Let's catch up with the story👇

• What happened

---

Long and full hair is every ladies desire to have but the ability to sustain or keep it without breakage is always the challenge. I started growing my hair after I finished my secondary school and since then, I have learned how to maintain my hair with the following ways;
• By avoiding plaiting sophisticated style; this is one of the causes of so many people to loose their hair or cut it after plaiting it I personally maintain simple and elegant style which I can loose by myself when I feel like, going to salon to loosen once hair is dangerous because they can help shorten your hair by cutting it to quicken their job.
• Knowing the type of hair I have; there are different categories of hair ranging from elastic hair, stubborn hair,soft and fragile hair,the ability to handle this hair texture rely on the hands of the owner, so have learnt over time to discover the type of hair I have and how to handle.

• Choosing the right product that suit my hair; this is another crucial thing in trying to grow once hair, sampling different products on your hair will be very dangerous because it can easily lead to hair breakout because those products might not be the right and suitable one that matches the texture of the hair.
Furthermore, avoiding online product can be the best option, although it works perfectly for one person does not mean that it is the right product for you,so I tried as much as possible not to get myself entangled with online product especially organically made YouTube videos and Facebook such as using parboiled Rice water to improve hair growth. I'm not doubting the ability and I'm not discouraging anybody from using it,my consideration is the right product for that suits my hair.
I want to further say that having understood the nature of my hair, I usually relax it thrice a year in the space of every four months

to reduce the usage of relaxer and also maintain texture since am using relaxed hair and the treatment I love applying in my hair is alovera gel the one planted at home.

• What I have learned from it

---

• I learnt that most people on low cut today some of them is because of using the wrong product that lead to loosing their hair, maintaining the product that suit my hair should be of great value.

• Secondly, Plaiting sophisticated style seen online or catalog should be avoided because most of those styles may not be plaited on somebody's hair but rather toy.
