My Personal Hair Regimen!

Gaelle Taloute (CEO Of Exotic Hair Care) — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:59:00 -0400

Hey divas! So a lot of people been asking me about my hair regimen. What products do I use specifically and what are my hair routines in order to retain my hair length. Well here it is!

Daily Routine :
1. I'm usually wearing my hair in a updo hairstyle, nothing too crazy.

2. Spray hair day/night with a spray bottle that has a few drops of 100% Glycerin, 1 oz of natural oil (Olive oil, Coconut oil, Jojoba oil and etc...)

3. Tie hair with satin silk scarf and wear a satin bonnet just in case.

Weekly Routine :

1. Co wash hair with a cheap conditioner (suave coconut or Mane n tail conditioner) Well I don't consider this as a weekly routine, because I usually co wash every 2-3 days.

NOTE: I only shampoo depending on how much product build up I have on my scalp. If I didn't use a lot of products during that week I will much rather wash my hair with a cheap conditioner to lightly cleanse my scalp and restoring moisture back into my hair.

Bi Weekly Routine :
1. I use a light homemade protein treatment which is one egg, 1 oz of olive oil and mix it with 4-5oz of mayonnaise into bowl (I DO NOT USE HEAT!!)

2. Before applying my protein treatment I use a spray bottle that has water in it and spray it all over my hair until it feels damp but not soaking wet. I leave the protein treatment for about 15-25 mins.

3. After that I would wash protein treatment out of my hair completely, then apply my regular moisturizing conditioner Main n tail for about 1-2 hours then rinse with cold water.
4. Apply my regular leave in and natural oil then air dry and finally style into a updo hair style.

Monthly Routine :
1. I'll would use the Monoi repairing shampoo then deep condition with the Monoi repairing hair mask , both by Carols daughter. (AMAZING PRODUCT!!!)

2. I would leave in the deep conditioner for 2-3 hours without heat.

3. Then use my regular leave in conditioner and natural oil

4. Finally air dry and style my hair into a updo hairstyle. Occasionally I would use my Kinky Curly Custard to achieve better curl definition.

Yearly :
1. Blow dry and flat iron (using a heat protection on hair) for length check.

2. Trim my ends.

Listen ladies! its very simply. Just keep your scalp clean, keep hair moisturized and ends protected! we're not perfect. I'm guilty of going to bed without a satin scarf sometimes, forgetting to moisturized my hair or sealing my ends. It happens! we all have our lazy days. Just try your best to give more care to your care than damage.

Hair Grease or Hair Oil?

Gaelle Taloute (CEO Of Exotic Hair Care) — Thu, 10 May 2012 10:00:00 -0400

This topic can be very interesting. Some women think Hair Grease and Hair Oil are very similar and they both give relaxed and natural hair the same promising results. The Truth is both are totally different. Let me explain why, First off lets say people use both of these products for the same reasons, which is to keep their scalp from drying up and keeping it moisturized and healthy. But who says the actual ingredients in both give the same exact results?!? Lets separate the two and break down the differences to give us a better idea what are the pros and cons for both products.

Lets start with Hair Grease. Hair Grease can be very affordable but this product sometimes mostly contains petroleum best known as Mineral Oil . Some people like the idea of using a hair product that contains this ingredient but does not mean is good for your hair? Well lets see. Mineral Oil usually makes the hair too greasy and causes the scalp to have unnecessary product build up .If your scalp has a lot of product build up than mostly likely it can stop the hair growth process.When your scalp is clogged with dirt then its not allowing your hair to get the oxygen it needs to circulate blood flow which helps the hair to grow.To make the Long story short Mineral Oil is toxic when consume. Besides using it for hair petroleum is best known for providing protection for skin from windburn, chapping , relief to dry skin and lips.

Now lets talk about hair oil. Depending on the oil you purchase (Coconut, Jojoba, Castor, etc.....) Some are Heavy/Light oils. Usually the best oils are the ones that are UNREFINED, Which means NOT chemically processed. The more natural the oil is the better and healthier results you can get with your hair. Some hair oils that are used daily can also cause the scalp to get clogged from too much oil usage. I recommend using a light oil like Jojoba oil, Grapeseed oil or Almond oil every day or every other day as a scalp massage. For heavy oils like Castor oil, Coconut oil or Olive Oil once a week or every hair wash day on a clean scalp. Light oils are best used for scalp massages and for daily seal ins and Heavy oils are best used as a hot oil treatment and mixed with your regular deep conditioners. Some of these oils can be used for cooking oil (Extra virgin coconut oil and Olive oil). Besides using it for hair, you can also use some of these natural oils like Coconut Oil, Jojoba oil and Almond Oil for skin. Helps keep lips and face moisturized. Purchasing these oils can be very expensive for some people but its definitely worth it.

Now that we broke up the differences between the two, which one would you prefer? Hair Grease? Or Hair Oil? I think I made it pretty obvious hair oil is the best choice when it comes to taking better care of your hair for the long term but than again what might work for some people might not work for you. Hope this article helped you guys have a better understanding the differences between Hair Grease and Hair Oil. Let Me know your opinions on what you think, and what works best for you!

