As much as I love the internet for all the information there is at our finger tips, there is much to be said about throwing caution to the wind. If you search natural hair advice on google, a million things pop up; some good, some not so good. As 2020 comes to an end (hallelujah) we must make sure our #hairgoals are on point and truly promote hair health and much as hair length.

As you read this list and reflect on it, some things seem so common sense, but as I am often reminded, common sense is not so common!

Here are 10 Common Natural Hair Mistakes:

1. Detangling dry hair – if anything makes my blood boil it is this one. Stop it. Put some blueberry deep conditioner on that hair before you rip out your lovely strands trying to detangle dry hair. Not only is dry detangling harmful for your hair, it is really painful.
2. Not Sleeping with a satin bonnet or pillow case. You must cover your hair when you sleep, protect your hair at night. Satin hair bonnets or silk pillow cases are a must have if you are trying to preserve your natural hair styles or curls.
3. Too much heat. Too much heat leads to heat damage. Heat damage reduces hair growth, which leads to some people using more heat and the vicious cycle continues. Limit the use of hot combs, flat irons, blow drying, etc  and what your texture come alive.
4. Not taking care of your body – Ultimately healthy hair starts from within. Yes, this is our slogan for a reason. Hair grows from the scalp which is directly affected by how we take care of our bodies from the inside. This means maintaining a healthy diet, drinking water, a good balance of vitamins and nutrients, and a healthy body.
5. Over manipulation – We all remember when Sanaa Lathan shaved her hair for the movie, Nappily Ever After. Recently, she posted a pic on instagram with a head full of healthy hair. She attributes this growth to protective styles, braids, and almost no heat. One of the best ways to grow natural hair is leave it alone.
6. Too much protein. Now, this one can be tricky because the right amount of protein can help hair grow but too much protein makes hair hard and stunts growth. Protein treatments should be done in moderation. Our coconut souffle leave in conditioner infuses protein into the hair and helps condition hair for amazing growth.

7. Lack of patience. Hair growth happens at about 1/2 inch per month on average. That’s a grand total of about 6 inches per year for the hair on your head. Hair growth is like weight loss, it won’t happen over night. You have to exercise patience and lots of it.
8. Not taking hair vitamins. It is best to get vitamins and nutrients from your diet. Most of us don’t, so taking a good vitamins with biotin, folic acid, zinc, etc is really good for our hair and our entire body. Read labels as many vitamins have harmful chemicals. HairYum vitamins truly work and don’t cause skin breakouts.
9. Not following product directions. Directions are made for optimum product performance; this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t experiment. It simply means that sometimes success is as simple as doing as you’re told. Read labels and follow directions.
