6 Steps to Healty Hair Growth

Step 1.  Shampoo hair weekly to remove excessive oils and build ups.  Contrary to popular belief, dirty hair does not grow faster.  Dirt clogs your hair follicle.  Excessive blockage can cause hair loss.

Step 2.  Condition hair after each shampoo.  Remember, shampooing strips the hair of oil/moisture.  Conditioner replaces lost moisture.

Step 3.  Trim split ends every 8 to 12 weeks (as needed).  If you do not trim them, the split will continue up the hair shaft making it weak, eventually leading to breakage.

Step 4.  Deep Condition hair once (1) a month to help seal in moisture, eliminating dry, brittle hair.

Step 5.  Limit the amount of heat you apply to your hair.  Less is better.  Heat causes the hair to become dry and brittle.

Step 6.  Avoid overlapping chemical processes i.e. relaxers, permanent hair color.  If possible, have these services performed by a professional to avoid over processing.

By following these 6 steps, you are well on your way to a healthy head of hair!
