Do you want healthier hair but don't know where to start? Whether you choose to go natural or try something else, the end goal should always be healthy hair. In this article, we'll explore some options for achieving just that.
Transitioning: This involves stretching the time between relaxing your hair. For example, if you normally relax your hair every 6-8 weeks, you can stretch it to 8-10 weeks or even 3-6 months. Stretching relaxers allows for more "new growth," reducing the risk of over-processing and breakage.
Weaves and Extensions: When done properly, weaves can help you grow and maintain long, healthy hair. However, high-quality hair can be expensive. Make sure to get your weaves installed by a professional to ensure the best results.
Heat Training: This involves using heat (blow dryer, flat iron, or pressing comb) on a consistent basis, resulting in a looser curl pattern and straighter hair. This can be a great option for those who want to stretch their relaxers or wear straight hair without chemicals, but it also requires proper care to avoid excessive damage.
No matter which option you choose, it's important to pay close attention to your hair and watch for signs of breakage or excessive damage. Each of these options has its pros and cons, so be sure to do your research and choose the best one for you and your hair.
