4 Natural Chinese Hair Secrets Passed Down from my Mom

Do you feel like the older you get, the more you want to be like your mom? When I think back on my early 20s now, I wish I had listened to my mama on SO many things (yes don't chase that boy, focus on myself, education and hard work will pay off… the list goes on). My mom is truly a hard worker and always taught me to take care of my body and mind first! Growing up in China, I never saw her wear make-up, but one thing she did do was stress the importance of healthy hair. This coming from a woman who had hair all the way down to her hips! I remember growing up wishing I had beautiful long, thick locks like hers. I have vivid memories of her letting me brush her long locks and we would laugh and bond over hair styles. Today, I am sharing my mom's 4 tried and true Chinese “hairitage” secrets, while answering a few commonly asked questions about my haircare routine!
