Stop Breakage, Shedding, and Thinning Hair </h2><i>from</i>: Author: Seanie Williams <br><br><br /> For decades, creating a beautiful African American crown of glory has been seen as <br /> some kind of misnomer. How can one unlock the secrets of long Black hair? How can <br /> one experience ultra black hair growth? The list goes on and on. Growing black hair <br /> is not hard. Black hair can and does grow. Yet, certain styling techniques and <br /> products are needed to cause more fragile African American hair to grow.<br /> <br /> Rule #1: Employ the Right Shampooing and Conditioning Techniques<br /> <br /> 1) Use the right products. Do not use shampoos with sulfates or silicones. Although <br /> some Black women can experience hair growth no matter what product they use, <br /> 90% of black women (and men) have drier hair that requires all the natural <br /> oils it can get. Shampoos that contain sulfates, any derivative, glycols, and <br /> silicones (any ingredient that ends in CONE), take moisture away from black <br /> hair. This facilitates hair breakage, brittleness, and dryness. It can also <br /> create scalp conditions for some people. Beauty 4 Ashes A Double Portion Super <br /> Gro Shampoo is an excellent choice for curly textured, African American hair. <br /> It is all natural and contains natural and essential oils to stimulate Black <br /> hair growth. Plus, black hair needs oils anyway. While working in the hair <br /> care industry, I noticed many hair regeneration specialists who use the A Double <br /> Portion products and had results with their African American clients. You can <br /> find Beauty 4 Ashes products in certain salons, at their website <br /> (wwwdiscoverb4acom), or even on Ebay.<br /> <br /> 2) Shampoo your hair weekly. I know many African Americans shampoo their hair <br /> a lot less than once a week; however, to keep the hair follicles opened, s<br /> timulate blood circulation to the scalp, facilitate growth�and reduce hair <br /> build-up, scalp conditions, and germs�African American should wash their hair<br /> once a week. Men can wash more often. If you are using the right shampoo, you <br /> will not strip your hair of the natural oils it needs to grow and thrive.<br /> <br /> 3) Condition your African American hair. To grow black hair, you must give it <br /> moisture. Without moisture, it cannot thrive. Aubrey Organics GPB Protein <br /> Conditioner (wwwaubreyorganicscom) and Beauty 4 Ashes Super Gro Conditioner <br /> (wwwdiscoverb4acom) are excellent for increasing Black Hair Growth, <br /> maintaining hair moisture and restoring strength and shine. Plus, Beauty 4 <br /> Ashes Super Gro Conditioner actually contains over 15 ingredients that <br /> stimulate hair growth. Both products are all natural and should be used at <br /> least weekly.<br /> <br /> Rule #2: Watch How You Comb Your Hair: No No�s For Black Hair Growth<br /> <br /> 1) Combing Your Hair. I know many African Americans grew up brushing their <br /> hair; however, brushes, even plastic ones and ones made from boar bristles, <br /> can rip the hair, cause stress, and cause breakage. Thus, brushes are a <br /> no-no for longer, Black Hair. Instead, buy a large tooth comb with no ridges<br /> between each individual comb. Goody usually makes quality hair combs for<br /> Black hair. Do not use fine tooth comb.<br /> <br /> 2) Ripping Out Your Hair Growth. Watch Your Hands and Your Hair Dressers. <br /> Comb your hair from the bottom up, especially after shampoos. This will <br /> avoid tangles. Section your hair to comb it out and always apply some <br /> form of moisture to your hair before combing it. You don�t need a heavy cream. <br /> In fact, you should avoid mineral oil or petroleum based greases or hair lotions. <br /> But, use something similar to Carol�s Daughter�s hair milk (wwwcarolsdaughter) <br /> or Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead Follicle Fuze Hair Butters and Puritea Tea-Rific 10 <br /> Hair Lotion (wwwdiscoverb4acom). When at the salon, tell your hairdressers to <br /> not pull your hair or comb it from the top down. This will cause more breakage.