YOUR HAIR IS MADE UP OF THREE LAYERS:
• MEDULLA. This is the soft, central part of the
hair shaft. Interestingly, thick haircontains large
amounts of medulla, while fine hair has almost
none.
• CORTEX. This is the thickest layer of your
hair. It contains lots of fibrousproteins and the
pigment that gives your hair its color.
BEFORE WASHING YOUR HAIR
• Comb your hair with a soft-bristled brush

WASHING YOUR HAIR
• One of the best ways to boost shine after
cleansing is to make sure you totally rinse out
your shampoo and conditioner. Having residue
from either product leftover on your hair makes
your hair look duller and can even lead to
buildup and a greasy look.

The best way to be able to rinse it all out?

shampoo with each wash, you're overdoing it.

APPLYING AND RINSING OUT
CONDITIONER
• Conditioner near your roots isn't a bad thing,
as long as you properly rinse it out afterward.
• Apply conditioner on your mid-lengths and
ends first, and any extra should then be worked
upwards. To rinse out conditioner all the

showerhead or rinse out under the bath tap. A
stronger flow of water helps thoroughly remove
conditioner residue. ■

Coconut Oil — Coconut oil could help you grow your hair
longer by:
• moisturizing your hair and reducing breakage
• protecting your hair from protein loss and damage when
wet
• protecting your hair from environmental damage like wind,
sun, and smoke
It calms irritation, fights fungal infection, treats split ends,
adds lustre, assists itchy scalp and damaged hair.
Coconut oil is predominantly made up of a mediumchain
fatty acid called lauric acid. This gives coconut oil a
long, straight structure, which is more easily absorbed deep
into the hair shaft.
Rosemary Oil — The oil’s health uses range from
antioxidant benefits and anti-inflammation to memory
enhancement and more.
In recent years, there have been claims that the oil may
be great for hair growth. Some say it could even prevent hair
loss, pointing to Mediterranean cultures’ use of rosemary in
hair rinses to promote hair growth for hundreds of years as
supporting evidence. The idea that rosemary oil encourages
hair growth may come from the rosemary’s basic health
benefits. The plant in essential oil form is said to:
• have anti-inflammatory properties
• promote nerve growth
• improve circulation
Like peppermint essential oil (also used to promote hair
growth), rosemary essential oil strengthens circulation. As a result, it
could prevent hair follicles from being starved of blood supply, dying
off, and leading to hair loss.
Beyond stimulating hair growth, rosemary essential oil is used to
prevent premature graying and dandruff. It may also help dry or itchy
scalp.
According to some scientific evidence, rosemary may benefit
nerve tissue.
Carnosic acid, an active ingredient in the plant, healed tissue
and nerve damage in one study. This ability to heal nerve endings
may rejuvenate nerves in the scalp too, in turn possibly restoring hair
growth. Rosemary essential oil increases the growth of new hair by
22%
Rosemary has been used by many to promote hair growth
successfully. Using rosemaryessential oil could very well do the same for
you.
Science and personal experience together both strongly suggest
the essential oil doesprotect against hair loss, particularly that related to
male or female pattern baldness. It may even be effective for alopecia.