Do you really love your natural hair?

Gaelle Taloute (CEO Of Exotic Hair Care) — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:10:00 -0400

How much do you really love your natural hair? 72% of African American women don't like the idea of going natural, because they personally feel their significant other won't accept their natural hair texture.Woman Prefer wearing their hair chemically processed.They feel as its not only attractive but also professional. In today's society women are most likely to go natural, because they personally feel the first step on loving themselves is to love their natural hair texture without being chemically processed. What makes natural hair more interesting is being in a Interracial relationship Where you are most likely to be easily judged by your partner,And Having to risk your relationship, because of nonacceptance.

Lets talk about what is natural hair? Some people say "Something that grows on top of your head". Natural hair is very thick and coarse. Some is curly, kinky, puffy or all in one. Everyone has their own unique hair texture that makes them who they are. Natural hair is the real you and some women are afraid people won't like the real them. This is where self-esteem comes in.

Now it leads us to our next question, What is self-esteem? Self-Esteem is the level of confidence people carry upon themselves. Rather their confidence are very low/high or depending on other people prospective of them and from there it gives them the results that will help them decide if they are worthy or not. So you can clearly see there can be a huge issue for women.

Honestly Natural or not you should be able to do whatever makes you happy and not make a decision based on someone else satisfaction, because at the end of the day if you don't do what makes you happy and not truly love yourself then no one will.

Do And Don'ts On Relaxed Hair

Gaelle Taloute (CEO Of Exotic Hair Care) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:19:00 -0500

Dont's

1. Combing it 100 times a day. Its not necessary to keep manipulating your relaxed hair. Try finger combing a few times a week and not everyday.

2. Skipping Wash days. Its not a good idea to skip wash days only , because when your scalp becomes to oily from all the product build-up then it causes your relaxed hair not too grow.

3. Not preparing your hair at night. Must wrap your relaxed hair using a moisturizer and a oil (coconut oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, etc...) finishing up using a silk scarf so that your relaxed won't lose moisture.

4. Getting a relaxer soon new growth appears. Not only your risking scalp burns but also your relaxed hair gets thinner and it starts to look unhealthy ,I'm assuming nobody wants that.

5.HEAT! HEAT! HEAT! Put your hot tools down!!! too much heat will increase heat damage on your relaxed hair. If you must use direct heat don't forget to use a heat protecting spray every time your about to use direct heat on your relaxed hair.

DOs

1. Drinking plenty of water. Not only is good for your body but its also good for the hair, water helps your hair growing process.

2. Getting relaxers every 4-6 months. The longer you wait the thicker and healthier your hair gets. but also you do have to remember now you'll be dealing with two different textures (new growth and relaxed hair) so you need to be very careful with the way you comb your hair and make sure you keep your new growth super moisturized to prevent hair breakage.

3. MOISTURIZE AND SEAL! Is a must! and a plus! your hair will become more softer and your ends will be must healthier which means less trimming.

4. Washing your scalp and not your hair. Let me explain, the whole point of washing your hair is too remove product build-up on your scalp and NOT your hair strands. When you are shampooing your hair the shampoo will be running down your hair stands and that's enough to clean your hair just focus on your scalp only!

5. Protective Styling. Not having your ends hang all the time is a plus! try wearing buns, ponytails, or any style that doesn't have your ends showing, Because when you are consistent with protective hairstyles the less you have to trim when you visit your hair salon.

Do And Don'ts On Natural Hair

Gaelle Taloute (CEO Of Exotic Hair Care) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 20:34:00 -0500

Don't

1. Combing it while its dry, If you do that long enough you will increase your natural hair to shed.

2. HEAT! HEAT! HEAT!!! Stay away from a curling/flat iron and blow drier as much as possible. The longer you stay away from it the better and healthier your hair looks.

3. Using products that doesn't fit your natural hair type. What meant work for others met not work for you, so make sure you use a product that keeps your hair properly moisturized at all times, MOISTURE IS KEY!!!

4. Using harsh shampoos that straps natural oils out your scalp

5. Protein overload!!! (eggs in conditioner, mayonnaise and etc...) too much protein in your hair regimen will make your natural hair break off!!!

Do's

1. Combing hair while its wet, the detangling process is much easier and less hair is be loss.

2. Use more protective styling, the more you protect your ends the healthier it will look and not only your hair will look healthier but also the less you have to cut it and you will be able to have lengthier and thick hair on your head.

3. Co-wash!! the perfect way to avoid shampooing. co-washing is basically using a cheap moisturizing conditioner (not protein) to wash your hair. Co-washing is the best way to keep your natural hair super soft and moisturizing.

4. WATER!! WATER! WATER!!! think of your hair as a flower. If your not drinking enough water daily and keeping your body hydrated then your hair is mostly likely won't grow. If you hate drinking water like me then I suggest you adding some fresh sliced lemons in your water bottle.

5. TRIM! TRIM! TRIM!!! want healthy ends? you must trim off dead ends! If you hate getting trims ,because you think your losing your hair length then like said on #2 if you do more protective styles, than the less hair you cut off, Its really that simple.
