How I Wash And Style My Hair

Answer to Request - How to make hair shiny and healthy looking

***** Link to Video on Youtube listed at the end of this post ***** 


Oils Before Wash 
Coconut and Olive (extra virgin and cold pressed)


Pre-wash

1st i use - Coconut oil - Slather coconut oil starting from roots/scalp first - this helps remove dirt toxins etc - and nourishes your hair/scap - treats dry scap - and massaging it onto your roots will help increase blood flow to scalp - and will help the coconut oil go deep into your hair follicles - poromotes hair growth - and strengthens hair follicles hence decreasing the rate of your hair fall

2nd - Olive oil - is the one that gives you the luxurious healthy shine to your hair - i do not everrr use it for the roots of my hair because Olive Oil though its a netural food/product (doesn't warm or cool your body) it does mess with the texture of your hair - i find - also it gives me acne when i use it on my face so i never let it touch my skin - ofcourse hands are ok --- anywayssss - so apply olive oil mid-way to tips of hair

Leave it on for 10 minutes to up to 30 minutes - leaving it longer might affect the texture of your hair so i dont recomnd - i do sometimes leave it on for 2 - 3 hrs because i get busy with my new born baby - i make sure i dont leave it on for too long though



Washing Your Hair

Shampoo - Argan Oil Shampoo
*****Shampoo - Only use shampoo on your roots and massage your scalp*****
i have recently switched to a new Organic Shampoo - i have been on this shampoo for about 3 months - im not sure if it helped my hair grow - but i do see even the baby hair around the perimeter of my forehead growing


Here is a picture of the Shampoo i use


i bougth it off Amazon - of course after doing a PHD research on it (PS If you're using WEN please stop it!! it damages your hair / theres so many reviews /videos on youtube of how it makes your hair fall off - like chunks and chunks of it - i saw it online somewhere - thought i should share it - ahh the importance of reveiwing products before you buy off amazon!!! ) 

i will do a review of this shampoo soon on my blog!

Conditioner - Tresemme - Anti-Breakage Conditioner



i have been using tresmme for at least 7 years now - i do switch to something new just to try something out - but i always seem to go back to this one - it smells profesh - it leaves your hair so smooth - i dont know it just works for me - i did stop using it while i was preggos because it was way too slipery in the tub for me - but now i am back to using Tresemme



Just for you to compare the size - The shapoo bottle is pretty big - it just looks like it fits into my hand because i have an abnormally large hand lol



After Wash Care and Styling


Oils After Wash
Jojoba and/or Argan

*****apply oil to damp hair*****
*****and only from midway to tips of hair*****

Right after you hop outa the shower - towel dry your hair - apply a few drops of jojoba oil or argan oil - NOT TO YOUR ROOTS - keep it 2 or even 5 inches away from the roots of your hair 

Jojoba Oil (pronounced as HOHOBA OIL) - is lighter than Argan oil - i use jojoba when i have used a lot of oils before washing my hair

so for this video / this time i only used jojobo oil 


Argan oil - the one i use is a tad bit heavy - and so it will make your hair oily if you use too much of it after a wash - i only use argan oil after wash if i haven't done any oil treatments before wash - to make it easy for you to understand.... 




COCONUT OIL +OLIVE OIL (BEFORE WASH) = JOJOBA OIL (AFTER WASH)
NO OIL (BEFORE WASH) = ARGAN OIL (AFTER WASH - maybe like 5 drops on each side of your hair - when parted in the middle) 

******got them both on amazon*****
DO NOT get it from the health store at the malls - i get a tiny bottle n they sell it for like $20 this one is pretty big for the same price


Styling


i Straight my hair either before i go to bed (if i have the time) or the morning after 

Key here is to AIR DRY your hair

once my hair is all dry and ready to style.. i straight it - i am not a fan of stick straight hair - so when i staright my hair - i curl just the ends of it 

Oil After Styling
Jojoba 

After you style you hair - straight/wavy or cruly - apply jojoba oil to the ends your hair - again, jojoba oil is lighter so it wont weigh your hair down or ruin your style



*****EXTRAAAA TIP FOR VOLUMINOUS HAIR *****

Bend over
tie hair up (not too tight you dont want to go bald)

this is the hair tie i use 



it doesn't leave any dents or creases in hair - you wouldn't want to spend 20 hours doing your hair then tie it all up with a super shity tight hair tie and damage both your hair/scap and the style

I usually have my hair up like that almost all the time - i like my hair up and out of my face - again, i make sure its not too tight - i only let my hair down when i go out
