How to Take Care of Dyed Hair: Do's and Dont's Before Dying Natural Hair

The very nature of how color works has the ability to break of your hair .
Color works by forcing your hair cuticles open and depositiong color . This weakens the hair shaft and affecting your hair porosity
Once you understand that then now you can troubleshoot the issues that arise nely weak hair ,dryness and breakage .

1. Before you color its good to do a light protein treatment to boost the strength pf your hair at least a week in advance .
2. A day before dye application apply a generous amount of coconut oil to the hair since its a penetrating oil and binds protein to hair . It will also
protect from excessive processing of color . And adds to the richness of color
3. After dyeing its recommended to skip shampoo and opt for cowashing instead and follow up with deep conditioning
4. A few days after dye process do another protein treatment to restore strength .
5. As i mentioned above color affects porosity this means hair will be dryer and therefore more prone to breakage . So you need to deep condition at least weekly to keep moisture levels up .
Also you need to moisturize daily even upto 2 times a day and i have noticed i have had to do LOC method more than the once a week i would do it . Now i have to do it 2 times a week with color .

There is a difference btn color and dye..dye is temporary and color is permanent
.you can get away with dye but with color you have to wash with a neutralizing shampoo to stop the process.if you don't.. Color nikama relaxer its process will continue thus causing hair breakage...that's where most people go wrong. Another reason why hair cuts...dye blocks hair pores lowering its porosity thus breakage happens that's why a moisturizer treatment is given as a rule...do it..no excuses...color rips off the hair melanin...imagine our hair is deeeeeep black...how much will the hair melanin be broken to achieve a fair color....treatment.. Treatment!!!?? Treatment!!!!! Is a must rule!!!!

Castor Oil Hair Growth Challenge

The castor oil challenge is really for the scalp more so than for the hair, but we all know (or should know) that healthy hair is impossible without a healthy scalp. You are, in essence, using castor oil to "grease", or treat/condition the scalp. This castor oil conditioning of the scalp should help with dandruff and dry, itchy scalp. It should also help with hair growth and hair thickness. Castor oil can either be used alone or mixed with another oil, such as a carrier oil.

The challenge will be for 90 days or three months.

Natural Hair Care Regime for Beginners

1)Pre-poo: The conditioning process before shampooing I find works well especially on transitioning hair, hair that is found to be too dry, on hair that is in dry conditions such as winter climates or excessive air condition environments, just plain damaged hair, or hair that has been stripped and dyed.

Pre-poos of choice : an oil pre poo can be done using one carrier oil of choice or a mix of carrier oils and essential oils. Popular oils of choice include extra virgin olive oil, jojoba oil, extra virgin coconut oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, castor oil, avocado oil, lavender essential oil, peppermint essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, and t-tree essential oil.
Conditioner prepoos include the use of a conditioner be it a cheap rinse out conditioner or a deep conditioner mixed with oils. Egs, Queen Helene cholesterol, organics cholesterol.
And then you can use natural ingredients and make your pre poo. One of my all time favourites is the coconut yogurt pre poo: 4 oz of plain yogurt, 2 tbsps of coconut cream, 1 1/2 tbsp of extra virgin coconut oil and 1/2 tbsp of avocado or grapeseed or olive oil. mix all together and apply on dry hair, cover with a shower cap for 1 hour or more. 
These prepoos can be left in the hair anywhere from 1 hour to half day and even over night and they condition the hair so that when you shampoo the hair the shampoo takes out the excess oils and conditioners and leaves your natural oils so that the hair is not stripped and left dry.

2)Shampoos: For regular shampoo sessions you would want to use a sulphate free shampoo but once a month or once every 6 weeks please please please clarify your hair to thoroughly with a clarifying shampoo remove product build up and mineral deposits from your pool water or regular tap water. Good sulphate free shampoo, One n only argan oil sulphate free shampoo, Herbal essence has a great clarifying shampoo as well and the Organic Roots stimulator creamy aloe shampoo is a chelating shampoo that works on a deep level than the normal clarifying shampoos and removes everything.

3) Rinse out Conditioners: these 3 minute conditioners do not add anything to your hair they dont add nutrients nothing they are basically acidifiers that work to smooth your hair cuticles and easy the detangling process so naturals especially should not detangle on dry hair but when the hair has been fully saturated with conditioner and divided into sections. My favourite ones: Aussie moist and Aussie cleanse and mend, Tresemme naturals and curl hydration, Herbal essence Hello hydration.

4)Protein Treatments: These work to strengthen the internal structure of the hair shaft however they leave the hair feeling hard, most times and brittle. The must immediately be followed by a deep moisturising treatment to bring back elasticity to the hair and prevent the hair from becoming brittle and breaking.  Some good choices of protein treatments are: IC Fanatasia Reconstructor, One n only argan oil restorative mask, Hair Chemist Macadamia oil Deep Recovery hair masque.

5)Deep Moisturising Conditioning Treatment: As explained above they are ti be used after a protein treatment but also can be used when you dont have to do a protein treatment to nourish and moisturise the hair as needed. Some great choices includes: Neutrogena Triple Moisture deep recovery hair mask, one n only hydrating hair mask, IC Fanatasia deep moisturising treatment.
After this washing process it is best to use a clean old t-shirt to absorb the excess water as the normal terry towels aid in the development of frizz. Spritz the hair after with a mixture of glycerine and rosewater, or glycerin and distilled water, as you progress you may desire to add some of your leave in conditioner to this or even a tsp of carrier oil as well...your choice just make sire when you do you use it out in a week of add a preservative.

6)Leave In Conditioners: These are used to moisturise the hair and the first ingredient on any good conditioner or moisturiser must be water or aloe vera juice. OILS AND BUTTER OR OIL AND BUTTER MIXES DO NOT AND CANNOT MOISTURISE. Water moisturises some oils can penetrate the hair to aid in moisture retention but not properly moisturise. Some good ones: African Pride Olive miracle or shea moisture leave in, Parneavu t-tree growth creme, Soft sheen carson daily humectant lotion and finishing lotion, beautiful textures leave ins, kinky curly knot today, Giovanni direct leave in.
After this step you should seal in the moisture with a carrier oil or a little bit of butter.
