How do you know if you have healthy hair?
Pull out one strand of hair from the scalp. (Give it a quick yank to lessen the pain.) Hold an end in each hand and tug in opposite directions. Hair is naturally elastic, so if your hair stretches as you pull it, it's healthy. If it snaps and breaks under little pressure, then it is not as healthy as it could be due to the loss of some of this elasticity. Put the spring back in your hair with a weekly dose of good protein deep conditioner or hot oil treatment.
