Moisturizing Your Hair With Affordable And Effective Products

Hey curly friends!!

If you are just starting your natural hair journey either you are transitioning or you have big chopped, you might be thinking that moisturizing your natural hair is expensive and time wasting, am going to be sharing how you can do that with affordable products.

Now moisturizing is the process of applying moisture to your hair, it could be water( the ultimate moisture) or any leave-in conditioner that must contain water(aqua). Moisturizing can only be complete when you use an oil or butter to seal up this moisture.

You can use the LOC (liquid, oil and creme) method or the LCO( liquid, creme and oil) method, which ever one that works for your hair.

Products

Water as liquid, oils can be coconut oil, olive oil or any oil of your choice, and Shea butter popularly known as ORI can be used as creme. When you use this method, moisture remains on your hair for longer time. These products can be found in any local market and less expensive.

Share how you moisturize your hair with affordable products.

My Natural Hair Regime.

The first thing i like to do on my wash day is the  pre-poo,  my hair love coconut oil  and thats what i use for it, most times when i want to do a hot oil treatment, i mix it with Extra virgin olive oil. For my  detangling, i prefer to first finger detangle then use a wide tooth comb to remove the knots (cos i detect them) before shampooing  or co-washing , then i proceed to wash my hair in about 6 chunky twists. I have made it mandatory to deep condition  my hair on every wash day for about twenty to thirty minutes OR i leave it for hours if my hair needs extra attention. After which i follow with Apple Cider Vinegar rinse (ACV). Next i apply my leave-in conditioner and seal the moisture with an  oil.

As for my hair products, i am not really a fan of many products (lol) but you can...

Embrace your shrinkage.

Shrinkage is one of the major struggles curly girls go through especially the 4c texture. Most times it leaves you wondering what happened to your length or it ruins your styles. This usually happens on your wash day or when the weather is humid. However,  it doesn't matter the reasons for the shrinkage but a huge eye opener when the hair transforms from its shrunken state to a stretched state. Now, for this transformation to happen, you don't need to be a professional hair stylist,  you can try easy styles like the Bantu knots, twist-outs, braid-out, and even old school corn row. Blow out also gives you the most length but make sure to use cool air. Shrinkage shows that your hair is healthy,  so for your natural hair to go back to its shrunken state after been stretched shows that your hair is healthy. It is important to focus on the health of your hair more than being length conscious. The big deal is, if your hair is healthy, your hair will grow. Lastly, ...
