Is it Broken Hair or New Growth?

When doing your hair or your child's hair, do you notice hair that is much shorter than the length of surrounding hair? or maybe you notice hair sticking out after styling the hair. These could either be hair that has broken off or new hair that is sprouting from the head.

Pre Poo Hot Oil Treatment for easier Wash Day!

Hi Lovelies! Doing a Hot Oil Treatment before a full wash, greatly helps your hair in terms of reducing tangles by oiling the hair strands and enabling them to glide past each other rather than tangle up during your Wash Day Process. I normally do my own home produced hair treatment but this time around I bought one of these hand made all natural hair treatment online from the company Lush.

 

 

 

 

  These come in a range of natural hand made products. The one I chose was the 'Hair Doctor. 'The ingredients include Coconut Oil,Jojoba Oil, Rosemary and Red Henna. All these infused together work to leave the hair feeling stronger and nourished and ready for the somewhat wear and tear process our hair actually goes through on every Wash Day. The Treatment comes attached to a wooden stick on which directions for use are clearly highlighted.

 

 

  My hair was left looking and feeling amazing! Any Hot Oil Treatment will work a treat on your Natural Hair prior to washing. Give it a try if not already doing so!

How do you deal with negative natural hair comments ?

Hey guys,
 I am sure almost all, if not all naturalistas have met one or two people that have got a thing or two to say about our hair! Sometimes we get compliments and other times we get very rude comments. If we are lucky, most of these rude comments are just side talk and some "nice" people would not say them to your face but if you are unlucky to meet the not so nice ones or rude ones that just say it to you straight up then you are left in an uncomfortable or awkward situation like I was in, on Wednesday.
 Before I start with my story, I want to give a standing ovation for all those naturalistas that just stare, smile or ignore people with negative comments about their hair, you guys are the real MVP. Oh! to my story, I was in a bus on Wednesday, i was seated in the front seat with my pineapple fro in all its glory for the world (danfo world) to see and admire.
 I was really feeling confident and good about my fro cause prior to boarding the bus , I had gotten lots of compliments and some nods of approval, I hadn't even settled into my front seat when a lady in her mid 30's sitting directly behind me, tapped me on the shoulder and said ''sister shift front abeg , make breeze no come dey blow your hair inside my mouth''!
 I apologized, sat forward and regretted apologizing almost immediately cause firstly, she was rude and secondly, she had just embarrassed me. I sat still and was seriously praying for her to just say something else so i could at least give her the attitude rude people like her deserve . I had not even finished composing my comeback when she started going on about how people claim to be ''SU"' and would not use relaxer but color their hair  and how most of these people are just pretenders.
  For me, that was just just the last straw! I sat back, rested my back on my seat and waited for her to say something! She shouted angrily this time , asked me to move forward or cover my hair, I was so furious, I turned around and said to her, Madam abeg close your mouth and stop showing us how shallow you really are!
It felt good but I felt bad almost immediately and i just couldn't wrap my head around her level of ignorance, Well, that's my encounter with somebody that had something rude to say about my hair, do you think I overreacted or acted accordingly ?
 We all must have one, if not more of these encounters, how did you manage yours? Were you patient or tolerant like most people say on mane matters or did you lose it like me (lol) please share!


       Have A Great Week

How Hand in Hair Syndrome might be killing your hair

The inner surface of your fingers are not exactly smooth. In fact, the print lines in them make them more dangerous to our hair than the cotton pillowcases and other cotton surfaces we stay away from. It's already bad enough that we have to use our fingers to rub the surfaces of our hair all length long when we are doing styles like weaving and flat twists. But at least our fingers are most likely a bit oiled by then, but it's worse when we indulge in playing with our dry hair with equally dry fingers every single moment we can get our hands free.

Here are a few ways hand in hair syndrome will kick our hair growth

1. Hair breakage
This is not rocket science. Our hair strands are not as strong as we think they are. They mouth be coarse but they are potential breakage points at each twist and bend. Playing with your hair regularly will only make these breakage points give away faster

2. No edges
Playing with you ends closer to your scalp will put your edges under so much stress. Many people have thinner hair at their edges than in the middle of their hair. Playing with your edges can cause your edges to be practically non existent.

3. Traction alopecia
No edges without you realizing why you have no edges might mean you continue fiddling with the hair left. So as this continues to happen, you hair begins to feel the tension on it, causing it to recede further and further, thereby leading to traction alopecia.

