    About this ebook

    In 101 WAYS TO AVOID HAIR LOSS, you will recognise the many ways in which hair loss can occur. There are so many processes which engender the loss of relaxed, permed and natural Afro-Caribbean hair, that excessive hair loss and damage is virtually ignored, or is accepted as normal.

    Afro-Caribbean hair enjoys a sensational mix of various textures which stem from multi-racial mixes. This hair therefore, should be beautiful, alluring and provocative to all hair stylists. Sadly, those textures are looked upon as coarse, strange and difficult to manage. When hair loss occurs, the blame is too frequently placed on the hair quality, something which is almost totally acceptable to many persons.

    Hair loss frustrates, and hair maintenance sometimes becomes a little too demanding. This then results in the acceptance of poor hair care. If only steps would be taken to avoid hair loss, what beauty, amazement and interest would be generated in Afro-Caribbean hair. This book will allow persons to have an informed view of various everyday situations which can cause hair loss. For the author believes that as one becomes aware, swift action will definitely be taken , resulting in the eventual love for Afro-Caribbean hair.

      Contents

      Introduction

      Relaxed and Natural Afro Hair:  

       A Special Challenge in the Caribbean

      1.   Hair Relaxing

      You can avoid severe hair loss with one of the most  

       frequently applied texture-service chemicals.

      2.   Shampooing and Conditioning

      Shampooing and conditioning are essential to the  

       proper maintenance of one’s hair. Disregarding  

       certain aspects of either can result in hair loss.

      3.   Coloured Hair

      Hair colouring adds much glamour to any hairstyle.  

       On chemically treated hair, however, it can sometimes  

       become a major contributing factor to hair loss.

      4.   Hairstyling

      Styling one’s hair differently is an almostdaily  

       procedure for many people. Variation in  

       styling is fashionable and key to developing  

       one’s sense of style. Unfortunately, some styles  

       cause considerable hair loss, so care and  

       attention must be given to those hairstyles.

      5.   Heated Appliances

      Little attention is paid to the damaging effects  

       of heated appliances on the hair. Proper use will  

       guarantee the health and beauty of the hair.

      6.   Hair Ornaments

      Hair ornaments add glamour and style to the hair.  

       However, hair loss can occur if attention is not paid  

       to the way in which these ornaments are used.

      7.   Hair Weaving and Braiding

      Weaves and braids have now become  

       an almost-essential aspect of hairstyling.  

       Improper weaving and braiding techniques,  

       however, can result in severe hair loss.

      8.   Natural Afro-Caribbean Hair

      Hair loss is sometimes ignored when hair is  

       worn naturally. Proper care must be taken so  

       that the hair reflects its natural beauty.

      9.   Health and Hair

      The health of your hair reflects the health of your  

       body. Attention must be paid to one’s health if  

       hair is expected to look beautiful and healthy.

      Introduction

      Relaxed and Natural Afro Hair:

      A Special Challenge in the Caribbean

      Taking care of natural or chemically treated hair – each has always posed its own special set of challenges. However, living in the Caribbean and having hair that has been permed, chemically relaxed, or coloured requires special care that sometimes borders on fanaticism.

      On most days in the Caribbean, one’s hair is exposed to the full effects of the sun, with temperatures sometimes soaring to over eighty degrees Fahrenheit. This is further compounded by sea bathing, boat trips, constant lively breezes, and the use of chlorinated pools. While these are the very factors that travel agents use to sell a great holiday experience in the Caribbean, it is particularly worrying for the many inhabitants who have to cope with these conditions year round. While most persons usually take care to protect their skin from the dryness caused by the sun’s UV rays, they tend to ignore the protection of their hair. A hat can protect the hair from the sun; however, when hats are worn, they are usually more of a fashion accessory than a form of protection.

      Relaxers

      Hair that is relaxed with a sodium hydroxide-based product, for instance, is prone to dryness. As a result, the hair needs to be constantly moisturized using products with UV protection. If this is not done, severe dryness results, with the daily occurrence of hair loss.

      No-lye relaxers should be used with caution, as their overuse can produce hair that is extremely dry and brittle. One might suppose that this issue could be resolved by simply relaxing the hair to a lesser degree, thus ensuring that the hair will be stronger, with far less damage to the hair strands. However, one now has to be prepared for an ongoing battle with
