Moisturizing 101

The most common question I get asked is how I keep my hair moisturized throughout the day and to be honest, its pretty easy.  The key to moisturizing your hair is....WATER! That's right, good ole H2O! Drinking plenty of water is the first step, but incorporating water in your regimen is just as important. Water is best source of moisture (that should be no surprise) so there is no need to be afraid of it!! Embrace the spray bottle!! So, here's my method for retaining moisture:



  • Nightly rituals!! Come up with a nightly regimen that includes lightly misting your hair, sealing and topping with a satin bonnet. My nightly regimen consists of:
    • Lightly misting my hair with plain water
    • Adding a very small amount (dime size) of leave in to the hair
    • Sealing with my oil of choice (if I seal at night, I use an oil with a thinner consistency, usually, coconut oil)
    • Wrap hair with satin scarf or bonnet (the way you wrap depends on the style you're wearing)
  • Morning regimen:
    • Just add water to "wake up" products to hair (no need to apply product if you just added it the night before)
    • Apply whatever styling product is needed
    • Seal with oil (I use my favorite, One N' Only Argon Oil) 
And viola! You've got soft luscious coils that will last all day with no fuss!  Very easy!

Stay Beautiful!