4. Stunted growth
Breakage at the ends+no edges+traction alopecia = stunted growth. Stunted growth here doesn't mean your hair won't grow.  It would grow but the ends will equally break off at the same rate at which is growing. A more appropriate term for this is zero length retention

5. Hair thinning and weak/damaged ends
One reason ends might be weaker than the root is because they have undergone too much rubbing and manipulation from your fingers. The continual friction on the hair cuticles (the outer layer of the hair strands) can damage it and make it non existent, leaving your ends weak, exposed and damaged

6. Other mild or serious scalp conditions
Continually playing with your hair might cause you to introduce foreign bodies into your scalp. If the scalp surface has been previously broken, a foreign body like germs, dust, allergens, etc might lead to some irritating conditions on the scalp making you feel itch and discomfort for a period of time, something you might not get away with until you see a trichologist

I hope with these points of mine, I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that hand in hair syndrome will slowly kill you your hair.

So get those fingers off

5 Bad Habits That Lead To Hair Breakage

Hello everyone!

There are some things we do - consciously or unconsciously that lead to breakage. Some habits that we haven't been able to do away with, that has become a norm of sorts. Unknown to us, they are making us lose hair.

Some of which include:

1. Using a cotton towel.
There's a reason why tees and Microfibre towels are recommended. Apart from the fact that it lessens the chances of breakage, cotton towels are known to absorb all of the moisture thereby drying out your hair which in turn leads to breakage. Same goes with cotton sheets.

2. Combing dry hair.
I'm really tired of folks complaining about the texture of their hair when the only thing they do on a daily basis is to comb their dry hair. Whatever way you want to see it, combing dry natural hair will lead to breakage. It doesn't cost you anything to dampen your hair before combing.

3. Using sulphate shampoo.
Obviously, this will strip your hair leaving it dry and brittle. I know that there's a school of thought that advocates using sulphate shampoos occasionally for clarifying. If you're going to do that, make sure you prepoo at least.

4. Using rat-tail comb to style your hair.
Remember that rat-tail comb those stylists used to style our hair when we were relaxed? Yeah? Throw it away! How can you even manage to pass that comb through your curls and kinks? Of course it will break your hair and the comb.

5. Abandoning your hair under protective styles.
Anytime, I feel like forgetting to moisturize my hair under extensions, two words start ringing in my kind; breakage and damage. This is enough incentive to push me but I can't speak for everyone. Many of us are consciously or unconsciously guilty of this.

So, which of this habits do you own up to?

Why is my Child's Natural Hair Not Growing?

By DiscoveringNatural

One of the most common questions I get on my channel and Facebook page is "Why is my child's hair not growing?" There can be different reasons this is happening. In today's video, I tackle the issues and give you several solutions.

 

 

My Child's Natural Hair is Damaged, What Can I Do?

By DiscoveringNatural

A mother wrote to me, asking desperately how to care for her child's damaged natural hair. The child's hair was breaking frequently and always felt dry.  She also wanted to know how to create a healthy hair regimen for her child.

Here is my response.

When it comes to natural hair, the most important thing is to know that our hair LOVES moisture. In addition to that, having a great balance between Moisture and Protein also helps. When creating a regimen, it is important to incorporate these factors in it.

Here are some questions you should ask yourself:

(1) How often are you moisturizing her hair?
(2) Do you deep condition her hair?
(3) How long are you keeping her hair in styles?
(4) When you wash her hair, are you properly cleansing her scalp?
(5) How do you protect her hair when she goes to bed? 

A basic regimen will constitute of a daily routine, night routine, weekly routine, and monthly routine. Watch this to learn more:

How to easily find what works for your natural hair

I know many people perceive me as this natural hair guru, considering the number of mails and calls I receive on a daily basis, but the truth is that I am not without my own unique hair struggles. I have made careless mistakes, suffered hair damages, and what not.

Middle of last year, after my hair reached mid-back length, I was so excited to see my hair grow that long. I was quite pleased and surprised, considering the fact that I hardly do length checks. Even when my hair was relaxed, it had never been that long.

My regular style for a long time before then was to have my hair twisted for two weeks, after wish I proceed to do my usual thing on wash day, and then put my hair in twists immediately after. After a while, this was getting stressful, as my hair was taking longer hours to twist. I was now using close to for hours to do medium-sized twists on my hair, the only advantage being the fact that I could watch movies while making my hair.

