Hair Maintenance

The topic of hair maintenance can be as fun or as boring as you make it.  If you allow yourself to get bogged down with attempting to remember scientific terms, various hair lingo and terms and/or hair typing systems, it can be a bit boring and overwhelming.  However, if you take the time to feel, touch, and know your hair, use sensory awareness to really develop a relationship with your hair, you will find that hair maintenance does not have to be a complicated thing, and that it can be quite the enjoyable experience.  Our hair needs certain things to thrive.  Moisture is one.  Moisture provides our hair with a basis.  It protects our hair.  It keeps our hair from drying out and breaking.  Secondly, our hair needs oil.  Oils help to nourish our hair and seal in moisture.  It provides our hair with a barrier against harsh conditions like the elements and heat styling (if that's your thing).  Lastly, it needs the support of internal nourishment.  Don't however limit yourself to thinking that proper hair maintenance is achieved only by what you do to your hair strands.  Hair maintenance also begins with what you internally do to nourish your body, not just how you take care of the strands on your head from the outside.  When you drink plenty of water, eat your vitamins and mineral via fruits and vegetables, and get plenty of exercise, your hair too will thrive and benefit.  Those are things you just won't find bottled up and packaged pretty.  Styling your hair is the easy and fun part.  There is a plethora of information and self help videos all across the World Wide Web to help you along your journey.  Have fun with different styles, accessories, and hair tools.  Don't let anyone tell you what is best for your hair.  Learn what is best for your hair; let your hair tell you.  Your hair will thank you.
