How to Apply Oils Based on Hair Type
Ethnic/Middle Eastern Hair Application:
As stated on our website, our hair care products were originally designed for thick, ethnic hair types. However, our products have been proven to work on all hair types based on the amount used.
Those with ethnic, kinky or thicker hair usually have to use more product in order to assure results.
We recommend applyingLonger and Stronger at the roots of the scalp and in the shaft of the hair. This oil is a great styling aid for those with coarse hair, and can be evenly applied throughout the scalp to the ends.
Caucasian Hair Application:
Those with caucasian hair usually have thinner, finer hair with less texture than those of Middle Eastern or African descent. However, never fear, you can use our hair oil even if you have finer hair.
We recommend using half a pump of our oil to begin with and applying it to just the roots and at the bottom of the hair.
How to Make Your Own Shampoo Alternative
Strong hair is hair that doesn’t easily break, even when brushed. If you have spent a lifetime using traditional shampoos and conditioners like the majority of us, you are probably used to having a lot of hair fall out after using conditioner or combing your hair. Likewise, you might experience challenges with keeping your scalp clean or your hair soft and manageable without using a lot of product.
Our culture’s overuse of detergents in hair and skin products causes excessive issues to the scalp and shaft of the hair, causing the structure of the hair to change and become weaker with time. In order to solve this problem, we suggest nixing the traditional hair products and utilizing an apple cider vinegar solution to wash the hair.
The recipe is listed below. Before washing your hair, comb the hair out with a wide tooth wooden comb and apply this solution directly to the scalp in the shower or bath. Let it sit for a few minutes, rinse and dry. You may use one or multiple pumps of ourhair oil to condition and style the hair. You may plan to shampoo the hair 3 to 6 times a year with a gentle shampoo, like thePacifica Super Kale Shampoo in order to get the occasional deep clean, however you will be astounded at how clean your hair and scalp will become using a simple apple cider vinegar solution.
Our DIY Hair Cleansing Recipe:
Use an empty squeeze bottle or spray bottle and add:
Shake it up, and, ta-da, there you have a shampoo that smells good and effectively cleans your hair! The first few times you try this method, you may be tempted to call it quits. But if you stick with it, within a couple months you will notice a big change in your hair’s strength and shine, and a visible shift in your hair’s texture as it’s re-structures itself to this less invasive routine.
