Why Cassia Oil is the Holy Grail for Natural Hair Care

 

Cassia aka Cinnamomum Cassia is made from the dried inner bark of the evergreen tree. It is a powerful treatment for the hair and scalp. 

Cassia oil offers several benefits for hair care:

1. Hydration: Cassia oil’s nourishing properties make it an excellent choice for dry and brittle hair. It can be used in a hydrating hair mask by blending it with a carrier oil and applying it for a deep conditioning treatment.
2. Frizz Control: Incorporating cassia oil into your hair care routine can help manage frizz, leaving your hair smoother and more manageable.
3. Scalp Health: Cassia oil has antimicrobial properties that can help soothe the scalp, reducing irritation and promoting a healthier scalp environment.
4. Strengthening: The oil can help strengthen hair roots, reducing hair fall and promoting overall hair health.

Mix cassia oil with flaxseed oil for a powerful anti-frizz styler.

Cassia oil is typically reddish-brown to golden yellow. It has a strong, spicy aroma similar to cinnamon. It is warming and soothing. Cinnamomum cassia is related to cinnamon, but they are different. Be sure your bottle says Cinnamomum Cassia oil.

The right oils can make your hair grow and thrive

Many years ago I discovered  the importance of the hair thriving from daily oil therapy. Not just any oils, but the right oils. 

Oil therapy is a huge part of the Coily Queens Regimen. Daily you read about the amazing benefits of using various oils for hair care. Five different oils will have some of the same benefits.There are many oils which help with hair growth. So how do you know what oils are best for you to use in your regimen? Oil therapy helps you to figure that out.

Never use oils derived from a food you are allergic to. Just because you are allergic to eating almonds does not necessarily mean you will get a reaction from almond oil. However that is not a chance to take, especially if your allergies are severe. Consult your doctor first.  




How do you know which oil is the best to use? 

You must choose the oil which heals your hair needs. Knowing the best oils for your hair issue can be very difficult for people to figure out. How would you like your own personal growth oil therapy formula? An oil blend which is specific to your hair.

Join the Double your hair growth challenge!

Along with a special hair growth regimen, you will receive your own customized growth oil therapy formula. This is part of the package you get, when you participate in the "Double your hair growth challenge" aka the "Gain an inch in 30 days" hair growth challenge.

How to be shampoo free!

How to cleanse your hair without using shampoo. 

God created our hair to withstand exposure to the elements. Thus your hair can take being washed frequently, without becoming damaged. Hair, skin and nails are made up of the keratin. We  do not think twice about washing our body daily. Yet the average black woman thinks that washing Afro hair to often, will damage it. Some act as though, Afro hair is so delicate that it cannot withstand much manipulation.

Cleansing the hair does not harm it. Cleansing it with the wrong shampoo or cleanser is what causes damage. Not conditioning well after we cleanse, also causes damage. Not the washing by itself. It is important to cleanse your hair at least twice a week. This will rid the hair of germs, viruses and fungi. Hair grows best on a clean scalp.

NON SHAMPOO OPTIONS Although there are many non-sulfate shampoos on the market. Some people are not fond of shampoo. You do have other choices. Here are some of the natural cleansers I recommend to replace your traditional shampoo.

Clay:
I recommend bentonite clay or red clay. It is best to use them together. But you can also use them separately. If your hair is prone to excessive knots, tangles and dryness. Replacing your shampoo with clay is the way to go. Clay cleanses, conditions and defines your coils in one step. For a DIY clay recipe and full information about clay, go HERE.

Hibiscus powder
Hibiscus is a gentle cleanser. If you use gel, grease or heavy oils, this might not cleanse enough for you. Add some spring or distilled water to pure hibiscus powder. Add a little at a time. You want to create a paste. Rinse your hair under warm water for 30 seconds. Apply hibiscus paste to scalp and gently massage. Smooth the paste over each hair strand. Cover with a plastic cap for 10 minutes. Rinse well with med temp water. Continue with deep conditioning. Do not use on blonde or light color hair.  It might change the color.

Soapwarts
This one is great for dandruff and itchy scalp. It is also a gentle cleanser. It is a natural cleanser that suds. But it is not harsh like bar soaps. It has a light earthy smell. Buy it in a powder form. Create a paste with distilled water. Wash hair with it and follow with deep conditioning. Find it at health food stores or HERE.

