From Thin To Thick Natural Hair

How do you get thick natural hair? 



1. Genetic factors: If you have fine strands or thin hair, one way to boost the thickness is with collagen, biotin and MSM. These work from within our bodies thereby promoting the overall health of our hair. You should also get some blood work done to eliminate other health conditions that may be causing the hair loss. 

2. Ayurveda herbs like henna, Brahmi, Ashwagandha can help thicken your hair. They don't give instant results, you need to consistently use them to get the results you want. These can be infused in your growth oils like Jamaican black castor oil. You can prepare hair mist and even mask with these herbs!


3. How you detangle your hair: There are several techniques in detangling natural hair. You'll need to find the one that works best for you. Whilst others prefer running water for detangling, some opt for conditioner or oil. 

4. Your styling tools: The tools eg fine tooth comb can use severe breakage leading to thin strands and not stretching properly can cause knots and tangles which also sets you back. 

5. Herbal teas: If you aren't a fan of vitamins, teas are a great option. From fenugreek to green tea, your hair will definitely get the benefits.

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.

This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...
