Little Foot

Ok....so for those who did not know....I am obsessed with hair care.  I like to take care of it and I see girls all the time doing things that just destroy their hair and it buggggggs me.  So here are a few hair care tips that some might or might not already know.

• DO NOT brush your hair while it's wet.  When your hair is wet it's more susceptible to breakage from your comb or brush.  Run your fingers through it, dry as normal, then brush
• When shampooing use a dime size amount.  Apply it mostly to the crown of your head and let the water spread the rest down to the ends.  You want more of your natural oils to stay in the ends of your hair so you don't want to shampoo it to dry it out.
• When conditioning make sure that you use a quarter size amount.  You don't want to much conditioner in your hair because it leaves more residue behind. When you apply it to your hair, you make the movement like you're putting your hair into a pony tail.  Then spread it down to the tips and push all your hair up to make the conditioner spread to the roots.  Don't apply too much to the roots because it will make it easier to get oily.
• When you dry your hair try and dry it with the blow dryer held up and it blowing the air down onto your hair.  Don't just hold the dryer in your hair and move it in circles to dry it faster.  That can cause breakage as well.  When you dry it in a downward motion it closes the cuticles on your hair making it look shinier and makes split ends less noticeable.  
• Try not to make your pony tails too tight.  That cause a lot of breakage on that part of your hair.  

That's all I got for now.  I'm off today and Cason is trying desperately to get my attention.  And I can't refuse that little face of his :]
