Braids/Extensions

·         Micro

·         Senegalese Twists

·         Cornrows

·         My stylist said I should shampoo my hair, what can I use to cleanse my braids ‘till my next shampoo?

 

 

 

 

 

·         When I take down my braids I notice that my hair is really dry and brittle.  Its shedding and breaking, is there anything that I can use to prevent this problem in the future?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·         I just got my braids and my scalp feels tight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·         I need something that will give my hair a great shine without the water that is in my braid spray

 

·         You can use the Herbal Cleanse to keep your hair and scalp feeling clean and fresh, in between regular shampooing.

 

 

 

 

 

·         The Shea Butter Lotion is ideal for braid wearers because it penetrates directly into the hair and beyond the extension to help add moisture.  It also helps to keep the hair from shedding and breaking, so that when you remove your braids you will not have that much breakage.

 

 

 

 

 

·         Scalp massages are essential for all hairstyles, but especially braids.  Simply apply a small amount of Anti-Itch scalp oil to the scalp and massage in gently.

 

 

 

 

 

 

·         Try Nature’s Shine, it contains no water and will leave your hair with long lasting shine.

·         Squeeze Herbal Cleanse throughout hair and scalp and vigorously massage in.  Wipe out with a moist towel to remove residue.  No water is needed!

 

 

 

·         Apply a small amount of Shea Butter into hands and massage on the scalp and on the braid where your natural hair is intertwined.   Your hair sheds an average of 50-100 strands per day.  During the period of time that your hair has been in braids it has had nowhere to go.  You will experience normal shedding after you take the braids down but not as much as before.

 

·         SPECIAL NOTE: Right after you get your braids done, rinse your scalp with warm water.  This will help to rejuvenate your scalp without removing your braids. Once you are finished, massage scalp with the Anti-Itch Scalp Oil to keep the scalp from feeling tight.

 

·         Lightly spray your hair with Nature’s Shine.

·         Try using the Uplifting Shampoo when you shampoo your braids.  It will exfoliate your scalp and condition your hair, while you wear your braids.

·         A special note for cornrows, to keep your cornrows looking there best use the Anti-Itch Scalp oil and the herbal cleanse.  Be sure to wrap you hair at night to keep it from frizzing.

LOCKS

·         I made the decision to lock my hair.  I know that I cannot shampoo my hair for weeks at a time, but what can I do to cleanse my hair before my next shampooing? 

 

 

 

 

·         I have heard that I should start my locks with beeswax, but it makes my locks feel gummy, what else can I use?

 

 

 

 

 

 

·         My locks are very hard and dry, what should I use to soften them?

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

·         I use oils on my scalp and by the time I leave the house I have oil running down my face and neck?  Do you have anything that will not run?

·         Getting through the early stages of locks can be difficult, especially the desire to shampoo.  Use Herbal Cleanse, it will cleanse your hair and scalp without water, so you will not risk losing your twists.

 

 

 

·         Try the Lock & Twist Gel instead.  You can use this to start your locks, and also to maintain as they grow and mature.  Beeswax will not only cause build-up, but as your locks mature, it will attract lint and other debris that will cause your locks to look dull and lifeless.

 

·         The Shea Butter Lotion is a great tool for you to massage into your locks to keep them looking and feeling there best.  It penetrates to the center of your locks without coating or leaving a residue.  It will soften the hair over time.  Try using the Uplifting Shampoo and Hair Mayonnaise Conditioner to help to soften the hair even more.

 

·         You can use the Anti-Itch Scalp Oil.  It has been formulated to Stay Where You Put It! So it won’t run.

·         When you go home use Herbal Cleanse to keep your hair and scalp cleansed in between shampooing.  You have to wait 4-6 weeks before you can shampoo your hair, so Herbal Cleanse will be your lifesaver!

 

·         Shampoo and condition the hair as usual.  Section the hair and apply small amounts of Lock & Twist Gel to the scalp and twist using your preferred method.  After you have finished set the hair under a dryer. 

 

 

·         Apply the Shea Butter Lotion throughout your locks and massage in to insure penetration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·         Massage a small amount of Anti-Itch Scalp oil onto the scalp.
