10 Hair Treatments for Dry, Damaged Hair
Hair is a form of personal expression. We can choose our color, our cut, straight or curly, long or short. When these choices conflict with our hair's natural tendencies though, they often come with consequences. These consequences include split ends, brittle strands, dull coloring, and dry hair. That doesn't mean we can't still make our hair our own, though. These treatments for dry, damaged hair mean that women (and men) everywhere can continue manipulating and maneuvering their hair however they like.

One Bald Babe
There's this saying that goes: "a woman who cuts off/shaves off all her hair is about to do something to change her life." I've seen it spun 900 different ways. "Her life is changing," "get out of the way," "she can't be stopped," blah blah. There's something ahead, and the removal of all or most of her hair is the starting point. I get it—a woman's crowning glory is her hair. This has been especially true as a Black woman. We go into battle over our hair, choosing sides and fighting over what's best. We fight society about what's professional and what's "ghetto." We fight ourselves, trying to find out what's right for our own souls and happiness. I went from my natural baby hair to my unruly kiddie hair (that was eventually relaxed), and my teen years full of either getting it done or doing whatever in-between. I decided, as an adult, to go natural.

Want New Hair? Here's How
Don't we all need a new hair color from time to time? I think yes. Usually, we stay in the realm of natural hair colors or stay with our original natural color, meaning the hair color that we are born with. Sometimes, over time, our hair color likes to change and become darker or even lighter, and as always, get grey. So to avoid this from happening, there are ways to dye your hair without the damage. Here are some tips and explanations on how you can have an amazing color that you pick and are happy with.

Things No One Tells You Before You Dye Your Own Hair
Everyone has wanted to dye their own hair at least once. And it's a completely reasonable desire; hair salons are expensive and time consuming and it's a pain to go back every other month. Self-dyeing can be a great option: if it's done right. Here's a list of things that I wish I knew before I dyed my hair myself for the first time:

Relaxed Hair Every Six Months Instead of 6-8 Weeks
I began relaxing my hair about 10 or 11 years ago. Getting a relaxer in my hair was totally an accident. One day I had went to get my hair done and the hair assistant put the wrong product in my hair, surprisingly enough my hair didn't fall out thankfully and did I forget to mention I already had a hair softener in my hair. So, I haven't seen my natural hair in a very long time. For those who don’t know the difference in chemicals the softener softens and loosen tough natural hair while a relaxer completely straightens the hair.
