Hair grows at a rate of 1/2 inch per month; averaging 6 inches of growth per year. However, if you have
been growing your hair out for two years and it's still 6 inches long in a bob hair style, you may be experiencing
some hair breakage along the way because of improper hair care.
Being a nurse, as well as a cosmetologist, I know that certain medications that a client may be taking by prescription
can lead to hair problems as well.
However, If your not on any medications and your hair is not growing at the rate that it should, then you should look
at your hair care routine and examine it to see where you are going wrong.
Hair breakage & damage can result if your doing your own hair and applying chemical relaxers & hair color
incorrectly, not using proper products for your hairs condition or going to the wrong hair stylist. Some hair stylist
give you a pretty hair style, but not all of them take care of your hair properly to maintain healthy hair or promote hair
growth.
The same products, or hair regimine is different for every client.
Note:
I don't recommend clients apply their own hair color, relaxer or any other chemical themselves. Nor, do I give
any advice to those who choose to do so own their own. Self apply chemicals to your hair at your own risk.
It's not always good to call around asking for prices on services so you can go with the "cheaper" hair stylist.
Cheaper is not always better and the health of your hair & scalp can pay the price.........
**Is cheaper worh the cost to your hair & scalp in the long run?
Some clients try to cut salon cost by applying their own relaxers or hair color at home ; then they only go
to the hair salon to get a shampoo & style. Well, I notice the difference between the clients that let me
apply their relaxer, and those who apply it themselves at home.
Self applied relaxer or self applied color clients:
1. Have breakage and/ or thinning hair.
2. Hair & scalp is always drier than normal
3. Hair growth is minimal because of breakage related to self
applying chemicals, so any noticable growth is not seen.
because hair is constanly breaking off.
Some peolpe may say their hair growth is " stunted".
*** Everybody hair grows, so it's not stunted. You won't see
progress with growth because it's breaking or thining
because of impoperly applyig chemical or hair regimine.
Salon applied relaxer or color and comming ever week or every two weeks for salon maintenance:
1. Healthy hair & scalp
2.Hair growing at the rate it should be growing with no
breakage.
However, I do recommend that clients come every week or every two weeks for any hair care services.
