Show Your Crown Some Love 💘



Did you know???


The crown of your hair and scalp is the most exposed and can experience breakage, thinning and dryness faster than any other area.


This is mainly due to :

- CONSTANT SUN EXPOSURE
- SLEEPING HABITS
- CONSISTENT USE OF AN OVERHEAD DRYER
-STRESS OR TENSION ON THE AREA FROM STYLING
-NATURAL MOISTURE/Oil LOSS DUE TO GRAVITY

So how can you protect your crown??


- Where satin lined caps when sleeping, or during prolonged Sun exposure

- Avoid laying on the back of your head

- Dry your hair on low/cool settings or air dry

-Section differently when parting/styling

- Moisturize the area with water in between wash days

-Try Scalp Massages to improve circulation and sebum production

-Try pineappling the hair when you DC


The are just a few yet hopefully very helpful ways you can minimize dryness, tangles, and breakage in the crown area. It seems like most naturals struggle with this and hopefully this gives some insight as to why and what you can do!


Don't forget to show that crown 👑 some love! It's the only one your born with! 😉

Understanding Hair Loss: Shedding Vs. Breakage

Shedding Vs Breakage, what's the difference?? Okay so I know neither of these terms are good to hair or to hear, especially for those on a growth journey or those who just want to have a healthy head of hair. But in some cases one of these occurrences is actually a lot better than the other. How so? Just walk with me for a moment... Often times hair shedding is perfectly normal! On average, we shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. When the body sheds significantly more hairs every day, a person has excessive hair shedding, but more on that later. So imagine if you're not combing or detangling your hair everyday, say you only do this once a week. This is a common practice among many naturalistas with highly textured hair, and can look like a massive loss on wash day. But if you think about the possible hundreds of strands sitting and waiting in your hair all week, what you are seeing is more than likely very normal. So what does shedding lo...

The Ultimate Hydrator

The best ingredient for hydrating your hair is water... Just to make it plain... Water is your No. 1 source of hydration and moisture. If a product claims to moisturize your hair, it can only work with moisture a.k.a water that is already in your hair. Read your product directions Sis! The majority of leavins, conditioners and even styling products advise you to apply the product on wet or damp hair. That's because they were formulated to work best on wet hair, this is when your cuticle is open to receive moisture, and receive product. If are your hair is dry when you are piling products onto your strands, it's just sitting on top our your hair, causing build up and eventually making your hair even dryer. Please keep in mind... Please keep this in mind as well.... oils, butters and greases do not moisturize your hair. It's just not possible, they do not contain water. Most of these act as sealants! Sealants - Sealant is a substance used to block the passag...

The last leg of my 90-day Challenge (FINALLY), Presenting: Genie Locs!

Image
You have to excuse me for my delay. It's been a busy couple of weeks and I have been away from my computer quite a bit, not to mention completing my finally protective style took me some time. I'm definitely feeling it. I have always flirted with the idea of have locs, and this lets me explore that notion completely, but this definitely is time consuming, particularly if you have been blessed with an already long and thick head full of hair. I'm going to try and stretch this style for as long as possible, as I don't look forward to the take down. I'll be adding videos on it to my YouTube channel, LCConceptz1 soon. So look out for more, and don't forget to subscribe!
