3 Best Ways To Keep Your Natural Hair Moisturized
sSo for me, it’s “What’s the best way to keep your hair moisturized?” I feel like all of my clients say they moisturize their hair, but a few hours later it feels as if they never put anything on it. So, let’s first start with the shampoo…
You need a SUPER moisturizing shampoo or no shampoo at all!
. What, sis? No shampoo? Girl, I need to clean my scalp, that’s nasty. Wait, wait...you can still clean your hair without shampoo technically...USE A CO-WASH! What is a co-wash? Co-washing is simply washing your hair with conditioner only. It removes dirt and impurities without stripping your hair of its natural oils or a.k.a. (MOISTURE). It’s sulfate free and color safe. Pure. Simple. Natural. No parabens, no sulfates.
What is the most moisturizing shampoo I’ve ever
used ?

NOT, just a conditioner.
. All conditioners are not created equal. I recommend ditching your normal conditioner and getting a MASK. No, not the one you put over your face, but one that is used as a hair treatment. Most have heard of a mask only when used in the salon as a luxury hair treatment, but did you know you can use a mask at home on a regular basis? But, why? Why would I use a mask over a conditioner? What is the difference? A mask is more concentrated with oil and will hydrate the hair more effectively. Whereas some conditioners only penetrate the cuticle layer of the hair strand, hair masks penetrate the actual cortex of the hair strand, moisturizing from the inside out.
The L-O-C Method
. After you have cleaned and conditioned your hair, what’s next? Hit your dry tresses with the triple moisture punch (leave-in, oil, and cream). Before you style, start with a great leave-in conditioner. My favorite is “It's a 10.” You know how you normally hear people say you have to use it a few times before you see the results...NOT THIS TIME…your hair will immediately feel soft and moisturized as soon as you spray “It's a 10” on your hair. Ok, the next step is to apply your Coleman Hair Company Botanical Oil right over the leave-in conditioner. Lastly, you “loc” in the moisture by finishing off the routine with your favorite cream moisturizer. I recommend Design Essentials Moisture Soufflé. All 3 products are included and available for purchase online in our Covid Moisture Survival Kit.
What is the BEST oil to use to moisturize natural hair?
So, I have a question for you first? What is the best vitamin to take? Vitamin A, Vitamin C, or Biotin? The answer should be all! All of them help different systems in the body, but all are equally important. Hence why we take a multivitamin, to target and improve the health of the entire body. Well, it’s the exact same thing for your hair...the answer is a botanical oil. I use the botanical growth oil by Coleman Hair Company with 10 of the most beneficial oils for hair and scalp health. Our oil is all natural and has no additives. It stimulates hair follicles that promote growth and provides relief from itchy scalp.

SHOULD I GET A WIG?
Should I get a wig?
OK, so here’s the truth about wigs. So first off, the fact that you can be looking completely crazy, put a wig on, and look absolutely amazing in under a minute is magic all by itself. But let’s talk about what you really want to know.
Here are the top most frequently asked questions about wigs:
Are wigs hot on your head?
So, from what I hear from clients, wigs are not hot. They are made with either a thin cloth material or a thin mesh material that does a really great job with airflow.
Are wigs heavy on your head?
Most wigs are not heavy, because not exceeding a density percent of more than 250, maintains the overall natural look and feel of the wig. Density is the measurement of hairs per square inch or “fullness” of the wig.
How does it stay on my head?
All of our wigs are made with two adjustable bands and several combs. Wigs can be adjusted to fit small to large sizes ranging from a circumference of 21” to 23”. The main wig band is a stretchable elastic band with three sets of metal prongs to create a customized fit. Each wig also comes with a free wig grip to protect edges and hold the wig in place.
What if I have no idea how to style, customize or maintain my wig?
So, Coleman Hair Company is the only black owned luxury wig company out there who makes true “Ready to Wear” wigs.

How long do wigs last?
Forever! No, but seriously, definitely for years with proper storage and care.
Do wigs cause your hair to break or increase hair growth? Is it a good protective style?
Wigs are absolutely the best protective style ever! You get to look stunning all day, then when you get home take your wig off and let your tresses breathe. Having a protective style you can remove nightly not only lets your scalp breath, but allows you to still treat your hair, oil your scalp, and maintain overall healthy hair.
