Day 15 Challenge: Reduce Hair Problems

Introduction

Congratulations on reaching Day 15 of our 15-Day Hair Challenge! Today’s challenge is all about giving your hair the ultimate care it needs with a customized oil massage based on your hair porosity. Understanding your hair porosity—whether low, medium, or high—helps you choose the right oil and method to deeply nourish and strengthen your hair.

How to Apply

1. Determine Your Hair Porosity:
   • If you haven’t already, check your hair porosity by placing a clean strand of hair in a glass of water. If it floats, you have low porosity; if it sinks slowly, you have medium porosity; and if it sinks quickly, you have high porosity.
2. Choose the Right Oil:
   • Low Porosity: Use lightweight oils like argan oil or grapeseed oil that can penetrate without weighing your hair down.
   • Medium Porosity: Opt for oils like jojoba or almond oil that balance moisture retention and penetration.
   • High Porosity: Rich oils like coconut oil or shea butter are ideal for sealing in moisture.
3. Warm the Oil:
   • Gently warm the chosen oil to enhance absorption into your scalp and hair strands.
4. Apply the Oil:
   • Start by sectioning your hair. Apply the oil to your scalp and massage it gently in circular motions for 10-15 minutes.
   • Run the remaining oil through the length of your hair, focusing on the ends to prevent split ends.
5. Leave It On:
   • Leave the oil in your hair overnight for deep nourishment. You can cover your hair with a shower cap to avoid staining your pillow.
6. Wash It Out:
   • The next morning, wash your hair with a mild shampoo to remove excess oil. Condition as usual.

Benefits
