A lot of us struggle with our hair and you must have tried different local and foreign concoctions to grow your broken tresses, damaged edges and restore luster to your once shining mane. Fret no more as we have searched high and low for the following sure-fire things you can do to improve the health of your hair and keep it from shedding prematurely or breaking off.
No microfiber or towel drying. Contrary to popular belief, microfiber rips the hair out. It acts like velcro to our tresses. Towel drying frizzes the hair. Air-dry or use an old t-shirt. Never sleep without covering your hair. It’s more prone to tangling and breakage. Tie it up and use a satin scarf, bonnet and use a satin pillowcase; this locks in your hair’s moisture.
Eat a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids; it’s good for your hair and skin too, keeping both soft and pliable. Never comb/brush dry hair to style. Finger comb or wear hair in twist outs, twists, braids or braids out to minimise breakage.