Black soap
This is an excellent all natural cleanser for the whole body. It softens, cleanses and conditions the hair, amazingly. It is cheap and long lasting. Be sure to buy only authentic black soap. MORE INFO HERE

    m.  Cold pressed coconut oil
    n.   Jojoba oil
    o.   Grape seed oil


To start your regimen you only need one product out of each category, in the beginning. Once you get started with your first 4 products, then you want to build on those products. 

BUILDING YOUR PRODUCT STASH

The CoilyQueens Regimen recommends having, 3 of each recommended product. This means 3 cleansers, 3 conditioners, 3 leave in conditioners and 3 different types of oils you love. You do not  want, to depend on one brand of cleanser or conditioner. To often your favorite conditioner will stop working as well as it did in the beginning. Sometimes companies change formulas. You can also develop an allergy towards a product that was okay in the beginning. So if you have more than one cleanser and conditioner, that works for you. You do not have to worry about being caught without having a product that works.

Before you shop remember these tips. 
1. Only use non sulfate shampoos
2. Get in the habit of reading the ingredients before you buy.
3. Starting out purchase the same brand of cleansers and conditioners. 
4. Shop with companies who stand behind their brands. Keep your receipt so you can return it, if after one use it does not meet your liking. 
5. If you are on a budget, save most of your money, for a good quality leave in conditioner. The leave in conditioner/moisturizer is your most important product. READ MORE ABOUT IT HERE
6. Spend your money on good quality oils, from the health food store, grocery store. Be sure they are unrefined or cold pressed.

Hair care tips for black children

CLEANSING, CONDITIONING AND SCALP CARE

Hair grooming should not be a difficult task for you or your child. When the process of cleansing and styling is difficult  it creates a very unpleasant experience for your child. This starts a cycle of your child not wanting to get their hair done.

1. Wash her hair once a week.  Hair grows best on a clean scalp. Washing the hair also is the best way to hydrate the hair. You want to keep away all bad bacteria and fungus

2. Invest in a non sulfate shampoo and conditioner. Choose products close to natural. It is best to use products from the same product line.

3. Always do a regular conditioning treatment after each shampoo. Regular conditioner is when you apply the product, let it sit from 3 to 5 minutes and rinse out. 

4. Blot hair with t-shirt material and not a towel.

5. After rinsing our your regular conditioner, with hair still soaking wet. Do a final rinse with aloe vera water. This is 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice + 1/2 cup of filtered water, pour all of it over her hair and let it soak in. Leave on hair do not rinse off. 

6. With hair still soaking wet from the aloe vera rinse, apply a leave in conditioner. 

7. Purchase a leave in conditioner that contains a high amount of glycerin. Glycerin is a great humectant and it keeps the hair moisturized longer. 

Great leave in conditioner

8. Always seal with either: avocado oil, castor oil or jojoba oil. This will keep your hair moisturized longer. 

9. Styling the hair in braids, twists or small ponytails will help the hair style moisturized longer. 

10. Do not forget to oil the scalp with a good quality cold pressed all natural oil

5 possible reasons for your dry, itchy, flaky scalp

1. Products with harsh cheap ingredients:
Using products which contain a lot of unnatural ingredients will lead to allergic reactions on your scalp. Lots of times they are shuttle and many times the product causing the issue is overlooked. This can happen with a product you have used for years. It is best to choose products which have more natural ingredients, such as plant extracts, natural oils and butters. Stay away from cheap brands like: Aussie Moist, Dove, Pantene, Organix, African Pride and others like them. 

GREAT LEAVE IN CONDITIONERS FOR EXTRA DRY HAIR

2. Overuse of products
Whatever you apply on your hair will also seep onto the scalp. Be choosy with the products you use, which you leave on your hair all day. Just because your have Afro hair does not mean you have to use half the jar in one application. More product does not always make your hair style better. Many times it leaves a build up on the scalp, which irritates the scalp after a few days. Start using half the amount of product. Start small and smooth more. Your hair might look like it has soaked up the product but it has not. The majority of products do not penetrate the hair strands. They are cosmetic and sit on top.



