Hey cuties! this post is about changing our mindset regarding haircare.
The title of this post is straight forward. I actually said that to someone (not as polite as i wrote it though…lol) who kept giving me reasons why her hair will not get longer than
shoulder length.
Growing up as a girl, you are either in that category that has very scanty but long hair, very full but short hair or vice versa. No matter the category you will get noticed. People will give you the advice of wearing weaves or wigs just to make it look nice. When getting braids the braiders will pull the hair too tightly and complain of how stubborn our hair is. Some push us to relax our hair in less than 6 weeks or comb the hell out of our heads because we choose not to. Simply put… these are the things that keep your hair from growing.
If you really care about growing your hair long and healthy then take responsibility for your hair and care for it. Pay attention to the way you handle and style your hair which includes washing, combing, protective styles that will help you retain length, growth aid and others. Want to give your hair a try to see if it will grow? here are some bad hair care practices you should avoid:
* washing your hair too often and without a follow up conditioning or deep conditioning.
* over combing your hair
* combing your hair with small spaced rat tail combs.
* packing your hair into tight ponytails or installing very tight braids.
* using rubber bands
* installing braids and hairstyles that pull on the edges and nape hair too tightly.
* not using protective hairstyles (allowing your hair to brush your shoulders and clothes all day)
* flat ironing your hair too often
* not air drying at all (heat from hair dryers and blow dryers dry out moisture from the hair leading to breakage so try to air dry most of the time).
* using petroleum based hair creams that actually adds shine but prevent your hair from being moisturised
lastly… always comparing your hair to someone else’s leading to doing too much for your hair to grow and this will only lead to disappointments.
have you changed your mindset about your hair growth? what bad haircare practices are you guilty of?
