3 Ways To Use Henna On Your Hair

By
Where are my henna fans? In today's post, I'm going to point out 3 ways to use henna on your hair to avoid setbacks.
A lot of readers have inundated me with questions regarding where to purchase henna and how to use it.
I can say that out of experience, there are several factors to consider before henna application.
***Do you want a dye release such that you end up with some colour like I had? When the dye is released, you get a reddish tint it hue.
***Do you want just a gloss? Then, don't leave it to sit for long. As soon as you mix your henna, apply, leave it on for just some minutes and rinse.
***Do you want black hair? Add indigo( check African Emprezz on Facebook)
***You can mix a bit of henna in your conditioner to strengthen your hair; just don't use too much else you'll get a dye release.
**Be sure to deep condition your hair after the treatment IF you were aiming for dye release else be ready for hard, straw like hair.
After all is said and done, the choice to use henna shouldn't be a one off thing. Read and read about it before application.

    I added coconut milk, egg and my oils to the henna before applying it on my hair. I did not deep condition after but my hair felt soft and I enjoyed it.

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! This means it's a hard protein treatment  and should therefore strengthen y...

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...
