Moisturizing your Tresses

Source

We all have that time where our hair becomes unmanageable and we can hardly run a comb through it. Have you considered that it is because your hair isn't moisturized? Last night after I rambled on about the wildness of my hair that thought came to me, and I made a little moisture spray. This spray instantly made my hair feel softer and more manageable. If you're having day to day moisture struggles things such as braiding your hair at night and spraying with with a simple distilled water, drop of glycerin and drops of Castor oil (oil of your choice) mix may solve this problem. Hair that is not moisturized in the morning and at night may result in excessive shedding and extreme knots [ I experienced this]. Our hair needs moisture to be manageable, so make sure your either rubbing your hair with leave in and coconut oil or spraying it with some mix to keep it healthy.


Concoctions to keep it moisturized [daily]:

• Distilled water and any Oil [spray]
• Hair Butter
• Leave-In and any Oil [rub down]
• Glycerin [add to any of these options and it attracts moisture from the air around you]

Natural Hair Care Regimen

New to the world of natural things and you keep hearing about a natural hair care regimen?  Well going natural and getting the most growth isn't as simple as you think. For some, they can cut their hair tomorrow and have long hair next week, for the rest of us our hair grows at dirt slow pace. To make that pace snail speed we try and come up with a regimen which should help this process. No one can tell you what your regimen is but I can tell you what my own is and you can do your own little tweaks to it. You may choose to wash on Thursdays, I  been washing my hair on Fridays/Saturdays since high school. Try to keep the moisturizing a twice a day thing. By the end of the day our hair is dry and needs that life back.

• Moisturize hair <A.M. &P.M.> with either spray mixture or coconut oil. (take a dime size amount [little goes a long way] and evenly apply it through my hair.
