THINGS TO AVOID NOT JUST FOR NATURALS!!!

Making to much contact with your hair.
ONCE you style your hair leave your hair alone.


Not getting regular "haircuts" can be harmful to your hair.
By haircuts I mean getting your ends dusted on a regular basis. When you fail to trim your hair on a regular basis you are keeping your hair from growing. I try to trim "dust" my ends every 6-8 weeks. This depends on your hair growth cycle though. By dusting or trimming your hair on a regular basis you are ensuring that your hair will be healthy and grow out strong.

Avoid products that have alcohol in them. 
If you use hairsprays and gels because they can be high in alcohol and they can cause your hair to be dry and damage and also make your hair frizzy. I suggest that one would not use hairsprays but to each its own and I would recommend ECO STYLER GELS (any of the eco styler gels will work)!! Just check the ingredients on the label before you buy hair products.  

Over washing your hair! 

 Washing your hair too much can strip your hair of its natural oil and leave your hair dry and or frizzy. (CO WASH more if you need to wash often) I co wash my hair twice a week. And if you use shampoos be sure that the product doesn't not contain sulfates and that they contain moisturizing ingredients.

Over scrubbing your scalp. This explains it's self. I'm not saying don't scrub your scalp but be mindful and do scrub to the point where you hair becomes tangled. Don't scrub with your nails because this can cause damage to your scalp.




Wearing tight hairstyles.
Tight ponytails, or protective styles can be useful but the less tension you put on your hair the better. Pulling the hair to tightly can damage your hair and your scalp. It can cause hair loss as well. Instead of wearing high ponytails try a low ponytail or a loose braid. ALSO if you are wearing extensions use less hair to reduce the amount of weight of the extra hair pulling on your scalp.




YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE THIS SO BE MINDFUL!!!
