When Your Products Fail, What Can You Do?

Many of us purchase items hoping to get the best out of them. However, it doesn't turn out right always.

Let me commence with failed shampoos. If you're like me who lives on a budget all the time, then, having to throw away a shampoo that is relatively cheap or expensive is a big NO! But I find ways to enjoy some benefit.
*Give it to one of my sisters. It may work for them.
*Pre poo hair properly- this helps to condition the hair such that if the shampoo is too stripping, the hair is protected.
*If the shampoo isn't able to clean well, I use a lot! I get to benefit from it and speeds up the emptying process.
*Doesn't smell good? Use an after shampoo product with a great smell.
Rinse out regular conditioners:
*Pre poo with it. That way you can enjoy some benefit.
*Use a lot at a go! works to add moisture and get rid of it quickly.
*Mix it with other conditioners.
*Swap or give it to someone.
How about deep conditioner?
*Add oils to it- to improve its effectiveness.
*Heat it up; this has been proven to increase effectiveness and absorption rate!
*Add warm water to a deep conditioner that is too thick for you. Makes it easier to apply, get absorbed.
* Co-wash with it; some dcs work better this way.
* Last resort, swap or give it away!
Oils, moisturizers and leave ins:
*Use up the oils by pre pooing with it.
*If it's the mineral oil or petroleum issue, use a sulfate shampoo. That will clean the hair well.
* Use petroleum based oils on your soles and feet. Eg Vaseline softens and prevents cracks on the soles.
* Tingles too much? Add ordinary oils till it Tingles no more! I have given all my tingling oils out! I remembered this technique recently.

Placenta In Your Hair

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.

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...
