HAIR CARE IN SECTIONS

Breakage!!!  We all hate it and yet there are so many easy ways to avoid it.
A great way to reduce breakage is by handling or working on your hair in sections.  I am a full blown sectionista.  From detangling through to moisturising and sealing, I always work in sections when I am caring for my hair.

ADVANTAGES OF HANDLING HAIR IN SECTIONS

1) It will make it easier for you to locate and untangle knots in your hair.

2) If you have an area where your hair is weak or the scalp is sensitive, you can section that area off so that you can give it extra tlc or handle it gently.

3) It ensures better product distribution, for example, applying moisturiser in sections will ensure that all you hair gets a good share of the hair product.

4) It will give you better access to you scalp.

5) It helps in reducing the damage that can be caused by combing.  This is because you can gently ease the comb through smaller sections of hair rather than trying to drag/force it through all your hair at once.

 

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR HAIR CARE IN SECTIONS

1) Divide your hair into 4 or more sections depending on how full and long your hair is.

2) The sections don’t have to be neat, straight or the exact size.

3) You don’t have to use a comb to create the sections.  Your fingers can do the job.  Ensure your nails are smooth.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ripped out hair because my nails were rough.

4) Use a hair clip or band to keep the sections separated.  Alternatively you can put each section in a loose braid or twist

5) Try to complete as many of your hair care tasks in sections, i.e, detangle in sections, wash in sections, apply conditioner in sections, etc.

I hope you have found this post useful and that it will encourage you to try handling your hair in sections.
