Maximum Hydration Method (MHM)

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……

 175g Plain Yoghurt
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……

    Gel

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

Unknown said...

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.
