Healthy hair care routine

So, since I'm trying to grow out my hair, I did lots of research, and started a hair care routine.  I want my hair to grow healthy and thick, so I'm trying to take care of it better, and I'm going just going to list all of the healthy ways I take care of my hair, and hopefully this helps someone

 else too!

1. First of all, I don't wash my hair everyday.  I wash my hair every other day, because washing your hair everyday really dries it out, and could cause breakage

2. Stay away from heat.  I stopped straightening and blow drying my hair so much, and i started wearing it natural, and I wash my hair in COLD water

3. Clip your ends.  This is the most important, you want all of the damaged parts (split ends) to be out of your hair, to reduce breakage, and so that your hair can grow healthy.  I actually clip my own ends about every 2 weeks

4. Don't brush your hair when it's wet.  I used to brush my hair in the shower, but not I cringe when people say they brush their hair in the shower.  When your hair is wet it is more fragile and it gets pulled out more easily

5. Keep your hair moisturized.  Any Organix shampoo and conditioner is really really good for moisture, but protein is also really important to because protein makes the hair strong.  I use Organix thick & full biotin & collagen shampoo and conditioner, because it moisturizes and it has protein

6. Don't put your hair in ponytails or an hairstyle that is too tight, because this could cause permanent damage to the hair follicle.  Most of the time, I wear my hair in a loose messy bun, and it looks cute and it's not damaging

7. Don't brush your hair too much, because it's damaging, and can pull out your hair

8. If you do blow dry your hair, blow dry it when it's DRY.  This sounds strange, but let your hair airdry first, then blow dry it.  Like I said before, it's not good to brush your hair when it's wet, and your hair turns out a lot straighter when you blow dry it when it's dry

9. If you do use any hot styling tools, always use a heat protectant
