hair maintenance/treatment

It is known that processed african hair result to severe hair breakage or frizzy hair, going through that phase myself; i decided to research on the best hair products, bad ingredients for the hair and natural ways to keep the hair glowing and healthy. Before i go into all that,we ought to know that the blacks hair texture is different from the whites hair and most hair products available are most suited for the whites. The black hair texture is wool-like and rough,at its best when kept natural and not chemically processed. By chemically processed hairs i mean the relaxed and coloured hairs. Natural ingredients are always best for the african hair texture, ingredients such as shea butter, olive oil, hair mayonnaise,eggs and many more. When the hair is kept natural, it has les occurrences of breakage or dryness as it is known that most chemicals in hair product leads to dryness. After my research, i came up with 10 best ways to treat processed hair.
To grow hair:
First of all, keep your hair moisturized. This is as simple as wetting it in the shower, or wetting your hands and running them through your hair. DO NOT buy any moisturizer that has MINERAL OIL or PETROLATUM! care free curl gold and s-curl are popular moisturizers. Do NOT use that Pink lotion!
2)use a wide tooth comb(once a day or less)to avoid hairs breaking.
3)Wash your hair at least once a week with shampoo. I wash mine with JUST conditioner sometimes too.
4)after shampooing, DEEP CONDITION by putting condish on your hair and putting a plastic cap over it and leaving it on for 15-30 minutes
5)massage your scalp daily
6)do not put any oils or "grease" on your scalp. Same goes with hair.
7)Try to relax your hair less. Every 8-10 weeks or longer!
8)You know your hair is breaking because if you look on the ends you will not see a white bulb. If you DO see a withe thing on the end, that is just shed hair. You shed 100 hairs a day, so it's all good. If it IS broken hair, do a protein treatment (use Organic Roots Stimulator mayonaisse or Aphogee 2 minute)
9)Try to put your hair up. Or protect your hair by leaving it in braids. DO NOT LEAVE BRAIDS IN TOO LONG or you will loose your hairline!
10) Its best to apply one or maximum of two treatments on your hair at once as application of multiple treatments also leads to hair breakage!
