Just tips....

1. Hats, Scarfs, Wigs

  • These are great protective styles, but remember to wear some type of silk material (scarf) beneath either of those to retain the moisture from our hair. Cotton and other materials seem to soak moisture out, and we NEED to keep as much moisture in our hair ladies!


2. Gels & Jams

  • Yes, it may be a little harder to hold those edges down - but don't pile the gel or jam on your hair! If you do use gel/jam just try to put enough oil, creme, water, or whatever moisturizing agent on your hair before applying the gel. Gel/jam drys your hair and soaks the moisture and oils from hair, so applying extra moisture before gel will help!

3. Stockings

  • Some people may think that this is a weird technique- but this is actually a great tip! Now, ladies..if the stocking (panty hose) smell like corn chips (do not act like yours don't after a matter of time haha!) then you may want to wash before placing on your head :). The technique is real easy - just cut a leg of the stocking (cut however wide you want, but the trick is to make it thin enough that it can not be seen but thick enough that it will not rip easily). This is better than those "ouchless" bands, because we all know they still have a place in the band that catches your hair.

4. DIY

  • Ladies, as I have stated in the previous post....Do-It-Yourself products can be a great way to save money and know what you are placing in your hair! Flax Seed is one of the products that I will be trying soon! Flax seed actually turns into a gel! You buy the flax seeds and boil until it becomes the gel like texture. You place in a container and add oils! Naptual85 on YouTube has a tutorial on this! But I will be making one as well :)
