A little patience will do ya!

I have a client that came in this week that totally made my year, not my day....yes, the year!  Why?  This client, let's just name her Mrs. P, has started coming to me in the summer time.  Her hair was in a horrendous state.  Her ends were badly split, the length was uneven and she didn't want much cut (It seems the clients with the hair in the worst of conditions are the ones that never want a cut).   I convinced her to cut which she wasn't too happy about but did it anyway because she wanted healthy hair.  She would come every two weeks for maintenance and relaxers.  She expressed that it wasn't in the budget anymore for the two week visit which was understood.  I told her to at least come for the relaxers and gave her a hair maintenance program to follow when she maintained it at home.  The hair was improving with every visit although she was a bit hesitant when it came to the trims.

A couple of months went by and I didn't see her.  I would think about her from time to time but was doubtful that she was maintaining the care for her hair.  The friend that referred her came to see me recently and when the friend went back to work, I received a call from Mrs. P to come in.  I braced myself preparing for the worse but lo and behold, Mrs. P suprised me.  She maintained her hair!  She listened and it showed.  The breakage that she experienced has grown, the split ends were at a minimum, and she had hair growth.  She needed a shape-up and we pushed her relaxer time for another two weeks.
She looked fab and her hair was healthy.   She maintained a strict hair regimen given to her by me and saw for herself what being patience will do.  I'm so proud of her that I had to share.

Hair growth doesn't come overnight.  It takes month of TLC and re-training your hair.  The correct regimen, quality products, regular trims and minimal heat can give you the hair growth needed.  If you run around and purchase every product that a magazine says is great, how will you know what works for you?  You have to give it time.  Ask your stylist what regimens you can follow and stick to it to gain great results.
