High Moisture Content Products

Dear Kenya,

My hair is very dry and brittle what should I use? Also, my twist never
have definition what can I use while twisting my hair.

Thank you,
Tamara


Hi Tamara,

Sounds like you need products with a higher moisture content. With very
dry hair I like to use Moisture Retention Shampoo and Express Conditioner.
Both of these products are by Design Essentials. You should also be
doing a steam treatment each time you shampoo. After you have applied the
conditioner thoroughly from root to tip on every single strand, sit under
a hooded steamer. If you do not want to invest in a hair steamer you can
cover your conditioned hair with a plastic cap and cover the cap with a
hot wet towel for about 15-20 minutes. This process will help to really
push that moisture into the hair shaft. These tips should also help with
the definition of your hair over time.

When you twist your hair, try using a setting/wrap foam. There are a few
out there with no alcohol that will help you get more definition. I like
Jane Carter Solutions wrap foam and Design Essentials Compositions. When
you apply these products make sure you are using enough. You should
saturate each section of hair with the wrap foam as you twist. Once they
are dry you can apply a moisturizer daily like Jane Carter Solution
Nourish and Shine or your product of choice.

I hope these tips help you. Please let me know if you have any other
questions. Thanks a bunch!
