Simple Steps To Keeping Healthy Locks:

.Using pre-shampoo treatments can help to infuse your hair with the moisture it needs to grow its longest. This is the best time to apply hot oil treatments so that the excess oils can be washed away during shampooing. The best pre-shampoo treatment to use is Organic Virgin Coconut oil because it actually penetrates the hair unlike most oils which only coat the hair. It should be applied like a hot oil treatment before washing. After applying, the hair should be covered with a plastic cap. Leave on hair for 30 minutes without heat or 15 minutes with heat. Then you may proceed to washing.
.Shampoos containing harsh sulfates strip the hair and should be avoided.

Do not use shampoos that contain the following sulfates:

  • Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
  • Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
  • TEA Laureth Sulfate
  • TEA Lauryl Sulfate
  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

The following sulfates are gentle and will not damage your hair:

  • Polyoxethylene Fatty Alcohols
  • PEG 80
  • Sorbitan Laurate
  • Decyl Polyglucose
  • Cocamidopropyl Betaine
  • Sodium Myreth Sulfate

Hair Growth Tips

  • Do not use rubber bands or metal clips on the hair.
