Beauty Tips
Black hair care products must be formulated to build hair strength and keep hair moisturized. Many products on the market contain ingredients that do not do this. To keep black hair healthy, choose gentle shampoos, use protein and moisture treatments, and moisturize your hair daily with water based moisturizers or coconut oil. Avoid products with sodium laureth sulfate, petroleum, and lanolin. These products are made with cheap ingredients and will not help your hair grow its longest.
Anti Breakage Tips
Black Hair Growth
Most people have about 100,000 hairs on their head. Normal growth is about one quarter to one half inch per month. Actually hair that grows one half inch per month is considered fast growing. Black hair normally grows slower than this. Every hair on your head will go through three phases: growing, resting, and shedding.
The growing phase can last from 3 to 7 years.
The resting phase lasts about 2 to 4 weeks.
The shedding phase can last from 3 to 4 months. This shedding is the natural process that replaces old hairs with new hairs. It is normal to lose about 50 to 80 hairs per day.
If you have ever wondered why your hair will grow to a certain length then stop, it is because of your growing phase. Your growing phase (or anagen) is a certain length of time. This is something that we are born with, so there isn't much that changes it. A person with a very long growing phase will grow longer hair than a person with a shorter growing phase. Therefore, the anagen phase actually determines the maximum length your hair will grow.
Hair vitamins can be used to make black hair grow faster, but it will not repair any damage done to your hair, or prevent further damage. You must use treatments and other hair care products to keep your hair from breaking. HairFinity vitamins can make your hair grow up to twice as fast as normal.
Using protein and moisture treatments will rebuild hair strength and keep it from breaking. The reason it is so important to use protein treatments is because the hair is made mostly of protein, acutally about 88%. When your hair is relaxed, for example, many of the protein bonds in the hair are broken. This allows the curly pattern to become looser, and eventually straight. If you do not rebuild the protein lost after this type of service, your hair will definitely break. However, protein and moisture must be balanced, or it will also cause breakage.
