Hair Growth Tips

Dreaming of long healthy hair? Stop dreaming and follow these 4 simple tips! 1 Hair Care Routine First things first; your routine is very important. This one is easy because you're already doing most of it. After a refreshing bath/shower and getting ready for your day, before you're about to detangle and start styling your hair, do a 10 min scalp massage to increase blood flow to your scalp. This strengthens the cells of your hair follicles, promotes hair growth, helps transfer natural hair sebum to the rest of the hair, and helps to promote a healthy scalp. Only wash your hair once a week. This prevents you from stripping your hair's natural protective oils. Go all out for your hair and set a hair date once every week to take extra special care of your hair. Sunday's are dedicated to my hair when I do a hot oil treatment with my Hair Glow Serum or a banana mask once a month before I wash and condition. 2. No Chemicals! Say no to chemicals like relaxers, perm lotions...
