Your afro is so beautiful... Your daughter's hair is so thick & healthy... I hear these things all the time, along with 'WHAT do you do to get SUCH HEALTHY HAIR???'
Well, you asked and I answered... Here are my go-to routines for myself and my kids :).
Hair Boost, my flagship product, is an AMAZING HANDMADE Hair and Body Butter made with 19 different natural ingredients that hydrate and protect the hair and skin.
I have formulated a complete product line the “Hair Boost Method” to compliment the Hair Boost.
Check out my Wash Day Routine, as well as my skin regimen.
KEEP THIS as your Haircare Bible.
STEP ONE
I wash hair with my STEP 1: PURIFY - Clarifying Shampoo, and then rinse.
Clarifying shampoo removes product build-up from the hair and scalp without stripping the natural oils because it is pH balanced, is made of an herbal blend that is gentler on your hair and scalp.
STEP TWO
Next I use my STEP 2: RESTORE - Moisturizing Shampoo, then rinse.
Moisturizing shampoo cleanses the hair and scalp without stripping the natural oils because it is made of botanical extracts that are gentler on your hair and scalp.
STEP THREE
Followed by my STEP 3: HYDRATE - Moisturizing Conditioner, then rinse.
Hydrate, detangle and moisturize hair with an herbal blend and botanical extracts.
STEP FOUR
Next I apply my STEP 4: REPAIR - Hair Mask Protein Treatment and sit under the bonnet dryer for 15-20 minutes, then rinse.
The hair mask provides intense moisturizing treatment that reconstructs, detangles and conditions the hair.
STEP FIVE
Then I apply my STEP 5: NOURISH - Leave-in Conditioner.
This leave-in conditioner provides extra moisture, protects from damage and helps detangle using an herbal blend of ingredients.
STEP SIX
Then I apply the STEP 6: HAIR BOOST to scalp and hair (like hair grease).
A little goes a long way, too much will make the hair feel weighed down and greasy. It is also an excellent heat protector.
HAIR BOOST locks in moisture providing key ingredients to nourish the hair.
STEP SEVEN
Part hair into small sections, apply STEP 7: SET – Styling Foaming Lotion to each section and use rollers or rods. Sit under the dryer for 45 mins - 1hr or until dry.
This can also be used for two strand twists, air dry or under the dryer to add a medium to firm hold to your style.
SET reduces frizz while providing body, volume and a firm hold.
Every other night I apply small amounts to my scalp and my daughters scalp of the STEP 6: Hair Boost and then tie up our head with a satin scarf or bonnet. This is our normal night-time routine.
