Moisturize & seal and Castor oil Challenge

How I Moisturize and Seal My Hair

Hey Ladies Thank God its Fridayyyyyy…. heres a tip on how to:

Moisturizing and sealing your hair is when you apply a moisturizer to your hair before sealing in the moisture with an oil. For ladies with relaxed or natural hair, moisturizing and sealing is an essential part of your hair regimen to retain your length and to avoid breakage.

There are moisturizers which already contain oil in the ingredients to which some ladies will use just the one product to both moisturize and seal the hair in one. Most of the moisturizers I prefer to use the one with no oil in it then seal my hair afterwards with an oil. I generally switch my moisturizers depending on availability either its  my Elasta QP Olive Oil and mango butter or ORS olive oil moisturizing hair lotion and Scurl no drip activator Moisturizer and seal with Castor oil or EVOO and apply JBCO or Doo Grow

I moisturize and seal my hair daily maybe once or twice in the mornings or before bed depending on my schedule for the day, at times I'll spray my hair with a shine mist instead before wrapping my hair with a satin scarf and then moisturize and seal in the morning.

I section my hair off into four parts and apply a small amount of moisturizer through each section, starting at the ends and then working my way up to the roots of the hair, I then twist or braid the section for the moisturizer to aborb into my hair. Then I go back through each section, applying a drop or two of oil before twisting it again so it's getting to every strand. Depending on how I am wearing my hair the next day, I will either go on to wrap my hair, twist ,braid or put in a loose bun then protect it overnight with a satin scarf.

My hair feels softer and more manageable compared to when I began my Hair journey 6 months ago. Loving the results……

Just joined HAIRLISTA INC castor oil challenge for 3 months

Advance Level:

• Apply Castor oil to your scalp every other day. Use sparingly. Massage it in. Focus on Damaged areas.
• Apply 1 tsp of castor oil to your deep conditioner weekly with heat. Rinse thoroughly.

 

I will continue with my current regimen daily

I apply castor oil or JBCO to my ends/edges/and nape after each wash.

I moisturize and seal nightly with Elasta QP Olive Oil and mango butter or Scurl no drip activator Moisturizer and seal with Castor oil or EVOO and apply JBCO or Doo Grow mega thick oil to my scalp 4-5 times a week.

also once or twice a week I use the GHE method applying JBCO to my ends.

I am going to eliminate the EVOO and Doo grow mega thick oil and just use my JBCO and Plain pure castor oil. Am posting my pics for just before i got my sew in weave i had deep conditioned with ORS hair mayonnaise

Happy hair growing

Deep Conditioning day Under Sew In

Hey!

Hope you all had a great weekend, Well for me yesterday was quite a Sunday had errands to run and it was also my deep conditioning day. When i have a weave on i deep condition every two weeks. Here's how it went:

• I Started by combing through the hair with a wide tooth comb to remove all tangles. I Started from the ends to the roots.
• Next was to Fill a spray bottle up with diluted shampoo and spray the scalp and hair. I used ORS  Creamy Aloe Shampoo then Using the method of spraying in between each track toas close as possible to the scalp, I Proceed by spraying the rest of the weave.
• I then Rinsed the shampoo out of the hair using warm water and a wide tooth comb. Make sure that you rinsed the scalp thoroughly and removing all of the soap from the scalp.
• I towel dried the hair then applied my mixture of Elasta QP DPR-11+ Deep Penetrating Remoisturizer Conditioner, JBCO, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil and Amla Oil. I used a nozzle top applicator bottle to apply the DC onto my hair. I am also crazy about keeping my weave soft and smooth, and one of the ways I do that is with a good conditioner so i applied the remaining conditioner to my weave, Your weave will thank you!*  
•  
• After sitting under my conditioning cap for 30 mins i rinsed the Deep conditioner out and applied my leave-in conditioner Aphogee Pro -Vitamin leave- in condirioner which is one of my favourites then i air dried. DO NOT APPLY any oils to the hair weave, and do try to limit your use of a heated appliance
•  I waited for my hair to completely dry out then i moisturized my hair with a mixture of Cantu Shea Butter leave in conditioning repair cream then sealed with olive oil making sure not getting any product or oils on the weave.
•  
• Wore my satin bonnet and was off to bed 
• Remember Hair should be washed weekly! and when in braids and weaves every two weaks.

I hope this post is helpful to someone, if you have any questions as always drop it below in the comments section and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.  Thanks for reading!
