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.

Just Because Its' Black...Don't Mean Its Nappy

For so many years, and even until this day black people believe that we have nappy hair. And for years, and years we believed that there was nothing that could be done about your (so called) nappy hair... but to use harsh chemicals on hair that was never meant to experience such treatment. And yet these chemicals are welcomed into our home as we would welcome a visiting favorite relative. For whatever reason it seems as if we don't mind the harm that is being done by these chemicals, and really our reaction should be the opposite...we should mind this. The chemicals are doing more harm than good drying out and damaging our beautiful, delicate and different hair. Our hair grows out in a coil and we are trying to use a straight tooth comb on coils. Have you seen a coil lately, well let me post a picture of one for you; to give you a better idea of what we are dealing with.

This is and exmple of our hair I know the picture is large, but I am going to leave it this size so that we, you, me can see what our hair looks like. And also that we will never again make the mistake and call our hair nappy. Another thing that we say about one another is the term every nation standing to itself. And yes I was once ingorant too and laughed at our people whose hair looked like that (I am a shamed): But now that I have a better understanding of what the problem is and was, and that the problem can also be fixed, I know longer laugh when I see this:) Whenever you see our hair in this condition, where the coil is coiled so tight, that means that that persons hair is very, very dry and thin and their hair needs to be hydrated (read the article on Hydrated vs. Moisturized). If you notice something about knowledge you can have all the knowledge in the world, but until you understand that knowledge you will not be able to apply it properly. I made the above statement because I want us to began to understand ourselves and apply the knowledge properly.

Madam C.J. Walker had an idea which helped her to gain knowledge to apply a hot comb to straighten out these coils. And that was a God send to a peoople who seemed to have hopeless hair. But the hot comb had a flaw, and that flaw was that it could not repel moisture. If the weather held up you could go two weeks with no chance of rain :) do you remember those days. But if we only had the knowledge of how to take care of our natural hair then and knew the difference between a coils and naps we would be that much further ahead with black haircare.

We can have versatile hair without all the harsh chemicals that damage our hair and strip it of the much needed hydration it need in order to be healthy and have a shine so bright that it would actually brighten up the darkness night. We have to come to know that these chemicals seeps into our blood stream thru our pores and poison our blood. So lets learn, so that we can grow.
