How I Currently Moisturize and Seal

This is a updated tutorial on how I moisturize and seal. Right now I use Elasta Qp Olive Oil and Mango Butter and Seal with Coconut Oil. When I protective style I do this every night. So this is also my night time routine. You know I keep it simple.

Why is moisturizing and sealing important. Well the first reason is obvious. The main reason black women or women with tightly coiled hair can not retain length is lack of moisture. When you moisturize your adding moisture to your hair. When you apply your oil after your moisturizer the oil acts as a barrier keeping the moisture locked in.

Hi Traycee! I have a question. I want to renew my kiss membership, but I see that I can only purchase with a creditcard. I don't have a credit card. Is it possible to pay with a debit card?

I've tried it with paypal but I dont see the debit card option. I don't live in the US. Could that have something to do with it?

Hi, Gotta question....So about a month ago I transitioned from natural back to relaxers.I was natural for about a 1yr and then I started to get bored with my hair and I dyed it....I loved the color, but I wanted something else so I decided get it cut into a side mohawk. After the "New cut" I was loving it, it was something new for me and out of my comfort zone, but slowly I started to regret the hair cut, because of the fact that I could only wear it one way. To make an already long story shorter....Got tired of that and just decided I'll go back to relaxers now that I know how to care for my hair properly....But for the past 2weeks my hair has been like coming out :( some strands break off and other strands I notice come out by the root, I don't know what's going on or what to do. I've been doing protein treatments, I'm always deep conditioning. I keep telling myself it's just the transtion I made from Natural to Relaxed, but I don't know. Do you have any advice or tips that might help?

Hi, i have got a question... or an s.o.s! 2 months ago, i relaxed my hair after a 4-month relaxer stretch as i have soft hair. i decided to start a healthy hair regimen of moisturizing and sealing but from all the good things I've heard about that, i am not sure it is doing my hair much good. my hair has become stretchy and very weak and breaks much more than it used to. i braided about a month ago after a 3-week moisturizing and sealing routine, using satin bonnets, shea butter, leave-in conditioner, etc.
okay, to my question, what am i doing wrong, 2nd, i just moved to the UK and will have to take the braids out soon. what products would be good for the weather and what regimen will be best to adopt now. Thank you.
