Remedy dry brittle hair with Rosewater

RosewaterManaging natural hair presents many challenges, but moisture remains the number one challenge.

Rosewater has been used to maintain beauty throughout history. It is a staple in my natural hair regimen. I use it to tone my hair. Just as you tone your skin after cleansing and before applying moisturizer. Adding this extra step creates  natural shine by sealing cuticles and protecting your core from damage. Use daily instead of water to re-wet your curls.

Why it works:

The pH of rosewater is slightly acidic just like your hair and skin! It causes the cuticle layer of your hair to constrict and lay flat protecting strands from potential damage and reflecting light creating a natural shine.

How and When to Use?

Frequent wetting actually dries your hair out making it look dull in appearance. Use rosewater to dampen curls for a softer more defined twist out; spray on hair full strength or diluted with distilled water to re wet and reset your twist out.

  • Tone and soften hair: spray hair liberally after rinsing conditioner.
  • Reduce inflammation: spray scalp to relieve itching and dryness.
  • Tone skin: spray on face after cleansing to tighten and soften skin.
  • Refresh Twist Out: Mist lightly before re twisting
  • Aromatherapy: Use on any style for a fresh scent
  • Revitalize style: Spray on flat twist updo to bring style back to life
