Over the past 4 years I learned the easy and hard way to keep my hair healthy. I come across girls all the time who either are natural or are going natural and they want to know "how can I get my twist out like yours or how can I keep my hair moisturized?" When the trick is to do what works for you. You can watch YouTube videos all day but until you find the products and techniques that work for you, you'll always be in search for something new. So here are a few tips for growing and maintaining healthy hair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>1. Get to know your hair - </b>This is very important because in order to know how your hair will react to certain products you should know your hair like the back of your hand. For example I know my hair and scalp get very dry during the week, so I make sure every 2-3 days I'm applying water, oil or a leave in to my hair to keep it refreshed and moisturized. My hair loves heavy oils, so I use oils such as olive and argan to keep my hair moisturized.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>2. Have a rock solid regimen</b>-  My wash day regimen has been the same for about a year now, the only changes I've made is not sectioning my hair while washing because it just takes too long (i'm talking 40 minutes- 1 hour in the shower). But other than that my hair works very well with my regimen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>3. Moisture, Moisture, Moisture </b>- Water is your best friend and the best moisturizer you can use. Carry a small spray bottle of water in your purse so that if you're out during the day and your hair is feeling dry you can do a quick spritz and keep your day going. Also invest in a GOOD leave in conditioner, I have some recommendations below. I have tried all 3 of these products and my hair absolutely loves them.</div>

<b>4. Technique is key</b> - This is so imperative to styling your hair because everything is in the technique. At one point I thought it was my lengthen that kept me from having a bomb braid out, twist out and flexi rod set but it was really my technique. There is so many different ways to do a twist out, so I literally tried every way possible until I found the technique that worked for me. It's trail and error and once you find your technique stick with it and you'll love it.<br />
<br />
<b>5.Sleep with a satin pillow case or scarf</b> - To prevent any damage while sleeping, you want to protect your hair with a satin scarf or pillow case, I use both because I am a crazy sleeper and just in case one comes off I'll still be covered.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Protect those ends</b> - There's nothing worst than split ends, trust me i'm currently dealing with it and I had to learn the hard way. If you don't treat them soon, the entire strand can split :-( . I'm not saying go crazy and get a trim every month, especially if your goal is to retain length. However, if you see your ends getting wispy just lightly dust your ends with clean hair shears. Also protective styles are a good way to keep those ends from getting any further damage and make sure you keep your HANDS OUT OF YOUR HAIR!<br />
<br />
<b>7.Time - </b>I know everyone's ultimate goal is waist length hair but it wont happen over night. Be patient and focus on healthy hair care and don't even think or worry about growth. And soon you'll be in the mirror saying "dang my hair got long." That's what happened to me!<br />
<br />
I hope these tips work for you,  if you have any questions comment below!<br />

Ok so last week I took a late night trip to super Walmart, in hopes of finding a good moisturizer for my hair. My usual pickup would have been any Shea Moisture product but I think lately my hair has gotten really use to Shea Moisture products and they haven't been working as great as they use to. So I wanted to try something new and I decided to try the AS I AM Double butter cream, I've tried the coconut co wash before and loved it, therefore I had high hopes for this product. *DISCLAIMER* I am not being paid to do this review, this is my honest opinion and I brought these products with my own money. </div>

 My hair absolutely loves the Coconut Cowash it makes my hair super soft and smooth. This is by far the best cowash I have ever tried and this may be my new staple product. I use this about once a week when I don't want to shampoo and my hair just soaks up the goodness and feels amazing. I also use it as a deep conditioner sometimes.</div>

The Double butter cream is suppose to be a daily moisturizer that locks in moisture, rehydrates dry, dull hair and makes your curls more manageable. Some of its main ingredients are Shea butter, coco butter, castor oil, sweet almond oil, and sugar beet root, just to name a few. All of these ingredients definitely make for a great moisturizer. </div>

Overall I would give this product an A++++++!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It does wonders to my hair, my hair has never been so soft, shiny and moisturized and it smells divine. I use the double butter about 3 - 4 times a week, not daily because I don't want to overwhelm my hair with too much product. So every night I twist my hair in medium sized twists. I spray a little bit of water to my ends and apply a dime sized amount of the butter cream to my ends and work it up my hair and twist it. My twist are nice a shiny and in the morning my hair feels amazing. I would absolutely buy this butter cream over and over again. </div>