3. Not cleansing enough
Lots of women have clogged hair follicles which lead to their slow hair growth. Most times the slow hair growth is attributed to genetics. Daily your hair collects: germs, dirt, bacteria, dust, products and more. Your hair is getting dirty the same way your body is getting dirty, throughout the day. You wash your body then ignore the hair. That must stop. Your dry itchy scalp is begging to be cleansed. Wash your hair with a non sulfate shampoo twice a week. 

HOW TO SHAMPOO AFRO HAIR EFFECTIVELY

4. Fungus
This is a top reason for hair loss and slow hair growth. If your scalp is itchy, scaly, dry skin buildup then you could have a fungus issue. The only way to know is to visit your dermatologist. You can also use a product that contains sulfur and see if your scalp starts to heal. If it does then there was a good chance your issue is fungus related. 

LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR SCALP AND FUNGUS HERE

5. Low sebum production
We are always producing sebum from our hair follicles if they are still open. Sebum is the waxy oily substance that is secreted from our hair roots. Sebum conditions the hair and keeps it growing at it optimum speed. Sebum is why your face becomes oily. Some people produce more sebum than others. Our sebum production depends on our individual health. When your sebum is low then your scalp can become itchy due to low lubrication. A balanced healthy diet which includes 64 ounces of water daily will help you maintain great sebum production. Oil massages with good oils for ten minutes everyday, will also help with low sebum production. 

Red Palm oil the best oil for sealing in moisture

Red Palm oil is a super moisturizer

It is a super oil because it is high in vitamin E. beta carotene and lycopene.

Perfect for locking in moisture due to it richness. 

Is red palm oil the same as palm kernel oil?

No it is from the same fruit, but from a different part of the fruit. Red palm oil is from the pulp or meat of the  palm fruit. It's a red orange color. Palm kernel oil is made from the seed which is left over after you eat the pulp. The seed is mechanically squeezed and it makes a clear oil. Palm kernel oil has less nutritional benefits. It has a longer shelf life and is much cheaper in price than the red palm oil.

I am recommending organic red palm oil for the hair. So be mindful of what you pick up in the grocery store. The color of each oil is distinctly different.  Use a little bit to lock in moisture as you finish off your shampoo regimen. 

Super oil=Super benefits.

How to know if your Shea butter is of good quality

Melts  and spreads easily
When you put it on your hands it melts quickly. Although lots of people love to whip their Shea butter, it is not necessary to whip it in order to use it. If your Shea butter does not melt or spread easily then it is not pure Shea butter. In the states a lot of the Shea butter is mixed with other butters. Pay attention to the label when you are choosing your products. I have seen Shea butter labeled as "African butter" this means you are not getting 100% Shea butter. You are purchasing other cheaper African butters, which may still be good, but very misleading. You deserve to have what you thought you were paying for. 

Shea butter is full of  vitamins A & E, proteins, minerals and fatty acids. Shea butter is an excellent emollient and it helps to keep moisture from leaving your skin and hair. It is breathable, protects the hair and is a great detangler. Shea butter prevent wrinkles, anti inflammatory and protects the skin from UV aggressors. But you only receive these benefits from good quality grade A Shea butter. 

Stay away from the golden yellow Shea butter or pure white Shea butter.
I have purchased Shea butter since the 80's and it was always a cream, off white color, or pale yellow in color. When you come across that bright yellow Shea butter it has been mixed with something to brighten the color. Some makers think that the golden yellow color makes it more appealing to the consumer. Just understand that butter is most likely not pure. If it is white or bright yellow it is mostly refined Shea butter. Refined Shea butter has gone through an intense heat process and will contain solvent residues. It is many times odorless and has other chemicals in it to prolong the shelf life. 

Purchase unrefined, grade A Shea butter
Unrefined means it has not been treated with high heat. Heat destroys many of the plant nutrients. Shea butter is a food first, so it feeds the hair roots awesome nutrients, which help to keep your hair healthy. But when you purchase the refined butter you will not get all those nutrient benefits. You will still have the lubricant benefits of the butter but that is all. 

Shea butter greatly benefits those with Afro curly coily hair. But invest in a good quality butter to reap the benefits. If Shea Butter has not wowed you then most likely you have never used a good quality rich Shea Butter.

