Old Hair Habits vs. New Hair Habits

Sometimes you have to do different things to get different results. The hair regimen I have now is completely different from what I did when I was younger. My hair habits in previous years mostly consisted of things that I was always told to do that were not allowing me to retain any length.

Do
1.Use ouchless rubber bands
2.Use seamless combs
3.Try salon quality hair care lines.
4 Denman Brushes
5.Moisturize hair to protect ends and seal with a light oil.
6.Use a *silk hair scarf only*or silk pillowcases
7.Trim as needed
8.Use a ceramic flat iron
9.Use a ceramic blow dryer
10.Try doing your hair your self or going to
Upscale hair salons.
*Bonus- Try roller setting and protective styling to minimize direct heat usage.

Don’t
1.Use regular rubber brands
2.Use regular combs- rips through your hair and causes breakage.
3.Only use drugstore hair care products.
4.Use regular Brushes(unless they have soft bristles)
5.Use hair grease- weighs hair down, does not absorb well and can cause build up.
6.Use any old scarf that is laying around the house.
7.Trimming every appointment- unless you have split ends, you will never see any length if you are constantly cutting. The popular myth is cutting will make hair grow- Wrong! Hair grows from your scalp not from your ends.
8.Use stove irons
9.Use a regular blow dryer
10.Go to unprofessional salons that require all day visits and have stylists that provide bad service.
*Bonus- Using direct heat on a consistent basis is damaging. Give your hair a rest.
