Hair |  Taking Care Of It

When learning to take care of any hair there is a golden rule - getting your hair hydrated.  For those of you who have been following me for a while now...you have heard me say this over, and over again.  I can not express this enough and how important it is.  But the only way to achieve this is finding and using the proper hair care products.  When hair is properly taken care of it will not have split ends, it will not be dry or hard to comb.  Hair that is properly taken care of is easily managable, shiny, and hydrated. 

I would advocate that stroking your hair every night before going to bed is a very good thing to do for your hair.  It does not matter if your hair is relaxed or natural the practice of stroking your hair is a must.

One of the first things that should be done before doing anything else to your hair is the Hydrating Oil with Olive Oil and Vitamins by My Glory Hair Care Hydrating System.  This oil is ideal for your hair because it is formulated to give hair maximum hydration.  My Glory Hair Care Hydrating System knows that to achieve this, your hair needs more that just oil alone.  The oil must be accompanied by moisturizers and vitamins in order to penetrate the hair shaft and then the hair, and this is exactly what the My Glory Hydrating Oil does. You will be able to see and feel the difference after the first use and with continued use your hair will be absoulely beautiful.

I searched for a long time to find the right products that would work on my hair. I used My Glory on my hair when it was relaxed and it was beautiful.  And now that I am natural it is still beautiful. My hair does not shed, because it is not dry, and it does not have split ends which is a major cause of hair breakage and shedding.

I had to make my own products for my hair that would perform on my hair like I wanted them to.  I knew exactly what I wanted and needed and had to mix a little of this and a little of that to come up with the correct formula that would hydrate my hair, and now I want to share this amazing product with you.

The Long Hard Road

Do you agree with the statement that black women are obsessed with hair? Is this so-called obession the reason why the industry makes billions? If not then...what is it? I believe that black women instinctively know that our hair can grow, and it does not always have to be genetics. We don't know how to take care of our hair or know what to use on our hair to get it to grow. The practice that

black people use to do especially women and little girls was wash our hair once a month. Because most of us, during those times were getting our hair pressed/hot combed, and that was once a month. We should paractice keeping our hair cleaner. Women with natural hair can wash twice a week. Women with relaxed should wash their hair once a week. After we would get our hair pressed/hotcombed then we would slather our hair with grease. Grease is a lubricant not a moisturizer it prevents moisture from entering into the hair shaft, thus making our hair dry even after using grease. We mis-take delicate hair for nappy or bad hair...it is neither one, it is just dry, and when we comb or brush it; it snaps and breaks (you can actually hear it). Black hair grows out in a coil, it has to go thru seven layers of scalp, because the scalp is so thick it causes it to coil. If you want your hair to grow with a more straighter texture you would have to shave your head and scrape your scalp. I have never known anyone personally that has done this procedure, but it is very true. Since most of us are not going to go thru the process of having our scalps scraped we have to learn how to take care of our hair to make it thrive and grow.

One of the first steps is using the right products. The prodcuts you use on your hair should be as natural as you can get them. I just read an article recently that most shampoos are nothing but detergent and chemicals that strips our hair of much needed moisture. The shampoo should have more plant based ingredients that helps the hair by relaxing it and making it soft.

Another step to getting your hair to grow is to use more protective hair styles...meaning more up hairdos (visit http://mybbwo.com/profile/Fatima311 she has nice hair accessories for your hair for up-dos) if you have long hair or short hair cover your hair with a cute stylish hair coverings. You will be suprised at how well this protecitve process works for your hair. Before going to bed at night you should stroke your hair with a natural hair brush and tie it up with a silk cap. Do not retire to bed without tying your hair this is so damageing and drying to the hair. During the day for long or short hair you should wear a stylish covering on the hair or up-dos to protect it from being damaged by the element's of nature such as wind, cold weather, and the sun. Try not to wear your hair down because when you do this it causes you to comb your hair too often. This tugging and pulling on the hair is not good for it...so try to wear the hair covered or more in up-dos. I am speaking to women who have natural or relaxed hair you both can use the same process to get your hair under control.

I know that I keep saying this over and over and over again...Moisture, Moisture, Moisture our hair need Moisture. Our hair has to be infused with Moisture. It also needs to be groomed and conditioned with natural grooming comb and brushed day and night. Plastic combs and bushes should not be the grooming tools of choice. We should spend time and money on ourselves,

because we deserve the best, to look and feel our best from head to toe. If you would like to purchase your natural comb and brush visit http://lifeisabsolute.blogspot.com and order yours today. Please leave a comment.