Because of this, I decided to increase the number of weeks I keep my twists in from two to three. I felt is I do this, I would lose less hair, because the manipulation would be less frequent, thus allowing for faster growth. I was just looking for anything in the world that would make me retain more length.

I felt the three weeks twist thing was cool, but could be better, so I decided to start making updos, which could last for three weeks. I tried this twice (making a total of 6 weeks), and then stopped. I realized this wasn’t good for me because when updos stay to long, you can’t reach every part of your hair to properly moisturise, since its hidden in an updo. This led to my hair being extremely dry after 3 weeks, and really thirsty. The worst part was the overwhelming amount of single strand knots I saw in my hair, I hardly see knots when my in twists, so I returned to the three weeks twist.

Earlier this year, I still felt I wasn’t doing well. My hair had almost reached waist length by then, but it is no news that I easily suffer hair damage. Men, if I could count how many times I have damaged my hair, mostly due to carelessness…

Anyway, after the aloe vera incident, I was pissed, and decided to change my styling regimen to the two weeks period corn-rows I had been contemplating about. I only had to do this for about 5 weeks to realize that this is the worst mistake of all.

My hair had become noticeably shorter that I did not even bother doing a length check, to know that my hair was in serious trouble. The hair loss I was seeing was telling me all I needed to know.

It was at this period that I brought out my hair loss records to do comparisons, taking products and techniques into consideration, and I almost beat myself in the head from the discovery I made.

The hair loss I had when I was twisting my hair for three weeks was definitely more than twice what I had when I was twisting for two weeks. This meant that my hair was one of those kind of hair that did not favour having styles in for too long. Also, the style that was the worst for me was the two weeks cornrow.

Sample hair loss chart: Click image for a clearer view

On the paper stuck behind the ziploc bags, are written the date of record, products used, treatments done, and any other important info one needs to pen down.

Please, note that I used multiple hair records to arrive at this conclusion, i.e. I used hair loss records for over a year, amounting to over 30 samples, so I didn’t just pick two records and compare. Also know that you can never really tell what styles make you lose hair more if you do not actually have physical evidences to compare. This is because sometimes, our mind can play tricks on us, making us believe we are losing lots of hair, when it is just really the normal thing, and vice versa, which was what drove me into changing my styling regimen in the first place. I should have done the much-needed comparison a long time ago. The only comparison I had been doing was bi-monthly comparison, not comparing like 6 month ago records to current record.

As for you, three weeks of twist might be the best for your own hair length retention. You would never know if you don't experiment, but don't wait for an extremely long time before you start comparing.

I have now gone back to the 2 weeks twist, which I should have never left in the first place, and have to repair this damage. I have since cut part of my hair. I want to see how it will blossom with the cut. I was trying to fix what wasn’t broken, and I am paying dearly for it.

So please, you can choose to answer any of these questions. Have you ever experienced hair damage, and how did you solve it? What could I have done differently to avoid my damage? Do you think paranoia was one of the determinant factors in pushing me to fix what wasn't broken in the first place?

8 major causes of Natural Hair breakage

Source

First thing you should know is that hair breakage is most likely not a product issue, but a technique issue. So if your hair is breaking, the first thought in your mind shouldn’t be how you would look for a product to fix the issue, but to take a look at what you might be doing wrong. Here are some causes of breakage, and stopping them will lead to less breakage.

1. Over-manipulation of your hair. When you style your hair too often, and don’t allow it rest, it can lead to increased breakage, because contrary to what many think, black natural hair is very fragile. So don’t do an updo on Monday, twist on Tuesday, twistout on Wednesday, bantu knots on Thursday, flat twists on Friday… I am sure you get the idea by now. Leave your hair alone.

2. Having your hand in your hair. You know that thing we sometimes do when we are bored, reading a novel, watching a movie, or engaging in any task that might not require our two hands, that thing where we just turn our hair to toys and playing with it, or husbands and boyfriends and start fondling it, rolling it, caressing it? Yes, that one. Stop it! Lol.

3. Not moisturising regularly. Hair that is not moisturised is dry. Hair that is dry is susceptible to breakage. No story. Even if your hair is in extensions, no scratch that. Especially when your hair is in extensions, you should moisturise. Extensions have the tendency of drying out the hair, so it is your prerogative to moisturise often, so you won’t suffer so much breakage during take down.

4. Not sealing your ends. Your ends are the oldest part of your hair. The longer your hair, the older your ends, so it is advisable that you take extra care of the by sealing them often after moisturising. Even when you have to manipulate, your hands can just glide down without you hearing those evil snaps.

