With a dark slender physique, she strikes you an image of a perfect beauty and brain. Claudia Adelu is one of Nigeria’s super models. And having done well for herself, in 2010, she emerged the Next Nigeria’s Super Model(NNSM).

It is important to get the basics right! When it comes to hairstyles for round faces, there are a few things to keep in mind when styling.

It is not true that every woman must ‘relax’ her hair. There are many things to consider before taking that step to apply chemicals to your hair.

None like yours: Your hair is as individual as your signature. You must be single-minded when it comes to matters of your hair’s health. This is the first fact you must believe.

Definitely not! Every woman can not have long hair because not all women are blessed with the genes and even among those who may have inherited genes for great hair, not all will have the type of information they need or the time/effort/money to acquire healthy hair.

When should you never ignore your hair’s needs? What are the most beneficial treatments for chemically straightened Black hair? When should they be done? The general rule is to pay attention to the health of hair before and after chemical application.

If you cannot get what you want, take what you get! That is a sum-total of what hairdressing entails. Genes determine hair-type, like great legs or sexy eyes; you either have the genes or you don’t. But the important thing is to let what you have work for you and make sure you keep hair out of harm’s way, so you don’t suffer irreversible damage.

Once you sort out exactly what your scalp needs to thrive, you are half-way home. Healthy hair can only start with a clean and clear scalp; scalp that is flaky, itchy, greasy or just not ‘normal’ in the sense that it will need something special to help it, will not sprout healthy hair.

There is no hard and fast rule to achieving great-looking hair. Once you establish what the peculiar characteristics of your scalp and hair are, it would make things easier for you. You will then learn to target your specific challenge[s], instead of doing a one-size-fits-all type of treatment, which may not be beneficial to your hair’s needs.

Beyond having a penchant for relaxers with double-barrel names, one cannot easily decipher why the first choice of most women is a no-lye formula as the agent to be used to straighten hair.
