10 Relaxer Stretch Tips

Getting that long and healthy relaxed hair requires planning and journnaling your regimen. Relaxed hair thrives on a lot of practices that require time hence you need to determine what will work for you.


1. Plan the hair style you will be wearing to minimize manipulation and make wash days less stressful. 

2. Plan the products you'll need such that they are protein and moisture balanced. You'll need to prepare your products down to help you reach out for them when you need them. Don't wait till you are struggling before you go searching. 

3. Keep your hair moisturized even if you braid or weave it up. When strwtving your relaxer, breakage is the last thing you need. 

4. Cut down on weekly wash and stretch the washing to once every 2 weeks in order to prevent tangles and knots if possible. Less manipulation, less frustration. 

5. Do more green house effect to keep the new growth soft and manageable. 

6. Work in sections from washing to styling to limit tangles and knots. 

7. Do more hot oil treatments to soften the hair, which makes washing easier.

8. Do protein treatments at least twice a month to strengthen the hair and especially the line of demarcation.

9. Don't miss out on using hair bonnets. That prevents loss of moisture at night. 

10. Don't go over board with the stretch. Relaxer Stretch should be beneficial not detrimental to your hair. Once you feel stressed about it, end it. However, be sure to do at least 10 weeks.

    1. The method simply consists of using a shower cap to create a warm moist environment in which your natural body heat causes increased blood flow and your pores to open up for your hair to grow.

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...

The 60 Seconds Skin Care Rule

The 60 seconds rule regarding washing your face is a great technique that has been used by a lot of skin care addicts.  When washing your face, the one trick that can make a lot of difference in your skin is washing for 60 seconds! Once you apply your facial wash/cleanser/soap, you massage or sweep it around your face for 60 seconds. This allows the cleanser to penetrate the pores and clear the dirt off your skin. All the make up  can also be easily absorbed by your cleansing oil too. I began doing this technique a few weeks ago and it's definitely helped improve the feel of my skin after cleansing.  (check shop.ghanaianemprezz.com for all skin care products)
