What Saved my Hair?
I went through a really bad stage with my hair. I wasn't treating my hair correctly. My hair was really dried out and frizzy. I was putting a toll on my hair.
I was straightening my hair every day, washing my hair every night, & sleeping with my hair in tight ponytails. I had also cut my hair from past my ribs to my about my collar bone with layers. I had always medium length hair that was straight. After I had cut my hair, my hair was too short my liking and was super frizzy and annoying.
So I went on to Youtube and searched for ways to grow my hair out and to salvage my damaged hair. I got some pretty good answers. These are the steps I took to help my hair.
1.) Stop washing your hair everyday.
"Hair is Fiber. Think of it as wool. The more you wash it the worst it's going to look."
Try to go from washing your hair everyday to every other day. Then try washing your hair every other day to washing your every 2-3 days. But depending on your hair type, your scalp, & hair texture, it's up to you how often should you be washing my hair. And in-between washes you can use dry-shampoo or what I prefer: baby powder, if you have an oily scalp.
2.) Stop using Heat
Heat( such as blow dryers, curling irons, or flat irons) is horrible for your hair. Heat tools take moisture out of your hair. That how the curling irons make your hair curly or how flat irons straighten your hair. So limit your heat use or better don't use heat at all. And alway use heat protectant. Heat Protect creates a barrier between the hair and the hot tool. I went a whole 5 months without heat and I really saw a difference.
3.) Don't use Chemicals on your hair
Limit or even better stop putting Chemical on your hair. It's terrible for your hair. So slow down on chemically straightening your hair or dying your hair.
4.) 'Dusting' or A Trim
Dusting is when you go through-out hair and cutting off your split ends. Split ends are deadly. The move up the shaft making your hair shorter, so even if your hair is growing the ends won't maintain because of the split ends.
Or if your too lazy to go throughout your hair and look at each strand for split ends, just go and cut off an inch to get rid of most of the split ends.
5.) Hair Masks(A God's Send)
I saw the most difference with Hair Mask. If your really struggling with frizzy, dull, and dry hair a really great Hair is what you need. I love the Macademia Deep Repair it helps so much. I love it smells amazing and it's the only hair product where the scent stays in my hair. I love it.
I also love making my own at home. One of my Favorites is 1 egg and 2-3 Table Spoons of Oliver Oil. This masks makes my hair so shiny and silky.
6.) Coconut Oil
This Oil is amazing. This product is what saved my hair. I buy mine at Walmart, it's very inexpensive and really effective. I apply it from Root to Ends and leave it in for at least an hour. Then I wash and condition. Coconut Oil has lots of Protein in it, and your hair is made of Protein. So its really good for your hair. But don't use it too much. Too much Protein is bad for your hair, so moderation is key.
