Natural Hair Regimen: What is the Greenhouse Effect?

As the season begins to change, you may also notice that your hair regimen needs to transition for the winter months ahead.

The greenhouse effect is a process of using a plastic bag or shower cap to retain moisture while you sleep at night.

You should apply your favorite hair oil, preferably shea butter, castor oil or coconut oil prior to applying the plastic cap over your head. It is recommended to add a bonnet or scarf on top of the plastic cap.

Upon awakening in the morning, your hair will be slightly damp yet soft. You can either blow dry your locks on a low setting or air dry.

This method stimulates hair growth by applying natural heat to dry, unruly hair.
