Have you EVER worn extensions? Have you ever worn a weave? or maybe you wear a wig...I know sometimes it's easy to throw some braids in or to just leave them...or put in a weave and forget you have your own hair underneath. But if you ever want to have your OWN beautiful healthy hair, you have to take care of those braid extensions and continue to take care of you own hair under the weave or wig.Braid extensions should be washed, deep conditioned and moisturized regularly. They should also be stripped of the drying chemical they contain (my book gives details of how to do this and keep your braids neat). Also, if you sit down to get your hair braided and it feels too tight...either tell your braider or DO NOT CONTINUE getting it done. Braids that are too tight cause traction alopecia (thinning edges or bald spots from tight hair styles)If you wear weave do NOT get it bonded in...HAIR GLUE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND! I doesn't matter if you have bonding glue remover...the strong chemicals in bonding glue can cause an allergic reaction and take out your hair in an instant (I'm talking from experience). Your weave should be braided in, with braids that are not too tight. Weave with a good quality human hair, so that you can still wash, condtion and moisturize it regularly with your own hair.Remove wigs or "phony ponies" and keep the hair clean (both your hair and the wig or ponytail). Sweat and the outside element can cause bacteria in the wig and if you do not remove it regularly or wash the hair, you may be at risk for a fungi invasion that WILL TAKE YOUR HAIR OUT!
Thanks..You will LOVE them...My moisturizers actually double as body butters... I didn't know that until my customers kept telling me they use them all over...lol
