there are 25 hair killers,one of them being long periods of time under hooded hair dryers. It reads:
This dries out inner scalp tissues,membranes,and glands. The greatest mistake the industry has made is over-rated use of the hooded hair dryer. It is used incorrectly as a tool to deep condition hair and to dry a client's loose, wet hair. Several minutes after a client is placed under a hood dryer with conditioners on the the hair and a plastic cap, the treatment has gone bad. The conditioners melt away,and the hair and scalp begin to dry out. The inner scalp organs consisting of the sebaceous gland,sensory nerves and blood vessels at the root are dried out. The inner hair,or cortex of the hair is also dried out. For the chemically processed hair,this is certain destruction. There is very little cortex left after the chemical process as is. Once the client has sat under a dryer for thirty minutes to an hour while he/she works on other clients, the moisturizing treatment has already gone bad. If a person were to stay under it for no longer than five to ten minutes, it could be effective. Any longer and the drying out will begin. As for drying loose hair under the hooded dryer,this is a definite no-no. Have you seen how dry,tangled, and wrinkled the hair becomes after it comes out from under the dryer? Then it is combed (snapping,pulling,and breaking occurs), and straightened out thermally. This makes no sense. The hair could have been detangled after towel drying and blow-dried. If the hair has been relaxed,it is ready to be thermally curled after blow drying. Therefore causing less stress to the hair and scalp.

Thanks for adding this post Bublnbrnsuga. This explains what my confusion was in the post " is heat necessary for deep conditioning" I cant say enough how much softer my hair is without heat. As they say,the proof is in the pudding.

Ummmm...Now maybe it's better for the scalp, but I don't know about for the hair. I mean, blowdrying AND heat styling isn't always good for people's hair. IMHO, too much heat is too much heat--whether it comes from a hood dryer, blowdryer, flat iron, curling iron...whichever. I'll stick to airdrying for now

3.Lack of neutralizing
4.Lack of sulfur in the diet and uneaten vegetables
5.Lack of water in the body
6.Too much thermal straightening and curling
7. <font color="purple"> </font> Long periods of time under hood hair dryers
8.Pulling hair out
9.Wearing unlined wool caps
10.Hair grease and pomades made with animal fat
11.Stress from the pulling of tight braids
12.Wearing tight stocking caps
13.Thyroid imbalance
14.Dryness
15.Regular brushing
16.Methodic wig wearing
17.Bacterial scalp infection
18.Lack of regular shampooing
19.Thermal straightening

Okay, so is it better to use a heat cap for deep conditioning products?...I have a conditioner and it says you have to use it with heat in order for it to work....
 
just my luck. as i'm reading this, i'm under a hooded dryer.
and i've been on vacation by a beach for the last few days. didnt use a neutralizing shampoo today when i deep conditioned under the hooded dryer for more than 10 minutes.

great. just great. lol

???? So relaxed hair can be worn loose, but not virgin hair? I don't get it.

I didn't get this one, either. I had to go dig through my magazine archives.

It says, "Virgin hair being worn loose w/o using a moisturizing, leave-in conditioner. Especially during windy, Winter months."
 
Thanks Blbnbrnsuga that was very informative. I usually sit under the dryer with conditioner in my hair and after it's washed out I sit under with rollers and then get it blown out.
 
I'm curious....I don't take any vitamins, I blow my hair out every week and I barely eat vegatables and my hair still grows. I wonder if I start taking vitamins and eating vegetables will my hair grow longer.
 
Thank you suga for posting the list. Very interesting--wish I'd known to use a neutralizing shampoo after swimming when I was 12. I swam right after a relaxer &amp; lost a butt-load of hair

"Uneaten vegetables" (#4) --that's cute the way they worded that!

I wonder why VIRGIN HAIR WORN LOOSE is bad
confused.gif
Does it make a difference if it's relaxed?
 
I'm kind of surprised they didn't say anything about over-processing
confused.gif
They mentioned overbleaching, but more people relax than bleach. Not neutralizing would lead to overprocessing of course, but what about just leaving the relaxer in too long, or relaxing too often?
 
Very interesting...I know that I tend to avoid drying my hair under the hooded dryer b/c it is still heat. It doesn't bother me too much with conditioner b/c I always use a plastic cap which I believe protects my head and hair from too much heat.

The other listed ones are very interesting...

I believe the mag tried to focus on issues that we thought were okay for our hair but are actually not. Overprocessing from relaxers is a giveaway concerning a hair killer.

For conditioning, I use a thermal heat cap for 10 to 15 minutes with my deep conditioner..For anyone interested, it's called Professional Conditioning Heat Cap by Thermal Spa. It's moisturizing penetrating and theraputic. It doesnt dry out the skin scalp and hair like bubble dryers.

I've noticed that whenever I deep condition my hair with a dryer for 15-20 minutes that my hair feels dry. Now I know to stay under the dryer for 5 minutes. However, I'm not sure how good it is stay under the dryer for 15-20 minutes with a hot oil treatment instead of something like hair mayo.
