To have a successful detangling section is the dream of every lady on a healthy hair journey and in this post, I share 4 tips for successful detangling.


  1. Select your detangling method. This could be dry or wet detangling, finger or comb detangling or a combination of some or all of these methods. At each stage of your hair growth, one or more methods may be better to accomplish a successful detangling process. Dry Finger detangling involves removing the knots, shed hair and tangles prior to the application of any product, especially, before shampoo. It is done with the aid of oil or slightly damp hair. Wet detangling as the name suggests involves the use of a detangling product such as conditioner. It may also involve detangling under running water. You may choose to use only your fingers or a comb in any of these methods. You can also combine both.


  2. Select Products ahead of time:
    For Dry Finger detangling, the major products you will need are oils of which coconut oil is key. You will need a good amount of oil to produce the slip needed in order to make the dry detangling easier. For comb detangling, a conditioner with slip will make the process less tedious. Plus, a wide teeth comb is needed for easy detangling.


  3. Check your nails:
    It's critical to have no chipped nails if you want to use your fingers to detangle. I prefer to keep the right hand nails, especially, short since I tend to do most of my chores with that hand. For the left, I file the ends to remove any chipped portions. Failure to do so will cause snagging which can result in breakage, and split ends. These two are detrimental to length and retention which is the aim of finger detangling in the first place. For comb detangling, a seamless comb has been noted to be the best. However, I've recently found that wooden combs also don't snag your hair so it might worth a try. I pray our sellers bring in seamless combs too.

  4. Make time
    Detangling is a very crucial part of any wash so you ought to allocate some time for it. For those stretching their relaxers, improper detangling can undo all the length you've gained if your hair. You will also have breakage at the line of demarcation - where the relaxed and natural hair meet. For naturals, improper detangling can make styling impossible. A well detangled hair cuts down on the wash itself.

    I try not to detangle my hair when I'm in a hurry. Always leads to more breakage!

Placenta In Your Hair

By
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

By
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...
