What is Deep Moisture Method?


Deep Moisture Method (DMM) is a process of retaining moisture in hair.  This method involves dampening one's hair with water or mixture of water and conditioner, and applying a deep conditioner thoroughly to hair.  Lastly, sealing in the moisture with shea butter or castor oil. Finally, putting the hair in a protective style.

This method has been spreading wildly in the natural hair community. One person testifies to going from collar bone length to armpit length in 2 months, while another went from armpit length to mid back length also in 2 months.

I have never attempted this method before Have you?

    No I can not say I've tried this method in fact this is the first I've actually heard of it. As for myself I'm not really looking to gain much length just wanting to keeo my strands healthy. I Like my hair on the shorter side.

    I would also likely be concerned about using a DC and leaving it in my hair, thinking it may leave a bit of buildup. I normally just try at sticking to using a product as they are directed to be used. All though there are some DC's that say it can also be used as a leave in.

    I don't know I'm on this fence with this one. I can't wait to learn more about this method. Thanks for sharing for those who are new to this method like myself. Take care and enjoy your day.

      I always look forward to reading your comments. I love your train of thought. I know that Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque can be left in as a styler. I am also very leery about leaving in products that are not meant to be left in.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2.