5. Combing your hair dry. I really don’t know how some people do this successfully, but if you have a black belt in the art of combing hair dry, let’s just say you can say goodbye to the goal of having waist length hair. In black natural hair, there is a potential breakage point at every corner where hair strands curl or coil. Combing your hair dry means you are trying to force the comb through those potential breakage points. It’s like a clash of the titans, and trust me the comb wins the battle most times.

6. Improper detangling. You might wonder why this would affect breakage. But if you don’t detangle properly, shed hair will be trapped in your hair, and after some time, they start snagging off some strands of hair in your head. This leads to massive breakage. I have had this issue in the past, and trust me, it is not pretty. Our hair is really more fragile than you imagine.

7. Fixing extensions too tiny and tight. I am sure you have heard this over and over again. This not only causes hair to break, but leads to increased shedding and alopecia. If you must fix extensions, make it loose, especially around the edges, don’t have it in for too long, and don’t manipulate it too often.

8. Romancing and embracing cottons. If you must use a cotton pillowcase at night, at least use a satin bonnet or scarf to cover your head. This will prevent the cotton from drying out your hair or rubbing harshly against your strands, and leading to breakage. In short, anything that dries out your hair is not good for it.

There are a lot more causes of breakage that I did not mention, such as using the evil blue combs, zips and buttons of your clothes while pulling them off, earrings snagging, using heavy butters and oils on fine strands, etc. The important thing is that you identify what you are doing wrongly, and try to stop it.

Ghana Hair Chick's Letters: Fixing Shedding and Breakage

Hello!I trust everyone is doing well.In my last post on this subject, I promised to do another article on solutions to shedding and breakage.If you will recall, shedding is completely normal and a part of healthy hair cycling and growth, whereas breakage is not.That being said, we can still minimise how much hair we shed and we can stop or prevent breakage with a few good tips.

How to prevent excessive shedding
Since shedding is more of an internal occurrence, external treatments like creams or oils will not do very much to fix it.Seasonal shedding, which is a time period in which shedding is higher than normal, is also a normal part of the hair cycle and cannot be stopped.However, excessive shedding is abnormal, so you should be concerned if you shed more than 100 hairs a day or continually shed a lot of hair over an extended period of time.Please note that an exception to this is if you're pregnant or had a baby since you may shed a lot for months after having a baby due to

hormonal changes.Certain other things to look at if you're having excessive shedding is your menstrual cycle, birth control medication,menopause,a poor diet,illnesses,anemia,thyroid disease and some medicines and treatments like chemotherapy.Aside from these heredity may also make you more prone to shedding than others.That being said, any abnormal shedding for an extended period that is inexplicable should be reported to a doctor.

Fixing Breakage
Breakage is abnormal, and at the first signs that your hair is breaking, you should check your hair care regimen.Please note that some breakage will occur normally due to handling, but excessive breakage should be fixed.In order to minimise breakage
-try to keep a balance between deep conditioning and protein treatments.Too much of either one can result in breakage.
-be gentle with your hair.No rough handling,no yanking,no pulling and that includes during detangling. Try to make sure your nails are smooth and your hands don't have any rough surfaces that can pull hair strands out.

Source

-minimise the rubbing of your hair against rough clothes and bed sheets by tying it up and wearing a satin scarf or bonnet to bed.
-do a hot oil treatment or an oil rinse on your hair.
-Caffeine in tea has been shown to help stop breakage.Tea rising or soaking is a popular way to utilise this.However, do not use more than 2 teabags in a cup at once!Too much caffeine will break your hair.
-check your diet and water intake.A bad diet or bodily dehydration will begin to manifest as breakage.Good health usually means good hair.
-Treat any illness you may have.

Finally, this is a  personal tip and may not work for you.I realized that with extremely coiled kinky hair like mine, the best way to minimise breakage is to wash my hair in twists.My hair gets tangled and knotted when I wash it while its loose, and so when I detangle I loose a lot of hair. Washing my hair in twists usually helps a lot!
This concludes our discussion on shedding vs breakage.I hope this has been helpful to you.Please post your comments or hair related concerns below and I will do my best to handle them in the subsequent posts.
Till then,stay blessed!