<br /> <br /> 3) Moisturize your scalp with light hair oils and butters, not greases. Try <br /> olive oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil.<br /> <br /> Rule # 3: Lay Off the Chemicals and Heat.<br /> <br /> 1) While blow drying makes African American hair easier to comb and style, try <br /> to limit it to once a month. Braiding your hair is great alternative to <br /> straightening your hair with a blow dryer.<br /> <br /> 2) If you must blow dry, start at the ends and then go to the roots. Apply <br /> a nozzle to quicken the straightening process.<br /> <br /> 3) Do not overprocess the hair with relaxers or texturizers. If your African <br /> American hair already has chemicals on it, such as a relaxer, do not apply <br /> more chemicals, such as hair dyes and rinses.<br /> <br /> Your hair can grow and you can have great, beautiful long hair. For best <br /> results, use products such as Beauty 4 Ashes A Double Portion products <br /> (wwwdiscoverb4acom) or Aubrey Organics (wwwaubreyorganicscom).<br /> <br /> Stylist, columinist, and educator<br /> <br /> Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Seanie_Williams<br /> <br /> <br> </p> <p align="center"> <table border="0" width="468" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="50%" valign="middle" align="left" ><img src="./datas/img/gb_1.jpg" width="150" height="90"></td> <td width="50%" valign="middle" align="left" ><img src="./datas/img/gb_2.jpg" width="150" height="90"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" colspan="2" valign="top" align="left"> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td></tr> </table> </p> <p><br><div class="persobannercenter"><h2>Other Hair Braiding related Articles</h2> <p align="left"> <a href="permalink.php?article=Hair+Braiding+Styles.txt">Hair Braiding Styles</a><br /><a href="permalink.php?article=Hair+Braiding.txt">Hair Braiding</a><br /><a href="permalink.php?article=How+To+Find+The+Right+Hair+Braider.txt">How To Find The Right Hair Braider</a><br /><a href="permalink.php?article=Black+Hair+Basics.txt">Black Hair Basics</a><br /><a href="permalink.php?article=Styling+Techniques+that+Rob+Black+Hair+Growth.txt">Styling Techniques That Rob Black Hair Growth</a><br /></p> <h3>Do you want to contribute to our site : submit your articles <a href="submitarticle.php">HERE</a></h3> This space can be enabled / disabled from your admin panel! </div><br></p> <p><h2>Hair Braiding Specific links</h2><p><h4><a href='http://www.searchfeed.com/rd/Clk.jsp?s=mg&k=hair+braiding&lnk2=rhhE%3F..pAspl%27Btgeel%27pDB.ExeyiAhy%27zyE%3EEkxhCexsq%3D992HH4%29kEEsq%3D41692%29jeCqDxmq%3DMMMGHG%29htEe%3DG%29pDqe%3DH94686M6%29xkhe%3DLGGH4G68M%29px%3DLGGL8HH4G%29qDBksC%3Dvvv%27aDhzDoy%27pDB%295iext%3D9GG629116L48L%23HK%23HKG94%27969%27GG2%279%23HK%23HKxDC%29xCl%3D9%29hyyhkgsq%3D9MM%29geDhkgsq%3DM949%29Asq%3D6G96HM9%29psq%3D9884GH%29ixA%3DrhhE%23HK%23Gc%23Gcvvv%27ejhj9%27pDB%23Gcejhj9%60kqy%27rhBA%7C2%272928&p=69710&sid=359488&ex=1227020010392&snid=75'onmouseover=" window.status='http://www.hotjobs.com/'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" target=_blank>Get Hired </a></h3> <p> - Earn more money with a better job now <br /> -- http://www.hotjobs.com/ <p><h4><a href='http://www.searchfeed.com/rd/Clk.jsp?s=mg&k=hair+braiding&lnk2=rhhE%3F..pAspl%27Btgeel%27pDB.ExeyiAhy%27zyE%3EEkxhCexsq%3D992HH4%29kEEsq%3D41692%29jeCqDxmq%3DMM896M%29htEe%3DG%29pDqe%3DHML2LH92%29xkhe%3DLGGH4G68M%29px%3DLGGL8HH4G%29qDBksC%3Dvvv%27khDB%27pDB%295iext%3D9GG629116L48L%23HK%23HKG94%27969%27GG2%279%23HK%23HKxDC%29xCl%3DG%29hyyhkgsq%3DGMM%29geDhkgsq%3D61L4%29Asq%3D6H1GL69%29psq%3DG296HG%29ixA%3DrhhE%23HK%23Gc%23Gcvvv%27khDB%27pDB%23GcyEDhAsgrhy%23Gcfkpe%60hD%60oiyr%23Gc%23HcoxkCq%23HdKdON9%7C2%272928&p=69710&sid=359488&ex=1227020010392&snid=75'onmouseover=" window.status='http://www.atom.com/'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" target=_blank>Face to Bush - </a></h3> <p> - Exclusive exit interviews with President George W.
