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 To choose The Ordinary Vitamin C Serum

If you missed the post on the types of vitamin C serums carried by The Ordinary, then, just go through it and come back to this. Paula's Choice and The Ordinary seem to have a lot in common when it comes to formulations and I love that! Let's start with the highest form which is the L-ascorbic acid. This is found in the The Ordinary Vitamin C silicone and vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%.   Much like our Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% formula, this product also offers a suspension but in light silicones for a smooth, non-gritty skin finish. Despite the very light forms of silicones used, silicones do impair dermal exposure to Vitamin C slightly but the additional (30%) concentration of Vitamin C helps compensate for this slight inefficiency. A very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated. If desired, this formula can be diluted in a cream base pe...
