Going Au Naturale: Episode 6

With the fall and winter months approaching, its time to start figuring out how to retain moisture in our natural heads of hair in order to prevent excessive drying and breakage. In this video, I present key factors that have helped with retaining moisture in my hair

-Making sure to wash out my conditioner with cool water
- (Using the following as leave-in products after conditioning) : [in the order that they should be used] water-based products , oil-based products, cream-based products

My water-based product: Rosemary water with vegetable glycerin spritz

My oil-based product: Safflower oil base with lemon and peppermint essential oils (spritz)

My cream-based product: My hair moisturizing cream (base of shea butter, coconut oil, aloe vera gel with various essential oils)

@NicoleNaturally that's what i wanna know, as i have a shea moisture thick hair cream which goes well with my hair. 31 YRS IT TOOK FOR ME TO REALIZE SHEA MOISTURE IS KEY! (Shame). So i too wanna know if i should take some, whisk it up whilst adding some coconut oil and moisturize like that,, OOORRR, 2, use sone and add some coconut oil in your fingers and then add to the hair?? this last method i used this morning, and my hair did feel SOOOOFT! But still never looks moisturized no matter what!

@keelathebee i think curl activator is the perfect solution seeing as it is a moisturizer and is water based at the same time. Saves time hunting around don't it. Just like you, i'm just as confused about the whole process!

@ido3444 it must be something you're using that doesn't agree with you.

If you like, try hairfinity tablets from the states, or biotin based products

Thanks for your help

@AlaMetMetAla Um if what you say is true, why does every hair care specialist I have spoken to, say the exact opposite? Aloe Vera Gell/Juice if I'm not mistaken corrects your phBalance. That has nothing to do with closing your hair follicles, not cuticles. But what do I know, my degree is in psychology.

@AlaMetMetAla Water is not basic. Its neural (at pH 7)
