My favorite tips for healthy hair!

On YouTube, there's this girl named Cassandra Bankson and she is FRICKIN AMAZING! She does a ton of tip and tutorial videos that are great! She does a lot of makeup tutorials but also talks about acne and things you can do for it, and how to take care of your hair and nails. She recently inspired me to make this next post about hair! These are all tips from her, but these are my personal favorites. I'll post a link somewhere to the video that I got these tips from so that you can see what other tips she has.
  1. Massage oils into damp hair. In the video, Cassandra uses peppermint oil (you probably have some in you cupboard. I know I do.) She also says you can use Eucalyptus oil, or cinnamon oil. I like to use Moroccan oil. When you massage the oils into your hair, it stimulates blood flow to the scalp, which in turn stimulates hair growth.
  2. Add more protein to your diet! I'm guessing many of you know that your hair and nails are dead. That's why it doesn't hurt when you cut them. (unless you end up ripping up your nail beds or if you get a hang nail) And many of you also know that your hair and nails are made up of dead keratin (which is dead protein.) So if you eat lots of protein and you get excess protein, your bodies natural instinct is to turn the protein into hair and push it out of your scalp.
  3. Wash your hair with a sulfate free shampoo. I already do this since I dye my hair often and the sulfate could make my hair fall out.
  4.  before you style your hair, use a heat protectant! Again, it's great for color treated hair since it's so sensitive. Heat is one of the worst things you could do to your hair, but at least heat protectant will help out with that!
  5. Before you get out of the shower, rinse your hair with cold water. Cassandra goes into more detail as to why.

I strongly recommend this chick. Her videos are pretty much what I'm trying to turn my blog into. If I had a YouTube account (I'm thinking about getting one) I'd subscribe to her in a heart beat. Hopefully she can supply you guys with all the tips and tutorials that you need :)
