7 Reasons Why Your Natural Hair Isn't Healthy
September 26, 2017 4 min read
Learning how to have healthy hair can be difficult, especially if your hair is naturally dry or curly. In many cases, the issue is that the length you do achieve overtime isn't being retained. In other words, you are experiencing breakage at the same rate.
Here are seven reasons why your hair may not be retaining length. By the end of this article, we hope you’ll be able to identify your problem so you can promote healthy hair growth in the future.
Lack of Moisture
Some naturalistas may need a styler and then hair oil to seal. Tailoring this method to your hair's needs will boost elasticity and help prevent breakage. And BINGO! You're retaining your length and promoting healthy hair.
You Don’t Drink Enough Water
You Use Too Much Heat
Your Hand Is Always in It
Genetics
You Need a Trim
Trimming your hair to help with length retention may seem like a backwards process, but it's one of the best things you can do for your hair health. Regular trims get rid of nasty split ends and damage that lead to hair breakage. There's no one rule of how often you should trim your hair, but doing so at least once every season - or every three to four months - will refresh your ends and keep them healthy. The more you keep up with trims, the less you'll see damage, and the less hair you'll need to cut. You may even be able to stretch the time between trims as it gets healthier.
