For most of us, we want a quick fix but when it comes to hair care, there’s no quick fix. You have to put in the work. Nothing screams healthy hair than good hair practices. Once there are good hair practices, the opposite exists too.

Bad hair practices such as keeping in protective styles for weeks on end, ALWAYS wearing wigs, not moisturizing well, installing protective styles back to back should be a thing of the past. Good hair practices and good products go hand in hand if the goal is to grow healthy hair. There are no short cuts. You have to put in the work.

Ditch your regular towel and replace it with a micro fibre towel after washing. Cotton towels pull on your hair. Detangle gently with your fingers or a wide tooth comb.

If you're fond of experimenting with dyes and harsh chemicals, you might want to slow down a bit.
