Motions "Going Natural" Hair Tips & Giveaway!
Looking to go au’ natural? The winter months are a perfect time to keep your mane looking glorious while you return to those beautiful curly, kinky, wavy roots!
Motions ethnic hair care brand provides some great tips to help give your relaxed tresses a much needed break as you transition back to a natural state.
Let It Grow!
Hair naturally grows approximately ½ an inch per month. For shoulder length hair, growing out a relaxer could take between two and four years! The process is timely, but the results are worth it. Natural styles offer full volume and won’t interfere with exercise routines, where as chemicals from relaxed hair can get on your face and clothes when breaking a serious sweat. The natural hair trend is perfect for the girl on-the-go who doesn’t have time to do her ‘do. For a quick fix, apply a few drops of Motions Smoothing Shine Serum (SRP: $4.79) to help moisturize your hair and scalp, which can become irritated when growing out your relaxed hair. Light and non-greasy, this serum fights frizz and flyaways throughout the day while adding instant shine.
The Transition
The oil glands in curly hair can restrict moisture and contribute to both dry scalp and brittle locks, increasing breakage. Natural hair can also absorb moisture in the air, creating a frizzy look that loses its shape at the roots – a frustrating phase for women while they grow out their relaxed hair. Motions Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion (SRP: $3.89) is formulated with hydrating emollients and humectants to soften hair while providing manageability. The lotion, with a formula including panthenol and keratin, helps protect natural hair from heat. It also adds moisture back into hair, leaving tresses looking hydrated and healthy.
Wear It Proud
A fashionista doesn’t conform to the same style as everyone else. Show off your individuality with natural hair and flaunt your new, springy curls with these simple steps:
• Spray your hair with a detangler and divide into small sections.
• Brush through hair with a large tooth comb, working from the ends to the top of your head.
• Apply Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion Regular Hold (SRP: $4.49) onto damp tresses,
and twist into small sections all over your head. This lotion helps to keep hair in place during the drying process.
• Once dry, take out the twists and voila! You will have amazing texture and beautiful, natural corkscrew curls that last well into the night.
