I recently saw this quiz that was written by Just Tiki contributor, Cherese of Afrophire.com. The quiz is a great way to determine if the methods you are using are harming your hair.
My Hair Health Quiz Results
Sometimes we do things to our hair with the best of intentions but the action harms our hair in the long run. I took the quiz and I had a tie with D’s and C’s. So, I’m going to say I am as responsible with my hair as I can be to keep it healthy.
Areas of Improvement
I know my area for improvement is not moisturizing and sealing nightly. I am not making excuses. Some nights I forget and other nights I just can’t because of joint pain. I have gotten better since I listed it on my monthly challenge. It has held me accountable.
The other issue I have is using my blow dryer and flat iron the achieve straight hair. I know most people say one or the other; however, I rarely use heat in my hair and when I do I want it as straight as possible. I will also add that I use the comb and chase method, apply heat protectant, and use a lower heat setting but enough to straighten my hair in one pass.
Take the quiz and tell me how you scored. I’m curious to read your answers. If there is something you would improve upon, let me know and I will be happy to assist you to reach your healthy hair goal. I am all about health before length.

Are you harming your hair?ย by Cherese Agee
What are some hair practices that you know are harmful and would like to change? How often do you use heat?
Moisturizing and sealing nightly is something that I need to get better at doing too. Glad to know that you’re taking great care of Cherrelle ๐
So taking this quiz and must admit that I blow dry and straighten my hair so sure that will take points away for me!! ๐
