Tips for hair maintenance

Less or no heat when blow drying, use a cooler setting and do not blow dry until is completely dry.
2) Use acidifiers. Acidifiers close the cuticle down and lock in moisture. Acidifiers have a pH of 2.5 to 3.5. They have a lower pH than hair does in an aqueous solution.
3) Color, perms, relaxers, and other chemicals are sometimes a necessary evil. They rob the hair of humectants. Humectants attract and retain moisture (water) in the cortical layer of the hair. Try to use low ammonia -low peroxide color. Do not leave neutralizer on too long with perms. If possible avoid relaxers.
4) Treat your hair. Replace lost humectants with essential fatty acids (lipids), acidify your hair, use low pH products, and use cool water. Replace what was taken out to make your hair dry. Also eat a diet full of essential fatty a

cids (in moderation and non-animal [no cholesterol]).
