Ursula Stephen, celebrity hairsylist to popstar Rihanna and new artist Tiara Thomas recently spoke to rolling out and shares her top 5 hair care don’ts.
Don’t flat iron your hair every day. It does not need to be silky and smooth and straight or super perfect every single day.
Don’t forget to condition. It is very important. As African American women, we have naturally dry hair. We have to always push moisture back in all the time.
Don’t wear a ponytail every day. You won’t have any edges.
Don’t abuse one hairstyle. When it comes to braids, weaves, ponytails and blow outs switch it up because when you start abusing a hairstyle that also causes breakage. Girls are wearing installations but they’re leaving the middle out or the side out. So when you continuously wear that middle part, that middle part is going to break off. So you have all this growth under your braids but this part is going to be broken off. So don’t abuse hairstyles.
Don’t be afraid of color but do up the ante on conditioners, treatments and at home hair care.
