Ghanaian Emprezz

I've been chilling with The Ordinary products a lot and it's been amazing delving into skin care over the past few months. To start, I use an inexpensive face wash from Beauty Formulas and then follow with either Thayers Rose petal toner or Dear Klairs supple predation toner, then, The Ordinary Vitamin c 23% suspension wit HA Spheres 2%. I allow the vitamin c serum to sink in. I don't follow up with any oil or moisturizer since the squalene oil in it is enough. That's the routine for night and for day, I use Niacinamide rather than the c serum. The 23% suspension is gritty hence I mix with hyaluronic acid before application and I use it at night since anything else will pill when you use the serum. During the day, I add a sunscreen and off to do my rounds. 2x a week, I cleanse and use The Ordinary lactic 10% with HA to exfoliate my skin. I cleanse, allow the skin to dry and put a few drops on the skin. I leave it and wash off in the morning. My skin ha

I'm back on the 30 day beauty secret vitamins rather than taking the biotin because I had very positive results which was very encouraging. When I initial had a bottle, I couldn't do the 3 times a day as directed but with a bit more time to spare, I'm able to manage it. The other advantage is that the packets will be easy to carry around so I don't have any excuse now. I'm not looking for hair growth though. I just want some balance in my body after taking only biotin for so long. I don't want to over do the biotin. If I do get extra growth, which is expected anyway, I'll be able to braid this hair as I wish! Wish me luck 😀

Protein deep conditioning is popularly called protein treatment. They are deep conditioners with protein to help strengthen the hair. ( Call or WhatsApp 0541458372 to buy one) There are 2 types of protein deep conditioners. The Hard Protein is done once every 6 months and some people use egg for that (stop doing the weekly egg treatment to prevent protein overload which will make your hair hard and cause severe breakage). These are very strong and are usually in the first five ingredients on the package. Eg keratin. The medium to light protein deep conditioners usually have protein ingredient in the middle or bottom of the ingredient list. Eg hydrolyzed silk. The steps . 1. Shampoo the hair and rinse out 2. Apply the hard protein and leave it as directed. Rinse out . 3. Follow with moisture deep conditioner else your hair will feel hard! 4. Rinse out and apply leave in conditioner and roller set . If you use a medium or light protein, you don't have to use a moistu

Deep conditioning also known as steaming in Ghana should be done at least once a month. Here's the sample routine at the salon. (Call or WhatsApp 0541458372 to buy any of these). 1. She will shampoo the hair and rinse out . 2. Then , she will apply your moisturizing deep conditioner (Usually doesn't have protein in the first ingredients). This means the steaming cream will provide more moisture. 3. Leave the deep conditioner for the duration stipulated on the package and then rinse out. Most of them require sitting under the dryer for 30 minutes. 4. Allow the hair to cool down and rinse out, apply the leave in conditioner and oil and roller set. That's it!

This wash process has to do with doing a tea rinse and going to the salon. A tea rinse helps with shedding. Brew your tea(no milk nor sugar) and allow to cool. Now, take it to the salon. (Call or WhatsApp 0541458372 to purchase any of these products). 1. She shampoos the hair and rinse out. 2. She will pour the tea on your hair and leave it for about 5 minutes without washing it out. 3. She will apply the conditioner as the tea is in the hair and leave for 3 minutes . 4. She will rinse out the conditioner 5. She will apply the leave in conditioner, hair oil and setting lotion and roller set the hair . Are the steps clear enough? Comment below and share this with friends too.

This series is to guide those who go to our hair dressers and don't know how to follow the wash steps. I'll be doing about 10 posts to cover all the diy and other things you try to incorporate at home during your wash. Let's begin with a regular wash. The boot camp routine. (Call or WhatsApp 0541458372 for a wash set ) 1. Let the stylist shampoo your hair using your product or her product. She will rinse out the shampoo. 2. Let her follow with the conditioner and leave it for 3 minutes. 3. She will wash out the conditioner and follow with Leave in Conditioner and setting lotion. 4. She will roller set your hair 5. When the hair is out of the rollers, she will apply your hair growth oil on your scalp and your hair oil on the hair itself. I prefer using the oil on the hair during the setting of the rollers. (It is able to infuse into the hair as it dries). That's it for the relaxed hair wash.

In case you have relaxed hair and wondering if you can use chebe powder the answer is a yes. All you need is to be able to plait your hair or twist up. You can also use cornrows. To prepare the chebe mixture, add a few tablespoon full to a creamy product. I usually recommend your moisturizer or butter for a good hold. Shampoo and condition your hair well and apply the chebe mixture. Plait up the hair and leave it for at least 7 days before reapplying the chebe mixture. When you are ready to wash out, which could be in a month or whenever you want, just shampoo the hair and condition as usual. You can use the mixture again for another couple of weeks. In case you need chebe powder or chebe oil, call or whatsapp 0541458372.

