Hey guys welcome back to another article  today I am finally doing my updated hair care routine I have been meaning to do this article for so long the very first
an article that I ever uploaded to my blog was my five steps to healthy hair care routine and although I think that that information is still very relevant I still use it every single day I just feel like the quality of my articles and my writing style has really changed over the years so I just wanted to give you an updated version and I wanted to give you an article that I really felt proud about so yeah I am just going to try and give you as much information today on how I care for my hair and I hope you
enjoyed the article till the end.

okay so my healthy hair secret weapon is my wooden brush I am absolutely in love with this thing and I will never ever ever ever be without it when you use a wooden brush it absorbs your hairs natural oils so when you brush your hair it distributes these oils evenly and conditions your hair and
it also reduces static and breakage and it's just the perfect tool if you're trying to grow long healthy hair I will never ever go back to using plastic or a metal brush again  and they also massage acupressure points on your head which is great for stimulating circulation to the scalp and you know
promoting healthy hair growth it's like every time I use this I'm  getting a scalp massage so I have three different wooden brushes I have to buy the brand Eurotech a large oval brush and a small travel size brush and these are the highest quality brushes I've ever come across they're made in Germany there made of maple wood and I bought them at Whole Foods around four years ago and unfortunately, I cannot find these brushes anywhere I've searched everywhere I've looked at Whole Foods I've looked online and I just can't seem to find these brushes anywhere and that makes me really sad because I want to recommend a brush that you guys can actually, buy so I'm gonna keep my eye out for these and hopefully I can find a place where you can get them and recently I bought this wooden brush and it's by the brand Tec it's made in Italy and I really have been loving this I love the size I love the shape it's just a really great brush so yeah you can look for this brand Tek Tek I find that there are really big quality differences.


With wooden brushes, I have been using a wooden brush for years and years and I used to buy this one from my local health food store its one that you can find at a lot of different places but every few months it would just completely break as this part would just rip out and keep in mind I have a lot of hair but I still felt like it wasn't a well-made brush so I went through around  six of those brushes before I found my euro tech brushes and I've had my euro tech brush for around four years it's still going strong it looks completely brand new to I and all the bristles are  still attached so yeah I try and look for a company that actually specializes in making wooden brushes I find that the Europeans make the best wooden brushes boiling your hair is one of the best ways that you can condition your hair it keeps your hair hydrated it keeps it soft it keeps it shiny and there are so different oils that you use for your hair some of my personal favorites are  argan oil coconut oil of course jojoba oil is really good if you have thin hair because it's really light avocado oil I mean there are so many different oils you can really use anything you want you just want to make sure that it's unrefined cold-pressed preferably and organic and I also like to add in some essential oils or some neem oil rosemary an essential oil is really really good for stimulating circulation to the scalp it makes her hair so soft and it just really promotes healthy hair growth and same with the name neem is amazing for growing strong healthy hair it's just a beautiful oil so I kind of like to just put some of them together and create a new one hair conditioner so there are two ways that I own my hair I will either just coat my hair in the oil of my choice and then just leave it in my hair for a few hours or even overnight and then just shampoo it out or else I will do a gradual oiling and this is what I've been doing lately I think it's reallyperfect for the wintertime and basically I just put a little bit of oil through my ends every single day just the the smallest amount so my hair doesn't look greasy and I just keep doing that every single day until I shower so it's kind of like my hair is always being nourished by these oils and also when you're oiling your hair it's the perfect time to give yourself a scalp massage and it's got massage promotes healthy hair because it stimulates thecirculation to your scalp and it alsohelps you relax and relieve stressbecause I mean who doesn't want a scalp massage I personally, love scalp massages and had massaged any other massage Idon't really care for but I mean I will have a hand massage and a scalp massage24/7 and be the happiest girl alive so now it's time to talk about Shampooand Conditioner you can read the labelof your bottle of shampoo and it canmake it sound like the most amazing spectacular shampoo it's gonna make youhair grow up healthy it's gonna make it shiny soft beautiful how that's mainlymarketing they just want you to buy them shampoo and conditioner so you know it's pretty much just lies what you want to be doing is looking at the back of the bottle and checking out the ingredient list I would look for something that doesn't have things like sulfate fragrances so you know just chemicals that are gonna strip your hair and aren't that good for your health my favorite shampoo as you guys know is by a brand called Kalia, I've done a whole video on them they're just an amazing company their products really work for my hair they're very gentle
they're very natural and I just love Kalia so much so, of course, I had to mention them again I've been using them for years and I'll use them for the rest of my life I love you Kalia I also like to use a shower filter so I could be washing my hair in the best water possible and I tried to only shampoo my hair every 4 to 6 days I wash my body every day but I only shampoo and
conditioner between every 4 to 7 days and I came to know that the longer you go without shampooing the more your hair balances out and then you don't have to shampoo as often if that makes any sense and your hair's oils kind of act as conditioners so it's good not to be stripping them out of your hair every single day and I also highly highly highly recommend  doing hair rinses I have two Harris's that I do all the time one is an apple cider vinegar rinse where I just put a little bit of apple cider vinegar in the bottom of a cup around 2 tablespoons maybe and then fill out the cup full of water the cup up with water and then just trash that over my head after I'm finished shampooing and conditioning and I just stop it with my hair and hair so soft and shiny and the apple cider vinegar clarifies it so it just an apple cider vinegar rinse and the second rinse I do I actually have article on and that is the rosemary hair rinse and rosemary is just amazing for growing long healthy hair basically I just take some fresh rosemary and simmer it in a pot with some water and then one it cools down just dump it over my head and it smells so amazing so yeah hair rinses can really make a big difference on your hair and a lot of people swear by the no poo method where you wash your hair with baking soda and then condition it with apple cider vinegar and I do like doing that to my hair sometimes more as a clarifying treatment but I really prefer just using shampoo and conditioner but I thought I would just still, mention it because maybe you guys want to check it out or try it out for yourself because it is a really cheap way to shampoo and condition your hair and it does make your hair feel rreally nice so that's another option for shampooing and conditioning
now my next tip is probably the hardest tip for a lot of people but that is just cut down on the amount of heat you're using in your hair and you don't have to do this forever you can just try and limit your use if you use a straightener every day maybe just try and straighten
you need to try once a week to test your hair a  and leave it to become healthy again and I've talked about this before but I used to straighten my hair every single day for high school and it just damaged my hair so much my hair looked horrible without styling I would straighten my hair my hair would become more damaged so then I would have to straighten it, even more, to make it looks healthy again it would become even more damaged and it was just this vicious vicious cycle for me so one a day I just cut that cycle and I was like I'm just not gonna use heat on my hair anymore I'm gonna let my hair grow out and be natural and that's what I did and now I'm really really happy with my natural hair I don't need to style anymore I just let it air dry I don't use any styling tools I don't use any styling products so just do a little challenge with yourself and try to reduce the amount of heat that you use in your hair for a while and I guarantee you will see a huge improvement with your hair damage proof hairstyles are really important when it comes to growing long healthy hair for me.

