Cold water sealing your twist out

The Coily Queens regimen uses a cold water sealing method to help you achieve better looking twist outs.  Cold water makes the hair cuticle lay flatter. It seals your hair giving you better twist definition, hold and less frizz. Cold water sealing also enables the hair to retain moisture longer.

Your porosity does not matter for this technique!

4 WAYS TO COLD WATER SEAL

1. Cold water quick rinse

This consists of running cold water over your twists for 10 seconds. Follow up with more oil. This works best on your shampoo day. This is done after creating your two strand twists. Apply more moisturizer, after rinsing if needed. 

2. Cold water spray

Put a spray bottle of filtered water in the fridge and let it chill. After completing your two strand twists, spray each twist with cold water.

3. Ice cube sealing

Rub each twist with an ice cube.

4. Cold leave in or styler

Put your leave in conditioner in the refrigerator, until it is cold.  Apply to your hair as you twist it.  

Either one of these cold water sealing methods will give you smoother twist outs, with better coil definition. Choose the one that is best for you. Your porosity does not matter.

Keeping your natural hair moisturized

 Once you cleanse, condition and hydrate your hair, you must lock that moisture into your hair. The goal is to keep your hair luxurious and soft for at least 3 days, before you need to apply more product. The best way to keep the moisture from escaping your hair so quickly is to use a sealant product. 

---SEALANT

A oil or butter that is applied on top of your moisturizer. This oil or butter helps the hair hold water for longer periods. A sealant or sealer is the last product you apply to the hair. On top of locking in moisture it should also give your hair a nice sheen. 

In order for the sealant to work, you must already have moisture in your hair. That moisture must come from water. Choose a moisturizer, water based leave in conditioner or plain water, then seal in that moisture with a sealant product.

There are several different ways of sealing in moisture.

Quick easy sealing:
This can be done when you want less shrinkage and more body to your twist outs. After you shampoo and deep condition. You skip the leave in and other style products. You take advantage of the soaking wet hair. In this case the water alone is your leave in. You seal that water into your hair by using either an oil, butter or grease. Style hair as usual. 

This works great as a style refresher between shampoos

• Lightly mist hair with water
• Smooth on shea butter or jojoba oil
• Restyle and cover hair
• Let hair set overnight
• In the morning you should have definition, elongation, shine and softness.

I started using red palm oil last year. I purchased my jar from a high end grocery store; it was an impulse buy. My palm oil is unrefined, organic and comes in a dark glass jar. Red palm oil is full of vitamins A and E, and is knows as a super food. When purchasing any type of organic oil, you need to use it consistently. Organic oils are made to be used and not  stored. Even though I used it 3 times a week,my jar expired before I was half way finished. Check your expiration dates before you pay for it. Red palm oil is very rich  and a little goes a long way. 

Red palm oil is great to use right after your shampoo regimen, because it locks in moisture so well. Consistent use will reverse your gray hair and correct  hair loss.  Red palm oil is full of carotene and lycopene and this prevents your hair from becoming weak or brittle. Full of saturated fats and lipids makes it a perfect moisturizer for the hair and skin. 

PROS:

Super hair growth

Decreases your gray hair

Prevents hair loss

Strengthens hair

Revitalizes your skin and prevents wrinkles

Contains a high amount of vitamins A and E, more than any other plant oil.

CONS:

This oil is a bright orange color. Some people feel the oil is messy and stains. Personally I do not find the oil messy. I always wear a scarf if I use it at bedtime. As with all oils I measure out my oil, instead of just eyeballing it. I use the finger dip method instead of pouring it from a applicator bottle. Taking these measures ensures that you do not over oil your hair. It does not stain my clothes, pillows or furniture.
