⚡️5 things that helped my hair grow⚡️ 1. Shampooing ▪️Is super important to get rid of all the build up to allow your hair to breath and grow! Give your hair its best chance to thrive for the next style. Co-washing is fine but not for every wash day. Shampoo your hair at least once a month. 2. Deep Conditioning w/ heat ▪️ once you have cleansed your hair it’s important to put that good nutrients back in your hair. Using heat allows the cuticle to accept the most product as possible 3. Protective styles ▪️I wear two /three strand twists 90% of the time which allows my ends to stay tucked away and safe. I can wear my hair in many styles and it’s also low manipulation! 4. Protein/ Moisture Balance ▪️figuring out your balance is super important. Depending on your porosity your hair will need more or less protein per wash day. High porosity will need more protein and low needs less. I incorporate protein in my hair once a month! If my hair needs protein my curls are less defined and mushy. 5. Frequent Trims ▪️get in a routine! Everyone’s hair grows at a different rate so my trims may be different from yours. The longer you go without a trim may require more to get cut off & more single strand knots. Single strand knots are frustrating and cause tangles and Unnecessary breakage. I get trims every 3-6 months. STAY ON TOP OF THINGS! #naturalhair #type4hair #type4kinksandcoils #blackgirlmagic #washday
