When I was growing up, I remember wishing I could have healthy, long hair. I wanted to figure out how I could make my hair super healthy. Healthy hair doesn't just depend on what you use on it, but even more importantly is what you choose to put in your mouth. The nutrients & hydration you get make a huge difference. I can give you tips and information on what I do but always listen to what your own body needs. I'm going to categorize what I do physically on the outside external & then internal to make it more simplified.

External... *First thing in the morning, I tip my head down and massage my whole scalp and all along my hair line with my fingertips and heels of hands. When I brush my hair, I start from the ends up, to lessen any breakage.  I do tip my head down and brush from the back of the scalp down to the ends, flip up and brush again right side up, from scalp to ends. Brushing also cleans your scalp and a clean scalp allows your hair to grow healthier.

*When I wash my hair I really massage the shampoo in good with my fingertips on every part of my scalp. Always washing at least twice. Only purposely putting the shampoo on my scalp area as I don't want to dry my hair out. 

*I do a deep hair treatment with my regular conditioner once a week with my regular conditioner & leave it on for at least 5 minutes. After I wash my hair, not purposely putting shampoo anywhere but where my scalp is as to not dry my hair out. 

*Once or twice a month I do a deeper longer treatment, leaving it on as long as I can. Batana oil and a few drops each of peppermint & rosemary essential oil. Massage into hair and scalp. Leave on at least an hour, longer if you can. Wash your hair... it takes me 4-5 washes to get it out. Then I do my conditioner from the bottom of my scalp to the ends of my hair, avoiding the hair closest to my scalp as it gets more moisture naturally.

OR with this deep treatment... (If you have a lot of hair like me, you may need to double or triple this)

2 TBS jojoba oil 

1 TBS argan oil 

1 TBS coconut oil or avocado oil 

1 TBS raw honey 

2 TBS aloe vera gel 

1 tsp castor oil 

4 drops rosemary essential oil 2-3 drops peppermint essential oil 

Mix, massage into hair & scalp...leave on at least an hour and longer if you can. Wash your hair... it takes me 4-5 washes to get it out. Then I do my conditioner from the bottom of my scalp to the ends of my hair.

*I get my hair trimmed every three to four months. I rarely use a blow dryer or any heat on my hair. The curls in the picture on the left above were done by no heat curls. If I use a blow dryer, I use a Bioionic. For a limited time you can go to this link for 30% off.  http://rwrd.io/_LVIT4R1?s 

*Any time I feel my hair needs some extra moisture, I spray rose water on it. I use a lot of rose water and buy it by the gallon and refill my bottles.
