BASIC HAIR CARE TIPS 101

As women our HAIR forms an integral part of our appearance. As the saying goes a woman's hair is her pride and glory.it is also an indication of a persons health,beauty and youth. Most women love long, natural healthy hair but think it is impossible to grow long hair in Africa. It is very possible but i must admit this is hardwork and achievable only if you pay adequate attention to the needs of your hair like you do to other parts of your body and the results will astonish you.

Most of us women leave our hair care in the hands of other people all in the name of saloons. How many of our saloons in Ghana actually give us informed professional advice on how to take care of our hair after we have left the saloons and are in our homes ? Has it occurred to us that maybe many of these "HAIRSTYLIST" don't even know a lot about what they do? How many of us take it upon ourselves to research about how to keep our hair healthy even though we claim to be literates ? if we can't take care of our own HAIR who will ? Please note that this post is not meant to discredit anybody, i just want to draw our attention to the fact that if we can't take care of our priced possession(HAIR) do you think another person can or will?
Ladies lets do well to take care of our Hair. YES WE CAN. lol :)


I have listed below a couple of hair care tips that can aid and help in your journey to a healthy long hair.


Never shampoo your hair without using a conditioner.

Trim your hair once between 6 to 7 weeks to avoid split ends and bounce up hair.

Avoid pulling back your hair tightly as this weakens the root and it breaks easily.

Stimulate circulation of blood to your hair follicles by massaging your head with oil's that contains vitamin E.

Applying pure (virgin) coconut oil helps the hair to grow faster and healthier.

Regular Deep Conditioning treatments keep your hair in good shape.

Use heat protector products when styling your hair with heat.(flat irons and hair dryers).

After shampooing and before applying a conditioner, gently blot your hair with a towel to remove excess water. This helps the conditioner to penetrate your hair and prevents it from slipping.

When De-tangling hair, be sure to use wide tooth combs to avoid hair breakage.

Do hot oil treatments at least once a week to give your hair moisture and strength.

Always cover your hair with a satin or silk scarf before bed or alternatively sleep on satin pillow cases.cotton ones rip the hair off its oils and causes static hair growth.

Use of natural products like Amla,Castor,Argan, reeta and Shikakai are beneficial to hair growth.

Remember that your basic hair care routine should consist of the following:
• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Deep conditioner
• Protein treatment
. Hot oil treatment
