Hair We Come
Hi ladies,
I know this is a very dear topic to many of us. I know we have all experienced bad hair days! When we are having bad hair days, even a simple trip to the nearest shop is a nightmare because of the fear of bumping into someone we know!
I remember once listening to a lady speak about her hair experiences and she said that for the longest time ever her hair controlled her life! Her life revolved around the state her hair. It got so bad that she opted to shave off her hair and she now spots a lovely short afro! She says it is so much easier and cheaper! Well, I am not saying we should go and shave off our hair, I just wanted to highlight some of the experiences some ladies have gone through regarding their hair.
Hair stylists sometimes make mistakes, but we ladies probably make more mistakes than they do. Here are a few common ones we make and also some tips I came across:
Following the latest trends – We all know this, a lady sees her favorite celebrity with a particular hairstyle and she goes to the salon, picture in hand and wants the exact same hairdo! Chances are you will not look like her. Secondly, your lifestyle may not suit the hairstyle. Ladies, lets not get carried away by trends all the time. Wear hair styles that complement you and bring out your natural beauty. What works for her may not necessarily work for you.
Towel drying at home – For us women who like washing our hair at home, we make the mistake of rubbing it vigorously instead of blotting it. Rubbing hair tangles and it ends up frizzy which causes it to break even more.
Research shows that night time is the ideal time for hair replenishing and nourishing, as your hair is more receptive to care. This is the ideal time to give your hair that deep conditioning oil treatment.
Cutting hair - It is tempting to want to cut your hair. However, ensure your stylist is a professional because a small mistake can end up with hair loss. Always get a professional to cut or trim your hair.
Wrap your head in a scarf or any cloth fabric so that your tresses dont get tangled up while sleeping.
Sleeping on a satin or silk pillow case or a scarf can help prevent split ends or hair breakage.
Shampooing hair – this seems cool but the type of shampoo you use depends on your hair texture and style (such as blow out or natural short hair among other hair styles) Beware washing hair daily will make it loose its natural shiny look infact during my research for this article, one hairstylist I talked to says it is best not to wash hair more than once a week, as leaving natural oils on the hair helps keep it in good condition.
Your personal style - the most common hairstyle is the pony tail, sometimes with the use of gel. Avoid doing this regularly. Tight hair styles leads to breaking of the hair line making it hard to manage long hair. Gel is okay once in a awhile.
Changing hair stylists – Stick to one hairstylist instead of changing from one stylist to the next. Your personal hairstylist will be familiar with your hair and scalp and will always know how to treat it.
So ladies, I hope this basic hair tips are beneficial to you. Let your hair down once in awhile and let it breathe, love your hair and take care of it. Always remember
you are beautiful!
