Hair Breakage!

Hair Breakage

Hair breakage! Everyone has this problem at some point, so how do you prevent pushing your hair to The Breaking Point! Here are a few tips to keep your hair Triched Out!

1. Learn to shampoo your hair properly! You can section it if you need to, if your hair is too thick that may help. You want to eliminate the detangling you usually have after, during the shampoo. Shampoos containing moisture and detangling agents are great to accomplish this.

2. Thoroughly condition! You want to saturate your hair from the ends to root. When combing condition through make sure you use a WIDE TOOTH comb. Always remember to start combing from the ends working your way up as if you’re detangling.

3. Deep Conditioners and Hot Oil Treatments are essential! Let the conditioner sit, by covering it with a plastic cap along with sitting under a dryer for a few minutes. This process can change the life of your hair.  Adding drops of your favorite oil to the mixture can instantly infuse strands with extra moisture.  But if you’re like me and don’t like dryers you can just sit with the plastic cap for maybe about 30-60 minutes.

4. Heat! You want to keep heat to a minimum. Blow dryers, flat irons, wands, etc., use them in moderation. And take precaution in blow drying, damp hair is more prone to break if not handled properly. Flat irons or any other thermal styling tools can be used but they should only be used once a week or so and be sure to use them at the appropriate temperature for your hair. Also, remember to always use some heat protectant spray as well as a little oil to coat and protect your strands when you apply any type of heat to your hair.

5. Trims!!!! Trimming hair about every six weeks can help aid you in your hair growth. Split ends are like the plague, and you don’t want them to invade.  Snipping them is the only way to prevent the already damaged end from affecting the rest of your strands with the possibility of stunting the growth of your hair. Trimming your hair, as needed, will help keep it looking and feeling healthy.

These tips can help you have and maintain the Triched Out hair you desire.
