Oils For Your Hot Oil Treatment

Image
Every natural hair or relaxed hair lady has some oils stashed somewhere for moisturizing and sealing but do you know about using oils for   hot oil treatment  ? I have a short post on how to do hot oil treatments (see here ).  The next thing to tackle is what oil you can use for your treatment. Coconut Oil This is by far, the most popular oil in the hair care industry and it's for a good reason too. The coconut oil has been proven to have the ability to penetrate the strands far which makes it one of the most effective oils for hot oil treatments. It's able to prevent the hair from absorbing too much water which can cause hygral fatigue so go ahead and use your coconut oil Palm Kernel oil Although the smell of this oil can be a put off, it's benefits for the hair should motivate you to use it for your treatments. The good thing about the oil too is that it's readily available in the markets. The other oils that you can use are: Castor oil  which does not only grow hair

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="396"] Twist out on short natural hair[/caption] Yes, the availability of hair products now hasn't totally made our hair journey easier. It has its own stress which together with together with other problems, make our journey difficult. 1. Internet services: when surfline sent my hubby a notification that our credit was finished, it just left my in a limbo. How could that happen when I hadn't viewed youtube videos??? With our mobile networks, internet bundles are so costly that it's virtually impossible to watch more than 3 videos even in a month! How would naturals access youtube videos and also even support channels like mine?☺ This is very frustrating! Any network willing to solve this? 2. Cost of item delivery; it's very annoying when I have to send items to customers and I'm charged more than the price of the product. How is that going to help the customer? Paying for something and having

Castor Oil Challenge Starting Pictures

If I doubted the efficacy of Jamaican black castor oil, my edges are more than a prove that jbco indeed works. When I tried a different growth oil on my edges for a month, I didn't see any progress so I'm beyond convinced that consistent use of jbco yields results. Because of this, I've decided to join another hair challenge by hairequest. I don't have any jbco challenge planned for this year so this is a good opportunity to get it done. I joined the hairequest Ultimate challenge. ULTIMATE LEVEL -  Apply castor Oil to your scalp atleast three times a week ·       -  Use castor oil to seal after moisturizing your hair ·       -  Add a few drops to a tablespoon of castor oil to your deep conditioner ·         -Use castor oil in your prepoo mix or on its own as a hot oil treatment.

How To Do Hot Oil Treatment

Image
As part of our group challenge, we'll be doing hot oil treatments during this month. What is hot oil treatment? You simply heat up your oil a bit, apply to your strands, cover up with caps and either rinse the oil out or leave it in. The difference between this and prepoo is that the prepoo is meant to be done before shampoo and is not necessarily with oil. There will be about 4 hot oil treatments for July which will be part of either my wash day routine or co wash routine. I only have one day in the week to wear my hair out too so that will be when I can do the hot oil treatment. I have an already prepared hot oil treatment you'll get to know very soon! For now, let's call it "X factor" Lol.

How To Use Aphogee 2 Minutes Reconstructor On Natural Hair

Image
My review of the aphogee 2 minuted reconstructor was when I had relaxed hair. Now that I'm natural, I still use it. Even though natural hair is chemical free, there are other factors that might lead to protein depletion in the hair. For example, using a comb regularly can lead to protein loss. Also, too much moisture can cause moisture overload so you need to create a healthy balance. With the aphogee, I get to strengthen my natural hair too thereby preventing breakage. I know a lot of naturals sing about moisture, moisture but having this bit of protein guarantees a well balanced moisture- protein levels. How do I use the aphogee 2 minutes reconstructor? I share 2 methods and explain how to vi about it. [Youtube=https://youtu.be/k7U-q9MfzGs]

Queen Helene Avocado and Grapefruit Masque Review

Image
I've been sharing a few facial products with you for some time now. Here's is the review of queen Helene avocado and grapefruit masque which has bentonite clay. I've had this masque for more than a 2 years! However, with the changes in my facial routine, I don't think it will be available by the end of the year. I'd been slacking on it but since I got serious about getting a fresh, glowing face, I haven't looked back. It's been part of my weekly facial care routine and I'm glad to be using it the way it ought to be. Don't forget to comment.
