Thirsty Scalp

Its winter time and your scalp tend to flake and be dry a little more. Things to consider is drinking more water, covering your hair at night with a satin bonnet, using moisturizing/hydrating shampoos, massaging your scalp with oil twice a week. Treatments recommended are: Hair Masque, Hot Oil Treatments, Deep Moisture Conditioner.

 

Two Natural Treatments for help:

Make a deep treatment with mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is made essentially out of eggs and oil, so it's a riff on the deep treatment featured in Step 1. What sets mayonnaise apart is that it contains vinegar. Vinegar will help disinfect any fungus or bacteria that might be using your scalp as a temporary home, causing itching and dryness.

•

Apply 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to already dry hair. Massage into roots and scalp area and cover with a shower cap or other plastic cover.

•

Let stand for 15 minutes.

•

Rinse thoroughly in warm water before shampooing as usual

•

with dry scalp:

 

 

 

 

Tea Tree oil. Tea tree oil is renowned for its anti-bacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties, making it an excellent option for fighting dry scalp and the effects of dry hair. Tea tree oil smells great, moisturizes even better, and should be considered by anyone who is serious about treating dry scalp.

•

Use tea tree oil in your conditioner. Buy tea tree oil in essential oil form and simply add a tablespoon or so into your conditioner. This is a fast and inexpensive way to fortify your conditioner.

•

Find products that contain tea tree oil as an ingredient. Many shampoos and conditioners contain tea tree oil. Make sure you find one that is gentle and suited to your 

hair type

Natural Transition

Transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair is a frequent asked question. Many want to know should they cut it off or continue to grow it out. These two choices depend on the preference of the person. If you decide to just grow it out over a period of time you want to stay on top of your hair trims, and treatments. Treatment should be done every two weeks, and cold wash once a week with an intense moisturizer. When choosing this option you really get to learn how to manage your hair and what product will work well for it. Doing the big chop is a very dramatic experience, but the great thing is you get to experience the natural curl pattern growing out evenly. Some issue you maystruggle with during the process is tangling, hair breakage and split ends. But Consider conditioning more, moisturizers, and using oils daily. Products that have proteins, silicones and mineral oils are great for your hair.

Gerri Styles My Hair: Retro French Twist

For the first time in my life I am enjoying my short hair journey. Typically by now, I would have grown tired of it and slapped a weave in my hair! Gerri does a great job of showing me different short styles. 

This week, Retro French Twist! I love this look. It's perfect for work, special occasion, or a casual look. It's low maintenance with high impact. 

I workout so I needed a protective style that will still keep me sharp for business. 

Here are a few celebrity looks in the Retro French Twist:

To Maintain:

Use a light Aragon Oil for the sides of your hair and wrap the sides of your hair with a silk scarf. 

Use a non drying holding spray for the twist

Simple, easy, sexy & fun!

Gerri Styles My Hair: Pin Curls

More installments of my short hair adventures! I am trying new things every week to see what looks I like best.  Who said short hair isn't fun and versatile?  Gerri used the pin curls on my hair because it is a protective style.  A Protective style is a style that does not use heat on your hair.  I use this protective style in between my visits to Gerri so I don't have to use heat on my hair.

To Style:

Shampoo your hair and use a moisturizing conditioner
Set the sides of your hair with a set foam and sit under the dyer
Once dry use a light serum
finger through your hair with a blow dryer for the top of your hair if it is still damp
Section your hair
Curl and pin as you curl.  Pinning your curl will set the curl, much like hot rollers.
At night before bed pin you hair in curls and sleep in a silk bonnet.

There is no need to use hairspray to maintain, it is a low maintenance hairstyle, provided you pin your hair every night.

Split End Drama

Having split ends can be very terrible for your hair. This can lead to many different issues with your hair causing hair damage and breakage. Split Ends can be a result from many different things: excessive brushing, combing, curling your hair too often with extremely hot tools, not trimming ends, and blow drying your hair too often. Your ends should be trimmed every 4-6 weeks, when washing your hair use an intense moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, really focusing on the ends of your hair when washing.  Make sure you comb you hair out with a wide tooth comb after washing and styling. Use a serum on your hair that will protect your hair shaft when styling, and try to protect your hair from too much sun exposure.

Few Recommended Products:

Design Essentials Define and Shine 2 in 1 Finishing Lotion

Tresemme’ Split End Sealing Serum

Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Conditioner

Aveda Damage Remedy

BioSilk Silk Therapy

Gerri Styles My Hair: Feathered bang

This week Gerri Styled My Hair for my TV taping.  I wanted something different so we went with a bang! Since my short cut happened in December, we have been experimenting with different short styles.  I've had short hair before, but I never changed my hairstyle so much.  Having a creative hairstylist is key to keeping the looks fresh and fun.

This was my inspiration:

This look is chic, sophisticated, and fashion-forward. I love the volume of the hair.  I might keep this look for a little while :)

To care for the hair: 

1. Wear a bonnet at night

2. In the morning, bump the hair lightly, finger through the hair with wax to give the hair the wispy effect.
