Hair Regimen

Basically, a healthy hair regimen should consist of products and hair practices to be used to grow hair and retain length. It should also be a combination of protein for strength, moisture and natural oils to combat dryness. Mine consists mostly of  moisturising products and natural oils.

It could be strict or flexible. However, I feel that a strict regimen would help attain goals faster.

Here goes...

WEEKLY

• Hot oil treatment with a mixture of castor oil, coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. I apply this to dry hair, that is, hair that hasn't been washed, cover with my conditioning cap and leave for about 2 hours.
• Moisturise and Clean scalp with a sulphate-free shampoo, to remove any build-up that might have accumulated during the week.
• Deep condition with a moisturising and protein conditioner, with a mixture of shea butter, honey, coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. I apply this to washed hair, making sure hair is not dripping wet, cover with a conditioning cap leave for about 6 hours or keep in overnight. After this, I rinse off with cold water, to seal in all the yummy oils, moisture and protein. 

DAILY

• Use the L.O.C method, at night, before bedtime:

- apply a Liquid moisturiser to my undergrowth, and this works perfectly.

- seal with Oil. I use coconut oil to seal, because its lighter and seals the moisture in well.

- seal the above with a Cream-based moisturiser. 

• Massage Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) into my edges and my nape, for growth. 
• Drink lots of water, to keep body hydrated. 
• Take my Vitamins
• Use a black satin scarf over my hair, to straighten edges and protect ends at night.
