Rae's Natural Hair Journey
Introduction
Rae discusses her natural hair journey over 10+ years.
Two major haircuts (big chops) in 2018 and 2021, with several mini chops in between.
Focuses on promoting growth and maintaining healthy hair.
Identifying Hair Porosity
Hair porosity refers to hair's ability to soak up and hold moisture.
Porosity Test
:
Float a strand of hair in a glass of water for 5 minutes.
Results indicate:
Low Porosity
: Hair floats.
Medium Porosity
: Hair stays in the middle.
High Porosity
: Hair sinks.
Identifying porosity helps select appropriate hair products.
Hair Trimming
Trim hair every two months.
Avoid trimming with paper scissors; use proper shears to prevent split ends.
Heat Usage
Avoid heat usage, like blow drying, except when trimming.
Blow dry on clean hair.
Hair Textures
Rae has multiple hair textures: 3C, 4A, and 4B.
Different textures across different areas of the head are normal.
Hair Treatments
Conduct hot oil treatments 1-2 times a month, alternating with hair masks.
Warm oil in hot water (not too hot) and apply for 24 hours.
Encourages hair growth and reduces breakage.
Detangling Process
Use argan oil Morocco shampoo and conditioner.
Apply shampoo to scalp, not hair, to avoid dryness.
Rinse twice for thorough cleaning.
Three-step detangling
:
Use fingers.
Use wide-tooth comb.
Use Denman brush.
Results in minimal breakage and more manageable hair.
Shower Filter and Scalp Massager
Uses a filter showerhead to remove heavy metals and chemicals, enhancing hair health.
Scalp massager increases circulation, promoting growth.
Finish wash with cold water to close cuticles.
Moisturizing and Products
Moisturize consistently with L'Ostrasilk's Curlmax activator.
Suitable for all hair types, prevents dryness and frizz.
Avoid disturbing curls to extend "wash and go" for up to two weeks.

Wash hair every 1.5 to 2 weeks to prevent breakage.
Test new product mixes on hand to avoid flaky build-up.
