Hair Confessions!!

By
It's been one year and four months since I embarked on this hair journey and I must tell you, it's been full of ups, downs, surprises, joy and unpredictable results.  Let me open up some hidden thoughts.

  • I am not a product junkie not because I can control myself but due to several reasons. I always read everything into details before I take a step. There are products I'd love to try but my doubtful personality prohibits me. Secondly, my budget is always too tight to include testing out products, especially, as I was in school and would rather spend on other stuff. Now, am out of school and into the working force so I may make adjustments for more hair products.
  • I love to read more than write; I always want to read other blogs but when it comes to writing a post, it takes me ages to write. I have the stuff I'd love to share concerning my hair but loads of words is not my style. You'll find most of my write-ups to be very short. The same applies to my text messages and e-mails.
  • I hate dealing with my hair on a daily basis but because I can't braid, I wear ponytails in order to avoid  handling it each morning. I love to have protective styles for a long period of time yet, ironically, I tend to miss my hair in a matter of days. As I write this, I, honestly, miss my hair!
  • I have hair inspirations but I don't idolize anyone's hair. Call me religious but there is a difference between the word "idol" and "inspiration".
  • I'd love to get some highlights in my hair;say bronze colour but am always hesitant because I worry about what people will think. 
  • I love long hair but I adoreeeeeeeeeeee short hair! There's something so sexy about short hair.

    It's good to know what you want and what you don't. I babble by nature but I cannot watch most youtube videos. I have the attention span of a four year old on cupcakes and ice cream. Reading I can take my time with, videos I hear folks talking and want to watch a cartoon. And I don't even have a hair inspiration yet I just finally know where I think I want my hair to get lol.

      I do watch youtube videos and I've subscribed to a lot of them but what I won't do is watch a 30 minutes tutorial video full of talking for the most part without really teaching the how-to.

Placenta In Your Hair

By
Placenta or the popular brand, Placentyne leave in treatment has been with us for ages!  Keratin, which hair is made of, is a strong protein that can break down with sun exposure, wind, pollutants, daily maintenance, manipulation, heat tools, and chemical treatments like permanent color. This is where using protein treatments come in to help temporarily repair the hair strands. Protein treatments are used to add strength and resiliency to damaged hair by attaching hydrolyzed proteins directly to the hair follicle and hardening the cuticle layer. If there are holes in the hair cuticle, it will fill those holes or gaps while also placing a barrier around the hair shaft to lessen further damage. Most protein treatments are conditioning treatments. They can come be a deep conditioner, light, or reconstructor (heavy) (source:https://www.naturallycurly.com)  This placenta for hair acts as a protein reconstructor! This means it's a hard protein treatment  and should therefore strengthen y...

Washing Your Hair In Harmattan

By
With this year's harmattan being so severe, protective styling is definitely a must. Unfortunately, I can't wear any styles yet with this short hair do what can i do? Right from the wash day, my attention has been on preventing moisture loss. This means from the shampoo process to the sealing process, each step involves maximizing moisture. I probably shampoo once every 2 weeks but I water rinse very often. This keeps the moisture levels up as well as keeping the hair less dirty.  I do well to sprit z the hair each morning before anything is done. With the new growth so thick, getting the hair damp is very crucial for moisture retention. I love length but moisture retention during this time of year is the key to a healthy hair. Another form of moisture retention technique I employ is ensuring that the deep conditioners and conditioners I use are moisture based. The Sheamoisture manuka honey conditioner is amazing at this and I really love.  The next thing I want to invest in i...
