Old Habits Die Hard


So girls, I have some bad news. I haven't been so fly in terms of how I've been treating my natural hair. I tried to moniter the overall progress of the lengthof my hair but in the process did some serious damage. So, I had to cut my hair in a itty bitty chitty bang before I got a new weave. Girls this time I got a 20' light brown weave ( that I alway rinse to dark brown) . OMG what a process! I had to take out my old weave, detangle my three month old cornrows get my hair washed rebraided and resown with the new hair. Wheeeew!! It was a lot but well worth it! I have been researching what experts say in regards to presearving the quality of ones hair while still getting that heated bone straight style we all crave. They say you must always use a sunscreen for your hair, use a hair mask or protein treatment weekly. When using heated tools opt for those that have a ionic heating method and authentic ceramic plates. and use a heat protectant. Also they said to deep condition bi-weekly while being sure that your selected conditoner has either creatine or keratine as the active ingrediant to avoid dryness and promote strength as well as softness.
