*5 things to do before going out to meet a hair stylist who know nothing about natural hair maintenance*
...Its obvious that some some naturalist suffer a lot in the hands of some careless hair stylist who don't know much about the DO's and DON'T's of natural hair. I'm writing from experience.
Actually some stylist handle natural hair without sympathy and this can cause a lot of breakage and hair loss.. I'd employ you to read the following points of my which can go a long way.

1. Wash your hair properly
2. Deep condition your hair: This helps to strengthen and moisturize your hair.
3. Detangle your hair properly: This makes it easier for the stylist to comb and section.
4. Moisturize and chunky twist your hair overnight, cover with satin bonnet to retain the moisture. This can help stretch, moisturize and limits shrinkage before styling.
5. Take your spray bottle along with you: This can help hydrate your hair. Add a little quantity of water and leave in conditioner with your favorite oil in the spray bottle...
*much love*

Holla beauties i am here again ooo and today we will be talking about the almighty HAIR POROSITY
I discovered in my last post that many of us don't know what hair porosity is and what their hair porosity is. Worry no more

WHAT IS HAIR POROSITY
Porosity refers to how well your hair is able to absorb and hold moisture which also determines how easily moisture and oil pass in and out of your hair...
Do you know your hair porosity?

Determining hair porosity
There are two methods you can use to determine how porous your hair is and they are
1 THE FLOAT TEST..
Take a couple of strands of hair from your comb or brush and drop them into a bowl of water. Let them sit for 2 to 4 minutes.. if your hair floats you have low porosity, if it sinks you have high porosity..

2 THE SLIP 'N' SLIDE TEST
Take a strand of hair and slide your fingers up the shaft ( towards the scalp). If you feel little bumps along the way, this means that your cuticle is lifted and that you have high porosity. If your fingers slip smoothly, then you have low porosity hair..

TYPES OF HAIR POROSITY
LOW POROSITY
Characteristic
Repels moisture when you try to wet it
Prone to nuild up from protein rich deep conditioning products
Requires moisturizers such as shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil and mineral oils

MEDIUM POROSITY
Characteristic
Requires the least amount of maintenance
Allows the right amount of moisture to enter and prevents too much from escaping
Occasional deep conditioning treatments with protein conditioners can benefit medium porosity.

HIGH POROSITY
Characteristics
Has gaps and holes in the cuticle which prevents the hair from absorbing excess moisture
Loses moisture easily
Makes do with leave in conditioners, moisturizers and sealants...

How to make your own conditioner

*Aloe vera gel
*Egg
*Avocado
*Rice watervand fenugreek oil
*coconout and caster oil

Mix/blend the ingredients together. Apply the mixture on damp hair. Cover with plastic ( for as long as you want, I had it overnight). Wash with a mild shampoo that smells nice because the mixture smells bad especially if you had it on for long.
Moisturize and style as desired. Hair will be fluffy soft and full

HOW TO GROW YOUR HAIR- A BEGINNER'S GUIDE

Are you someone that is just tired of your hair? Have you searched and searched and TRIED to grow your hair but your hair is still obstinately at the same length? Are you already wondering whether to just cut your hair and accept the fact that long hair is your portion? If so, this post is for you.

For you to grow your hair, you first need to understand certain things about hair growth. The most important thing you need to know is that no one is destined to have short hair, and black women's hair CAN GROW, WHETHER TO WAIST LENGTH OR ANYWHERE, even if you don't have the "genetics". If you believe black people's hair can't grow, why not check out people with dreads?

Hair grows from 0.25-1 inch every month. That means the average growth for all black women is 0.5 inch every month. Note that your hair can grow faster or slower than that. Note also that this growth WILL HAPPEN whether or not you use any magic cream or product, or whether you're taking care of your hair or not. At least a portion of your hair will still keep on growing at this rate all your life.

But let's calculate using 0.5 inch. If you grew hair 0.5 inch every month, you should have 6 inches by the end of the year. If you have been keeping your hair for 3 years, you already have 18 inches. 18 inches means midback length for most women.

Then, you might want to ask. WHY IS IT THAT I DON'T HAVE WAIST LENGTH HAIR YET? I'VE BEEN GROWING MY HAIR FOR YEARS NOW. IS IT THAT I AM CURSED WITH VERY SLOW RATE OF GROWTH?

The answer is no, you are not cursed. Even if your hair grew 0.25 inch a month, you should have 9 inches at the end of three years. The reason why most black women don't have long hair is due to BREAKAGE.

You might think, "Are you sure you aren't overreacting? Breakage isn't a big deal." But IT IS. Everytime you comb your hair, you break your hair, especially the tips. Everytime you handle your hair in fact, hair falls out. Everytime you go to the hairdresser to make your hair, they comb it agressively and your hair keeps falling out BUT YOU DON'T NOTICE. Your hair is growing and will continue to grow, but as long as you don't take care of the hair you already have, IT WILL KEEP BREAKING.

But then, you might say, "I still think it's genetics. Some people don't take care of their hair and it still grows." Yes, this is true. Some people have good "length retention genes" where their hair can withstand any amount of manipulation and still be fine. But that is not the case for YOU, or ME, or the majority of women with long hair now, in fact! But they still have long hair!

I use myself as an example now. I grew my hair for FOUR GOOD YEARS and it didn't reach shoulder length. My hair was 4-6 inches after growing it for four years! When I noticed, I started meeting my friends with longer hair, asking them what they did to their hair. I ran to the market to buy Shea butter and coconut oil on their advice, and when I applied it on my hair it didn't grow overnight as I was expecting. Anyway, I cut it due to disgust, thinking I was doomed forever. Now that I now know how to take proper care of my hair, my hair got to 6 INCHES IN JUST 10 MONTHS (before I trimmed off some dead ends). If I didn't learn about hair, I would have spent my whole life thinking it wasn't in my destiny to grow long hair.

To grow long hair, you need to understand one simple fact: black hair is fragile. If you really, really want to grow hair, make sure you have this at the back of your mind. Take care of it like an egg. Don't comb your hair dry. Don't do hairstyles that will pull your scalp from your head. Don't put it under a weave and forget about it. Take care of it EVERYDAY. Moisturize. Use the proper products and tools. Know about the treatments you need for a healthy hair journey such as protein treatments, deep conditioning treatments, rinses, etc.To know more, check out my posts on this group.

Stop saying "If you have hair you have hair" because that's a destructive and wrong sentiment. Anyone can "have hair." Do you think all the black women with long waist length hair just left it alone? NO. They worked for it! You might not see their efforts from the pictures, but they put in their work, and you're seeing their results.

In addition, stop asking "What do you use for your hair?". Honestly, it is your job to do research if you want your hair to grow. Once you give yourself a good hair regimen, you'll notice that you won't even care what anyone else is using for their hair because your own hair is growing.

Remember, your hair WILL grow, once you put in the effort.

The key to long hair is moisture all these remedies but the only one people need to truly focus on is moisture that is what stops breaking and retains length long hair comes from length retention and you can do that on hair that is always dry and not moisturized you hair should be elastic (good shrinkage) and always moisturized the best moisturizer is water and to seal it in with what ever you use that seals your hair well I use I use Shea butter to seal my hair and I don’t use shampoo only black soap and baking soda on days I want to deep cleanse shampoo dries my hair out and so do all the unnatural products
