Healthy Hair Tips

Natural Hair- This type of hair is extremely light and dry, so it requires gentle combing and alcohol-free moisture retention products with Natural Lanolin U.S.P.

​

Processed Hair- This type of hair is delicate due to cellular damage caused by chemical processing, so it requires detergent free shampoos and the cell repairing nutrients provided by adequate amounts of Vitamins A and E.

​

Ponytails- Hair worn in this style run the risk of drying at the base and ends, and then breaking off around the hair line and base of the ponytail due to the elastic closure, so it requires a barrier of moisture retaining lubrication provided by a synergetic blend of lanolin, olive oil, and Vitamins A and E. (applied directly to the outside of the hair before the styling gel is applied).

​

Sew-in-Weaves- Hair worn this way is ideal for rejuvenation and re-growth due to the rest the hair receives being in braids.   The ideal time to protect or "hibernate" the hair is during the winter months (December 1 -February 28). Placing the hair in cornrows allows for the gentle tension at the scalp to release mature hair follicles and hold in moisture to keep the scalp supple and the strands protected from breakage. Crochet weave styles provide even better protection because the soft hair is pulled through the braided strands, rather than using thin thread strings that with friction, cause breakage.

​

Braids/Locs- This type of hair requires consistent stimulation and moisture balancing products applied with ease through applicator tip dispensers.  

​

Damaged Hair- (Alopecia, bald spots, thinning)- This type of hair hurts the heart and self-esteem more than anything else! When the scalp has reached this stage of loosing full strands in excessive amounts, the body is signaling deficiencies elsewhere with the organs.  These deficiencies stem from poor nutrition, poor shampoo and conditioner selection and ineffective moisture retention products. 

 

A common food ingredient that contributes to hair loss is wheat/gluten.

​

A common mineral deficiency that contributes to hair loss is Iron
