Literally though That is my number one tip, patience. You have to be persistent with these habits because a lot of people they want results like tomorrow No, this took me five years to heal my hair and to get it into 100% virgin state And I'm telling you it is worth it, so let's get into it. Numero uno: stop it Just stop it, all of it, okay Stop the dying Stop the bleaching stop the heat styling. There are millions of tutorials right here on YouTube, put no heat straight hair or no heat curls.
And when it Comes to bleaching and hair dye, there are actually tons of natural dyes out there that come from plants and Other raw materials that you can use Numero dos: oil your scalp Scalp massages are really important because they increase the stimulation on your scalp, more Nutrients are delivered to your hair and your scalp. It just leads to faster hair growth and a healthier scalp and for more benefits I recommend using oils. There are tons of different oils that all have very Special benefits. My personal favorite oil is jamaican black castor oil just because this has linolenic acid which helps for faster hair growth So do this before your shower So you can wash out the oil in the shower There are also tools that you can use to massage your scalp if you're feeling too lazy You know I've got this tool, and it's my favorite Numero........
????? Next tip. Stop it. Do not wash your hair every single day And it's actually very heavily endorsed mostly in the United States Not really anywhere else and the reason they do this is so that you can use more shampoo, run out faster and buy more shampoo If you look into the history of haircare It's actually recommended to wash your hair onceor two times a week. If you wash your hair every single day You are not allowing the sebum to build up.
Sebum is a protective oil That's created by our scalps to protect our scalp, it prevents bacterial growth. This right here This is day four hair, and I feel great. Brushes are evil. When it comes to detangling your hair I recommend your fingers or a wide tooth shower comb because it decreases your chances of breakage and Snagging and all that good jazz.
And I also never recommend You detangle dry hair just because it's in a more prone state to break. Do it when you have Conditioner in your hair in the shower. Treat yourself. There are two types of treatments that I always recommend And that's deep conditioning and protein treatments This is so important, and you really have to listen to your hair, and you know just be like *summons a horcrux* I deep condition my hair every single wash day Which is once a week because it just replenishes a lot of moisture to the hair To make sure that it doesn't break and to give it shine and moisture and softness and all that good stuff For protein treatments you can use plain Greek yogurt or coconut milk And that's gonna help to add a lot of protein and strength to your hair so that it doesn't break as much I really recommend this treatment for people have damaged hair from bleach or dye or relaxers Sulfate free and silicone free.
Please be conscious of the ingredients in the products that you use. You would be horrified If you saw that a lot of companies surprisingly put rubbing alcohol in their conditioner Yeah, I don't see how that makes sense. A lot of companies use sulfates. Which are incredibly harsh Detergents that are used in our laundry detergent and our dish soap and you're using that on your head There are lots of companies that use silicones Which create a non water-soluble barrier around the hair and causes it to build up It actually suffocates your hair.
Read the ingredients of the products you buy, it is so important There's this really cool website that I personally use when I'm questioning an ingredient. This woman has Everything laid out and explains everything about all the ingredients that you could possibly think of so if you ever want to look at more Information on the ingredient, I'll leave the link to that website down below D R Y I N G. You know that thing that your mom teaches you to like put your hair in a turban after the shower Yeah, stop doing that. The terry cloth fibers are very very Abrasive and absorbent and can cause a lot of frizz and breakage in your hair I use a microfiber towel Or you can use a cotton t-shirt And you can use this to squeeze your hair or scrunch it depending on your hair texture And this is way more gentle on your hair, way less breakage.
Cut it foo! Listen, we've all been there. Where we're all like *sigh* I really want long hair And then you have like three inches of split ends. Listen, you have to be realistic If you do not get regular trims, if your hair is damaged Those ends are gonna keep splitting. Healthy hair will always be better than long hair y'all.
So if your hair is damaged Please get regular trims and then practice healthy hair habits to prevent the formation of split ends Since I practice healthy hair habits I can trim my hair once a year and I'm good because I don't do things that prompt split ends to form. And Since I don't trim as much that allows my hair to grow so I can keep my length Protect it foo. Protect your hair in harsh environments, don't just leave your hair loose and not Pretreat it. For example, when I go snowboarding, just having my hair out and about is very damaging for the hair So what I do is I wet my hair I soak it in deep conditioner, then I put my hair into two braids And I wrap those two braids around my head And then I put on a wig cap on top of that and then I put on my beanie.
Same thing when I go swimming Before I go swimming I usually wet my hair, put deep conditioner in my hair, seal my ends with oil And I put them in two braids and then I go swimming with that. And same thing when I go hiking or when I go camping Alrighty so those are my ten healthy hair habits that helped me heal my hair And it is a long process, and you just need to be persistent and you need to be patient I've been on my hair journey for about seven years and Barely now this year is the healthiest my hair has ever been.
