4 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE STARTING A HEALTHY HAIR JOURNEY (HHJ)

Some of you might have heard about HHJ.Well in short,HHJ is all about the decision you make in growing healthy hair. To be able to do this,there are some practices you cease from doing that may cause damage to your hair. So,some facts that I think you should be aware of before starting this journey will be pointed out here.

1. Love your hair: Now that you have started HHJ,first thing you must do is to love your hair 100%. No matter how damaged it is. You just have to love it & that's when changes will occur. You ask how? By caring for it,pampering it like a baby,treat & handle it with love. Stop comparing your hair with other people,you will be discouraged. Understand what your hair loves and hates. What your hair needs & doesn't? Is your hair thin,full of build ups & dandruff,is it too short,it sheds,break,hairless hairline,dry,brittle, hard,etc? You just have to study your hair & stop ignoring it like it's not part of your body. Until you do this,I wonder

when changes will come. Sorry to say.

2. Goals should be decided: The question is what do you want? Ask a lot of people and they will tell you they want a very long hair. As long as Chinese or India hair? I know you will say of course. But the most important goal is to have shiny,soft,dandruff free,lovely healthy hair. When your hair is healthy,it will definitely grow to wherever you want it to. Hair retainment should also be considered,make sure your current hair doesn't break or shed. If it doesn't,it will grow. Most people discover that as their hair is growing,it's also breaking. And then they keep going round & round in the same circle. No improvements. Decide what you want your hair to look like,the length, thickness, softness,etc & work towards achieving it.

3. Create a good hair regimen: This should be done by figuring out what you want to incorporate in your hair regimen. Is it shampooing,conditioning, moisturizing & sealing,protective styling,use of silk or satin scarf? Some people do more than that. It all depends on what works for you & what you want. Also,the selection of hair products you use is considered as well. Some are product junkie. They buy lots of hair products  & at the end doesn't know which one  works for them. The best way to know the hair products that work for you is to try one at a time & not just buy every products every people say. Read about products review before buying them & buy the ones that you think  are mostly used by people that gives amazing result. A comprehensive post will be made on MY HAIR REGIMEN as we proceed

4. Time,Consistency & Patience: You don't expect to start HHJ today and expect miracle tomorrow or next week. No! It takes a period of time;months,years. Make sure you have a good camera when starting HHJ. Take a picture of your hair length at the front & back and continue to take pictures of your hair as you proceed. This will help you in comparing your hair before & after starting HHJ. I didn't say you should take pictures everyday o,let's say every 2-3months. Be consistent in your hair regimen as well. Today you have pampered it well & next 2weeks to come you are so busy you neglected the hair. And you expect improvement? For where? If you want to start,start for real & do exactly what you have to do to achieve your goals you have stated earlier. Stop procastinating, be consistent with your regimen & you will see changes in your hair. But most importantly,be patient because hair doesn't grow in a day. And until you achieve what you want,please don't give up. Be prayerful,talk to God & it will grow.
