Tackling hair breakage

Ladies,

I’ve been reading your comments—thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! 🙏 Your feedback means everything, and I want this space to stay engaging and helpful, so please keep it coming!

Now, let’s get into it... because what I’m hearing that many of us are dealing with BREAKAGE! 💔✂️

Some of you mentioned that your hair grows slowly—which is totally valid -however, here’s the thing: growth is slow and hard to track.

💡 For me, it was a combination of both internal and external issues. Over time, I built small habits that made a huge difference—and I’d love to share all of those with you.

For now, let’s focus on the things that will give you the most impact 💥

🎯 Start With a Realistic Goal:

Hair typically grows about 0.5 inches per month—if everything is aligned (nutrition, care, stress levels, etc.).

📝 TRACK Your Progress:

You can’t grow what you don’t track! Tracking keeps you motivated and helps you see real results over time.➡️ Check out my post on How to Track Your Hair Growth for tips.

📌 Ready to Take Action?

Pick at least 3 of these habits to start doing consistently this week. Then next week, stack on 1 or 2 more. (I've listed both internal solutions and external practices)

1. 🧪 Oils That Actually Work

Mix:

Hexane-free cold-pressed castor oil
100% pure rosemary oil
A few drops of ginseng oil

Apply overnight or before shampooing. These oils are proven effective and budget-friendly! 💰➡️ Want me to break down more oils, DIYs, or recommend products? Just let me know!

2. 💆🏽‍♀️ Scalp Massages

Scalp massages are KEY 🔑They:

Stimulate blood flow
Help nutrient delivery
Promote hair growth

✅ Tip: Bend forward while massaging to increase blood flow to the scalp!

3. 🩸 Check Your Iron Levels

Most menstruating women are low in iron—and that directly affects hair growth. Avoid synthetic iron and choose:

Bioavailable iron (animal-based or whole-food plant-based no fillers or binders)
Organic (important when you concentrate nutrients) and 3rd-party tested brands

🚨 If you need help finding trusted brand, please let me know! There are a lot of great company and some sketchy ones. I’m not a DR. but I’ve done my research and have incredible friends in the field.

4. 😣 Stress (Ugh, I Know...but I have to mention it)

Stress can and does stunt the growth. Not fair but unfortunately does impact our growth cycle & retention abilities. As much as possible find what works for you and focus on other areas of control. I still deal with a lot of stress and have managed to grow and maintain long hair. So can you! 💪🏾

👉 Focus on what you can control, and give yourself grace.

5. 🧬 BOND Repair Treatments

Ready for the magic word? BOND REPAIR ✨But beware of marketing fluff! Some brands claim benefits just for adding 1% quinoa. LOL

Look for salon-quality products with "active" ingredients that actually repair broken molecular bonds. Go for:

Repair masks
Leave-ins with bond-repair technology

6. 🧴 Find the Right Oil for Your Hair

Use oils based on your hair porosity:

I use a lightweight oil with detangling ingredients (my hair is fine) less products
My mom swears by Moroccan oil (too dense for my hair)

Each oil has unique properties—penetration, moisture, etc.📚 There was a fascinating article that broke down the lipid (fat/oil) profile! I should find that for you! Honestly simplicity is best and less products seems to be better for most people.

7. 💤 Reduce Friction

Friction = breakage ⚠️Here are some anti-breakage essentials:
