Protective Style

At any given time, 90% of your hair is growing while the other 10% is in the resting phase. If the length of your hair remains the same for a long period of time, retention is most likely the issue. The ends are the oldest part of your hair. Treating your elders with care by tucking them away will keep your hair healthy, long and strong. To achieve this, try a few protective styles such as braids, weaves and buns.

    I don’t believe ‘Lil Rudy’ has a weave, remember when she was a child she had the longest thickest braids.

    The low stress thing is true. When I was in high school, I was overwhelmed with the courses I was taking. My hair was falling out in clumps. I couldn’t even touch my hair without losing hair. Even washing my hair…

    You write an article about “long hair” and yet show a bunch of women with weave.

    • Sher

      Those “bunch of women ” hair real, long and healthy. No weaves.

    Is the Apple cider vinegar to be used before the shampooing? I’m confused…is it a supplemental shampoo?

      You can use it as a rinse

      Lately I’ve been using it as a post-shampoo, pre-conditioning rinse. I spray a generous amount of it on my hair and scalp, let it sit for 30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. It’s virtually eliminated my dry, itchy scalp.
