Common Mistakes

 

 

Mistake No. 1:

 

Improper Scalp Care

One of the biggest problems is a dry, unhealthy scalp. To prevent or heal flaking and itching, it's as simple as keeping the scalp clean and conditioned. Moisturisers containing rosemary as the main ingredient are healing and specially formulated to help reduce scalp problems.

 

 

Mistake No. 2:

 

Not Getting Regular Trims

Yes, you've been patiently growing out the short style for months, but while it may seem painful to cut off several inches of hair, you are actually hurting your hair by hanging on to split ends. No matter what you try, hair will keep splitting if you don't cut it. How can you gauge whether your ends are in trouble? If you can see through them and they have that flyaway look, then it's time to get a cut. Play it safe and schedule trims every six to eight weeks. In between appointments, protect your tips with an all-natural reconditioning treatment.

 

 

Mistake No. 3:

 

Getting locs, braids Extensions weaves & Ponytails Too Tight / Poorly Anchored

Everyone wants a style that looks sleek and pulled together. But small bumps around your hairline, and edges that are breaking off, mean the style is too tight. If you've already spent hours of your time and plenty of cash for a style that's too tight, although the best solution would be to remove it, there is another option: Immediately steam your hair - it will moisturise your hair while protecting the scalp.

 

 

Mistake No. 4:

 

Confusion on Conditioning Natural Hair

Because of the tight coils in natural hair the natural sebum (oil) that we produce on our scalp doesn’t reach the tip of our hair. We have to therefore give nature a helping hand by using a moisturising conditioner after shampooing hair, this will soften the hair and make it easier when combing and styling. A good leave in moisturising conditioner is also recommended as it will ensure that the benefits of the moisture lasts longer thus given you a more manageable and bouncy mane. Moisturising conditioner used regularly will inevitable promote less split ends.
