How well do you take care of your hair?

What is your daily "hair routine"?



I usually brush my hair at least 20 times on each side



and lightly spray it with a protectant before straightening



my hair. And I shower every 2-3 days to help



maintain the natural oils in my hair. Then at night



I usually brush it a lot to keep it soft and knot-free.



What do you all do?

I comb my hair every morning. I also use a heat protection spray(TreSemmme) before I heat style. I wash my hair every 2-3 days, like you do. I deep condition once a week. I also use a clarifying shampoo every once in a while to clean my hair from all the products I've use(Frederic Fekkai Apple Cider Clarifying shampoo). I use boar bristle brushes, because Sephora and Marie Claire says they're are the best for distributing natural oils and making hair soft, which they definetely are. I also sleep on a silk pillow because that prevents hair from getting lots of tangles while sleeping. I also try not to use my straightener a lot, and I also air dry my hair when I can/have time to.



I take good care of my hair! :]

Hmm...I don't honestly do a lot to take care of my hair because naturally it's very healthy. However, since I dye and bleach quite often (every few weeks at least) I do use Aussie 3-Minute Miracle especially after I process my hair. Other than that, I really don't need to do much to keep my hair looking nice, other than wash it at least every 2 days, because otherwise it can start to get a bit oily.



How well do you take care of your hair?

this is my routine that i have been sharing with others.....



Currently i have long hair and have been learning alot so...



i do not have a relaxer i stopped getting them 5 years ago ( and i've only have 3 relaxers in my life time so this is all natural)



1. The shampoo, unfortunately many black women are using shampoos with alcohol and petroleum jelly. step away from them. Use Aveda's shampoo.. specifically the name is Brilliant...go to the website. I use it, i love it, it mouisterizes my hair and the products are natural. i have also heard that KeraCare is good.



2. Okay, step two condition it and then it is time to comb it out, Do not use a brush on you hair when it is wet,,it will hate you for it then break off in revenge. Put your your sections use a big tooth comb, to untangle it



3. Do a hot oil treatment atleast once a month with extra virgin olive oil...repeat..EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil..not the regular stuff. unfortunately i have yet to take this step however my hair is doing great.



4. Okay on the daily basis you need to pay close attention to your hair...i recommend conditioning your scalp(3-4 times a week) and your ends(everyday) so that they will not get dry and unhealthy Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction ( in other words do not use grease) it does so much harm to your hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural oils



jojoba oi, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, emu oil, coconut oil...all these natural oils and more love you..i promise.



I also use Aveda's Brilliant ( the name of the brand) emollient for my ends.



5. Next,,if you want your hair straight but still be natural it is time to get a freakin good flat iron.,i have the Chi..it does the job but I recommend getting the Sedu because of the good reviews. make sure to protect your hair..i have so thermal protector from Aveda.



6. If you have a relaxer ( i have heard that Mizani and Affirm are the best relaxers) don't continue to relaxer all your hair everytime you go to the salon..just the new growth and try to stretch relaxers as long as possible.



7. You do not need to trim your hair everytime you go to the salon maybe every 3 to 6 months.



8. Wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf to prevent damage before you go to bed.



9. Eat healthy, drink lots of water,



10 take multivitamins, and fish oil pills you can get from GNC.



Follow these steps and life will be good..the best part about flat iron (which i do once a week or every two weeks not everday since it will kill your hair) is that it is not stringy but thick and healthy, yet straight and light enough to blow in the wind.
