Tips for Soft Natural Hair

A big concern among people with natural hair is how to make their hair soft and less brittle so I've created some tips to help those in need. 

1. Keep hair hydrated

  Drinking water is a good start for soft hair. Moisturizing your hair from the inside out prevents breakage and keeps it from getting brittle.

2. Use natural rinses for your hair 

Apple Cider Vinegar is great rinse for your hair because it's conditioning and is a germ killer. 

3. Deep Condition

Deep Conditioning is a great way to keep hair soft and healthy hair. It helps hair retain moisture and also helps with detangling to prevent breakage. 


Keeping hair healthy is a necessity but maintaining soft tresses keeps you and your hair happy. 

5 Healthy Foods for Natural Hair

Natural Hair is only affected by the products you use but also by what you put in your body. Here are some foods that you could incorporate into your daily diet resulting in amazing natural hair. 

1. Carrots 

  

Carrots are a great source of Vitamin A which promotes a healthy scalp with results in naturally shiny hair.

2. Eggs

Eggs are full on proteins which gives your hair strength. They also have Biotin which helps with  growth.

3. Nuts 

Nuts such as brazil nuts, walnuts, cashews , pecans and almonds have zinc and omega-3 fatty acids which result in thick , strong hair. 

4. Whole Grains 

Whole Grains in your breads, pastas and rice are full of B-Vitamins that give you overall shine and strength. 

5. Salmon 

Fish such as salmon are full of iron and fatty acids which help with growth and shine. 

An overall balanced diet is a great route on the journey to healthy hair.

Shealoe

 What is Shealoe?

Shealoe is simply a mix of Shea Butter and Aloe.

Shea Butter is GREAT  for moisturizing hair since it is an emulsified product ( a mix of water and oil; a creamy product). 

Aloe is also an amazing hair moisturizer,detangling, & scalp healing. 

How to make Shealoe:

First go to any local beauty supply in your area and get some unrefined shea butter. Unrefined is better since it is all natural and has no added chemicals. I would recommend the brand of Aloe Vera Gel pictured above since that is the brand i use. 

Next, All you have to do is find a small container and mix the Shea Butter and Aloe Vera till you get a consistency you like. 

Finally you can use this Shealoe for not only hair but for your face and body as well.

You can also add some essential oils such as Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, or Castor Oil. 

Shea Butter alone is a great all-natural moisturizer. Combined with Aloe Vera Gel it's softer and easier to work with. It can serve as a creamy moisturizer &/or styling product. I hope this article was helpful in your natural hair journey. :)
