Is Your Hair Routine Helping or Hurting You? The 10 Hair Commandments You Need to Know

Your hair routine could make or break your strands—literally! In this episode of Strands and Story, I, Monique Ingram, founder of Go Sleek, reveal the 10 Hair Commandments that every woman needs to know to keep her hair healthy, strong, and thriving. The 10 Hair Commandments 1. Use clarifying shampoo regularly. Cleanse your scalp and hair thoroughly instead of relying solely on co-washing to avoid buildup and scalp issues. 2. Limit heat styling. Keep heat use to a minimum—once a week for frequent stylers or once a month if possible to prevent damage. 3. Protect your edges. Avoid using glue on edges to prevent permanent damage. Choose glueless wigs or edge-friendly styling options. 4. Be cautious with bleaching and dyeing. Limit bleaching and avoid dyeing hair that’s already been dyed black to minimize damage. 5. Trim your hair regularly. Schedule trims every 6–10 weeks to maintain healthy ends and promote length retention. 6. Cover your hair at night. Use satin or silk wraps, bonnets, or rollers to protect your hair and prevent breakage while sleeping. 7. Choose styles wisely. Avoid following every trendy hairstyle. Pick styles that work for your hair type, texture, and lifestyle. 8. Focus on your nutrition. Eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water to support hair growth and overall health. 9. Be patient with your hair. Healthy hair takes time and consistency. Embrace the process and trust it. 10. Prioritize hair health over aesthetics. Focus on maintaining strong, healthy hair rather than chasing styles that can cause long-term damage. Are you unknowingly committing hair sins that lead to breakage, dryness, or even hair loss?
