Can I Use Natural
Hair Care Products if My Hair is Relaxed?
Yes. If you are relaxing your hair,
you are already stripping it of moisture and protein. You should
not add to this by using shampoos and conditioners that will also
strip and dry the hair out. You should be using a gentle, sulfate
free shampoo like our Essentious Exonerate. You should also keep
your moisture content up by using our moisturizing Essentious Rejuvenate
condtioner. In addition to this, you should use Organic Virgin Coconut
Oil to rebuild moisture and prevent protein loss from the hair.

study about the effectiveness of coconut oil when used on the hair.
Will
your sulfate free shampoo clean my hair? Yes, our
shampoo uses organically-based emulsifiers with a base of Aloe Vera
gel, taking advantage of its renown for healing and moisturizing.
It has a rich lather and a light, refreshing scent from pure essential
oils.
Will these
products make my hair grow faster? Yes
and No. Our products are gentle, and build moisture. This will reduce
breakage associated with dryness and damage. The fact that your
hair is breaking less, will make it seem to grow faster. However,
it does not actually increase the hair growth rate. If you are looking
for something that will speed your hair growth rate up, try HairFinity
Hair Vitamins. These vitamins can double your hair growth rate.
How should
I use the products? Do I need to
wash a certain number of times per month, etc.? It is best to wash
African American Hair once weekly. You can build a hair care regimen

protein treatment.
What should
I use as a natural daily moisturizer?
Organic, Virgin coconut oil can be used as a daily moisturizer.
It is the only oil that actually penetrates the hair shaft and actually
moisturizes the hair from within. Consistent use of coconut oil
will also reduce protein loss during relaxers.other common ingredient
in many hair care products is mineral oil. Read
this study about mineral oil used on the hair.
