Challenge Info - 1

I think I'll just post random information for this pertinent to the challenge that you need to take into consideration when creating your own calendar.

WATER

Water is the most essential element of the body. Like you’ve probably heard in school, the body is made up of about 70% of water. Water is also essential to hair growth. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day not only help your body’s function and skin, it also contributes to healthy hair. Water makes up approximately one fourth of the weight of a strand of hair. When the hair is properly hydrated, it will be supple and shiny.  You have to consider your hair an extension of your body, if your body is properly hydrated, your hair will flourish.

Water is also the most natural setting lotion available. Each of your strands is make up of hydrogen bonds that separate when hair is wet. If you manipulate hair’s texture while wet, the hydrogen bonds reform as it dries, holding the new shape.

Cold water rinse of your hair after you wash and condition not only closes your hair cuticle, but it is also a glossifier. The cold water constricts the cuticle layer of your hair so it lies flatter, making the strands smoother and more reflective.

*At the moment, I spray my hair ATLEAST twice a day (morning and night) and seal with my Shea Butter/oil mixture. I sometimes add moisturizer after I spray water....but I really like the ease of spraying water, sealing with oil, then going about my business. Because my hair is usually in twists throughout the week, this spray/seal method works very well for me.
