My Moisturizing and Sealing Routine for Harmattan (2017)

By
It's just fair that this dry weather is met with serious moisturizing and sealing routine. Moisturizing has to do with using a water based product and sealing is done with oils or butters. I follow the liquid, cream, oil routine (L.C.O) as I find that to be a better option during this harmattan weather.
To effectively moisturize your hair, you definitely need to apply moisture first. Using oil first is like wearing your trousers before your underwear. You block out any moisture loss when you seal with oil that us why you need the water first before sealing. 

For each month of 2017, my moisturizimg and sealing will be planned for the month for effective routine.

For January, I planned my hair routine ahead of time to reduce the amount of time spent on organizing my thoughts Lol.


  1. Spray the hair with rose water 

  2. Apply a bit of Mielle organics avocado hair milk

  3. Seal with my oil mix. 



 I do this at night because my morning schedule is whack! I try to sleep with a bonnet to maintain the moisture. In the morning, I simply scoop the hair into a bun. This routine is done daily for maximum moisture retention. 

I take my hair supplements at lunch time and that ensures consistency in my routine each day.

On Wednesdays, I plan to co wash for extra moisture. Don't you love it when your hair is long enough to bun even with all its shrinkage?

Hibiscus Rinse + Wash Day

By

During the week, I prepared hibiscus infused in water and rinsed the hair with it. My hair, immediately, became extremely hydrated and soft. 
For the wash day, I deced to prepoo with aloe Vera oil using adyeam cap. 

It's been a while since I did this! I shampooed and condtioned and air dried. 
The only part that excites me is the front hair is gradually getting long enough to hide the damage done by the braids and weaves I wore; the edges would be less visible. 
**I'm actually 6 weeks post ** I have about 2 weeks to go before next relaxer and I'm just counting down to seeing the length I gain. I'm trusting the nature's bounty vitamin to keep working like this.

How To Use Chebe Powder and Oil On Relaxed Hair

By

In case you have relaxed hair and wondering if you can use chebe powder the answer is a yes.




All you need is to be able to plait your hair or twist up. You can also use cornrows.
To prepare the chebe mixture, add a few tablespoon full to a creamy product. I usually recommend your moisturizer or butter for a good hold.

Shampoo and condition your hair well and apply the chebe mixture. Plait up the hair and leave it for at least 7 days before reapplying the chebe mixture.

When you are ready to wash out, which could be in a month or whenever you want, just shampoo the hair and condition as usual.

You can use the mixture again for another couple of weeks.

In case you need chebe powder or chebe oil, call or whatsapp 0541458372.
