Technique Tuesday
How Everybody Can Have Good Hair
Welcome back… and thank you for reading today’s blog post. It’s “Technique Tuesday and we are about to CHOP it up with ya girl… The Kitchentician. In today’s blog we will discuss the VALUE of a good stylist… being equal to having good hair.
Last week we discussed the history of where the Natural Hair Care movement began. How many cultures addressed having natural hair as a privilege and a symbol of honor and beauty. This is why today we are discussing the value of a good stylist. There are plenty of people today that are taking the natural hair care industry by storm. These same people are good at what they do as a stylist… but are they good as natural hair caretakers? I have heard of some wacky techniques to create the illusion of “good hair.” And just so you know… that good hair is beyond ethnicity as so it is more about proper hair care itself. So let’s CHOP it up about some of the tacky techniques that are creating the dawn of the bad hair days!!!
The first one is using vaginal cream in order to promote hair growth; Monistat 7 to be exact. The only thing that I am aware that Monistat products are good for is vaginal yeast infection, but from what I understand, it allegedly helps to promote a better scalp, in order to allow hair to grow easily through the follicle. I have to admit that in my curiosity I watched a few YouTube videos and I was shocked. Women were so excited about this new craze that they endured painful side-effects that ultimately caused critical follicle damage. This my friend is NOT a notable technique to use. I ain’t the one to gossip… but you can take this from me… a 13-year Master Barber/Stylist... Licensed Professional.
The second one is the ex all time favorite of a few of my clients… co-washing.
I can not stress enough that CONDITIONER is only to be used after a good stimulating shampoo. The problem with co-washing is that it does not cleanse the hair. First off… learn to follow the directions that are on the back of the bottle. What it states on the label… is what it needs to be used for. If the conditioner says, “after cleansing hair and scalp with shampoo, then apply conditioner from root to ends… leave in for 3-5 minutes then rinse,” then this is what you should do. The only type of conditioner that you should leave in your hair is one that says… “Leave-In Conditioner.”
This is just a couple of faulty techniques that I would steer clear from… Unless you want to experience what is known as an involuntary Big CHOP.
Now here are a couple of “good” techniques that you can use in order to grow and maintain “good hair.” They are simple, tried, and true. So here they are…
The first one is to get a good hair bush (boar bristle) and a wide tooth comb for detangling. You would want to part the hair into 4 sections… using the t-shape ear-to-ear and naper-to-neck. The trick for those who suffer from dry scalp can add a little ACV (apple cider vinegar)… a tablespoon will do it to balance the ph of the hair and scalp… thus softening the hair, making it more managble.The other trick is to also use a light oil such as grape seed oil or safflower oil to coat the hair to ensure a smooth comb out during the conditioning process. A dime size will work for each section of hair.
The second part is to brush at least 100 times a day. Hair brushing is natural stimulant and will ultimately promote lustrous, strong, shiny hair. Don’t take my word for it… The proof is in the pudding ~ 100% natural hair care techniques… that works.
So know that… a good head of hair is only as good as the advise and good advise is only as accurate as the expertise.
