FAQ: Easy Hairstyles For Long Hair

Why is my hair flat to my head?

When it comes to flat hair, grease is frequently at blame. A combination of humidity, dirt, and natural oils produced by your hair begins to weigh down your hair throughout the day. The solution is as simple as using dry shampoo, which absorbs excess oil quickly.

Is it unhealthy to have long hair?

Long hair does not deplete the body’s nutritional reserves. The notions that hair competes for nutrients with the fetus and that long hair might harm the body’s and mind’s growth are completely false. Hormone nourishment is essential for hair to grow longer and stronger.
