I have found that one should refrain from washing ones hair more than three or four times a week. Frequent washing will eventually strip hair of the natural nutrients that it needs in order to remain soft and healthy. As a result, your hair will lose its radiance, taking on a dry, dull appearance. I would also suggest that you condition your hair as much as possible.
For me personally, I apply a mixture of olive oil and mashed avocado directly on my hair and let it remain there for up to 6 minutes while I shower. After I have rinsed, shampooed, and re-rinsed, my hair is at its best. I will then apply a small amount of hair treatment to my split ends.(I recommend Burts Bees avocado hair treatment.) Following that procedure, resist the temptation to dry, curl, or style your hair. Chemicals and heated irons will only damage your hair, and create even more split ends: I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed reading this. I hope that my advice will help you, and remember that true beauty lies within. Thank you.
