*Here's a few products that you can use! Always, do your research behind every product. Before buying to be sure that this is a product, you'll like to try on your hair! Always, remember once you find something, that you and your hair like stick to it. Everything comes with trial and error. When we are looking for the RIGHT products for our hair.
Also remember moisturizers rich in emollients like shea butter or coconut oil, and humectants: (during the summer) that attract and hold moisture are the best options for low porous hair.
Remember you'll want to select lighter, liquid based products and oils such as hair milks, grapeseed, sweet almond,
argan or jojoba oil, that won't leave hair too oily or greasy.
Always remember once you find the products. That works well on your hair, always stick to them to keep your hair healthy.
In the winter avoid humectants during the winter months.
Only do protein treatments if you actually need it! Always look for ingredients that has silk, wheat and hydrolyzed proteins.
Also remember to look for water based/liquid moisturizer products. They work better for low porous hair.
Always avoid heavy styling products (keep them light and not heavy).
When you deep conditioning treatments use heat! The heat will help open up the cuticles and make deep conditioning more effective.
Also rinse your hair with warm water after deep conditioning. This help prevents the cuticles from closing, so you'll be able to follow up with a moisturizer or leave in that will help penetrate the hair shaft.
You can also warm your conditioner! (don't mean put in the microwave!!! Just soak the bottle of conditioner in warm water to warm it up a little). This will help your hair absorb the conditioner easier. And eliminate any white residue/flakes from your conditioner. This will help hydrate your hair effectively!
You can do ACV rinse as well.
Hot oil treatment with any oil that was mention. Or do a mixture of oils.
