How to Use Mane Like Me Moisturizing Hair Pudding and Hair & Scalp Oil

 

(On an average many wash natural hair once a week or bi-weekly... it varies)

 

-First, shampoo and condition hair with Mane Like Me's Refreshing & Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner  (see below how to use instructions)

 

IMPORTANT: Before using this Pudding please section your hair into 4 to 6 sections (Using sections helps with managing hair.... from distributing products thoroughly to detangling and styling hair) Next, apply hair cream on wet hair from ends up to roots for each section. Be gentle but make sure the cream has been thoroughly distributed by fingering it/ combing/brushing throughout the section (use a wide-toothed comb and/or a paddle brush to prevent premature shedding or any further hair breakage if hair is currently weak).

 

If you have low porosity hair while the MLM Pudding is on your hair it’s a good idea to cover with a plastic cap/bag to be sure that it’s getting properly moisturized.

(FYI: Low porosity somewhat doesn’t absorb moisture well while high porosity absorbs too quickly... visit here for more info https://www.healthline.com/health/hair-porosity)

 

Then, style hair as desired. Preferably use a low manipulation/ protective style that will allow you to use the cream throughout the week (ex: bun, plaits under a wig that doesn’t damage edges, twists, an easy updo etc... A style that's easy for you to take-down and fix back after applying cream that won’t hinder healthy hair). If your hair is currently weak and you’re  experiencing breakage use cream daily and seal ends with a bit of the MLM hair & scalp oil if needed (those with high porosity hair sealing  with medium to heavy oil helps lock in moisture)...

 

How to Use Hair & Scalp Oil:

 

-Yes ...as just mentioned, few drops of MLM hair & scalp oil applied on the ends up to the roots after evenly distributing cream makes hair feel even more softer, manageable, and enhances shine.

-Afterwards, put some drops of oil directly to scalp in various locations around head and massage well for 5 mins. Do this every day to stimulate hair follicles for hair growth. If needed, pay special attention to thin and/or bald areas for improvement ... with long term use...significant healthy hair improvements like thickness/growth is typically known to be seen within 2-4 months... shine & strength/elasticity 1-2 months (take a before pic and some after pics every 3-4 weeks)... Adhere to informational pages on website... for best results!!

 

 

When using the MLM Moisturizing Hair Pudding as a daily moisturizer.

​

1. (Hair may be wet or dry) Each evening before bed distribute the MLM moisturizing cream thoroughly from ends to roots (make sure it is evenly distributed, combed and brushed in just as you are instructed on Wash Day. (You may apply a bit in the morning but it should not be required ... because you are moisturizing before bedtime and styling it...besides, a good moisturizer should be applied once a day and keep hair moisturized throughout the day for some people... eventually when hair seems healthier and stronger the moisturizer may only need to be applied every 2 to 3 days)

​

How You'll Know It's Working:

 

In order to see if moisturizing cream is working, do a initial hair strand test before use. By the end of 1st week do another. If hair is strong and healthier you will see less breakage and shedding each week--which will promote growth because hair is in good standing.

 

 

How to do a strand test (elasticity test):

 

While combing hair, gather a couple of hair strands that are long that came directly from root (not a short broken strand). With those strands, one at a time, try to stretch the strand to see if it breaks easily. If strands break too easily hair is weak and needs more /better moisturizing and/or protein treatment (evaluate what you’ve done... use problem solving strategies to fix situation ... contact Mane Like Me Team if needed). If it takes a lot of stretching before it breaks or if it stretches and doesn't breaks ...your hair is healthier and stronger. Be sure to compare each week...you will see a difference ... patient and consistent!

KEEP IN MIND:

​

-The Moisturizing Pudding can enhance curl pattern when it's applied to wet/damp hair ... gives a soft hold... it's primary goal is to moisturize & soften hair and with continued use strengthen, reduce shedding & hair breakage (which is vital to length retention) and improve hair's natural shine...

(applying hair oil amplifies these benefits plus more but is not mandatory)

​

-If wearing hair straight or blown out to avoid heavy shrinkage (by pudding) only apply a very small amount of pudding  (followed by a bit of oil) daily or every other day (depending on your hair's need)... then style.

 

-Health of hair is essential always moisturize daily to every couple to few days (according to hair's need... do strand test if needed, or just feel it...it should feel soft with a bit of residue from squeezing hair between fingers to check).. just don't go several days without moisturizing (yes we know...our moisturizer does keep hair moisturized for days however for healthy hair practices apply a bit more).. we don't want your hair to become thirsty ..weak and susceptible to breakage so play it safe --- for length retention hair needs to be strong and full of elasticity. (As mentioned before, if needed, those with low porosity be sure that after applying pudding to cover hair with a plastic cap/bag for about 30-45 mins if you feel product is not absorbing/penetrating as it should...Those with high porosity after applying pudding follow with oil).
