Hair Food

                                                          Good food for Good Hair!

Last week I was thinking about what I could write about this week. 

The issue of food "good " food, and what it does for our bodies came forcing its way to the top of the list.

I'm afraid that our conversation about food and diet have dulled our senses because it comes at us like annoying little jabs about how poor our American diet is. We talk about food like it's our enemy, and it can be.

My purpose of this blog is to talk about how what you eat can really help grow beautiful hair. I have no problem with zaftig bodies as long as beautiful hair crowns the head of the curvaceous form.

After years of doing lots of the fuller figured female, I notice that rarely do these larger lovelies have bad hair.

Please understand that eating too much is not the idea that I'm trying to stress here, but a diet rich in various types of good healthy food will nourishes your body. 

Not only good hair, but skin shows the results of eating "well" ( pun intended).

Water is a must for life at its most basic level, we are mostly water! Drink lots of water and your hair will have a good chance of being long and shiny.

Iron is important for women who are of child bearing years.

Red meat and green leafy veggies can help in this regard.

Since I'm not a nutritionist I can only encourage you read books on good nutrition.

This posting is dedicated two of the most beautiful women who shall remain private , but you know who you are? Believe the fact that eating for health while you are healthy is pretty good insurance that all of the systems in your bodies will work for you and all you hope to be. SWOOOSH! JUST DO IT!

Layer It On Me

There are so many products that can potentially help or harm your hair, that I can not indorse any without knowing everything about your hair. 

Hopefully you have a hair stylist who can give you the information that you need, but if you would like a second opinion on the details of the service that you are receiving by all means ask away.

A few things that I think you should know are the types of conditioners  and what they can do.

Most highly textured hair( kinky to very wavy) tends to be dry and might be helped by a moisturizing conditioner, most of which coat the hair with a waxy substance. 
When capped and place under a dryer the conditioner on your hair is deposited on top of the hair shaft call the cuticle, the heat from the dryer lifts the cuticle and the conditioner is partially deposited under the cuticle.

This process gives shine and softness to the hair and makes it easier to comb the hair.

Relaxed hair needs a combination of moisture and protein.

There are lots of products that are formulated to impart the proper amount of balance.

Too much moisture will leave the hair limp and will not bounce or hold curl.

Too much protein will make the hair brittle and can actually brake the hair.

I can not stress enough the importance of consulting with your hair stylist.
If you don't have one and do you hair at home please don't hesitate to leave a comment that I can respond to.

One of the things that your hair stylist can tell you that I can not is how strong your hair is. I may be able to help you and your stylist as a consultant. Three heads are better than one. Jargon among hair professionals could also get to the heart of the problem quicker.

One more item that I want to talk about is over conditioning.
This an issue that often goes undetected because we use shine enhancers that will give the hair sheen for a while, but the true shine of healthy hair can be hidden by layers of dull waxy residue building up on the cuticle of the hair.
If your hair is healthy but dull, try using a hair clarifier. Strong enough to clear the residue from you hair, and gentle enough to leave the health and natural shine behind. 
Now your conditioner will work better and you will see beautiful results.
