A Splittin Debate

Ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Please, please, please do NOT fall for the swindle that a product can fix, or reverse split ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't say it enough. Once a split end has occurred, the hair has fractured and there is no going back from that. The only true remedy to a split end is to trim it off!!!!! Products that claim to "fix/eliminate" split ends are bending the truth. A lot of these products have silicones in them and these silicones are ingredients in the products that coat the hair strand. They may TEMPORARILY seal the strand and give the APPEARANCE of a quote unquote "healed" split end. But it's only temporary...truly...don't be taken for a fool. Silicones make the hair look shiny and smooth which isnt a bad thing...but its not healing anything....keep it cute ladies....but smart....

Did You Just Get Some Sun-Kissed Highlights???

Hey Girlies!!!!!
I don't know about you girls, but I got my sun-kissed highlights to warm up my face for the summer, and I'm sure so many of you girls out there have got them or are gonna get them too. Now highlights are cute,.....really cute, but they can very easily become BIG trouble. Especially for girls that chemically relax their hair or girls that have fragile tresses to begin with. Keeping the hair VERY well moistured is an absolute MUST!!!!!!!! Weekly treatments that boost your hair's moisture content is not just a "treat"ment its a MUST do. Deep conditioning the hair with a once a week oil treatment, coconut milk deep conditioner, olive oil treatments, avocado masks or any other moisture giving goodies will make your hair happy enough to not break off. Balancing protein and moisture treatments are also wonderful. Blow drying the hair excessively as well as using any kind of heat styling can also be very detrimental. Baby your hair after highlighting, especially if you have fragile hair or already chemically treated hair...we all want to look cute ladies, I KNOW, but do it right...making all your hair break off because of hair negligence isnt cute in the least.... Good Luck!!!!!!!!
Just a quick but UBER useful tip...garlic shampoo and conditioner are great ways to battle hair that sheds alarmingly and to stop excessive breakage.....you can usually find it in beuty supply stores....
