Optimum hair care

OMG Shukura your hair has grown so much! This is the response I get from so many of my family and friends that I have not seen in long time.The next question is ; How did you get it to grow so long? You must have that good hair! My response is always "Why yes I do have good hair its course nappy and afo textured . I love it! (if you haven't noticed I hate when people refer to straight hair has good hair) Then I tell them my secret......I take care of my hair! I moisturize, co- wash, and I very rarely use heat on my hair. But the single most important thing I do to my hair is Deep condition at least once a week. Curly, kinky and afro textured hair is by nature dry so it is very important that those of us with hair that falls into these category's pay special attention to our hair. Deep conditioning is one of the most important aspects of a kinky hair care regimen. Deep conditioning with heat is probably the best way to deep condition. Heat allows the hair shaft to swell and the cuticle to open and allow the conditioner inside. Deep conditioning not only improves the strength of the hair but it makes the hair more resilient and helps with length retention. All hair can benefit from deep conditioning but for black hair ,permed or natural,deep conditioning is a absolute must because deep conditioning restores the balance in the hair which stops breakage. So if you want long or just healthy hair, add deep conditioning to your regimen at least once a week. You will see the difference. Start today! until next time always be on the look out for your self inspired beauty! xoxo S.I.B
