How to Control your Hair in Humid Conditions!
Humidity or Bust!! Humidity is upon us!!!! My youngest daughter is a dancer and we were in Galveston for a dance competition. I have no idea why it surprised me so much but it did… The HUMIDITY, Holy Cow… so dancing on a team requires a bit of coordination and precision of moves, outfits along with hair and make-up. It is very powerful to see such a wide variety of young ladies come together so well and perform as one unit. For this to be we have to straighten her hair so that they can be similar and unified. There are all sorts of things that can be said about "having to" straighten her hair, and I'm not here to debate that. This is a team that loves each other and want to pull together on a unified front to compete, I LOVE watching these young ladies and gentleman come together and have so much fun with each other. Outside of this they are silly beautiful young ladies and gentleman that embrace exactly How they are Created and celebrate their differences. Ok, on to humidity, water supply, minerals in the water, products, ingredients… Oh My! The water where we were staying was hard "oops-in the video I said soft!". The humidity was at 75%, we used silicone based products to provide the thermal protection NEEDED when straightening hair. Quick hair lesson: Hair burns at 451F [degrees Fahrenheit], the flat irons get to 450F… do not kid yourself… this is by design! AND heat damage is Cumulative… therefore IF you heat damage your hair the next time it will not take as muck heat to cause MORE damage. LESSON: use silicone when using heat on your hair! I could totally Nerd out right now and tell you how silicone is made, but I will control myself. Hair will Seek the moisture in the hair if you do not Fill it. So we use aloe to add moisture [it's the oldest most natural ingredient out there], Sea Botanicals [seaweed] to coat the hair shaft, and Honey to add more moisture [fun fact- it keeps hair cleaner, longer] . It can take your hair a few days to adjust to the different conditions, and with more humidity you may have to get used to bigger hair. I do LOVE how my hair changes… it truly fits my personality. I can style my hair pretty predictably now, but it is definitely in my nature to go for the change! Quick Beach/Summer/Water Tips: 1. when getting into saltwater or chlorine water try to add a little product just before you get in, then re-apply when you get out. I love to take a spray bottle with water and conditioner or leave-in or custard to treat my hair! 2. if you get into the chlorine, make sure you do a Detox treatment after, it is specifically designed with chelation agents. 3. if you use a silicone based product, make sure you treat it with Detox shampoo occasionally to manage build-up…Healthy Scalp, Healthy Hair! 4. Have FUN, embrace the added texture! Marilyn Monroe said it best! " Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." MopTop Detox Shampoo The secret to healthy hair is a healthy scalp, and the products you use everyday can take a toll.

How to Avoid Green Hair!
Summer, Swimming & Hair Tip... How to Avoid Green Hair! Summer is here!!!!! The humidity, heat, and swimming are in full swing. I LOVE the summer and the humidity… I know that sounds a little crazy, but I do. My hair changes a little and it’s kind of fun to mix things up. We always try to get to a beach in the summer – there is something calming to me about the ocean. It makes me feel so small and the rhythm of the waves crashing is so calming to me. I love the smell of the salt water and the smell of rain (it always seems to have a shower or two). After being in the ocean, we love to end the day in a pool. I cherish the squeals of kids playing “Marco, Polo”! No matter if you’re swimming in a pool or surfing & boogie boarding in the ocean, you need to take care of your hair! Two products I like to keep close are the Detox Shampoo for after swimming and the Leave-in Conditioner before and during swimming. You don’t need to use the Detox Shampoo after every swim, just wait until after you finish your trip or if you are an avid swimmer you may need to use it more frequently. People often ask me how to use the product, so here’s what I do: DETOX SHAMPOO 1. In a warm shower, I massage my scalp first to activate the sebaceous glands (that’s the small gland in the skin which secretes a lubricating oily matter (sebum) into the hair follicles to lubricate the skin and hair). 2. Then I use about a nickel size portion of the Detox Shampoo, and massage it into my scalp and hair. 3. Let it sit a couple of minutes, then RINSE thoroughly! 4. Then RINSE AGAIN! Now you need to REALLY CONDITION, and leave it in a little longer for best results. 5. Repeat when you get out of the water and again before you get back into the water. LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER 1. Get an empty spray bottle and put 1 part Leave-in Conditioner to 1 part water 2. Mix 3. Soak hair generously with the concoction 4. Go SWIMMING and Have FUN!!! 5. Repeat when you get out of the water and again before you get back into the water. So run out and get your Detox Shampoo and Leave-In Conditioner today and chase away that green hair!

How to Apply Mongongo Oil: Moisturize, Seal, Finish
How to Apply Mongongo Oil: Moisturize, Seal, Finish We’ve spent a lot of time talking about the health of hair this summer. We strive for clarified, but not stripped. Clean, but not dried out. Conditioned, but not weighed down. It’s all about striking the right balance for each individual texture. To round out the series, we need to talk about sealing the deal (or at least the cuticle) of the hair for best results. We’ve discussed letting your natural oils do more – but sometimes they need a little extra help. Enter Mongongo Oil! Mongongo Oil is one of our newest and most versatile products, acting as both styler and finisher while adding moisture, smoothing fly-aways and frizzies. It can also be used as a sealer after styling. The key ingredients are Mongongo and Abyssinian Oils, which are so chock-full of Vitamin E that this product just feeds the hair. A little bit goes a long way – literally. A few drops are all you need to work through each section of hair. We recommend starting at the ends of the hair and working your way up. Hair types that most benefit from Mongongo Oil – Straight, Wavy-Loose, Curly, and Kinky-Coily. Mongongo Oil can be used in a number of ways: Apply between cleansing and styling Cocktail with your favorite MopTop styler Use as a finishing agent to smooth ends, add a nice healthy sheen and eliminate frizz Use to scrunch out any “crunch” created by excess product (see “how-to” in Kelly’s video) Tips for Applying Mongongo Oil Tip1 Do not apply the Mongongo Oil to the roots – it will weigh them down and make the hair look unclean, especially for thinner and finer textures. Tip 2 This product does not have thermal protection and should not be used for flat ironing. It is ideal for cocktailing with leave-ins, custards, or gels to hydrate, regenerate, and restructure hair. Tip 3 Scrunch only after the product has set. A little goes a long way! Indulge your locks with MopTop’s Mongongo Oil, a versatile styler and finishing elixir rich in natural oils. For ultimate strength and shine, Mongongo Oil feeds your hair with a blend of natural oils, including vitamin E oil, abyssinian oil, and sunflower seed oil. Buy Now
