Can Dry & Brittle Hair Be Restored?
Let’s revisit Curlie’s story of dry and brittle hair and explore essential tips for prevention and maintenance to keep your hair looking and feeling its best.
Part 3: Restoring My Hair
I realized that I had been putting too much pressure on my products alone to fix my hair, thinking that just using Moisture Love would be enough. But I needed to step up my hair care routine. I started treating my hair with the same love and attention I gave to the rest of my self-care. Every other night, I took my hair out of its braids or ponytails, mixed Moisture Love’s leave-in conditioner with oil, and gently pulled it through my hair. This helped me remove shed hair without damaging it. Every three days, I applied cream from root to tip, ensuring my hair stayed hydrated. I also took my hair into the sauna and steam room, allowing the moisture to penetrate deeply. After a month or two of this routine, I began to see my hair coming back to life. Its curl pattern, moisture, and vibrancy were returning. This journey taught me that no product can do the heavy lifting alone. I had to create a routine that worked with my hair’s needs, set intentions for its restoration, and prioritize its health over beauty. I also reduced the use of artificial hair extensions, opting for natural protective styles that let my hair breathe and stay moisturized. Through patience, intention, and extra care, my hair is finally bouncing back, and I hope my story can help others, too.
Your hair's health depends on your diet and hydration. Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals.
Switch to satin or silk pillowcases to prevent breakage. Healthy hair reflects your overall well-being. Take preventive measures and care for your hair consistently. Follow the steps Curlie did:
Step 1 Washing: Use sulfate-free shampoos to maintain your hair’s natural oils.
Step 2 Conditioning: Always follow up with a conditioner, focusing on the ends.
Step 3 Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle damp hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to minimize breakage.
Preventive measures and consistent care are essential for maintaining healthy hair. By adopting these habits, you can keep your hair hydrated, strong, and less prone to damage. From regular trims and protective styling to a balanced diet and proper hair care techniques, every step you take contributes to the long-term health of your hair.
Know this: Moisture Love is truly the best product for hydration, but it may require a bit more effort and love on your part to bring your hair to its fullest potential!
