Why Your Hair Vitamin Isn't Working

Hair vitamins really do help boost growth if you know how to take them the right way. I've had quite a few bad experiences with hair skin and nails vitamin mainly due to the high strength or dose. However, once I got to know the limit of biotin my body can handle, I have had immense benefits. You are taking it on empty stomach. Most supplements are to be taken during meals, especially main meals. That means you take them when you are eating so that it mixes with the food for digestion and absorption. You lack other nutrients. Taking just biotin alone may not suffice because you body may be lacking or deficient in other nutrients eg iron. If you are taking any biotin supplements, be sure to include a multivitamin to get the absolute best! Your hair practices are causing more harm. Taking hair vitamin won't automatically make your hair healthier. You need good healthy hair regimen to derive maximum impact or benefits.  You don't take it long enough.

How To Use Wild Growth Oils

There are two types of the wild growth oils; the oil moisturizer and the wild growth oil. What’s the difference? The oil moisturizer in the yellow bottle is a type of hair moisturizer but it has more oil than water. They are light weight and can be used daily, especially, if you are in a protective style.  To use oil moisturizers when your hair is out and free, I recommend you use your water based hair moisturizer such as As I Am So Much Moisture first and then follow up with the oil moisturizer. You may still follow up with any butter of your choice or even thick oil to seal.  The Wild Growth hair oil in the white bottle is mainly for scalp and edges. Aside the herbal smell, it's light weight and a little goes a long way.  Have you tried these two wild growth oils? 

When Do You Switch Relaxers?

 Using a particular brand of relaxer doesn't really matter until you probably notice changes in their ingredients or how your hair feels after use. You may also switch if you've noticed a certain problem with each use. For example, dry and itchy scalp. You may also be using a high strength relaxer which leaves your hair thin. Consider using 'fine to medium' instead of coarse.  Another factor to consider is the texture of your hair. Do you get the texture you want? If no, then it's time to switch. If your relaxer leaves you with burns despite all the healthy hair practices or measures you put in place prior to touch up, then you should consider switching. Lastly, if you are just curious to try other relaxers, be sure to read reviews first.

Dry scalp could stem from lack of adequate sebum on the scalp, using extensions or even washing the hair too frequently.  1) Get a dermatologist to check and diagnose the problem if you’ve had it from childhood or for a long period of time.  2) If it’s just dry scalp, use scalp mist with essential oils and oils like Avocado, Jojoba and emu oil.  3) Avoid heavy butters and oils on the scalp.  4) Exfoliate and detox your scalp regularly.  5) Find the cause of the dry scalp eg allergic to certain foods, hair extensions etc  6) Keep the styling tools clean. 

Moisture Protein Balance Tips

 Protein treatment is common among newbies from my personal observation because the first tagert is stopping breakage. The idea is strengthening the hair leads to less breakage. 1]Your products may already be balanced: from shampoo to your deep conditioner,you may have protein in the products already. 2] You don't need hard protein all the time.  3] Weekly light protein may actual be more favorable than hard protein once in a while. The thing sith Baird protein is you must follow up with moisture based deep conditioner. To save time and money, it may be more viable to use light protein often. 4] Don't wait till you need to balance it. If you useoisyire based products, you still need to incorporate protein at least every 3 months even if you have natural hair. Wear and tear may cause some damage and protein can help repair it.

Moisturizing and sealing is the food your hair needs to thrive and if you aren't doing it well, you'll definitely have to contend with dry and brittle hair all the time!
