How to keep my hair heathly strong and growing fast?

Hello Smiley! Glad to see your questions. You may not like it, but I do have the answers. I believe I am an authority on this subject, seeing as my hair is thick and healthy, and ends about three inches past my waist. And lets not forget that I have had this length of hair for 10+ years! Lets start at the beginning. Hair and nails are made up of dead cells from your body. So, step one to healthy hair and nails is a balanced diet, and drink at least 8 eight ounce glasses of water a day. What goes in the body is what comes out of the body. Hence bad diet bad hair. Do I need to mention that recreational drugs can also affect your hair and nails? No illegal drugs! Next, lay off the non-natural beauty treatments, such as coloring, perming, straightening, highlighting...etc. Now don't get it cut so often. Once every six weeks get just the ends cut if you feel you have to, like a quarter inch at most. Yes split ends happen, but if you can be patient and follow the rest of my suggestions you will actually experience less of them. Next, take it easy on the blow drying, hot rollers and curling irons if at all possible. Try washing your hair before going to bed, towel drying it, then wrap it up in a clean dry towel to sleep in. And speaking of washing your hair, the best thing you can do for your hair is to let the natural oils from your scalp saturate your hair from root to tip once a month. This means don't wash your hair for three to four days once a month. Up-dos are a great way to hide your natural hair treatment! When it comes to shampoo I recommend what ever you prefer, however, I use Pert Plus shampoo and conditioner in one. I may love my locks, but I hate having to spend extra time in the shower to shampoo and condition my hair. Shampoo is designed to clean your hair. That is all it does. Check out Consumers Reports web site for their study on shampoo, they tell the truth about everything! Now every beautician in their right mind is going to tell you that Pert Plus is bad for your hair, and that you should use the expensive salon products that their salon is pushing. Don't fall for that! I speak from experience. Every time I go to any salon to get my hair done, the stylist always gushes over how thick, long and healthy my hair is. Then when they find out I use Pert Plus they all say its so bad for my hair and they recommend something expensive that they have. Now don't get me wrong, I love having a professional take the time to wash, condition, cut, style and blow dry my hair, so I am not about to tell them where they can stick their Paul Mitchel foo foo stuff. But didn't they say before they new what I used that my hair was so great? And finally, I do use one high end product for my hair. It's called Silk Therapy from Biosilk. I put this fabulous treatment in my hair after towel drying. It only takes about two teaspoons full for me, so less if you have less hair. This stuff goes a long way, and gives my hair this incredible shine and smoothness. In addition, Silk Therapy helps with UV protection so it's right up your alley! In short, hang in there and be patient, but go as natural as you can, and by this time next year I can guarantee you will have long healthy hair!
