ROOTS: Fall in love with your hair

ROOTS: Fall in love with your hair

A New Year is here, and it is time to fall in love with your hair.

Natural hair doesn't necessary mean healthy hair. Just because a protective style can last up to 12 weeks you must still maintain your hair weekly or bi-weekly. Healthy hair means a healthy scalp. Here are the steps to maintaining healthy hair and a healthy scalp.

1. Keeping your scalp clean is essential.  If the scalp is dirty with product or scalp buildup then the pores are closed causing slow to no growth. Your scalp doesn't require shampoo weekly of every time you sweat. You can use products like NNR Scalp Refresher, Hair Astringent, or a co-poo product.

 

2. The next step is to stimulate the scalp with a daily massage using your finger tips. You can use a light oil, essenial oils or nothing but firm massaging. Having an invigorating scalp ensures that the blood will circulate move causing more hair growth.

 

3. Invest in different hair treatments. Start with a hydration steam treatment twice a month. Depending on the health and needs of your hair rotate your conditioners.

 

Moisturizing conditioners are basic treatments that ensure moisture to the hair shaft and cuticle.

Protein conditioners strengthen the hair cuticle and stop breakage.

Hair Masks are also for excellent  treatments for  your tresses. There are different hair masks depending on your hair texture.

Happy Moisturizing!
