Hair Health

Hair is a women’s glory, or so I’ve heard my mother say. Hair is something of an obsession. We all want beautiful hair. The best thing to do to attain this is to keep it simple. You can spend a fortune on products and still be left wanting beautiful hair. The basic simple steps you can follow to achieve beautiful hairs are as follows; use good basic products, eat well and don’t over do it.

Good products do not have to be costly. The first and most empowering thing to be done is accept what you have. No matter the hair type you have, you’re best off accepting and working with it. If it’s straight, curly, thin, think or grey, enjoy that. There’s no use wishing and wanting for something you don’t have. Using chemical means to achieve other than what you have will only damage your hair, cost you a lot of time and money and still not attain the end goal. Your hair is what it is, accept it, be happy with it and move on enjoying more important things in life. Big bonus, the opposite sex over whelming likes natural hair over processed high maintenance hair. So relax buy yourself the simple products that work best for your hair type and save your energy for more tangible goals.

Simply put good healthy foods are good for your hair. We all know that junk food is called junk food for a good reason. Want your hair to look like junk, NO, well don’t eat it then. Good food is also very good for the exterior of your locks. I have dry hair and find olive oil to be a priceless commodity.

My hair is really dry, curly and red. I drench my locks with olive oil at least once a week and rinse it out with a goo

d conditioner for dry hair. I use shampoo only about once a month and I do so just to get the hair spray out I use on my bang area, on occasions. Other than that I condition my hair clean. It does need to be hydrated and often. I do this by rinsing well in the shower and conditioning only. Shampoo only dries my hair out and leaves it unmanageable.

Finally, avoid excessive color, perms and other harsh chemical products. The closer you allow your hair to be to its natural state, the more beautiful it will be. Take a moment today and look at children. Don’t they have great hair? It’s shiny, bouncy and just beautiful. Think for a moment of all the things they put on their hair. Hum, get the picture. Remember to be kind to your hair and not pulling, breaking or stressing it in day to day activities. Last but not least, for those of us with long hair, put it up in a gentle up do or pony tail at bedtime. Sweet Dreams…

Much Love and Success,
