How To Treat Balding

With the exception of aloepecia areata, other forms of hair loss may be self-inflicted. For a lot of ladies that request for hair growth products, the culprit is balding.

Hair loss as a result of braids, weaves, cornrows and wigs is quite rampant in Ghana. We have a long way to go as regards good hair practices but until our hair dressers are fuller on board, you owe it to yourself to give your hair with the most utmost care.

When after interactions you realized it's not genetics, I ask the customer to explain their hair routine as well as lifestyle. Usually, I advise they give the oils a try whilst improving on their diets as well as adding supplements. If these fail, then, they could seek medical interventions.
Most often, the problem gets resolved. So, why balding?

  • The bathing soap you use is too drying which causes breakage.

  • The right braids have to sleep. Request your stylist not to even braid the edges. Tight braid lead to hair loss.

  • Sleep scarfs, wig caps can also rub on the edges thereby causing hair loss.

  • Lace wigs and lace frontals can rub on the edges too.

As you eliminate these practices, you can look into hair vitamins and hair growth oil mixtures to hwko restore your hair loss.

Years of braids have caused my hair loss at the hair line. As a result of this, I'm staying away from braids until they are fully restored.

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.

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...