Jamaican Black Castor Oil versus cold pressed castor oil

If you have  frequented hair forums or groups, for more than one week, then you have seen posts about Jamaican Black Castor oil aka JBCO. You have probably read many testimonies in which someone says it helped them grow their hair longer.  Many women have written testimonies about Jamaican Black Castor Oil growing their edges back. JBCO is widely used as a hair growth agent and hair softener. 

Castor bean plant

But what exactly is JBCO and how does it differ from regular castor oil? 
You will find several makers of JBCO. Jamacian Black castor oil is made from the castor bean plant. The way in which it is extracted from the castor bean is by using high amounts of heat. The oil is kept at high heat for so long that it develops ash. This ash makes the oil appear a little darker in color. The makers of this refined oil claim that the ash content, which develops in the oil, is what causes the hair to grow. These are the claims of Tropical Traditions makers of a JBCO product.

Order here!!!

Cold pressed castor oil is extracted from the castor bean plant using a pressing method. High heat is not used during the cold pressed procedure, therefore the castor retains it amazing benefits. We know that the longer you cook food on high heat the more of the nutritional properties you destroy. Natural oils fall under the same law. So when choosing any type of natural oil you always want to look for a unrefined cold pressed oil. This is the best choice for your money. 


Both JBCO and castor oil are made from the same castor bean plant. The big difference in the two oils is how it is extracted from the castor bean plant. Cold pressed is a better buy. JBCO is overpriced refined castor oil.

Castor oil softens and conditions hair

Which is better for the hair?
Cold pressed castor has more benefits for the hair and body than the over processed JBCO. You also get more product for your money by purchasing  cold pressed castor oil. On average JBCO cost  around  $7.99 for 4 ounces. This is overpriced for castor oil. You are paying to much money for burnt oil.

Benefits of cold pressed castor oil
Anti bacterial and anti fungal
softens hair dramatically
Reduces frizzy hair 
Full of fatty acids which nourish the scalp and prevents it from drying out.
Increase hair growth
Humectant
Stimulates the scalp
Hair regeneration (with consistent use for 2 months or more)
Strong pain reliever
Anti inflammatory, soothes inflamed skin.

 
The castor oil I use and recommend is by Home Health, I purchased a large 32 ounce for 12.99.  Much better value and quality castor oil. ORDER HERE!

Why it takes you so long to detangle your hair

1.  You do not practice oil therapy 

Oil Therapy is the process of massaging good quality specific oils onto your scalp and hair on a daily basis. This is an important part of the CoilyQueens Regimen

• Choose from avocado oil, coconut oil, EVOO or castor oil.
• Oils should be cold pressed, unrefined or virgin.
• All suggested oils with the exception of castor oil are penetrating oils, they create no buildup.
• Measure out 1 tablespoon of oil at a time. 
• Daily application of oils makes it easier to untangle you hair come wash day.
• No need to pre-poo your hair because you hair is already lubricated 

2.  Your hair is dehydrated

Hair strands are not properly holding in moisture

• Dehydrated hair stays hard, requires moisturizer daily, does not hold definition well and breaks easily upon manipulation.
• Dry hair forms single strand knots easily and tangles excessively.
• Start a hydration regimen now to correct this issue

Two highly effective moisture treatments

• Nine day moisture therapy
• 18 day excessive tangles corrector 

3.  You expect Afro curly hair to be 100% tangle free!

• Your hair does not have to be untangled completely
• Type 4 Afro hair can rarely be combed through without curls being intertwined. 
• Styles such as two strand twists and braids can be achieved without completely untangling the hair.
• A comb does not always have to glide through your Afro hair, especially when it is shoulder length or longer.

imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

Make changes today so you can enjoy easier untangling sessions and shorter shampoo times. Following the CoilyQueens Regimen consistently  reaps you shorter detangling times. Untangling, cleansing and deep conditioning should not take longer than 1.5 hours.

Help my scalp is sore!

A sore scalp is common occurrence  amongst all people, at one time or another in their lifetime.  The average person  will have a sore scalp on occasion but usually it goes away after a few hours or 2 days. A constant sore scalp is not normal and should be looked at by your doctor, to ensure that the sore scalp is not indicative of a underlying serious health condition.  Some people keep a sore scalp and label themselves as tender headed and think nothing of it.

There are many causes of a sore scalp some common ones are: allergies to products in particular sulfates, hair pulled to tightly from styling, sinus issues, inflammation of the scalp, tense tired scalp muscles, older age and more. Whatever the root cause, know that if a sore scalp persists more than 3 days, then you should tell your primary care doctor.

