So you’ve decided to take better care of your hair this year but you’re not sure how.
- Give your hot tools a break for a while. If you like sleek styles, opt for roller setting and wrapping your hair afterwards. That will make your hair look like you flat ironed it.
- Start reading the ingredient list on every hair product you buy: try to avoid products that contain mineral oil, petrolatum and lanolin.
- Learn to comb your hair the right way: start from the tips and then the middle before you get to the roots.
- Learn the basic steps/terminologies involved in healthy hair care:
- You should condition your hair before washing your hair. This is called prepooing.
- Wash your hair at least once in two weeks.
- Deep condition your hair after washing your hair. Do this every time you wash your hair.
- Realize that your hair needs to be moisturized regularly just the way your skin needs to moisturized.
- After you moisturize your hair, you should rub an oil or hair pomade on your hair.

Please I want to know how I can grow my hair. It’s natural and I do not like fixing or using attachment. I would also like to know those hair styles my natural hair can do.
Thank you.
Growing your hair takes patience. Most people’s hair grows about half an inch every month. The most important aspect about growing your hair is maintaining that half inch that comes in every month. To do this, you have to regularly condition your hair, moisturize it often and since you’re natural, comb it very gently. How short is your hair? That can determine the styles you can do. You can air dry your hair in twists or braids. This will give it a curly appearance.
pls my hair is always breaking what should i do, and each time i plait attached my front hair is always cutting
Dealing with breaking hair depends on what’s causing it. I’ll send you an email tomorrow please so we can try to decipher what’s wrong.
Can you kindly inbox your email address, I have a few questions to ask
