The way to well managed hair is a great routine that include great staple products. When transitioning this is the only way to ensure less breakage, maximum growth and a great transition.
Tell us your story:
I am in my 8th month of transition and I have been adding staple products into my routine. However I have been suffering from a dry itchy irritated scalp for as long as I could remember. Going natural has definitely helped the situation however it has not stopped it completely. So here is my new way to attack and hopefully alleviate the problem.
The Prep:
*Detangle dry hair in small sections-my hair is best manipulated when dry. I have learned that the less I do when wet the less hair comes out.
*Gently scratch the scalp with a plastic comb to lift dandruff and to help stop itching-by wash day my head is itching like crazy.
*My prepoo treatment: Spray Seabreeze directly onto scalp wetting the hair as LESS as possible. Let marinate for 20-30minutes then rinse
*Poo #1: Use a "clarifying" shampoo-this will clear hair and scalp from any dandruff or debris like lint/build up of any kind. For me it takes 2 washes but you should wash, rinse then check your scalp in more than one "trouble" spots to be sure that there is nothing left behind. If you spot just one piece of debris them you need to wash again.
*Poo#2: Moisturizing shampoo-this poo will help restore the balance of oils, softness, and shine to your tresses. I use a moisturizing and detangling poo for this. (My recommend products are listed below) You can choose to was once or twice with this poo. Your hair should be softer and richer after you wash.
*Conditioner: If this is you week to deep condish then this would be the time to do so. A great way to repair damaged hair is to apply deep condish sit under dryer for 10 mins, apply another small amount without rinsing, back to the dryer for 10 mins and repeat one more time for a total of 30 mins under the dryer and 3 applications of condish. Tip: You can find some cheap conditioners on tje market today that would be great to use. However, deep condish is more costly. You could apply deep condish for the first application and some cheap condish for the other 2 times.
* If this is not deep condish day for you then apply a cheap condish let sit for10-20 mins with plastic cap and rinse then style. The end result is the picture below of my hair on day 4 of a Bantu Knot out still healthy looking and still NOT ITCHINg!!!
