When Your Products Fail, What Can You Do?

By
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.

7 Ways To Increase Length Retention

Length retention basically refers to the ability to retain the growth you get. It's easy to increase hair growth but retaining that growth takes effort.  1. Allow your hair to rest: When you take down your hair from extensions, allow your hair to breathe for some days before jumping into the next style.  2. Be consistent in moisturizing and sealing: once your hair is moisturised, there won't be breakage and you'll retain the length.  3. Protect the ends and that means keep them off your shoulders. This will prevent the ends from rubbing on your shirt or dress thereby minimizing breakage.  4. Minimize wash day setbacks: This includes trying not to do every treatment in one wash.  5. Trim ends on time so you won't have to cut off large amounts due to severe split ends or thin ends.  6. If you have natural hair, keep the hair in stretched styles to minimize knots and tangles. 7. Find a detangling method that works for you and stick with it!
