Okay so I have being looking for ways to moisturise and
hydrate my hair……. I have trolled the WWW and Maximum Hydration Method (MHM) keeps popping up so I am going to try it……
What is the Maximum Hydration
Method?
The method was developed by Pinke
Cube (www.maxhydrationmethod.com)
when she developed a bald spot on her head….(OMG) she tried
everything to re-grow the hair and nothing worked so she decided to wear a
shower cap on her head for 3 months in the hopes of growing the hair back….. and it grew…..1.5inches
to be exact on that spot(WOW right)……. what she learned later was that she
inadvertently created a “greenhouse
effect” on her head which made the
rest of her hair reach “maximum hydration” ....clearly she had stumbled upon
something …….so she did some research on
the WWW and discovered
what other people were doing and from all this the Maximum Hydration Method was born you can read all
about Pinke Cube’s journey on her
website and on Miss Dee Kay’s blog (www.missdeekay.com)
Okay so how do you do this method already?
So……..before you even begin the MHM you need to do a Cherry
Lola Treatment!!!??? Yes I know it sounds like something Coca Cola would make
but bear with me………..we almost there
This treatment was created by
Cherry Lola to minimise the frizz she experienced on her own hair……. so since
hair is basically made up of protein….. to treat hair you need to put the
protein back into your hair …….and as we all know (I didn’t know this until I read her blog)
Amino Acids are the “building blocks” of all protein ……. She goes on to explain
the different types of Amino Acids and their sources and their uses in our
bodies but most specifically what they do for our hair……… please check out her
blog www.cherrylola.com ……it’s extremely
informative…… so for the treatment you will need……
75ml Braggs Liquid Amino Acids
1.5 Tbsp. Bicarbonate of Soda
Mix the yoghurt and Amino Acids together once combined mix
in the bicarbonate of soda to aerate the mixture it should start fizzing and it
gets’ real fluffy ……then you apply it from the root to the tip of hair………when
you done put on a shower cap and sit with the mixture for up to 2 hours on your
hair it can be rinsed off after 30 mins but the longer you let it “marinate” the better
it should….. rinse it off and deep condition your hair overnight…… in the
morning just rinse it off and style your hair as desired
Okay now back to the MHM method
There are 5 steps to the MHM and you need to do these EVERY DAY for 7 Days to reach
Maximum Hydration……I know it seems a lot but from the testimonials and videos I
have watched it all seems worth it…..okay so here we go……
Clarifying
You
will need
Bicarbonate of Soda
Aussie Moist Miracle Conditioner
Water
Mix all this together and apply on your
hair and let it sit on your hair for 30 – 60 minutes then rinse

The next 2 steps must be done in conjunction with each other
Leave in Conditioner
Squirt about 30ml of Dr Miracle Curls leave
in conditioner into a spray bottle mix with 100mls of water. Section Hair and
drench each section with this mixture then apply gel to each section
Gel
Apply Dischem Non-Alcohol gel to each section
of hair after the above step into your hair starting from the root to the tip make sure
you smooth it on to each strand so that your hair doesn’t clump together
MissDeeKay’s
blog has a lot of information down to
the conditioner and gel product suggestions BUT………since I am all the way here in Joburg I cannot get those conditioners
and gels I am going to use products I have check out my shopping list and where I got the products
I will update my results daily so don’t forget to subscribe………..
and when I am done I will give away a hamper with all the products I used so
that one of my lucky subscribers can also try this method…..

What do you recommend for dreadlocks
You need to protect your dreadlocks at night from lint by wearing a silk scarf, avoid creamy conditioners as they tend to cause build up, keep your dreadlocks clean as dreadlocks thrive in a clean environment. Dreadlocks like moisture too so moisturize your hair with light oils such as jojoba oil, grape seed oil and sweet almond oil. Use clarifying shampoos Pantene, Paul Mitchell and ORS have some really good ones, do an Apple Cider Vinegar treatment (ACV) on your dreadlocks every 2 weeks, apply ACV on your dreadlocks until they they are damp put on a plastic cap for 15mins then rinse this will help with build up and keep your dreadlocks shiny.
