ACV RINSE PREPOO

Image
By
Apple cider vinegar  is quite popular in the hair care world for its ability to help with restoring PH of the hair. The most common use is usually after washing, as a last step treatment in the form of a rinse. However, you can use it as a pre shampoo rinse too and that's what I did during this wash. 


To begin the wash, I diluted apple cider vinegar with water and drenched the hair with it. I used one cup of water and one teaspoon of the vinegar. 
I covered with a shower cap for close to 30 minutes. I needed my scalp to really get the detox. 

[1] To cleanse, I use groganics deep freeze shampoo and conditioner to detox the follicles and stimulate it too. 



[2]To hydrate the hair, I just applied The Ordinary multipeptide hair serum to the scalp and let the hair dry. 


As simple as the wash is, the next wash will be more involving as I have to deep condition. The Silicone Mix is an amazing deep conditioner; my hair loves it and it's a must have for me now. 



I'm currently a few days post relaxer hence washing is a breeze. The next relaxer is scheduled for 21st July, about 10 weeks stretch. After the next wash, I'll be visiting the salon for straw set again.
I don't intend to mess with my hair  the straw sets will prolong the wash intervals.

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 I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

By
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...