My favorite protective hairstyle is just putting my hair in a side braid you guys probably noticed from like 80% of my videos that I always have my hair and a side braid my go-to everyday hairstyle is just a side braid with some sort of hat I just find that it keeps my hair protected prevents it from getting matted and I love braids I think that they look really cute and I always wear protective styles of hair when come to bed and if I sleep with my hair  I will always wake up with the worst position matted poofy dry hair so I have two protective hairstyles that I wear to bed I will either twist my hair into a bun and then secure it at the front of my headlong with clippers and I like doing this because of the next morning I just see the amazing waves wavy into my hair to style my hair with hair in a braid and then secure it with a scrunchie and I like to use the scrunchie because sometimes an elastic will break your hair but the scrunchie is soft and gentle and it won't cause any breakageas most of you guys know I am a firm a believer in taking a  healthy Whole diet and if you eat beautiful nourishing foods it'll just shine through and you will look beautiful on the outside so I definitely, think that food plays a huge role in having healthy hair eat yourmake it 3 fatty acids each your mineral rich foods I like to  start my day offwith those minerals it's detoxifying and Ijust feel like it's the most beautiful elixir in the world just eat real food and a lot of you guys ask what type of medicines I should take that will help my hair so, I could recommend one supplement for ahair would probably be MSM powder MSMis an organic sulfur compound thatbenefits our skin hair nails and joints due to its collagen building properties it's also a wonderful anti-inflammatory and great for detoxifying the body Iwill mention that there is a huge qualitydifferences in MSM supplements so alwayslook for a nonpetroleum derived MSM andyou can use it both internally andexternallyand another little tip that I stillrecommend is just go to your localbeauty supply store and get some littletrimming shears just little scissors tocut your hair and just go through yourhair whenever you're bored and find those little split ends and just youknow give them a little snip off andit's gonna make it so you don't have togo to the hairdresser as often you know that is my little trick so those are mytips for achieving long healthy hair.
