Resist the temptation to wash your hair every day. It’s fine to rinse it daily but curly hair should be shampooed once or twice per week if possible (This fact depends on your curls type, shampoo and its PH value).

That’s because curly hair is the result of the way that proteins in you hair called sulfides bonds (disulfide bonds) and harsh shampoo can break those bonds, so if you like to shampoo your hair regularly then use extra-mild or natural shampoo or your beautiful curls might become dry and also straighten a bit as a result. Use conditioning treatment after each wash.

1. Care for your hair – it seems obvious, but some girls dont know how to look after their hair properly
* Loose hair clips are better than tight ponytails
* Brush carefully, detangle hair properly
* Try not to pull on your hair – brush before showering
* If you have wavy, curled, tight or bunched hair, comb it when its wet
* Trim your hair every 6 weeks or so – keeps it growing at its best rate and makes the ends look good too!
2. Some hairstyles are better for your hair than others
* Dont overstyle, or style too often
* Blowdrying, curling and curling irons are hard on the hair
* Bleach and chemical dyes are also hard on the hair and may weaken it
* This goes for swimming in pools which have bleach in them to – bathing caps may be in order!
3. Dont tangle your hair when showering
4. Find a great Shampoo and Conditioner – experiment to find what works for you
5. Dont forget to try a volumiser!
6. Rub olive oil on your hair and scalp – give yourself a nice scalp massage at the same time (or swap with a friend!)
7. Make sure you drink enough water

When hair naturally grows slow

1. In the winter
2. When you are pregnant
3. Once menopause sets in
4. If your anorexic – your body doesnt have enough energy to grow your hair
5. Thyroid conditions can have an impact on hair growth

Vegetarians and hair growth
If your vegetarian, make sure you take in enough Vitamin C; Vitamin C along with Iron and B vitamins are essential for healthy hair growth. In fact multivitamins may be in order, but make sure you actually need them before spending money on the latest and greatest range. If you think you need a multivitamin because you are losing hair or your hair is too slow growing, ask your doctor.
