LOVING YOUR HAIR........

     Our hair in all its diverse textures- from kinky to curly to wavy to straight - is truly one of the marvels of our ethnicity. Whether we celebrate the rhythm of our natural coils or opt for straighter styles, our options are greater than ever. Know your hair, the TLC your mane needs to stay healthy and luscious, and you can make everyday a good hair day.
      To keep hair healthy and looking great, you have to know its strengths and weaknesses, what stresses it, and what it can and cannot do. Knowledge is power-and the more you know about the true nature and structure of your hair, the healthier it will become and the better you will look and feel.



BASIC HAIR CARE TIPS TO KNOW:

* Increase your use of moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to counteract the dehydration that is caused by the elements.
*Whenever possible apply leave in conditioner especially on the ends, to keep frizzies and split ends in check
*Let go of the old time saying about squeaky clean hair. The truth is that squeaky hair means you have stripped the hair of its natural oils.
*With relaxed or color-treated hair frequent deep oil and moisture conditioning is vital to maintain its health.
*Cover your hair with a silk scarf before bedtime to help your hair stay put and protect it from friction and breakage that can result from sleeping on cotton pillowcases
*Feed your hair from the inside. Include these essential nutrients to your diet:
   - Omega 3 fatty acids (found in an abundance of salmon and flaxseed oil).
   - Protein (found in soy and tofu, meat, poultry and dairy products).
   - Vitamins and Minerals (found in fresh fruit and vegetables).