If you've not tried collagen supplements, this is the best time to do so. Collagen helps in diverse ways but the key ones I've personally experienced are thicker hair and glowing skin! Within a few days of taking the collagen tablet, a lot of colleagues remarked that I was glowing so much! That was the first time I've had so many comments about my skin in a day! In addition to that, I notice my hair got thicker and darker. The pigmentation of the dark colour was the best I'd seen since my high school days. With these benefits, I always ensure I take at leat 2 tablets a day in addition to the Hairfinity vitamins. You'll get the neocell collagen as well as the Dr's Best Collagen Powder and Tablet at shop.ghanaianemprezz.com or call or whatsapp 0541458372 to order.

The excitement over seeing the actual hair growth oil from Tropic Isle Living was simply unimaginable! I mean after several years, they've finally made one oil purposely for our hair to boost growth. I've seen a lot of growth from my own ESO scalp oil so I always expect other hair growth oils to be that potent. When I used the Ecoco Flaxseed and castor growth oil, I was a bit disappointed with that so I'm hoping this makes up for it. My first impression: it tingles a bit, smells slightly minty too. The smell doesn't linger so I'm certain those who hated the Jamaican Black Castor Oil will love this one. I guess the makers listened to the complaints of customers. Have you tried this new black castor hair growth oil? Should you want one, call or whatsapp 0541458372 to order or visit shop.ghanaianemprezz.com to order.

On my lifestyle blog, beyondlifestyle.blogspot.com, I've shared my 20 days of collagen for my skin. I do know collagen affects hair growth too hence I'll be on the lookout out for the growth I can get. I'm taking the msm vitamins but these two together will definitely be an amazing experiment. . As stated on the package, the body uses collagen and after a while, it gets depleted. By supplementing, I will be boosting collagen production in the body which will certainly trickle down to the hair too. In the nutshell, I want to see the impact of this non biotin vitamin too just as I did for the msm vitamins.

At this time of the year, we are all still pushing for length and growth using our oils . However, if you are impatient like me, you may want to try this method.  I, typically, use one oil at a time but I noticed that it makes it difficult to use up others and at the same time, deprive my hair of the benefits the other oils provide. Hence, I decided to combine all my hair oils again. The last time I did that was about 3 years ago. So, I mixed up all 6 oils - ESO scalp oil  Jamaican Black Castor Oil, flaxseed and black castor oil from Ecoco, Avocado and carrot oil, chebe oil and wild growth oil. The essence is to benefit from these products all at once! I saw some old pictures of my natural hair back in 2012 and I realized I wasn't on supplements at that time yet I did use a mixture of oils so that's what I aim to achieve again.  Your can click  Our shop   to purchase your oil too. I want to use the oil mix up within 6 months so all the best to me.  PS : I have about a litre if

Have you heard of Hairfinity hair vitamins? This is the next supplement I will be taking as the mane choice is almost done. During the second week of the mane choice, I got break outs smh. After the msm, I'll add collagen powder to review for you too. After that, I have natrol hair skin and nails vitamins as the last one for this year. By that time, I should have enough length to braid this year I'm officially over short hair. I've enjoyed it for almost 2 years and now I'm good to go with braids. I just want to keep my hoarding tucked away for the rest of the year to allow it grow out faster and retain more length. This natural hair journey has to be successful for me. I want to be able to wear buns and updos again. I'm 3 weeks post cut and I have about 1/2 inch of growth already! I'm hoping to gain more from the msm ; something that will make a huge difference because it has no biotin and I know a lot of ladies would love to see growth without biotin. As

I've been in these zip braids for 2 weeks already; my scalp is fine, my hairline is full and overall, I notice growth coming in. What do I do to increase hair growth whilst in protective style? 1. Stay consistent with hydration both internal and external. I drink more than 2 litres of water as often as possible and spray the hair with rosewater and guava leaves brewed in water. 2. Take your vitamins be it multivitamins, hair growth vitamins or just good old folic acid. Whatever the case, just keep your body healthy and ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for cell renewal and healthy hair. 3. Keep the scalp unclogged. In as much as I Iove using hair oils, I don't go hard on them when I'm unable to properly wash the scalp. I use the ESO scalp oil about 3 to 4 times a week. I apply it daily on the edges as it's easy to cleanse that part. 4. Lastly, clean the scalp regularly to prevent build up. Truth be told, I have been able to clean mine
