Get those feel good endorphins released directly from exercise to help lift your mood and calm anxiety. 

 

Pinpoint what is making you feel stressed. Write down a list of triggers and try taking baby steps to help prevent them occurring. 

 

Hair extensions, tight braids, and even ponytails can all pull and put strain on the hair follicle. Over the constant tension can create thinning or balding areas to the scalp. 

 

Try to reduce the use of hair dryers, hair straighteners, and curling tongs. Intense heat can leave your hair follicle dehydrated and venerable to damage. 

 

Use mild natural shampoos. Try to avoid harsh chemical based ingredients. The aim of a shampoo is to gently cleanse your hair from excess oils and dirt. 

 

Constant bleaching and chemically treating your hair over time will cause irrevocable damage to the hair follicles. 

 

Brushing your hair on a daily basis with a natural fibered brush will help to promote healthy levels of sebum (oil) in your hair. Brushing from the top through to the ends will smooth and condition your hair cuticle.
