Step 1:Brush your hair before you jump in the shower. Get a good brush with natural hair bristles; they’re worth the money. When you brush your hair you prevent it from getting tangled when you wash it.
Step 2: Rinse your hair with warm water, not too hot because that can dry out your scalp too. Make sure you rinse it good to remove any product from your hair.
Step 3: Put a small amount of shampoo on your hand, you only need about a dime to a quarter’s worth. Begin applying it to the ends of your hair, start at the bottom and work your way up. Then massage your scalp and rinse off.
Step 4: Just like with the shampoo, start with the ends of your hair. Never apply shampoo or conditioner directly on your hair because that will clog up your hair follicles and prevent it from growing.
Step 5: Use a hair treatment once a week, you can easily buy a hair mask or even put avocado, mayonnaise or coconut oil to maintain your hair healthy and shiny. Ask your hairstylist what type of hair conditioning treatment works best for you. Usually you will need one every three months.
Step 6: Dry your hair with a towel first by patting your hair dry. If you’re using a blow dryer, make sure you don’t put in on high heat, especially if you have fine hair, curly hair, or color-treated hair. Use a heat-protection spray when blow drying. This also protects your hair from environmental factors like the sun, air, and cold. Use this every day.
Step 7: When styling your hair with heat using a flat or curling iron, just like with blow-drying make sure you use a heat-protection spray that works best with your hair. Talk to your hairstylist and ask him to reccomend something for your type of hair. You can also read the label and reviews of products to see how well they will work for your type of hair.
Many times we cut our hair thinking that this will make our hair longer, but this is a myth. You are actually adding months to your growing time, instead worry about your scalp. A clean scalp and massaging your scalp regularly will allow your hair to grow faster.
