Healthy Hair Guide
Healthy Hair begins with the Roots! Just like a flower with its roots reaching deep into the earth, good hair starts with a healthy scalp. Your hair will flourish if you take the necessary steps to maintain a healthy scalp.
1.RETAIN MOISTURE
The JC'S Miracle Serum will seal in the moisture from the leave in conditioner and help retain the moisture to keep your scalp hydrated. You want your scalp to absorb and retain moisture well so the strands growing out of it can be healthy as well. Of course, the JC'S Miracle Leave-In Hydrating Mist is great for moisturizing your scalp and hair.
2.NO CHEMICALS
Be sure your products are made up of mostly natural ingredients. Chemicals in your products can cause irritation or dryness. Natural products won’t make your scalp react that's why the JC'S Miracle hair products are so great.
3.MAKE SURE TO SHAMPOO WHEN NEEDED
Take in account your hair type to determine how often you should shampoo or wash your hair. You don’t want to shampoo too much but when you do make sure you’re really getting the scalp clean and using the Scalp Exfoliator to remove excess dandruff, dirt and oil. Focusing on massaging your scalp with your fingers rather than your hair to keep your scalp healthy.
4.MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET
What you put in your body will definitely reflect in your hair. As we know you can see the state of your health through your hair. Eating foods that are rich in nutrients like zinc, Vitamin A, B, C, D, E, Protein and Iron all help with your hair’s health. Incorporating these nutrients into your daily diet will transform your hair for the better. Just as plants need the proper nourishment to grow and flourish so does your hair. Begin by being mindful of what you’re putting in your body.
5.PROTECT YOUR SCALP FROM HARMFUL RAYS
Finding products that have natural sun and environmental protectant ingredients will be great for protecting your scalp from the sun's rays and environmental factors that can be harmful to your skin. Some natural ingredients that protect your scalp are rosemary oil, lavender oil, castor oil, sunflower oil, aloe vera, shea butter and many more. You can find most of these ingredients in the JC'S Miracle Serum, JC'S Miracle Leave-In Hydrating Mist as well as the JC'S Miracle Shampoo. This is great if you’re using the serum and leave-in daily, because your scalp will be protected every day.
6.BE MINDFUL WHEN ROCKING PROTECTIVE STYLES
Always be cautious of how your protective styles are installed, you want to make sure that it’s not tugging at your scalp and edges. Too much strain on your scalp can cause hair loss. Be sure to oil your scalp while wearing a protective style to avoid dryness and to relieve itching.
7.GET YOUR HAIR TRIMMED
Hair trimming aids the hair with its growth. It might sound counterproductive, but this is very true. This is because regular trims help remove damaged hair and split ends, promoting further hair growth from the roots. Trimming your ends will make your hair softer and more flexible, thereby preventing breakage.
8.TURN DOWN THE TEMP WHEN SHOWERING
As soothing as a steamy shower may feel, taking a super hot shower on a daily basis can irritate you scalp and possibly weaken your hair as it grows out. Keep the temperature on the warm side and at the end of the shower, do a quick cold-water rinse to seal the cuticles shut, boost shine, and maintain healthy hair.
9.LET YOUR SCALP BREATHE
When you’re wearing protective styles you never want to keep the style for more than 2 months, it’s important that you allow your scalp to breathe. Your scalp needs fresh air just as much as you do. So switching up your style every 2 months is recommended if you want to wear extensions.
If you want good hair, have good habits that will help to nourish the scalp and eat foods high in nutrients (check out the blog for the 9 best foods to eat for hair growth). Treat your hair with care and you’ll continue to see it flourish into the beautiful crown you’ve always wanted. You’re just a few steps away from changing your hair’s journey in a major way!