Sore scalp solutions:

• Eliminate products which contain:  sulfates, alcohols and parabens .(these ingredients are strong and many have allergic reactions to them and do not even realize it)
• Be sure there are no bad teeth in your mouth, so it could be time to a dental checkup. (wisdom teeth, impacted teeth and cavities can create all sorts of extra pain within your body)
• Do not braid, twist or pull your hair to tightly.(extension braids should be able to be bent back and forth without your cringing the first day of your style. If you have to take a pain pill and cannot bend your extension back and forth without pain then they are to tight, remove them ASAP or spray your scalp area with a warm water solution to try and loosen them up)
• Drink 64 ounces of water daily (water helps to keep inflammation out of the body) 

Two natural remedies for a sore spots on scalp

 
Ice pack on sore area for 15 minutes only, then you can wait an hour and do another 15 minutes until the pain stops.
Massage scalp for 10 minutes twice a day, concentrating more on the sore areas

                       

  Sore scalp oil mix:

 One tablespoon of pure jojoba oil

 2 drops of  pure tea tree oil

 4 drops citronella essential oil

 3 drops of pure argan oil

 Jojoba oil improves the texture of  your skin while removing excess cholestrol from your scalp. The tea tree is anti bacterial while the citronella and argan act as the inflammatory agent.

Mix these oils together in a bowl and apply to the sore areas first, and with your finger pads (not your fingernails) massage area as deep as you can stand it) Apply oil mixture a little at a time all over the entire scalp. Massage for at least 10-15 minutes, concentrate more on the sore areas of your scalp. You can also hang your head over the sink (as though you were going to wash your hair) and massage it this way, this will encourage better blood circulation. If you are able to hang your head off the side of a bed that is even better. Caution if you use either one of the last two techniques only do them for 3 minutes and stop if you get dizzy or feel weird in any way.

Test your scalp

The scalp contains muscles and muscles become tense and sore.  A healthy scalp moves very easily. Test your scalp, palm you head as you would a basketball, then with your hand firmly on each side of your head move your whole scalp back and forth. How easily did your scalp move?  Did your scalp feel loose or tight and tensed?  When you do this test you want your scalp to move back and forth easily and loose, not tight and tensed. Hair does not reach its full monthly growth potential if the scalp is tight.  Practice daily massage with  natural oils to keep the scalp loose and to stimulate  healthier blood flow.

Single Strand Knots!

You can prevent single strand knots from forming!

If you are natural, stretching your relaxer or transitioning from relaxed to natural, then more likely than not you are dealing with tangles, these tangles lead to single strand knots. Now I have seen many natural gurus say that tightly coily hair or type 4 hair is just prone to tangles and knots. That is just the nature of tightly coily hair. That is not true! Tangles and knots are the result of dehydrated hair. If you hair continues to be lacking moisture, then that hair will eventually snap and pop.

Prevention is always better than cure!

That being true,  the CoilyQueens Regimen, when followed on a regular basis, will eliminate your single strand knots and greatly reduce the amount of tangles you get. Just because your hair is tightly coily does not mean you have to deal with excess tangles and single strand knots. The CoilyQueens Regimen uses hydration and lubrication to eliminate your single strand knots and reduce your tangles.

As you can see with my tightly coily long hair one would think I deal with lots of tangles and single strand knots. But thanks to the CoilyQueens method my tangles have decreased and I rarely get a single strand knot. When I do, it is because I forgot to cover my hair at night.

Time to detangle!

 Even after getting caught in the rain, when I went to fingercomb this out, it was not as tangled as it might look. The CoilyQueens Regimen made it easier to untangle  my twist out that 

got rained out, lol. 
 
So what is the secret to preventing single strand knots???

You apply a natural penetrating oil to your hair daily.
Recommended oil for daily use: extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or coconut oil
Start with 1 tablespoon and massage oil onto your scalp first.
Massage for 10 minutes to stimulate better hair growth. 
When massage is done, smooth the oil throughout the length of  you hair strands.
That is it! Good-bye single strand knots after 7 days of oil therapy.

Healthy lubricated hair handled properly does not get single strand knots.

Dry hair gets single strand knots and tangles easily.

