. When dealing with my hair I treat it like fine silk (cliché but true).  I patiently care for every strand equally. I never curse or get frustrated with my hair.

2.       Make an appointment for hair: I do not rush when doing my hair. I make sure I take a generous amount of time out of my day when I want to do my hair. I mentally prepare myself and patiently do it. This is how I get the best results.

3.       Listen to hair: know when to wash, moisturize, and leave hair alone.

4.        Know when and how to  trim:

I know it’s time for a trim when I have stringy ends.  Other signs include lots of fairy knots and or slit ends. I usually cut off ¼ to ½ inch depending on how bad they are. If you are uncomfortable u should cut ¼.

Trimming is easy! I twist my hair and snip the ends, the smaller the twists, the better trim I end up with.

5.       ALWAYS, ALWAYS sleep with a silk bonnet or on satin silk pillow case.
