New Hair Products Wash Day

Image
By

Whilst changing hair products too frequently is the hallmark for some, there are others like me who hold on to products for too long!

To change that narrative, I’ve added a whole new range of products to enhance moisture retention. 


There is Giovanni 50:50 shampoo and moisture conditioner, grape seed and avocado oil, neutralizing shampoo and conditioner, As I  Am So much moisture and Ultra growth oil from Difeel, Maui hibiscus shampoo, bamboo shampoo and Tresemme conditioner and Mieele Organics hair butter (probably my first time of using butter). 

The main reason for such changes is  that I’ve used up some of the old products. In addition, my hair isn’t in the same state as it was some months ago hence I need to find new products to suit the current state. 

This week’s wash began with the Profectiv mega growth neutralizing shampoo to clarify the hair. I followed with sheamoisture manuka honey mask and then rinsed off. I covered the hair with shower cap for some minutes and  applied ultra growth oil and covered with shower cap for it to get absorbed. 

By night time, the hair felt quite dry therefore I used the As I Am So Much Moisture together with avocado oil and covered with a shower cap again overnight. I need to get back into the habit of wearing hair bonnets to protect the hair at night or possibly scarf and bonnet together. Also, I’ll be doing a lot of greenhouse effect to retain more moisture as the harmattan season sets in. 

This time, I’ve set the target for the hair length at armpit length and beyond by December 2022! It sounds quite ambitious and that’s the whole point! I want to challenge myself to the extreme!

During the week, I got the hair cornrowed. This will last for 2 weeks then I take down, wash and rebraid.


I still use the Ayurveda herbal water as a hair mist and if I get my own hair cornrowed again, it will come in handy.

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...
