Facts you need to know.

1. The African hair is the weakest of all hair types.
2. This is mainly because it is curly so nutrients do not get through the hair. So it easily becomes brittle and breaks.
3. Your hair is healthy when the internal part of your hair is well nourished.

4. Each time you relax your hair it is stripped of all its essential nutrients and oils.
5. The flip side is that it is only during the process of relaxing or a process that generates heat that the cuticles open and nutrients can be fed into the hair intravenously.
6. Using a relaxer which contains essential natural oils which contain all the nutrients to nourish and grow your hair ensures you have healthy hair. Natures Gentle Touch Herbalblend Relaxer moisturizes your hair from root to tip. Its ingredients include; avocado oil, jojuba bean oil, shea butter and olive oil. All these natural oils nourish and vitalise your hair.
7. When your hair is being damaged it starts from the inside of your hair; telltale signs are loss of hair elasticity, hair is rough to touch and usually appears wiry and it has no shine.

Own Hair versus Artificial Hair.

The look for most women today is one form of artificial hair or the other. Its either braids, or weave - on. Understandably convenience plays a big role in the choice of artificial hair. The fact that one does not have to go to the salon every week and every morning all one does is get up and go. This makes using these artificial products very practical. Another advantage is the fact that you can practically have any look you want all you have to do is dream it. It does not depend on the length of ones hair just the skill of the stylist. It does have its down sides; sometimes it can be very uncomfortable, hot and irritating. With braids sometimes its just too tight.

A number of comments one gets quite often is the fact that one can walk into an event thinking one has that drop dead gorgeous look and when one scans the room one realizes that one looks like four other people in the room and that is such a let down. This is when wearing your own hair has its pluses you will always be you. Whether the look is from the side or the back view its very rare to have a case of " I thought you were somebody else" .

Healthy hair wise; wearing an attachment for a considerable length of time causes grime to stay on your hair and because it has stayed on for so long and if ones hair is not strong especially because one has left the attachment or braid on for over a month the hair underneath has not been washed and conditioned. The hair becomes brittle and will very easily break coupled with the fact that the hair that is attached with the grime when taking out the braids or weave on can cause a considerable amount of hair to be lost during this process.

Style wise, braids and attachments are not a substitute to ones own hair. They are excellent for that one off look for an occasion, a trip or event. Using them as a replacement for ones own hair will be a sure way to lose your hair. If one wants to wear artificial hair back to back ones real hair should be washed and conditioned at least every two weeks. This will keep ones hair strong and healthy.
A deep conditioning cholesterol treatment is all that is required. One that has herbal ingredients that will replace lost nutrients and essential oils which aid hair growth and keep ones hair moisturized from the root to the tip.

Natural is always better. Why do you think diamonds are a girls best friend? It is because they are perfect even with its flaws.
