🌿 Tips for Caring for Hair

1. Keep the scalp clean
Wash hair regularly according to your hair type and activity level. A clean scalp helps prevent excessive oil, dirt and unpleasant odour.

2. Keep combs and brushes clean
Do not share combs, brushes, hair clippers or other personal grooming tools.

3. Avoid very tight hairstyles
Braids, cornrows, ponytails and other styles should not pull painfully on the scalp. Tight styles can cause hair breakage and hair loss.

4. Give your scalp a break
Avoid keeping one protective style for too long. Remove it when it becomes uncomfortable, dirty or causes itching or pain.

5. Keep your hair moisturised
Use suitable hair products to prevent excessive dryness and breakage. Avoid applying products that irritate your scalp.

6. Protect your hair at night
A clean satin/silk bonnet or scarf can help reduce friction and hair breakage.

7. Care for short/cut hair too ✂️
Keep the scalp clean, use clean clippers, and avoid sharing clippers or shaving tools. If you visit a barber, ensure the tools are properly cleaned.

8. Take care when plaiting
Hair should be handled gently. Don't allow anyone to braid hair so tightly that it causes pain, bumps or headaches.

9. Don't ignore scalp problems
Persistent itching, sores, swelling, unusual scaling or hair loss should be brought to the attention of a parent, teacher or healthcare professional.

10. Remember: beautiful hair should also be healthy hair. 💕

A hairstyle should make you feel confident not cause pain.
🌸 EmpowerHer message
“Your hairstyle is for beauty and confidence—not pain. Care for your hair, protect your scalp and listen to your body.”

👉 Girls, what is one healthy hair-care habit you will start today?

Clean undergarments, healthy habits, confident girls. 💕

Teaching girls how to wash, dry, store and care for their pants, bras, singlets and tights is teaching them to care for themselves with dignity.

Educate her. Empower her. Protect her.

The greatest reward of teaching is seeing your pupils succeed long after they leave your classroom.

Meet Deborah Daniel.

Years ago, during a classroom supervision visit, she confidently demonstrated her Jolly Phonics skills by accurately pronouncing letter sounds, blending them, and reading words fluently.

Today, Deborah is in JSS 3 at Salawu Abiola Comprehensive High School, Osiele. I still follow her academic journey, and watching her continue to excel reminds me that consistent, quality foundational teaching creates lifelong learners.

This is why I remain committed to Jolly Phonics and early-grade literacy.
