how to maintain your natural hair

the hair is one of the most vital part of a complete and attractive woman, if you ignore your hair then you will just be existing as a woman not as an attractive woman.
it is very common for Nigerian women especially housewives to neglect their hair, i say this because i can testify to some irritating hair under the extensions. sometimes we feel because we mostly use attached wig, its a waste to pay so much attention to the natural hair. which is very bad. why?
the public might not see your natural(which they really don't care to)
but your husband/boyfriend  sees it, he has to deal with the smell that oozes out
your stylist sees it and she/he has to deal with touching and weaving a hair that looks like “cobweb” don't mind my language but its the truth. i personally can not touch such hair.
and these two people are very important to you, it doesn't matter what the world thinks but it matters what your husband and stylist think! please ladies.
lets get to the main deal how will you have a shining strength filled hair/maintain your already great hair.

• find out your hair type from your stylist. there are numerous hair types and all requires its own care.
• use good hair products that suit your hair types.DOESN’T HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE. most women and girls want to try it all.. please and please don't try every product in the market!. stick to your brand unless you have an issue with the current brand,which if you do consult a hair specialist so you make a good choice.
• don't over brush…once your hair is straighten out its okay! don't brush and brush and brush. it does not help your get smoother like most people believe.
• for those of us who use (relaxers). stick to a kind that suits your hair,don't relax it too often unless if your hair is very tough.which in that case i will advise monthly relaxing.i have a very very tough hair so i relax often and use hair softeners.
• i am totally against hair stretching, using such intense heat on your hair is ‘wickedness’. i see my hair as a baby that needs care and attention, but i don't give it so much attention that is gets bad!
• brush your hair before bed.
• use quality hair fruits to wash regularly.
• avoid as much as possible, hair styles that are clustered or sealed so air is prevented from coming in, like i said your hair is a baby it will suffocate if you derive it of air.
• if your have to use a hair extension for more than a month, please let it be removable, like a wig.
• if you have full and tough hair like mine, use designated hair combs.
• yes, if a relaxer says 30 minutes for relaxed time please don't exceed the time, if your hair doesn't get relaxed  in that stipulated time, then my dear, get another relaxer that’s for your hair type.
• eat a diet that prevent hair loss. fatty acids,fish and milk.
• even if your hair isn't so good, don't let everyone know just look good.
• know your shampoo ingredients.
• after washing do not rub your hair or comb, let it dry first.
• use a detangler suitable for your hair type,use good hair creams and oil.

if you do all these, trust me you will get a shiny hair with strength. we Nigerians are blessed with our own kind of hair.lets make it beautiful and super attractive because your hair is on your face, and your face is the first impression people get when they look at you.if you have questions comments suggestions feel free as a bird to drop it and I'll be sure to check it out.
