Hair Care Tips

For me, having healthy hair is very important. It is a sign of youth, beauty, and fertility. I always dream of having thick, long, lushes hair, so I do as much as I can to help promote growth. These are some ways I keep my hair in shape.
Limit the use of hot tools. I iron and blow dry my hair about once or twice a month. If you are constantly applying heat to your tresses, it will cause your hair to weaken and damage. That causes split ends and dryness. Make sure to use low heat when using hot tools and remember to add a heat protecting serum before styling.
Nutrition! Having a diet rich in vitamin b, omega, and fish oils will help make your locks shine. Leafy, dark greens, fruits, and whole grains should be a part of your daily eats. Basically, when your diet is healthy, it shows through your hair and skin as well! I take a daily hair, skin, and nail vitamin which I bought at a Whole Foods. Don't forget to drink plenty of water!

Create your own hair mask! This is something that I absolutely love doing. I make all types of masks including honey & milk masks, avocado masks, and my personal favorite, the mayonnaise mask! This really works, it makes my hair ultra smooth and super shiny!
Like me, if you have biracial hair you should only wash it once a week with a moisturizing shampoo. Washing your hair everyday will cause it to dry out. This also applies for super curly or african hair. Never brush your hair dry! This will break your curls and cause your hair to frizz. Just stick to finger combing and brush it out when you wash it. Add a little conditioner in your hair to define your curls.
Lastly, you should get a trim every 6 to 8 weeks to loose the dead ends and prevent even more breakage.
By following these rules, you should have the hair you've always desired!
