Beauty Tips

Here are some of the essential points that you may want to know when it comes to growing long hair.

​

  • Hair growth is relative to the overall health of your scalp. When you are healthy, then chances are your hair will grow faster and healthier.  What you eat and drink affects the quality of your hair in as much as it affects your body.  People with deficiencies in vitamins and minerals are likely to have thin, brittle hair quality.
  • Scalp massage.  This may be something new to you, but a massage on the scalp once in a while can actually help in faster hair growth.
  • Stay away from heat of the sun.  You stay away from heat not because it slows down the hair growth.  You stay away from heat because it’s bad for your hair, and you’re likely going to get split-ends.  And when you have split-ends, then you need to trim your hair every now and then, limiting your chances for a longer hair.
  • Moisturize your hair.  One of the key reasons for a faster hair growth is when the hair is well moisturized.  Hair tends to get dry very easily, and experts advise to moisturize it.
  • Don’t get stress!  Stress is indeed a huge factor in hair quality.  It does not only slow hair growth, it can also lead to hair loss!

Growing Long Hair 

  • Be sure that it is in a HEALTHY CONDITION, this means treating your hair to a deep conditioner at least a week before braiding it.
  • Relaxing one’s hair before putting them in braids is a personal choice that must be carefully considered.  If you choose to relax your hair (either to make it easier to manage, or meet the texture of your extensions) be sure to do so at least two weeks before braiding your hair, it is NOT ADVISABLE to relax your hair and braid them on the SAME DAY. This is because relaxing one’s hair often leaves it weak and putting your hair in individual braids, goes one to damage the already fragile hair.
  • If your hair is often overworked, stressed and weak, give yourself a hot oil treatment; preferably one with Vitamin E. Vitamin E is formulated to treat dry, stressed and damaged hair, by re-constructing the bonds that hold the hair strands.
  • Choose your style and extensions carefully!

When it comes to picking a hairstyle, remember what works for another will not necessarily work for you.  If your hair is brittle and weak, putting them in micro braids will only further damage your hairline.
When choosing extensions be informed of the following:
i.      Human hair extensions tend to hold more moisture, while synthetic hair tends to strip hair of moisture, so sure to always moisturize when wearing synthetic hair.

Before You Get Your Hair Braided 

While Your Hair Is Braided

  •  be sure to keep your hair moisturized:When hair is in braids, it often loses its moisture, making it easier to fall out. To help seal in moisture, remember to spritz hair with store bought braid sprays or a concoction of you own.

i.      You can create your own mixture by mixing oils like Jojoba, Olive, with water and glycerin.

​

Pay attention to braid BUILD-UP and NEW Growth This usually happens when you have used to0 much product and your hair knots up at the roots after the emergence of new growth. At the site of build-up, simply take out old braids and re-braid, doing so often ensures your braid is always looking fresh



Remember to keep your  scalp clean

Just because your hair is in braids does not mean you should stop cleaning  it. One easy way to wash your hair and maintain the style is to wash it with diluted shampoo while in the shower. Massage your scalp to release the debris, move along to the rest of your hair, and be careful not to tug on your hair too much. Don’t forget to condition your hair after washing, this can be achieved with the help of a leave-in conditioner.
 

Cover your braids before you sleep:
Whether it is a hair net or silk scarf, it is important to protect your braids from loosening while you sleep by covering it.
