What Is The Best Protective Style For Your Hair?

By
There is so much hype about protective styling as well as misconceptions about it. 

We have unique genetic make up, texture, strands, density and live in different environment. What will work for me might not work for you. However, there is one particular style that works so well for both natural and relaxed hair. I've seen a lot of YouTubers and bloggers who hardly use extensions yet are able to retain length.

Today's post is dedicated to hair buns! I always advise those beginning their hair journey to fall on this protective style for many reasons

*Access to your hair and scalp daily
*Moisturizing is easier
*Less damage to edges
*Ability to practice and use different techniques.
*Cost effective
*Requires less time and effort


Another observation is those who use extensions are mainly those who've mastered their routines and know the CORRECT way to use these extensions, especially wigs! Therefore, if you've just started your hair journey, go easy on extensions!

When you wear buns, it allows you to also play around with your wash day. You are able to use a variety of products and techniques since you have access to your hair and scalp.

Lastly, buns still keep your ends protected hence you still retain so much length!

Give buns a try!

How To Grow From Thin To Thick Relaxed Hair (Part 2)

In the first article about growing from thin to thick relaxed hair, I mentioned doing stretches among the tips. In this article, I'll be adding more tips I've gained over the past few months. 1. Relax only the new growth! That's the easiest way to maintain thick relaxed hair! 2. Check that small tooth comb! During relaxer application, the combing can thin out your hair. What I do is to either let them use only fingers to apply and massage or when using the comb, they do a few passes and I don't sit down again for the hair to process. 3. Relaxer run off! When washing out the relaxer, whatever touches the already relaxed hair during the rinsing out can still relax the hair and cause dryness, breakage and thinning! This is even more of a problem for those with longer hair. 4. Incorporate ayuverdic herbs like amla, Brahmi and others to help with the thickness. Every Ayurveda herb has its benefits and rotating them in your regimen will enhance the benefits! 5. Diet! You are

 What happens when you want to incorporate prepoo, tea rinse, hair mask, and other treatments in one wash? Let this guide you. 1. Choose the prepoo product you want to use. If you want to use oils, apply them and leave them overnight or for several hours. You may use coconut oil or olive oil. If you want to use honey, you can still add oils to it and prepoo.

Some find this method more effective so experiment with it for a while to see if to works for you. You can still add a few oils to the deep conditioner or hair masque and then prepoo with it. When you are done with  the prepoo, shampoo the hair. 2. If your pre shampoo treatment was oils, shampoo the hair and apply your hair masque eg Ayurveda hair masque or store bought masque.
