Shampoo Tip

Come on now! We are all victims of the herbal essence commercials! We all think when we shampoo our hair, we think we need to shampoo the entire head of hair and that is not the case. Please listen to your hair. With ethnic hair, the main part you should clean is your scalp and roots. By shampooing all of your hair, you are taking out the needed moisture out of your hair. I shampoo my hair once every two weeks unless I worked out that week. My hair works better with conditioner washes. We need moisture, moisture and more moisture. Now if you have oily hair, then you might can take the once a week shampoo wash. The main point is to listen to what your hair needs not do what everyone else does for their hair. We all have different textures and hair types. If your hair is breaking you might need a protein treatment and a moisturizing treatment to follow up with it. Protein treatments are determined by if you are relaxed or natural and how strong/weak your hair is. If your hair feels like straw, do a deep conditioning treatment and let it sit for 30-45 mins, half the time under heat. All in all, figure out what works best for you. Please remember to be kind to your tresses.
