My Hair History

Okay, so basically the last time my mother cut my hair was when I was 2yrs old. She kept my hair natural most of the time unless there was a special occasion she would relax it then let it transition back to natural. I hated my natural hair not because it was ugly or anything but because it was just soooo damn painful. So when i turned 12 i was given the right to control what happens to my hair and I chose the relaxer route and have never turned back.
However I was young and ignorant really didn't know how to take care of my hair and it used to break so much.
Then i turned 14 and started experimenting with highlights dyes etc and yes, my hair got damaged.
I also used to get cute short bobs and trims to keep my hair shoulder length.
Then finally about 4 years ago in 2012 I decided to start my Healthy Relaxed Hair Journey.

10 ways to stop your hair from breaking and shedding

 Hey beautiful people. Hope you are all well. I know it has been a while but I'm back. So you know how sometimes you can tell your hair is growing,but you actually can't see the difference in length. It's most probably cause of all the shedding and breakage. Shedding also = thinning and I know some people don't want that at all. So I compiled this list of ways to stop your hair from shedding and breaking.

  1. Deep condition your hair. This helps your hair stay strong and stops it from shedding.
  2. Drink lots of water. Water is good for almost everything skin,hair you name it.
  3. Do not over brush or comb your hair. 
  4. When detangling your  hair do it in sections. Detangle damp hair not wet hair.
  5. Sleep with a silk scarf wrapped around your hair or sleep on a silk pillow. (I struggle with this.)
  6. Keep your hair and scalp moisturised at all times. Try moisturising your hair every other day. (I struggle with this too)
  7. Use correct comb or brush for your hair. ( I'll do a blog post on this.)
  8. Try by all means to stay away from using heat on your hair. Instead of blow drying your hair try air drying it when you have time. Use your straightener when you really really really need to. When you apply heat on your hair use a heat protector. I recommend these two but there are many out there.


  9. Protective styling. Braids, weaves, corn rows etc ( I'll do a blog post on protective styling soon)
  10.  Trim your ends. I know most people don't like this but it has to be done.


I'm so sorry for the silence. I will try post more regularly from now on. Thank you for visiting my page hope theses tips and products help you out.

XOX & Take good care of that hair.
