Hair Care Tips
Okay, so I found out the hard way on how to take care of my hair since being deployed.I am doing my tour in Afghanistan. So I've learned that the water here is very hard and drying which can be a pain in the butt if you have naturally thick,coarse hair and are trying to retain length, and let your hair grow!!!
My routine is pretty simple:
Wash/Condition with Loreal EverCreme Sulfate-Free Moisture System (love this!) 1x/week
Unless I feel the need to wash again , and my hair feels very dry!!!
I found this for free at the Chapel Mart here and it works & smells soo good and leaves my hair very soft.
Moisturize with Shea Moisture moisturizer and Raw African Shea Butter and seal with Jojoba oil.(Shea butter and jojoba oil can be found at Amazon(dot)com)
Here are all the products that I've found to help my hair since being here.But most I also use when I'm home.I think the Jojoba oil has really helped my hair it leaves it super soft and moisturized and in the morning I just wet my hair with a water bottle and add some African Pride Olive Miracle moisturizer to keep it soft throughout the day.
Hopefully this will keep my hair from breaking and I'll retain my hair length !
I did not bring any heat styling products because for one I didn't want to carry it and risk breaking it and two I didn't know if I would have the time to straighten/blow dry my hair.But to my surprise alot of women did bring heat tools.
On another not my hair texture is 3b-3c, so if you have the same type of hair these products might work for you. I've been natural for 4 years and I am biracial.
I've also been struggling with how to wear my hair, all the military ladies I'm sure can relate.Because the bun gets pretty boring!!!
What products work best for your hair to keep in moisture?
What are some other cute protective styles for women in the military?