Ghana Hair Chick's Letters: Hair Shedding vs Hair Breakage

Hello and Happy New year to you gorgeous naturalistas! Welcome to 2014 on the African Naturalistas' Blog. Its going to be a great year and we hope you enjoy the year with us and you attain all your hair goals by the end of the year.
Today's post will deal with one of the most common issues that most women face: shedding and breakage of hair. A lot of us usually confuse these two things to be the same, but they are not. Because they are different, the solutions to each of these problems is also quite different.Its important to know the difference so you know how to fix them.Let's look briefly at each and their common causes.
Shedding

Source

Shedding is a natural process. A hair strand usually reaches the point where it stops growing and falls from your scalp. These shed hairs will usually have a tiny white root, which is the part of the hair that was attached to the scalp. Shed hair is also usually long. A new hair will replace whatever hair is shed so long as the bulb of your hair is still attached to your scalp. Shedding is very normal and is a healthy part of the hair growth cycle (more on this later). Excessive shedding can occur due to hormonal changes, stress and illness. You may also shed more hair than usual at certain times of the year due to the hair growth cycle.If you suspect hair loss due to excessive shedding, it is advisable to see a doctor.


Breakage

Source

Breakage, on the other hand, occurs when your hair strand literally breaks off. Since broken hair doesn't break at the root, there is no white bulb attached and broken hair strands are shorter. There are many causes of breakage, but the most common ones are illness, hormonal changes,chemical manipulation, lack of moisture, bodily dehydration, lack of adequate nutrition, protein overload, weak hair strands and mechanical stress (over-manipulation). Breakage therefore is not natural, and is an indicator that something is off balance with either your hair, your handling technique or your body.

I suppose your next question is how to fix these? Well check back again soon and the answer will be waiting in the next Ghana Hair Chick Post. You can find us on Facebook at African Naturalistas or start a conversation with the Ghana Hair Chick by clicking on this link.
Till then, stay blessed and healthy!

How Natural Hair Transitioners Can Deal With Breakage

source

Hi ladies.

The most daunting aspect of transitioning is dealing with breakage. The clash between the old relaxed growth and the new kinky growth is inevitable. Instead of making a fuss over it, we're gonna try as much as possible to prevent it by dealing with it before it goes out of hand.

1. Do a Black Tea rinse regularly. This helps to reduce excess shedding and breakage as black tea is full of antioxidants that help hair to become stronger while maintaining its strength and elasticity to decrease breakage.

2. Keep your hair moisturized at all times as dry hair is prone to breakage.

3. Deep condition as often as possible. The importance of DC cannot be overemphasized.

4. Reduce the use of heat. Flat-ironing,blow-drying and the rest. Try to opt out for protective styles that do not require the use of heat.

5. Give your hair a hot-oil treatment. This softens the hair and minimizes breakage.

6. Pre-poo regularly as it minimizes breakage by helping your hair retain some moisture when you shampoo.

7. Wear protective styles regularly. The less manipulation,the better.

8. Protect your hair at night. Use either a satin scarf or a satin pillow case.

Alright ladies. There you have it.. Breakage can totally be handled.

How do you deal with yours?

Stay beautiful

Dear Natural Hair Transitioner...

Hello Everyone!

I'm so honored to be part of the AN team. I hope we can rub minds together and correct the misconceptions of Kinky hair.

Today I'm gonna be talking on Transitioning. You know; the longer more stress-free journey of going natural. Right! As a fellow transitioner, I'm gonna be giving tips on what to expect for those of you that would rather go that lane.

1. #DearTranstioner, the BREAKAGE is real!!!! I think this should be the most daunting, A mean you're dealing with two textures, there's bound to be a clash somewhere. Anyways, hot oil treatments and black tea rinses should be at your beck and call.

2. #DearTransitionier, protective styling is your friend. Trust me, you don't wanna deal with styling two hair textures. Your best bet is to hide it under weaves and/or braids until you're ready to big chop except you can handle it .

3. #DearTransitionier, frequent deep conditioning helps A LOT. This will help strengthen and soften your new growth, relaxed hair and prevent
 breakage.

4. #DearTransitionier, combing your hair after a while will become a hassle. You might not be able to run your comb through your hair as freely as you like. The new growth will prevent a smooth movement except on wash days. So please detangle gently from ends to root.

5. #DearTransitioner Growth is at a snail's pace. Do not expect to see your head filled with kinks overnight. It takes time and LOTS of patience.

6. #DearTransitioner, keep your hair moisturised with a water-based product and seal with natural oils.

Alright ladies there you have it. Transitioning isn't that hard.


                        What has been your biggest transitioning challenge?

Stay Beautiful
