The Dynamics Of African Hair
The difference between those africans who have gorgeous healthy hair, and those who do not, is knowledge. Once you know what your hair likes, and what it does not like, then you are already on your way to glorious hair. If you listen to what your hair tells you, you can return strength to structure.
Your hair is as individual as your signature, and so you need to treat it a little differently from any other person’s hair. It is important that your hair has the right texture before the right style will follow. And this is why you must stop following the crowd when it comes to your hair. Can you recall all those things you do or have done to your hair, but which common sense tells you is wrong? And yet, you sit there while the stylist bullies you into having that touch-up immediately after your three month-old braids came off!
Bad hairdressing practices are the single most common causes of hair damage and breakage to black hair today. Of course, we have individual causes like tight braiding, which do irreparable damage to the hairline especially. These are all referred to as styling damage; i.e. damage that one gets when one wears certain hairstyles.
The only way to healthier hair is to avoid all harmful procedures, and hairstyles that are bound to cause trauma and breakage to the hair, no matter how beautiful the style may be. Preventing damage is easier and cheaper than repairing hair; when you prevent, your work is then limited to strengthening and improving the hair, rather than seeking to first repair and then reconstruct damaged hair.
