Anyone know of a good black hair salon that focuses on healthy hair?

Lots of stylist focus on style not healthy hair. Does anyone know of one? IAnyone know of a good black hair salon that focuses on healthy hair?
Stylist do just that...they style. Many of them no nothing about making the hair TRULY healthy, and not many salons will teach you how to have healthy hair. If you think about it...why would they? They don't make a profit by teaching you how to maintain your hair on your own, if they did that....you wouldn't feel the need to go to a salon. The best thing to do is to do research and use HEALTHY natural products for Black hair. Generally, product lines that sell natural products have a hair consutant on board that can offer you advice if needed. Other than that, most of it is trial an error. I am a natural hair stylist, but have taken the time to research and study ways to keep black hair healthy.





You should use hot oil treatments that contain herbs and essential oils (for growth and less breakage) once every two weeks. Use a scalp conditioner of hair cream that contains no petroleum or mineral oil as these products clog pores and prevent hair growth. Protein treatments are also important to keep the hair strong. Moisturize as often as you can, and if you have natural hair....stay a way from shampoos with SLS/SLES. Use natural products as often as possible, and join a friendly black hair care forum that can help you in regard to hair.





Another tip that many people don't know can effect their hair is ...water. You should only rinse your hair with distilled water as hard water DRASTICALLY effects hair. It can make the hair brittle, damaged, dry, and hard...especially our hair type.


I use this product line and have had really good results as far as the health of my hair is concerned. http://mineralindulgence.com/





They are all natural an make proucts for black hair to insure health, they also have a hair care consutant if you have any questions (they helped me a lot).





I strongly recommend them, longhaircareforum is also a good place for tips on making black hair healthy. You have to pay to join the forum, but you can lurk around and look at the forum topics without joining.
