Properly caring for your hair should be your priority over the style.  The first step to caring for your hair is shampooing.  You should always shampoo your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo.  This shampoo is free of alcohol, therefore allowing the hair to retain moisture and not feel dry and hard.  The shampoo should be followed by a good moisturizing conditioner and then a spray, leave-in conditioner.  ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS secure your hair at night with a silk scarf or bonnet.  If for some reason you are not a scarf or bonnet user,  a silk/satin pillow case will be your best option.  Using silk/satin will reduce the dryness and breakage of your hair caused by cotton scarfs and pillow cases.​

Why our hair needs steam

1. Opening of the pores: Clogged pores in the scalp slow down--and eventually stop--the regrowth process. Steaming the hair and scalp on a regular basis will allow the toxins from the scalp to be released so that it can be cleansed and purified.

2. Balancing the Scalp: Along with purifying the scalp of the toxins within, steam therapy helps increase the collagen production and blood flow of the scalp. The collagen level and increased blood flow, resulting in a healthy naturally shiny scalp--not the kind of shine caused by synthetic styling products.

3. Improves Elasticity: The elasticity of curly strands is its ability to stretch without snapping and causing further breakage and damage to the strands. Steam treatments allow the hair to absorb so much moisture that the curls will be able to bend and stretch.

4. Enhances Curl Definition: Moisture infused by steam therapy into the hair strands allows the hair to clump throughout the length of the stands which enhances the curl pattern. The bonus effect of steam therapy is that it allows for less heat to be used when flat ironing hair.

5. Porosity: For naturalistas with low porosity hair steam therapy is a good way to help water vapor penetrate the strands of the hair for long lasting moisture. With the cuticle layer being opened from the steam treatment, it is easier to infuse products into the hair to maintain supple flexible strands.
