I read an article posted on my MSN homepage the other day about what your hair says about your health. It listed different indicators of common health problems that are evident in your hair. When you are stressed, malnourished,or have hormonal imbalances, your hair can tell that story. If you think about it, even when you get a drug test, some jobs take a small plug of hair. I say all this to say its very important what you eat and how you live. Wellness is a lifestyle. There is no miracle hair product that will grow your hair long while you sit on the couch and eat junk food. Its important to drink plenty of water and exercise in combination with a well balanced diet. Take care of your body and in turn the story your hair will tell will be a good one.
Be Blessed!

May Maddness
Lately I have been so bad about deep conditioning my hair. Ideally, I deep condition my hair every week on wash day. Recently with school, work, and life I just really have not had the time or energy. I have been washing my hair in a mad frenzy and just doing enough to get by from week to week. I have definitely noticed a difference in the look and feel of my hair as a result of my negligence. Last week I decided that I needed to make time to take care of my hair, especially if I want to continue to retain length. I came up with a few time efficient ways to care for your hair when life gets in the way.
1. Deep condition overnight wearing a shower cap and satin bonnet or all day under a fashionable hat.
Last week I took the time to wash my hair before bed and then deep conditioned overnight under my satin bonnet. When I rinsed my hair in the morning it felt amazingly soft. I also noticed my hair had a natural shine throughout the week. If I was able to wear a hat to work or school I would deep condition during the day with a cute hat.
2. Wash your hair in sections and keep it detangled throughout the whole process.
I found that when I make an effort to wash my hair in small sections and not just one big tangled mess styling is much easier. For this reason I find it a little easier to wash my hair in the shower as opposed to the sink.
3. Style your hair the night before and secure it with a scarf.
There have been many mornings that I have had to be up as early as 430am. To cut down on the number of things I have to do in the morning I do my hair the night before (usually a puff, bun, or twisted style) and then secure it with my scarf and then in the morning that's one less thing to do.
