    What do you think of this product? Do you use it often? I typically use Lily Desert AVG, which provides a pretty strong hold, but I'm open to different Gels.

      I rarely use Gel in my hair. I just needed a non-protein gel, hence why I got this one. You know me, I have to do my research. I have only used this once...today =). Still gathering my thoughts on what I think about it. When I was reading review, I did not have any negative comments. I'll let you know soon what my thoughts are. It only cost me $2.99 by the way. ;)

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

Image
  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1.

Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3. Minimize Heat Styling • Limit Heat Tools : Reduce the use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. • Use Heat Protectant : When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant to minimi
