Keeping Fresh SummerStyle
Biggest problem in the summer? Sweating your hair out! Yes you might be rocking protective styles but sweaty scalp equals funky hair and sometimes you just don't have time to shampoo and restyle! But fro love must continue! How do you combat funk and your fro? My cheat tool -baby wipes! Gentle enough for baby's bottom, gentle enough for your scalp! Cautionary notes:
1. Ensure that you use baby wipes vs antibacterial wipes - less alcohol. We want to refresh our scalp not dry it out.
2. When refreshing loose hair make parts and try not to rub wipes on hair but rather on your scalp. When refreshing hair in braids/twists/plaits/locks aim for your parts and do not disrupt your sections.
3. Allow hair to air dry or you may use a blow dryer on low heat with or without a diffuser. Damp hair = funky hair-let it dry! Once 80%-90% dry massage a light oil on scalp e.g. jojoba oil, olive oil or tea tree oil in your fave carrier oil.
* To really top off your refresher routine spray hair (not scalp) with a light leave-in conditioner or an at home concoction of water and rose petals.Lock Good, Feel Good
