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!
