Long, short, thick, thin and or chemically processed, you can have healthy hair. What is healthy hair? It is hair in optimal condition. EVEN hair having had some sort of chemical process which has changed the texture and or color can be healthy hair. It just needs attentive care. In order to have chemically processed healthy hair you must first be aware of the things you are ingesting, foods, vitamins and medications these all play a vital part in the health of the hair. No matter the combination of chemical processes you have chosen to do to have done, healthy hair begins with what you put into your body. Food, vitamins and even medications can determine the hairs health. Consulting with your physician and or dermatologist is a great way to determine if your hair is not healthy due to an internal problem.Taking care of your scalp is a very close second in acquiring and keeping healthy hair. Part of scalp care requires us to be informed about what is being used on the hair and scalp, from the chemical processes to the home maintenance, procedures, tools and products. Knowing our natural hair texture, coarse, fine, thick, thin, kinky, wavy, straight, the categories and combinations go on….. but consult with your stylist become knowledgeable of what is in the products you are using on your hair so you know what does and does not work for you hair type. After you have done this you then need to carefully choose your hair styling tools. Brushes and combs are not all the same there is a wide range and tools used on the wrong hair type can be killer for the hair, causing short stubby breakage, split ends or even worse, balding. But when you use the right tools you may find that spending hours styling your hair is a thing of the past. Healthy hair styles a lot easier you’ll find that it has memory and body, no matter the texture. Split ends are going to come even when you are doing everything right but they do not have to be the hair destroyer. Regular trims keep the split ends from running up the hair shaft and causing you to have to cut more off than desired. On healthy hair in excellent condition, 1/8th to ½ inch should be trimmed every other month. Styling tools and products don’t always have to be expensive to get the job done but don’t be afraid to spend a little more when the product or tools is hands down the best. Some styling products have money back guarantees and all electric styling tools should have warranties. I hope you have noticed the theme for healthy hair and that is to be informed.-B. beautiful, mind, body, spirit.
Thank you for sharing such great information.. My hair in the middle seems to be so much shorter than the rest. I have switched to a softer relaxer because of the texture of my hair. The information on using the proper tools such as our combs and brushes good to know. Have a wonderful week!
