Too Many Hands in Your Hair

This is something my mom and grandmother used to tell me when I was little. They used to say, “Don’t let everyone touch, comb, or style your hair because it won’t grow anymore.” I was clueless about that saying all the time, but I would never let a bunch of people touch or do my hair too much.

I understand that saying now that I am older. It is not the fact that the hair will not grow anymore, but it will break off if too many people style the hair. I know now that everyone is not capable of doing someone else’s hair even if they are a beautician. Sticking with a stylist that knows your hair and knows what products will work on it will make a big difference. If you are constantly going to different people letting them do stuff to your hair it will eventually break off. I have seen the effects of this common practice although not on my hair, but my sister’s hair.  Getting to know the person that does your hair is a big deal because they know what you like and what you do not like done.

If you do not like what anyone does to your hair and you just cannot seem to find a stylist; do it yourself. You can be your own hair stylist with time, patience, and education. What you will need are a couple of weekends out of each month to start with. Let someone trim your ends every 6-8 weeks to rid the uneven or split ends. Do that till you feel comfortable with cutting your own ends. Relaxed heads may not want to try applying the relaxer at home, but it just depends on your comfort level. Natural heads don’t have to worry about putting relaxers in their hair, but maybe some permanent color. Doing all of these things to your own hair is not impossible you just have to take the time to educate yourself. If you get discouraged just think about all the money that you will save on going to the salon. Doing your own hair and not having to wait for the next available appointment will pay off. I am not bashing the beauticians, but I know there are people that are never satisfied unless they do it themselves.

Even though this saying told to me when I was young, sounds like an old wives tale; it is very much in effect now. Not being able to grow healthy hair is a big problem for many women.  Keeping  this simple saying in your mind can ensure that healthy hair will be on your head and not your floor. When you see that your hair is not holding up to its full potential asses your hair and what has been done to it. Think about who is doing your hair and if that is the only person touching your hair. Having too many hands in your hair is a real factor in hair breakage and loss.
