Today is hair washing day for my daughters. I always seize that opportunity to give them hands-on lessons on caring for their hair. Knowing how to properly apply products to natural hair is something that is often overlooked.  Even as a Youtube beauty content creator , I notice areas of hair lacking products when it is applied to the hair. Here is how I taught my daughters how to apply products. ALWAYS WORK IN SECTIONS Working in sections ensures that all strands of the hair gets the product. If you have thicker hair, this is essential because most of the time, if you just section your hair into four, and apply without further separating, you will find that overtime, some areas of your hair will not benefit from the hair treatment. START FROM THE ENDS When applying products, start working from the ends of the hair, and then apply towards the roots. This is because the ends of the hair are the most fragile parts.

Using Coffee Rinse on Natural Hair (Co Wash)

Image
Hair after Coffee Rinse The first time I tried Coffee Rinse was five days ago  when I did my weekly Shampoo Wash. Today, I decided to refresh my hair by doing my Cowash with Apple Cider Vinegar . Here are the steps I took to do it. Instead of using brewed coffee, I decided to try instant coffee to see if there was a difference. The coffee I tried was Nestle Classic Coffee. Ingredients are Coffee, Caramelized Sugar, and Artificial flavor. Why did I use instant coffee? Well, I wanted to see if there was a difference to using this versus brewed ground coffee. To see how I cowash my hair using Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar , watch this: After cowashing, I tend pour a cup of cooled coffee on my hair, waited about 5 minutes and then rinsed with water. I skipped deep conditioning this time, just to see how my hair would do. The difference this time was that my hair did not look as dark as it did when I used brewed coffee, however it still felt soft despite not using my deep co

Using Coffee Rinse on Natural Hair (Shampoo Wash)

I got some sample packs of @MopTopHair products from a #naturalhair show last year and decided to try them #MopTopHair . In addition, I tried COFFEE rinse for the first time. I will be doing coffee rinses once a week for the next 2 months to see how my hair reacts to it so that I can better advice others on the use. Coffee contains caffeine, which helps in blocking the effect DHT. DHT is known t o shorten the growth phase of your hair's cycle , causing excessive heading, hair loss, and balding. Consumption of coffee is not as effective as topical application. Caffeine in coffee can also help stimulate growth. I will share my results in a few months. Black tea also does the same thing.
