Super Foods For Healthy Hair

-
We all love food and food is very important when it comes to your health. We may not realize it but a lot of what we eat can affect the healthiness of our hair. Apart of being healthy is having a healthy diet and lifestyle. It can be hard to be healthy between school, extracurricular activities, and work. I am all about being healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally. Being healthy is more than just working out and eating healthy; you also have to think about your mental health. If you are stressed out a lot that can lead to hair loss or thinning of the hair. Super-foods can help with the healthiness of your hair, and your overall health.

1). Fish- Fish is a super-food; especially Salmon. Salmon has a lot of omega3- fatty acids which help with hair growth. Fish contains Vitamin D and protein which are not only good for hair growth and keeping your scalp healthy but are also good for you overall health. Vitamin D helps with strengthening your bones and teeth. Fish Oil supplements are also recommended.

2). Berries- Berries of any kind are very helpful when it comes to your hair; Strawberries, Blueberries, and Blackberries just to name a few are full of vitamins that stimulate hair growth. Berries are loaded with antioxidants and Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps protect against heart disease and high cholesterol.

3). Nuts- Nuts such as Almonds also promote hair growth. Almonds provide Vitamin E, fatty acids and zinc; which help with hair growth. Almonds also have a great source of magnesium helps with hair, skin, and nail growth. Vitamin E also helps stop split ends, and promote silky smooth hair.

4). Sweet Potatoes- White potatoes are not so healthy for you considering the fact they are a starch and turn into sugar once they enter the body. Sweet Potatoes are super healthy. Sweet potatoes have Vitamin A; which is important for hair growth and help with maintaining a strong immune system. Sweet potatoes are also a good source of beta-carotene.


All of these super-foods help with not only our hair but also your overall body. It is hard to be healthy all the time; but by incorporating some of these foods in your diet it will help you live a longer and healthier lifestyle.

Nighttime Routine

-
Hey Sistas, I have a video showing you how I take care of my wig while my natural hair is braided under the wig. It is important to take care of your weave and your natural hair while wearing a wig. I have had this hair for two years but the first time I wore the hair as a sew in. I let a friend make a wig out of it and this is how I have been wearing my hair lately.   At night rime I detangle my hair and add OGX conditioner and water to it.   I mix OGX conditioner and water in a spray bottle and I wet my hair all the way through. After I wet my hair all the way through I comb through it once again to make sure it is all detangled. Next I twist my hair up and I take my wig off at night and place it on a styrofoam wig head to dry overnight. In the morning I wake up put my wig cap on and place my wig on top of the wig cap. I also oil my natural hair at night with Tea Tree Oil to insure my real hair is still getting moisture. This nighttime routine is super easy and it leaves my w

Hey Sistas, many girls in college are natural and love their natural hair, but it can definitely be a hassle. There are those day where you just really don’t know what to do with your hair. Many college girls choose to wear protective hairstyles such as; braids, weave, wigs and twist.   Between classes, homework, work, and extra-curricular activities protective hairstyles are easier to maintain. I sat down with Dana Mitchell to talk about her natural hair journey and protective hairstyles. Q: When did you become natural? A: I became natural around 2015. I was tired of my relaxed hair and it was not growing how I wanted it. Q: How has your natural hair journey been? A: My natural hair journey has been great!   I will say going natural was the best thing I could have done. My hair has grown way longer and it is thick and healthier. Q: Did you transition or did you do the big chop? A: I transitioned; I did not have the guts to cut my hair. I was scared I would look fun

Hey Sistas, a wash and go is my go to hair style. It is super simple in the summer; especially for me I just wash my hair and go. The name tells it all; basically you wash your hair and go on with your day. Although, a wash and go is simple for me it is a harder for others especially trying to find the right products. A lot of products are not needed for a wash and go but you still have to attempt to add in something that will give your natural hair some shine and moisture. Here are the steps to achieve a  successful wash and go.  1.       First Co-wash your hair with a conditioner ( OGX Biotin & Collagen). Washing helps get rid of all the product build up. Using conditioner to co-wash helps moisturize your hair. Shampoo strips your hair of its moisture that is why it is importation to co-wash with conditioner.  2.       While I’m co-washing my hair I part my hair into section and detangle my hair with a wide tooth comb. A wide tooth comb really separates the h
