6 Worst Things For Curly Hair

Brushing or combing hair when dry will cause frizz and breakage. Instead do while conditioning or when hair is wet.

Shampooing hair too often will strip curls of the natural oils it needs, causing dry, brittle strands and itchy scalp.

Towel drying your hair can cause dryness. Use a t-shirt instead to get rid of excess water.

Not using heat protectant if you straighten your hair regularly will cause your strands to become brittle and prone to heat damage, breakage and have lots of split ends.

Pulling your hair too tight while having it in a ponytail will cause tension, causing your hair to break and baldness

Not deep conditioning will not give your hair the moisture it needs. Since curly hair is naturally drier than other hair types,  deep conditioning it exposes it to nutrients that help reduce breakage.

4 Easy Homemade Protein Treatment For Dry and Damaged Hair

Every day styling can strip moisture out of your hair. Your hair is made up of protein.  The best way to put moisture and shine back  to your hair is  by getting a protein treatment. Protein smooths the cuticle of the hair, creating smoother strands and stronger hair. Protein treatments are expensive at salons. Instead of buying those pricey treatments you can make your own easily at home. Homemade protein treatments are all natural and with frequent use you get a long lasting result.

Egg Mask- Egg is the best source of protein for your hair. The yolk is rich in fat and protein which is extremely moisturizing. The white is full of bacteria eating enzymes which cleanses your hair and scalp. Use a full egg for normal to dry hair. For oily hair and scalp, use only whites. Egg alone or mixed with more protein rich ingredients can be applied to the hair. This treatment can be used every two weeks or monthly.
