How I restored my hair.

So, the first steps I took in my hair journey where

1. Threw away the dyes.I stopped dying my hair and fell in love with my black hair. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with highlights and dying your hair, but that can damage your hair if  the wrong product is used or if u don't know how to take care of dyed hair, which leads to my next point... 
2. Deep conditioning Deep conditioning and some more deep conditioning. The best thing you can do for your hair is deep conditioning it regularly ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE DYED HAIR. Deep conditioning helps strengthen your hair. I try deep condition my hair every time I shampoo it especially when I am about to weave or braid my hair. I usually do this at home by myself. These are the products I usually use you can get them almost anywhere.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. The next step is to always keep your scalp and hair moisturized (I struggle with this).Find a moisturizer that best suits you.I use the Olive Oil Sheen Spray.
   
4. One of the things I stopped doing was DIY (do it yourself) relaxing.I found a good salon where I get my hair relaxed.(Some people are really good at doing their own hair but its not for everyone) Oh, I use Dark and Lovely relaxer I tried Olive Oil once and it didn't work well for me. The correct way your hair should be relaxed is by only putting relaxer on your roots/growth not on the hair that's already straight. How many times should  one relax their hair a year????? 3 or 4 times a year depending on how fast your hair grows.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Hair Irons and Blow dryers are your enemy. Too much of anything can make you sick, too much heat will make your hair sick. I stopped over using heat. I only use my hair iron and blow dryer when I really really need to.
6. And finally we have African hair we are not white our hair needs protective styling - braids, weaves,cornrows etc those are your friends (When they are done the right way and not damaging your hairline that is.) I try not to go more than two weeks with my real hair, Remember when i said my hair broke last year it was because went about 5 weeks with my hair loose in winter. (I have learnt from my mistake hope you learn too.) I also try to not keep my hairstyles for too long braids 6-8 weeks and weaves about a month.

Yeah, I think that's about it. Oh and most of these tips apply to natural hair too, except for the relaxer one lol.

Thank you for visiting my page hope theses tips and products help you out.

XOX & Take good care of that hair.
