Do you desire long healthy hair? Have you been trying for years to grow your hair? I'm not talking about long raggedy hair that looks like it's about to fall out of your scalp. I'm talking about luscious, gorgeous, and healthy hair that makes others stand at attention when you walk by. Well, here are some tips to help you start your journey to healthy long hair.

Hair growth for Relaxed Hair

HAIR TIPS FOR GROWING HEALTHY RELAXED HAIR:

1- SHAMPOO:

Shampoo with a conditioning shampoo. Keep the hair nice & clean.

2- CONDITION:

Use a moisturizing conditioner to help keep the hair from drying out. Make sure to be careful when detangling the hair. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle, 

IMPORTANT:
Definitely use a conditioner after shampooing your hair. Some people think just because the shampoo said conditioning, that they don't need a conditioner- that is not true: BE SURE TO CONDITION. 

3- MINIMIZE THE USE OF HEAT APPLIANCES:

Don't kill your hair with excessive use of the blow dryer. You should not overuse flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers.

Don't overuse heat appliances

Even though they help you achieve beautiful styles, overuse can cause the hair to dry out and start breakage. If the hair falls off your head, you won't be able to style it anymore. 

Therefore, start healthy hair habits before it's too late. Try getting an Updo style; such as a donut, bun, stuffed twist, sew-ins or etc. to give your hair a break from the heat appliances.

4- ELIMINATE OVER PROCESSING:

Try not to over-process your hair by getting relaxers or permanent color before it's enough new growth. Premature chemical services are not healthy for the hair.

Most people wait at least 6 weeks between relaxers. There are some that can go longer with proper conditioning and moisturizing of the hair, but be careful and love your tresses. 

Make sure you wait at least 2 weeks before getting permanent color if you just got a relaxer. Please don't over process those beautiful tresses. It's best to get a professional to do these chemical services because they are trained to do it the proper way. 

5- TRIM HAIR:

You should occasionally get the ends trimmed to keep it from splitting up the hair shaft. Just as a plant needs pruning, your hair needs trimming to keep the hair growing healthy & long. 

There is a difference between trim & cut, but if you don't examine the ends & keep them neatly trimmed, eventually you may need a cut. Therefore, let's take preventive measures & keep the healthy hair maintained by trimming the split ends.

6- GET PROPER NUTRITION:

We all need proper nutrition for our bodies to function right. Our hair also needs proper nutrition, as well. You may wonder what vitamin deficiency causes hair loss and breakage?

Well, we need various vitamins for hair health and growth; such as 

• protein
• biotin
• vitamin A
• & other vitamins. 

If our bodies have an inadequate amount of these vitamins, the hair may start to starve & deteriorate. You should try to get your nutrition for hair breakage from a nutritious food source. Drink plenty of water. Try eating fruits & vegetables every day. If you are still not getting enough, talk to your doctor about the best vitamin supplements for you. 

7- EXERCISE:

We must keep our body in shape, not only for the body to look good, but for it to function correctly, as well. If our bodies are sickly, the hair will become sickly as well.  There are various types of fitness routines; such as yoga, cardio, and etc. You should reap the benefits of exercise by finding out a great workout routine for your healthcare needs from your doctor.

So properly condition and moisturize the hair, eat right, exercise, get hair trimmed, minimize heat use; as well as, eliminate over-processing. 

You can do it. You know the saying, "LONG HAIR, DONT CARE"! Wishing you a prosperous life and a blessed long hair journey. If you need my hair care services, feel free to let me know.
