8. Water Therapy
Generally drinking a lot of water is great for your health,consider drinking your way to great health and awesome hair by drinking about 10 -15 glasses of water daily.
The human hair contains about 5% of water,a well hydrated body,helps to regulate the circulatory system, which feeds the hair follicles and it turn stimulates hair growth.
9. Hair Styles
Some nigerian hair styles are tight on the root of your hair,and thus encourages hair breakage.
Some types of african and Nigerian hair braids exert tight pressure on the scalp thus breaking the hair and making the root of your hair weak.
A tight hair style also hurts,so its advisable that you desist from making hair styles that are too tight,if you have plans of growing your hair.
10. Toxic Hair Products
Avoid using any type and kind of hair care product you see in beauty shops,most of these products cause more harm than good.
A lot of these hair products and creams contain toxic chemical substances that are harmful to the hair scalp,and causes more damage than good.
Also avoid applying any hair cream product often.
11. Sun Alert
Always protect your hair from the harsh sun rays of the sun,as simple as it may sound,exposing your hair to the sun always ends up damaging your hair,always try to wear a hat or cover your hair.
Because of this fact,it is recommended that you keep your hair moisturized.
