In order to
have long beautiful hair; be it natural, texlaxed or relaxed, there are
regimens to be followed. Lately, people have discovered that Nigerian hair can
also grow long.
The reason
why most people’s hair is not so long is because we do not care for it the way
we ought to care for it. When caring for our hair, there are dos and don’ts
that one needs to stick to:
1. Avoid heat from straighteners and driers. They
tend to be harsh on hair and too much heat can make hair growth stagnant.
2. Use
shea butter (ori) as hair cream.
Rather than waste your money on processed hair creams that are expensive and
contain chemicals that will damage your hair, use shea butter instead. The other good news is that it is quite
affordable. With just N50, you can get a scoop of it.
3. Steam your hair from time to time. Try to
steam your hair at least once in three months. This is one regimen I am yet to
stick to, but it’s quite good. You can do it at home yourself. Wash your hair
with shampoo, rinse it and apply deep-conditioner on it at night. Wear a shower
cap and go to bed. When you wake up in the morning, remove shower cap and rinse
your hair. Voila! You have just steamed your hair at home yourself.
4. Use
oils on your scalp every other day.
For a better result, you can heat the oil a little on fire, leave it to cool
and then apply on scalp. Some of the oils that can be used for this purpose
are: coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil
(especially Jamaican Black Castor Oil) and palm kernel oil (adin dudu in
Yoruba).
5. Learn
to massage your scalp with whichever
oil you are using. That is, don’t just put oil on your scalp, but massage the
scalp after application. I am sure you have observed that hairstylists do that
to your hair a lot at the salon. It is done so that the oil can go to the hair
roots and then flow to its tips.
6. Try
as much as possible to do mainly protective
hairstyles. This implies that you do hairstyles that protect your hair from
heat (from the sun), constant combing and hairline breakage.
NOTE: When it comes to a woman’s beauty,
the hairline is very important. Therefore, the hairline is very important. Babes,
protect your hairline as much as you can.
