Products For Moisturizing and Sealing

By
We know moisturizing and sealing is crucial to the success of our hair journey. What are the products to use though aside the oils and pomade? 

1. Leave in conditioner : Whether water based or creamy leave in, they provide the moisture needed.

2. Hair Mist: An example is the Cantu hair mist. These are also great products you can use to moisturize. They are best paired with creamy moisturizers or leave in conditioners. 

3. Hair moisturizers: These fall into two categories. Water based ones like S curl no drip moisturizer and Hawaiian silky moisturizer also get the job done. However, oil moisturizers are best used after a moisture based leave in. You still need to follow with a butter after using oil moisturizers because moisturizing oils penetrate the strands which might leave the hair dry in a short period of time. 


4. Hair milk such as Mielle Organics hair milk definitely helps to keep your hair moisturized.


5. Hair lotions: These fall into two categories; the oil lotions and water based lotions.

I find the oil moisturizing lotions to be ok to use on their own. However, a little water based leave in or hair mist allows for better absorption. 
Water based lotions like the mega growth lotion are good to use on their own without prior moisture. 

You may choose to combine them in your regimen for optimum results.

I bought the forever Clair natural skin Lightening Soap for hyperpigmentation as a result  of walking through the sun. If  didn't like how my face especially looked. It's been about a couple of weeks since I started using the fC natural skin Lightening soap for hyperpigmentation,  scars among other. Does it work? The soap costs between 10-20gh depending on the retail shop. I used it twice a day as directed.  You leave it on your skin for 3 minutes before washing off. I did exactly as directed and I did see a huge change in my skin,  especially my face.  Due to this,  I'll be grabbing two more soaps soon plus the body Cream or lotion. It smells ok, very mild and lathers well. I noticed that it lathers  well if you use a wet sponge rather than  on dry sponge. If it's not working for you,  perhaps, you ought to follow the instructions for use. In addition,  you may have to use the whole like for effective results. Does it bleach the skin? No, it removes the dark spots and
