HAIR HEALTH 101: Lesson One- basic care.

Many kids don’t learn how to properly care for their hair, even adults sometimes don’t know.

Let me change that.

•Shampoo twice.

- one to clean the scalp.

- one to clean the hair on the scalp.

•Only condition the ends.

- make sure the conditioner gets as soapy as the shampoo.

- leave it in for a minute.

- RINSE OUT IN COLD WATER. (Hot water strips the layers and makes it easier for ends to split.

- rinse out thoroughly until hair isn’t slick.

•Invest in oils and hair masks.

-Hair masks are also vital to hair care, there are multiple ones for multiple functions.

-Oils are great for both scalp and hair needs. There are many oils you can use for your hair. (This will be made into another post.)

•NO HEAT. NO NO HEAT.

-This is perhaps the most important point of this post. Do not use heat on your hair religiously. A couple times for special occasions is okay, but everyday use of heat will kill your hair.

-Do your best to air dry your hair. (Air drying leading to oily hair quicker is a myth!)

-Of course you may use heat, but do not rely on it for every day use. In fact the curls in this very post are heatless. (I’ll make a tutorial post later.)

*Remember all hair types are different. Every head has different hair. Be patient while finding your routine.*
