Building a Hair Regimen

When starting a regimen there are a few important things your want to take into consideration. First, the state of your hair, is it dry, limp, dull looking, or suffering from breakage. By understanding the state of your hair, you can build a regimen around thoose issues to help restore your hair to a healthier state, and maintain it.

Next you need to understand your texture. You don't have to run to a hair typing chart, it's not that invovled. However, certain products may work better for certain hair types, if you have thicker hair versus finer hair, a thicker more moisutrizing butter/moisturizer is necessary in order to allow your thick coily tresses to recieve the correct amount of moisture it needs. If you have fine hair, overly thick products may weigh your hair down, or cause it to become to gressy, which inveitably causes your curls to not pop at all, but just look limp and stringy.

When building your regimen, the first thing you need to do is NOT to go out and buy a plethura of products, don't become a product junkie... like me! Stick to what you know, and write it all down.

Here are your basic categories:

• Shampoo

• Conditioner

• Deep conditioner

• Leave in

• Sealer (usually an oil or butter)

• Styler

Once you have all theese categories listed. Look up your products, read up on the ingredients within them, and really begin to analyze how each product affects your hair. Right after you shampoo... does your hair feel clean, moisturized, stripped, dry? When you condition/ deep condition, does the product just sit on your hair, does it penetrate, and make it feel soft and moisturized,or stregnthen, Even after your wash it out? Can you detangle? How about your leave in conditioner, is it oily, gresy, drying, does it even work? Really begin to learn your hair, and listen, and watch. See if your hair is shedding excessively, or is it supseptable to breakge easily. Once you begin to pinpoint certain areas of your regimen, then begin to do research on your products. If your shampoo seems "crappy" look up the ingredients, see what may be in it that is causing your hair to feel that way. Is it sulfates... if so try to buy one that doesn't contain that ingredient. Then move on to the next problem area Of your regimen.

By trying this method, you save yourself so much money! It may not even be the products your using, but the teniques you use when working with your hair. Till next time.

Happy Healthy Hair Journey,
