Salon Secrets for Natural Hair
Just like back in the '60s, sistas are rockin' natural hairstyles, but now they're
much more creative. Instead of just afros, black women are proudly sporting low naturals, locks, and twists. But as different as these styles may look, they all need the same thing ? MOISTURE.
Moisture makes natural hair easier to comb and style, and promotes the hair's natural sheen. Having it is a must, but you can't get the necessary moisture with outdated products that weigh hair down or cause dryness. In between salon visits, try these steps at home...
Keep It Clean ~ It doesn't take long for natural hair to show signs of build up from smoke, air pollutants, and products, so don't be afraid to shampoo natural hair frequently. This build up overshadows the hair's natural moisture and leaves it dull and dry. Shampoo your hair as needed, depending on texture and style, but be sure to use a clarifying shampoo like Design Essentials Organic Cleanse Deep Cleansing Shampoo with oatmeal to completely remove any impurities from your hair. Follow that with a moisturizing shampoo like Design Essentials Moisture Retention Conditioning Shampoo to soften and detangle your hair
Condition ~ Once the hair is clean, don't abandon it. Prepare your hair for whatever it may encounter ? styling tools, humidity, heat, ? by taking a few minutes to condition after shampooing with moisture rich Design Essentials conditioners.
Locks & Twists
Sistas wearing twists or locks, must take extra care to keep the hair and scalp moist, otherwise hair can break at the root. For complete and even coverage use Diamonds Oil Sheen Spray which is great for daily moisture, conditioning, and shine.
Natural hair is not what it used to be ? it's better when the right products and techniques are used, and the natural beauty of your hair is revealed through the styles and trends of today.
