Moving right along.....Moisture retention is the key to hair health and hair growth. Here's a suggestion for maintaining your moisture in your hair. (This is GREAT for new naturals in finding the proper moisture level of your hair).
1. Do the 'Baggie Method'. It's sort of like creating a 'green house effect' on your hair. How do you 'Baggie"?
A) Apply water to your hair with a
spray bottle. Water is the only substance that penetrates the hair shaft at 100%. B) Apply your favorite conditioner (I use
Deep SOULutions Deep Conditioner). C) Put on a
plastic cap and a
bonnet for an extended period of time, often overnight. Your natural body heat activates the heat to LOVE on your hair deep down. D) When it's time to rinse, do so using cool water to close the cuticle. E) Apply an oil or a butter to SEAL in the MOISTURE. A great oil to seal is
Premium Castor Oil. A great butter to use is African Shea Butter.
(NOTE: If you are experiencing dry hair, it's great to do the a few times a week. It will result in soft supple hair. Also, Coconut Oil is one of the few oils that can penetrate the hair shaft. If you are doing the 'Baggie Method as a Pre-poo, you should use
Extra Virgin Coconut oil in this order. 1. Water, Coconut Oil, Deep Conditioner, Cover with plastic cap and bonnet. The act of pre-pooing and the advantage of it is to prepare your hair BEFORE your shampoo. It will ensure you do not stripe you hair of its NATURAL oils during the wash or co-wash process.
