The ABCs of Healthy Hair

Hello guys! It's been a while! I've finally found some time to make a new post for the readers of this blog. It's one that is very important to me. There was a time that I found myself very sick to the point that all my hair was falling out. It was one of the most traumatizing points in my life, but not I'm glad it happened because it helped me learn (the very hard way!) how to take care of my hair. I guess I got a second chance because I had to start over.
Here are some tips I've learned along the way. I'm not going to bombard you with A-Z though, that's overwhelming. (& I have yet to finish ;))

A 

Appreciate the hair on your head

            A lot of people like to use the term “good hair”. But the truth is, all hair is good hair, if you can grow any amount of hair on your head, it it good! Just because it’s straight or curly or a combination of the two (like me!) doesn’t mean your hair is not good. Embrace what God gave you and love yourself!

B

Biotin

            This is also known as vitamin H. Biotin helps your hair and nails grown. It is also great for your skin.  It’s very unlikely that you have a biotin deficiency because your body makes biotin; but you can take it in pill form or you can eat foods like swiss chard,  eggs and raspberries. You can put the swiss chard and berries in a smoothie if you’re not adventurous with food and don’t want to think about swiss chard

C 

Vitamin C

Having a Vitamin C deficiency can cause dry, dull, and weak hair that is prone to breakage .So Drink your OJ!

D 

Deep conditioning

            Conditioning the hair you already have is super important. Your hair is not going to look very long if the hair you worked so hair to grow keeps breaking off!  Conditioning puts moisture back into your hair. Most shampoos contain sulfates that strip your hair of moisture, and a good conditioner puts is back in. My favorite deep conditioner is Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle. I've tried other ones from different brands, but I keep coming back to this. It smells amazing and comes in a purple tube, and everyone knows that the best things in life are purple! This conditioner is also like four bucks, which is extra awesome!
