DRY HAIR

Hello all its been a while since I posted anything. The Holiday and New Year has been very busy for me. During this harsh winter season I have noticed a change in my hair so this post is dedicated to dry hair. What I have found is that you have to find a conditioner to fit your hair type. To find out more about your hair type log on to http://www.healthytextures.com/ Very helpful to help you figure out what your hair type is. What has been helpful to me is adding a booster so to speak to my conditioner like coconut and avocado oil to my conditioner. For the last 7-8 months I have used a Dominican Hair conditioner called 10en 1 the bomb yall . You can find this conditioner at Variety Beauty Supply on Lake street in Minneapolis. Other wise you can go to http://www.roundbrushhair.com/ This site has a full array of Dominican Products. But going back to the avocado oil and coconut oil, when I wash my hair or go into the shop I add these oils to my conditoner for an added boost. The befits are that the oil conditions the scalp and promotes hair growth and your hair will become softer and manageable. What I like most about oils is that is conditions from your hair shaft to the tip. Sometimes I skip the conditioner all together and pre-condition with an oil. Shampoos can be tricky since we all have been convinced to clarify, shampoo,re-shampoo with all the lather. What I have found is that this is damaging for your hair and the lather of the shampoo strips you scalp and hair of essential oils that are necessary for our hair to grow, shine, and to be manageable. Instead look for shampoo that will not lather or have harsh chemicals that will wreak havoc on your scalp and hair. On my list of Leah's Favorites there are a few companies that have shampoos that are great and are nourishing for the hair. The one I really like is from the company Oyin Handmade. Sometimes I use a conditioner as a Shampoo this has helped me alot when my scalp becomes dry in the winter. Okay from the inside out to combat this is very important omega oil, fish oil supplements and also eating foods with this fatty acid in it such as fish, almonds, and green leafy vegetables. Also in addition to lots of water. A few picks of conditioner ideas. 10 en 1, Mario Badiusco conditions can be found at Nordstroms, avocado oil, coconut oil can be found at your local health food store and last but not least shea butter. For deep condoning its best to use a steamer instead of heat at times heat dehydrates the hair. But just using a plastic cap or saran wrap helps deep conditioners the hair the heat from your body is sufficient in most cases. Leave in conditioners still on the fence with this concept. To keep you ends in tip top shape use an oil just on the ends to seal moisture. Let me know some of your favorite conditioners and tips for dry scalp and hair.
