How Healthy Is Your Hair? | Comments

Here's the second part of my comment - it got cut off

15. Work conditioner into your hair

16. Use sulfate-free scalp scrub or hair mask after you shampoo and before you conditioner once a week and leave it in for 5 to 10 minutes before washing

17. Get a shower head that filters out the excess calcium and magnesium in hard water and that doesnt raise your hairs cuticle.

18. Wash your hair only once a week since getting your hair wet causes it to swell and then de-swell, and the repeated action of swelling when its wet and then deswelling to dry causes damage to the hair by wearing down your hairs protection, leading it to become more susceptible to damage. It is also good to wash your hair only once a week since shampoos remove some of the good oils from our hair in the process of cleaning it. However, you should still wash your hair no less than once a week since not washing it will lead to a build-up of bacteria and dirt particles, which will also damage your hair. You can use a microfiber shower cap to make sure that your hair doesnt get wet on the rest of the days that you dont wash it while also ensuring that the material of the shower cap isnt causing damaging friction to your hair

19. Use a deep conditioner each week you wash your hair

20. Use a protein treatment once a month for split ends. Apply it to wet hair and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes before washing it off

21. Work your way down your hair from mid-length to ends with keratin oil, castor oil, argan oil, or coconut oil without touching your scalp before you shower. Argan oil and coconut oil should be used especially since they reduce the swelling of hair, protect your hair from hair chemicals in shampoos, and, due to their smaller particles, they can penetrate into the hair itself so that its working from the inside out

22. Rinse your hair with warm water, not hot since hot water makes your hair brittle

23. Never go into an area that is below freezing while your hair is wet since it can lead

This didn't really seem to address questions regarding your hair's health. I'd say that, if someone wanted to ensure that they had healthy hair, they should be doing all the following:

1. Avoid dry climates. Use humidifiers to increase humidity levels

2. Put on hair sunscreen when out in the sun
3. Drink lots of water

4. Consume foods and supplements containing vitamins, zinc, iron, biotin, essential fatty acids, and protein so that way you arent deficient in essential nutrients. Take 10,000 mcg biotin pills for a month and take a 2-month break before starting the next bottle

5. Take care of your hairline by switching your part every 6 months

6. Dont pull or tie your hair
7. Avoid chlorine from touching your hair

8. No straightening, curling, or blow-drying hair (air dry your hair instead)

9. Dont towel dry your hair since causing friction to your hair is damaging

10. No hair dye

11. Use shampoo and conditioner with vitamin E, vitamin B5, zinc, and iron

12. Avoid shampoos and conditioners with sulfates or chemical/silicone ingredients, such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Sodium Lauroyl Isoethionate, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isoethionate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Dimethicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Dimethiconol, Stearyl Dimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, and Stearoxy Dimethicone. Ingredients should be natural since chemical ones overly wash your hair to the point of stripping your hair of its natural oils that are necessary towards growth while natural ones help seal your cuticle. Do not use sudsy or lathery shampoos since they have chemicals in them to make them have that texture

13. Use lower PH shampoos since they open up your hair cuticles in order to get protein further down your hair shaft to temporarily strengthen your hair at the cost of making your hair more susceptible to damage. The best P.H. level for shampoo is 3.5 to 4.5

14. Apply shampoo to the scalp and roots
15. Work cond

... Ughh I'm sorry it keeps cutting off my comment. Here's the third part.

24. Massage your scalp 4 minutes a day with a scalp massager

25. Use a round, large barrel wooden boar brush that doesnt have hard, spiky, and stiff bristles and start gently brushing on the bottom and then work your way up to the top

26. Brush your hair once a day before you shower. Never brush your hair when it is wet

27. Dont use dry shampoo since it clogs your hair follicles and prevents hair from growing

28. Sleep on silk pillowcases
29. Dont sleep with wet hair
30. Use overnight treatments
31. Get an oil treatment every 2 months

32. Trim your hair a quarter-inch every four months to get rid of damaged parts of your hair. Trims dont cause your hair to grow faster but split ends will break off, causing your hair to not increase in length since your hairs ends are breaking off too frequently for it to increase in length. You cant mend split ends either. They must be cut off or else they will split until the hair falls off.

1. blowdrying is bad for your hair.

2. you don't need to go to a stylist daily, it's just a waste of time and money nobody has enough of

3. just because people can't afford expensive shampoo doesn't mean they don't get good shampoo

4. just because im not an airhead who fixes her hair every time she sees a mirror (cough, cough), doesn't mean my hair isn't healthy.

6. my friends and i are not airheads who don't know about anything except hair, so we don't find hair that interesting. it doesn't mean we don't have good hair

7. just because my hairstyle never changes doesn't mean my hair isn't HEALTHY

9. over brushing your hair causes frizz

10. u can't tell someone what the right or wrong answer is to a question about their opinion

this quiz was not about how healthy your hair is, it was about how much you pamper your hair. if somebody pampers their hair much more than any person should and spends all day making sure it looks good doesn't mean that person has healthy hair. in fact, that person's hair is probably unhealthy because of being over pampered.

I scored low and got mostly D's, but my hair is very healthy. I'm going to have to disagree with your idea of healthy. Doing all that stuff to hair isn't going to make it healthy, it will make it damaged.

I got A,s sooooo true isn't it I do really pay attention to my hair isn't it great and it is healthy it would be lying if it said otherwise
