DAILY HAIRCARE

Start the day with a quick, gentle refresh.
I don’t restyle or manipulate my hair daily — I assess what it needs.

My daily check-in includes:

• Light smoothing with my hands
   
• Checking ends for dryness
   
• Ensuring my style still has shape
   
• Avoiding unnecessary brushing or combing
   
• Low manipulation is the foundation of healthy, mature hair.
  If it doesn’t need adjusting, I leave it alone.

If my hair looks or feels slightly dry, I add lightweight moisture only to the areas that need it.

My preferred options:

• A light oil to soften ends
   
• A small amount of leave-in conditioner
   
• Castor oil around the hairline (very sparingly)
   

Goal: hydrate without weighing the hair down.

Detangling is not a daily step — only when the hair actually needs it.

Tools I use:

• Tangle Teezer Ultimate Detangler
   
• UNBrush
   

My technique:

• Always on damp or conditioned hair
   
• Start at the ends and work upward
   
• Apply slip (oil or leave-in) to reduce friction
   
• Avoid tugging, yanking, or over-brushing
   

Gentle detangling preserves elasticity and prevents unnecessary breakage.

I style my hair in a way that lasts several days, reducing tension and preserving density.

My go-to styles:

• Low ponytail
   
• Low bun
   
• Loose two-braid style
   
• Half-up / half-down
   
• Soft styles that don’t pull at the roots
   

I avoid:

• Tight roots
   
• Daily restyling
   
• Constant heat
   
• Pulling or stretching the hair unnecessarily
   

This rhythm gives my hair time to “rest” and stay healthy between styling days.

Nighttime is where retention happens.

My nightly routine includes:

• Wearing a satin or silk bonnet
   
• Keeping styles loose and low-tension
   
• Protecting the hairline with gentle coverage
   
• Light castor oil massage on edges if needed
   
• No brushing or manipulation at night
   

This keeps the hair soft, moisturized, and intact while I sleep.

Internal support is personal and may vary based on individual needs, sensitivities, and medical guidance.

My daily wellness routine also supports healthy hair from within.

I use:

• Liquid collagen 
• Collagen powder in my Beauty Tea
•  Horsetail tea (silica for elasticity)
• Fenugreek tea (supports fullness + hydration)
• Zinc (nightly) 
• Vitamin D3 
• B-complex 
• Biotin (lipid-safe for my allergies) 
• Iron (only as medically needed) 
• NAC  
• Strong hydration throughout the day
   

These work together to support strong follicles, healthy growth cycles, and strand resilience.
