Hey give you a refence point, allow you to evaulate what is working or what is for the birds, and give you a concrete picture of your progress. But we have to beware because there is definitely more than one way to measure the health of your hair besides length.

Welcome back to Healthy Hairology Medley! I'm super excited to share another edition of my favorite healthy hair tips, tricks, and techniques from bloggers and vloggers this week. I love discovering new things to make my hair happy. Here's my best of the best this week:

The Myth of Natural Hair Products thenaturalhaven: Hair product labels are ridiculously confusing. Natural, Green, Unrefined, Organic, Sustainable... They are all simply marketing adjectives to convince you to buy. JC decodes the labels of a few of your favorite products to teach you how to read product labels as they really are versus what the maker wants you to believe. 

Braids and Prints! allthingssammamama: Thus continuing my obsession with the braids that I'll never install in my own hair---Omgosh, look at how ammamama effortlessly dresses up her box braids. Ugh! Why do I have to be such a long-term-protective style dweeb?!?

My Do: A Wrap hariofheritage: Head wraps save my life. No seriously. I wear one at least twice a week. Why? I'm lazy! It's insta-style every single time! AND super easy!



The Hair Mask That Won't Stain Your Pillows intothegloss: I'm totally an advocate of overnight deep conditioning. ODC saves me time and treats my hair to a little extra TLC. But I won't fib---I'm petrified that my conditioner will leak out and destroy my pillowcases---which is why I'm intrigued by The Rene Furterer's Overnight treatment. It supposedly goes on like a conditioner and instantly disappears into your strands. <Drools a little> #dontjudgeme!
