How to do a Bubble Braid with Alternating Twists
We all love bubble braids, but if you want a new “twist” on this classic style, we’ve got you covered. Adding hair twists in between bubbles, or at different intervals gives you more texture and fun with this look.
Twists are easy to add in and only take a second keeping this style at a skill level anyone can do. Because you can leave bangs out for face shaping, the look works for everyone.
How Being Hydrated Helps Keep Hair Growing Healthy
When you hear about keeping hydrated for healthy hair, it can either mean hydrating your locks with hair masks and oils, or keeping your body hydrated so your scalp and follicles can grow healthy hair. Both are important, but in order to keep the hair you see healthy, you need to first focus on where it develops in your body which may require proper hydration.
When your body is hydrated it can keep a steady blood pressure which allows your red blood cells to transport oxygen via iron and essential nutrients to your scalp and follicles. In addition to transporting oxygen, iron has been seen to impact keratin formation, and assists the cells in producing new hair.
The Difference Between Hair Breakage and Shedding
Hair shedding is a mostly natural process where you shed between 50 and 100 hairs per day as the strands fall through the follicle and off your body, while hair breakage is normally a result of friction, pulling, or ripping hair that is damaged.
Hair shedding and hair breakage can become more frequent with specific outside factors. For example, if a person is stressed they can shed more hair, and when people use heated tools and don’t hydrate or pre-treat with heat protectants, they will have dry hair that is more prone to breakage.
