Hey Earth’s Enrichers!
Every once in a while we feature a post from another blog which peaks our interest and that we think may peak yours as well. This week’s blog was created by Natural Nicole and it provides you with great information regarding hair growth and hair loss. We hope that you enjoy it!
Our hair usually grows at least six inches a year but it could grow more than six inches a year when you factor in DNA and your diet. This means the average rate of hair growth in a month is ½ inch per month, which means our hair is constantly growing!
Three major things can have a negative effect on how our hair grows and can cause it to slow down they are:
1. Medications
2. Stress
3. Unhealthy Diet
4. Sleep Deprivation
If you notice your hair is not growing or the rate of growth has slowed down look into the things listed above and try to work on that area.
Ways you can prevent breakage or hair loss is by implementing the following:
1. Eat Healthy
2. Cut back on your caffeine intake
3. Don’t over use heat
4. Make sure to massage your scalp
5. Be gentle when combing your hair
6. Make sure to deep condition your hair
7. Avoid protein overload
8. Get your ends trimmed
9. Don’t over condition your hair
10.Use a Sulfate Free Shampoo
11.Wear Protective Styles
12.Always wear a satin bonnet to bed
13.Don’t braid your hair tight
14.Try and keep your hands out of your hair in other words don’t play in your hair
15. Seal in the Moisture with a good oil and keep your hair moisturized
I think that you will have a healthy hair journey with a successful growth rate if you take heed to the things I listed above!
