Tell Me What to Use so I Can Grow Hair Like Rapunzel, Tomorrow




New email from Chicoro


Does this sound like a ridiculous request? Well, that depends. I get this question in many forms almost every day. Tell me what to use to stop my breakage. Tell me what to use to get my hair to grow. Tell me what to do to minimize dryness. Everybody wants an answer tailored to their exact situation. That's understandable. What is not stated is that many of these same folks want the name of the product and a guarantee that it will work for them and by tomorrow! The "will work for them" translates to having the expectation that it will transform damaged hair to Barbie doll pony tails over night." Now none of that is understandable. There is nothing wrong with wanting and asking for product recommendations. Just be clear about what you are asking and what you are wanting. Anyone who tells you that a product is perfect for you without knowing the basic science of hair, your hair challenges and goals or what you currently do for your hair is focused on a product, not YOU nor your hair. If you want someone to tell you what to use with no background about your hair, be prepared for general information that could probably apply to most hair and to almost anyone. That may or may not resolve your hair issue. If you really want to know what products to use, then you have to do some work. You don't have to buy every product on the market either. So what do you need to do? Four Steps to Keep in Mind: 1. Have a basic understanding about hair. Hair has a slight negative charge. Shampoo is made to rinse from your hair. Conditioner is made to stick to your hair. 2. Know what you have done to your hair to have it look like it does today. Know your routine and your products. Know your problems and your goals. Know your hair. 3. Learn how to dissect and understand any store bought product. Most shampoos and conditioners work as stated in #1. Even mud shampoo and bentonite clay in water have charges that work with hair. Most shampoos and conditioners have three parts: a solvent, surfactants and additives. 4. Put it all together to figure out which products work best for you. The next four articles will address these four steps in more detail. I hope you are ready! Chicoro BeautifybitbybitGi.com
