Wanna know how to retain that new growth? Moisture & protect! You think it can’t be that simple? Well it is, we’re sure the most asked question for every black lady is ” how do I grow my hair?”; yes, we know and we’ve been there…. If some of you are like some of us; you think women with long, thick hair get them cause someone in their family has long & thick (full) hair, hello sister please wake up!!!! The process of maintaining & grooming long, thick hair has been lost to the modern African society; like we always say it’s never too early or late to be #BONFIDENT. Here are easy steps for you to follow to retain length: 1. Healthy Scalp: use shampoos that prioritize scalp health and use stimulating oils on your scalp like rosemary and tea tree oil. 2. Treatments: use a weekly deep conditioning treatment, probably on Sundays or days you can really pay attention to your hair. During this process, take the time to gently and slowly detangle you hair to reduce breakage. You can also throw in the BUSKAM PROTEIN TREATMENT about once a month to strengthen your strands. If you like you can use a hydrating mask or deep conditioner like the BUSKAM DEEP CONDITIONER. 3. Lock That Moisture: After washing and conditioning, use the LCO method (leave-in conditioner, cream, and oil) to maintain moisture, which is important for natural hair length retention. The best type of leave-in conditioner is a water-based leave-in conditioner to penetrate your hair, and then follow up with BUSKAM PEPPERMINT BUTTER for a bit of definition . Finally, finish with the BUSKAM GROWTH OIL when your hair is dry to seal in moisture. 4. Refresh Your Hair: also refresh my hair with a water-based spray daily to keep your hair happy with the BUSKAM ROSEMARY HAIR MIST. 5. Protect Your Hair: yes, we know about the protective hair styles, but do you know that too much tension/stress on your hair will limit its growth? well now you now, so reduce the level of manipulation you put your hair through.
