Yearn for the perfect hair glow



     To all the beauties out there, maybe you've been told before, but I am telling you again that your hair is your glory. You have to make out time to care for it. We do love extensions as perfect substitutes, but no alternative is better than having a healthy hair. When your hair is healthy, you feel good and beautiful.
    You know your hair is healthy when it has it's natural thickness, doesn't break or lose it's colour. The length of your hair also proves its health but I would say that your hair doesn't have to get to the bra length or waist length for you to term it "healthy". It can be shoulder or chin length and still very beautiful. However, we can all attain a longer and more radiant hair, by giving it more attention and extra care. For starters here are some simple tips that serve as a reminder when dealing with your hair.
  • Sweeties you need to be faithful to one relaxer. Dark and lovely today, Dr. Miracle tomorrow will not work for you. Find one brand that works for you and stick to it. I've been using dark and lovely since I started growing my hair in 2006 and it works for me.
  • Do not retouch often. Once every quarter is just enough. If you're doing it every month, you would certainly weaken your hair.
  • You don't have to comb your natural hair every time or everyday. Some of us comb every two hours, Going to work in the morning, you comb it, lunch time you comb it again, going home after work..Lol. Once a day is enough. Use your fingers to straighten it out sometimes.
  • Excessive use of heat styling tools or hair gel and dye etc. We know that too much of everything is bad, and it applies to your hair as well.
  • Entrusting your hair to careless hair stylists. I went to the salon once and this lady just picked up my comb and went right into my roots pulling the comb out to the tips, and I'm like no way! I took the comb and did it myself, gently detangling the tips before getting to the root, and she watched me keenly. Nobody will care for your hair the way you would. So handle it yourself most times.
I would love to pause here for now, we have some much details when it comes to maintaining your natural hair. I'm still on it and I know you're in too.... *hugs*......
