Need motivation to hit the gym? Well, do it for your hair.
Exercise can serve as a natural detox method for the scalp. Just like the rest of the organs in your body, the scalp is stimulated by regular exercise. When we sweat out those beautiful, fly hair do’s every week, the pores in our scalp open up to release toxins trapped beneath the surface of our skin. Ironically, that labor-intensive workout that you dreaded to show up for actually removes impurities below the scalp’s surface by way of sweat.
I know, I know, exercise definitely doesn’t help your hair’s outward appearance the morning after. But hey, your scalp will thank you J Remember, a healthy scalp promotes healthy hair growth. So, grab a friend, hit the gym and achieve that balance. Do it for your hair!

I must admit that while the “Good Hair” documentary by Chris Rock has not yet been released to the public, I’m glad this subject is getting some direct attention. And while I’ve only seen the trailers, promotional clips and read comments from celebrities who attended the private screening, I think this will be the national eye opener on a subject that some of our parents and grandparents have known for years.
We (consumers) need to be much more aware of products that we breathe, ingest and apply topically to our bodies. Here’s a rhetorical question for consumers who voluntarily apply chemical relaxers to their hair…
Do you really think your hair is that “nappy” that you would need a whole team of scientists, chemists and a laboratory to make it straight? Or have you just not been that educated on the subject matter and have placed all of your trust in your hairstylist/cosmetologist to take good care of your hair?
Either way, it’s now time for you to open up and begin asking more questions about products, reading labels and consider altering your cosmetic routine. You may be pleased with the results.
