~If you are not going anywhere,no need to wash your hair to restore its moisture.In my end I wash my hair every other day.If you are not comfortable doing so,do not use shampoo everyday but make it a habit to use conditioner every time you wash your hair.
DON'Ts
~Do not use flat irons or curling irons to style your hair especially when your hair is wet!It can cause split ends,which makes your hair grow too slow,or better say not letting your hair to grow.But if it is necessary,let your hair dry first and use heat protectant before using these hair stylers.
~Do not brush your hair while its wet,when our hair is wet our hair is brittle,so do not force brushing your hair as it may cause breaking.
~Do not use blow dryer to dry your hair.There's a lot of time to dry your hair anyway,you can actually wash you hair before bedtime.
REMEMBER: There is no shortcuts in growing our hair too fast we can not achieve it overnight.But knowing the do's and don'ts can be beneficial! So happy to share it to you girls!Till next time have a long and healthy hair..