This regimen makes your wash day shorter because there is no need to pre-poo.

You lubricated hair is easy to untangle on shampoo day.

Oil therapy the solution to single strand knots was discovered by CoilyQueensRock.com. This is the only website you will see promote this solution for single strand knots. I discovered this while experimenting with my love of natural oils, so if you read this solution anywhere else they copied me and should give CoilyQueensRock.com credit.

 The CoilyQueens Regimen greatly decreases your tangles when you practice oiling daily as recommended. I have followed this regimen for 3 years and my hair rarely gets a single strand knots because I have fewer tangles. If I do get a knot it is easy to untangle with no damage, because my hair is well lubricated and strong. Try the CoilyQueens Regimen today you will not regret it!

Hydration + Lubrication = no more single strand knots

This regimen is great for transitioners also, although I am mostly natural, as you can see from the above picture my bang area has some relaxer on it. About 4 years ago I was wearing a curly sew in so I relaxed the bang area of my hair so it could blend in. I am so glad I did not relax my entire head. I have to give this small area of hair, extra care because of the two textures. The CoilyQueens Regimen makes it easy to untangle when I do get tangles. Because of the lubrication,  I can easily pull them apart with my fingers. I do not have to resort to cutting the knots out. Some might say well, why not just cut your bangs. Well this picture was taken in 2011, so I have cut a small part of my bangs, but I still have some left because it was a large bang. Also because I took care of it so well, I experienced no breakage, you can tell from the picture how healthy it still looks regardless of the relaxer still being there. So because it has not interfered with my daily styling and it is not breaking, I chose not to cut it. The CoilyQueens Regimen has enabled me to not have breakage. This will work out great for long term transitioners. 

Start the CoilyQueens Regimen today! 

Watch your hair transform!

3 Steps to Longer and Stronger Hair

 Moisturize---Stimulate----Protect
=Great Hair Growth



Anyone can grow their hair long and healthy, if their haircare regimen consists of three categories. Your routine must moisturize the hair, stimulate the hair root and protect the hair strands. If you are healthy and your hair roots have not been damaged, then implementing these categories into your haircare regimen, will ensure that  you will achieve longer, stronger beautiful hair.

Moisturize
Stimulate
Protect

Your hair and scalp for longer hair growth

 

Step one: Moisturizing your hair

The best way to keep moisture in your hair is by shampooing your hair once or twice a week using a conditioning cleanser or a non sulfate shampoo.

Always deep condition your hair after cleansing.

Always rinse with cold water during your final cleansing step.

Always use a good leave in conditioner which has the first ingredient listed as water.

Apply natural oils to your scalp and hair daily. Choose natural oils such as: coconut oil, olive oil or avocado oil.

Avoid products with harsh alcohols.

If your hair has a hard time retaining moisture, then give yourself an apple cider vinegar rinse. 1/4 cup of ACV to 2 cups of filtered water, pour over hair and allow to sit for 3 minutes, rinse with cold water. Do this after you rinse out your deep conditioner. 

Drink 64 ounces of water daily

Step two: Stimulate

Exercise daily to keep your blood flowing well

Massage your scalp 10 minutes daily. Stimulating your scalp with your fingertips stimulates blood flow which nourishes the hair root where hair growth takes place. Use oils when you massage your scalp

Apply stimulating essential oils that stimulate blood flow. Oils such as peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, coconut oil, ylang ylang oil. Add these oils to a carrier oil and apply 3 times a week. 

 

Step three: Protect

Preserve and protect your hair strands by covering your hair, with a satin scarf or bonnet at bedtime or anytime your head will rub against a surface for long periods of time.

Wear your hair in styles which require less manipulation and the ends of your hair concealed. 

Wear hats in the hot weather for protection  from the UV rays.

If your hair has been relaxed or is prone to break easily, get a good protein treatment to strengthen your hair strands and keep them from breaking so easily. Use a product which contains hydrolyzed keratin protein, these small particles of keratin stick to your hair strands and fill in the broken damaged spaces of your hair strands and keep it from breaking off so easily. This enables you to retain more length and see more growth. 

 

So tell me does your haircare regimen cover all these steps?

If you are not getting the results you desire, give your regimen a makeover.

Figure out which step is missing with your haircare regimen and then add it.
