Moisturise properly.
Follow the right moisture method for your hair . The right one is one that leaves your hair soft and manageable. LOC / LCO / LO / LC are methods of retaining moisture which will help keep hair moisturised for longer helping to retain length . Make sure the hair is fully hydrated before applying the oils
Take care of your scalp.
Your scalp is the garden through with your hair sprouts from. You must ensure it is clean, hydrated and nourished . Do regular massages to circulate blood.
Avoid heat at all costs.Â
Its not damages your hair but your hair many not get its curls back after constant use.
Leave your hair alone.Â
The more you manipulate, comb, braid, etc you’re stressing your hair out. Try to do a style that can last atleast 3 days.
Satin is your friend.
Sleep with a satin bonnet or pillow. It helps to retain length and prevents hair from mechanical damage.Â
BraidingÂ
Avoid braiding more than twice a year. And never keep braids for longer than 6-8 weeks. By doing so you stand the risk of traction aloepecia / receding hairline. If the person who braids / plaits your hair, pulls, – change them.
Eat your plants & hydrate your body.
Hair comes from within and is a sign of vitality..no amount of product can make up for a poor diet. A holistic approach is best.
Choose plant based.
It is better for your hair, your body. Mother nature knows best.
