How To Add Moisture Dry Or Frizzy Damaged Hair Holistic Hair Care Tips With Kris Of Charliecurls

Hi I'm Chris Aikens, and I want to tell you about the very best way to moisturize your hair. If your hair is dry, flyaway or frizzy, it's due to a lack of moisture in the individual hair strands now, hair strands have three basic layers and those three layers each like a different type of moisturizer, the inner core is called the medulla. That is the strength of the hair, it has a helical type structure like DNA and it likes an oil-based moisturizer. The second layer is called the cortex. That'S the thickest part of your hair strand kind of the meat of the hair and that likes a cream conditioner. The outside of the hair strain is called the cuticle that also likes a cream style conditioner, but it likes to be sealed with an oil so to moisturize your hair. You want to first get an oil soak into that medulla and there's two household oils that work well for this, because they have a small enough cellular structure to get through the cuticle through the cortex and all the way into that medulla. Those two oils are coconut oil and olive oil. Now there's other oils: Moroccan oil, jojoba argan. Those are great but they're, expensive and they're better used to crunch into your ends later in the process. But for the first thing soak your hair with oil. If you can leave that in 1012 hours to really let it saturate that's great, then when you go to rinse it out, get a goodly amount of shampoo lather it well massage it into your hair, then rinse it quickly with lukewarm water. This will wash out the excess oil without stripping the oil that you've so diligently put there into that core medulla then step two is to put a cream moisturizer on your hair. That will condition the cortex. It does two things: it conditions the cortex and it also seals the oil into the medulla, because this is a water based conditioner. Once you kept that in for a couple of hours, if you can maintain it, that long rinse that out and let your hair dry, naturally squeeze the water out of it, squeeze the water out with a towel. Do not rub through your hair up with the town when you're drying it, because that roughs up the cuticle just a simple combing of the hair and squeezing the water out, letting it dry. Naturally, your hair should be in way better condition. Now, two things. If you want to repeat this in about a week, that's a great idea. You can get some additional moisture in there, but after that, don't do this any more than every few months, because too much oil moisture into the hair can cause protein buildup. So oil, the medulla cream, conditioned the cortex and we're going to talk a little bit more about the complex cuticle in another video
