THE ROOT OF THE MATTER IS: GENETICS

          We'd kill to have that long, runway, flowing model hair that we see so often in hair show, commerical, or magazines. Truth is, it took alot of time and effort by professional hair stylists to achieve that look. These models were not born with that 'perfect' hair.
Our hair varies from strands, to color, to pattern, to texture, which gives all of our hair a unique look. I'll explain how each of these play a part. So the next time you complain about your hair just remember, it's all genetics. No product on the market is going to permanently change your hair.

STRANDS- On average, the head has about 100,000- 120,000 strands of hair. So if you have more strands, your hair will appear fuller, if you range in this average, you have will appear normal, and if you have less, your hair will appear thinner.

COLOR- The darker your hair the thicker the strands are. If your hair is black, reddish, or a dark brown, the strands will appear the thickest. Blonde and light brown appears to be thinner. (If you've every lightened your have from dark to light, you will be able to test this on your own hair. Pull a strand out after you've accumulated some new growth and see how the strand goes from thick to thin.)

PATTERN- African/Black hair is the most fragile. This is because of the pattern of the hair when it grows out. It makes all kinds of twist and turns and zigzags, making each of those curls and corners a potential breaking point. Asians have the thickest hair. Their hair is very straight and heavy.

STOP DAMAGING YOUR HAIR

Did you know that brushing and/or combing your hair causes damage? By brushing and/or combing your hair frequently causes damage to your cuticle; It's chipping away at and causing friction to the cuticle which eventually causes damage to your hair. For many of us, brushing and combing our hair is a daily routine, these are the hair tools we use to style our hair. We can still you these tools but in a different way. Once you kick your old habit of how you brush and comb your hair now and become more familiar with the correct way, it will become second nature and you will be on your way to a healthy start.

- TRY  BRINGING BRUSHING AND/OR COMBING YOUR HAIR  TO A MINIMUM- THE LESS  THE BETTER

- LEAVE IT ALONE! IF YOU CAN, AVOID TOUCHING YOUR HAIR

- WHEN BRUSHING HAIR, ONLY USE SOFT BRISTLES

- DO NOT USE A BRUSH ON WET HAIR (PREFERABLY WIDE TOOTH COMBS)

- WHEN WRINGING YOUR HAIR, TRY TO GENTLY WRING WITH A TOWEL OR HANDS      (ANYTHING ELSE CAUSES FRICTION)
