The human hair is a network of systems that primarily lives on moisture and vitamins. Our hair is constantly thirsty and in need of moisture.
Amount/type of moisture to apply has been the most widely debated hair topic.
The below is a general guide on moisture requirements for different hair types.
Type 1 hair is fine and relatively easy to manage. Light oil based hair products like coconut oil and hair serums (not weave serums) are great to keep your hair silky and moisturized. I personally love Profectiv Mega growth oils & extra virgin olive oil.
Type 2 hair is wavy and needs more moisture. Heavier oils and a bi-monthly dose of sealants is required (a sealant is a heavy form of hair products that locks moisture in your hair for a long period of time and deeply conditions it)
Recommended sealants are Kuza beewax cream, African Gold Coconut Oil Hair conditioner, Kuza Indian hemp hair cream and shea butter amongst others.
Type 3 curly hair is often patched and needs long tall glasses of moisture. This consists of oils, bi-weekly sealants and monthly loving deep conditioning sessions. Leave in hair conditioners and strengthners are great for this hair type.
Type 4 hair is a diva and needs the most moisture application, sealants, washing and frequent deep conditioning treatments.
Deep conditioning for type 4 hair is very important. My personal favourites are Profectiv Mega Growth Anti Breakage Strenghtening Deep conditioner and hair mayonnaise. Adding shea butter and honey to your conditioner is an extra plus as it increases hair moisture and shine. I will discuss deep conditioning in detail soonest.
What are your hair moisture/conditioning regime? Feel free to share....
