Hi
Beauties!
So I have
been getting many questions about the products I use in hair. Before I go any
further it is important that I point out one major point.
Products DO NOT grow your
hair!!!
It is
important to note that as long as you are breathing your hair grows. Much like
everything else in your body it will only stop working once pass away. I know
there are many naysayers who will beg to differ considering they may have only
had neck or shoulder length hair (short hair runs in the family). I am 98% percent certain that the length of
the hair has to do with breakage due to several factors such as harsh
manipulation, lack of protein, and lack on proper moisture just to name a few
and not genetics. The human hair growth phase is long enough to take one's hair
beyond neck and shoulder length. Our curl pattern is our achille's heel in that
the tight coils and kinks inhibit moisture from passing down out strands. Also
our hair type is very fine contrary to what we may think making it very easy to
break. Start by ditching that standard comb fine tooth we get in the market
replace with a wide tooth comb, trash the hair grease (Blue Magic and like),
and lay off the harsh sulfate containing shampoo. Substitute for milder shampoos (preferably
sulfate free), wash your hair more often (water is your friend), moisturize and
seal your hair. I promise you will notice an immediate difference in the
texture and fullness of your hair. Later on even the length, your hair grows
only 1/4 to 1/2 inch every month so you
will not see a major difference in length overnight. Remember products will
only help in hair maintenance. Pay attention to the words in bold and become
familiar with them. You do not have to look for the exact products I
use,everyone is different what works for me may not work for you. I am providing my regimen only as a guide.
Happy Hair Growing!
