Knowledge is Power: Fairy knots...

Have you ever ran you fingers through your hair and noticed a few knots near your ends.  First of all, keep your hands out of your hair!!! Those knots are dreadful FAIR KNOTS...

Fairy knots or single strand knots (SSK) are knots on a single strand of hair.  Which in turn, results in split ends and breakage.  Many naturals are plagued with the frustrating "condition".

The term fairy Knots come from the belief that tiny fairies, actually tie the strand into knots.  Absolute rubbish!!!The truth of the fact, is that the coilier the hair the more the hair has the opportunity to wrap around itself to form these single strand knots. 

The only way to remedy fairy knots are to snip snip...but to prevent the from occurring there are a few things you can try:

1.  Moisturize...Moisturize....Moisturize!!!
2.  Avoid wash n go's whenever possible
3.  Dust hair regularly
4.  Seal ends with an oil or butter....did I say moisturize!!!

Even if you do all of these things, it is still likely that coily hair like 4a, b, and c to see a few knots.  I get them often, and when I see them I just snip that strand so I can prevent it from splitting.  If you do dust yours ends regularly, please invest in a good pair of shears.  Dull shears WILL do the same things as fairy knot; cause split ends.  Invest in pair of high quality, sharp shears.  They can get pricey, so do shop around!
