Since starting my Grow Out Challenge, I have increase the times I wet or hydrate my hair with water. Here are some facts about water and washing natural hair.
[ad#ad3]
- Your body is primarily made of water water this includes your hair.
- Water is the best moisturizer for hair and skin.
- Your hair products should be water based to really moisturize.
Currently, I shampoo, rinse, steam and mist my hair and scalp regularly. This is the beginning step of moisturizing your hair in layers. We’ll talk about that in building a moisturizing regimen. In doing this I use coconut oil or shea butter to seal the moisture into my hair and scalp. Applying from root to ends.
- Shampoo once a week with a sulfate-free shampoo
- Rinse hair every two to three days & seal in the moisture with shea butter or coconut oil. In the winter time, dry hair under a hooded dryer for about 20 mins. Also cover hair with satin scarf in extremely cold climates.
- Mist hair and scalp with water and vegetable glycerin mixture in spray bottle. You can purchase vegetable glycerin here.

She also has patches of dried scales continuous through out her head and needs to be rewashed during the week, but I always hold off on that and just oil her hair again.
