3 Tips for Healthier Hair
3. Get over your fear of using oil
Oil can be used on all hair types and using it should be in your regular hair regime. There’s a difference between using oil vs. grease on tresses. There are actually several lightweight oils that are lifesavers for protecting hair from damage or restoring damaged hair to a healthy state.
I love to pre-poo my hair by applying olive oil and letting it sit for 20 minutes (or overnight) to moisturize my hair and lock in some of the natural oils (that the scalp produces) that shampoo could strip from your hair. Moroccan oil and coconut oil are also favorites to use as heat protectant and lightweight shine serums. Remember don’t use too much. A little bit goes a long way.

Got a question, I sit under a table top dryer for my styles. I only blow dry when I’m getting my ends clipped every 4 or 5 months, yes this is appyling heat, but is it considered damaging?
I do that, too. I don’t consider that direct heat and I haven’t noticed a change in my curl pattern. My guess would be no.

Thanks :)
i’m gong to retry pre pooing. I tried in the past with coconut oil because everyone was recommedning it but it was before I realized my hair doesn’t care for coconut oil. I’ll try it again with EVOO…
I LOVE oils. I prepoo w/ them, condition w/them and cowash w/them too!
