Hair no be Firewood

Do you think a tree just turns up as a firewood? There's the  saying that "body no be firewood". Well, i agree! You have to cut down the tree, allow it to dry up, take it home, chop it into pieces and then you have your end product - firewood. By the way, not every wood  can become firewood. How's firewood related to hair?

With our hair, we have fantasies that one day, we'll wake up and all that we have to do is brush our long "mane". We, however, forget  that the European ladies we strive to imitate have their own hair care system.
They spend time on forums reading about what to do to their hair. What do we do?
Wake up, *comb the hair, put it in a ponytail and off we go until the next wash day or touch up.

If it becomes boring, we get a weave-on, braids or any form of protective styles (PS). What we tend to neglect is the fact that these PS would come down one day and then our routine continues.
We don't read about what can cause traction aloepecia (a form of hair loss), brittle hair, or even the breakage  we still get with using our PS.
The cycle continues till we end up with Neck length (NL) hair then we start grumbling about how we are not naturally endowed with long hair!
We say that cheap things cost more. We tend to buy things at a cheap cost only to have a negative repercussion.
The sole aim of a hairdresser is to make profit and minimize loss. Decisions made concerning each hair product is geared toward maximizing profit and reducing loss.
If you are like me who can't afford a top class salon, your only choice is to go the salon shop which charges 3 Ghc for a touch up or wash.
The hairdressers in most of these salons opt for the cheapest conditioners on the market.  To make matters worse,  they over dilute these conditioners to make them last longer.Since the effectiveness of the conditioner is drastically reduced, it doesn't do its work. At the end of the day, your hair doesn't benefit from the conditioner though you pay for what has been used.
You might experience dryness, breakage and brittleness as a result of the conditioner.
Won't you rather buy your own conditioner and take it to the salon to ensure that the health of your hair is not comprised?

What are you going to do different to get your hair to give the results you want?

Let's be active!

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. Most protein treatments are conditioning treatments. They can come be a deep conditioner, light, or reconstructor (heavy) (source:https://www.naturallycurly.com)  This placenta for hair acts as a protein reconstructor!

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride. I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own. When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface. One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...
