What are your hair goals

         

  The overall goal is to achieve growth and maintain healthy hair for my daughter and myself. There are a few essential steps one must take to get to this goal.

1. Patience: There are no magic pill or quick fixes to attain rapid growth. The secret to hair growth start with one primary factor and that is a healthy scalp. It is very important to maintain as much moisture as possible, you can do so by using moisture retention shampoo, moisturize your scalp a few times for the week, pre-poo with a natural oil, and cover your hair at night with a satin cap.
2. Products: Why is it important to use products that are sulfate free? Sulfate is a salt or ester of sulfuric acid which creates that thick rich lather that most women desire. However it strips the hair of its natural oils, which can later cause dryness and breakage.  
3. TLC:  A little tender love and care goes along way. Every now and then it is essential to massage your scalp for a few minutes, a good massage stimulates the hair follicles, it helps in strengthening of the hair roots and nourishing the hair shafts by spreading the natural oil. 

So remember to be patience and don't give up because anything worth having is worth working for.  

Know your hair type

What's your hair type

                                                                                                                                                                              The chart above shows some of the different curl patterns which can be broken down into three types of hair; wavy, curly, or kinky. It is important to know and understand your hair type. It’s good to know which product best fits your hair and which product your hair reacts to. 2a through 2c are wavy hair type, 3a through 3c are curly, and 4a through 4c are kinky. Curly hair tends to have bigger and bouncier curls vs. kinky hair which is smaller in diameter, coiled tightly, and tend to be drier. No matter your hair type, it is important to cleanse it with sulfate free products, personally I prefer to use shampoo with moisture retention. Do some type of pre-poo / co-wash regiment, detangle with a wide tooth comb, moisturize your scalp with any natural oil, pudding, or butter of your choice, and cover your hair with a satin or silk scarf before bed. WHAT IS YOUR HAIR TYPE?
