DEBUNKING SOME MYTHS ABOUT AFRICAN HAIR

black hair it strongest of all hair types.                  after reading so many reviews on the internet i found that the black hair is not stronger than every other hair type, black hair texture is actually the most fragile compared to other hair types. 
African hair is more prone to breakage in its natural and relaxed state if it lacks moisture. that is why it is very important to deep condition and apply treatment with natural oils such as coconut oil,olive oil regularly.tools like wide- tooth comb and soft brushes can help prevent hair breakage.


African hair cant grow very long like other races.
i think am most guilty of this myth for a very long time, however on the average the African hair grows half an inch every month. the natural curl of our hair and shrinkage can make our hair look much shorter than it really is. However, our hair is very sensitive and must be cared for to reach optimal length.





Relaxers make our hairs grow.
our type of hair only appears to be longer when it is relaxed, but the chemicals in the relaxer do not promote hair growth,it simply break down our natural growth by eliminating the curls and straightening it to its full length. hair growth can only be promoted by healthy habits and caring for our natural hair. 




Natural hair is healthier than relaxed hair.
this is definitely not true, the health of your hair depends on how well you care for your hair. some people then to believe that natural hair is better than relaxed hair,this is not true staying natural or being relaxed is all matter of choice. the main focus is having good hair care routine and use the right products and treatment.  relaxed hair can be just as healthy as natural.

  7. Very nice blog but you need to pay attention to your punctuation, spelling and written english. For one, start every new sentence with a capital letter. Also, things like saying "am" when you mean "I'm". It's the little things that count.
