What do you do to get great results?
You should start with a clean scalp to open the pores and enhance the absorption of nutrients. And use shampoos that contain black seed, lemon and henna to clean the hair without drying it, and when washing the hair, you must make sure that the scalp is clean to allow the oils to penetrate deeply and deal with various hair problems.
Whether you choose to blow-dry or blow-dry, you need to make sure the hair is at least 80% dry to start the “Hair Slugging” process, and the oil must be distributed over the hair and seep into the scalp as well.
Use a generous amount of hair oil, and it is better to wash it well in the morning. The hair must be carefully massaged into each strand of hair, to ensure that the oil reaches each of them to maintain the health of the hair as a whole.
The last step is to wrap and cover the hair with a piece of cloth before going to sleep, and you will feel the difference in the texture and condition of the hair when you wake up the next day. Washing the hair with lukewarm water is a necessary step to remove the remaining oil, and do not forget to finish washing with cold water to clean the follicles.
While oiling hair before bed has many benefits, the products you use can make the difference, and it is advised to avoid using products that contain chemicals, as they can penetrate into the scalp during the process of applying oil to the hair before bed. Therefore, choosing natural, time-tested ingredients is the best way to effectively and gentle hair care for your hair.
