For a background information, this is a description of my hair: Relaxed hair. I leave my relaxer on for 15 – 20 minutes before rinsing it off. This time includes the application AND the smoothing time. High porosity. This means that my hair easily absorbs moisture but also loses it easily. On the other hand, if you have low porosity hair, it means that your hair doesn’t easily absorb moisture…
Thank you for following our review of 2014. I am responding to Ebun’s post on 2015 goals. My 2015 hair goals are: Thicker hair. I hope to achieve this by continuing to: ‘texlax my hair’ use protein conditioners use essential oils + Lavender Jamaican black castor oil Trim off remaining inches of bone straight relaxed hair Full APL. Even though I will be trimming my hair this year, I still hope I…
Hello wonderful people. Over the last few days, we have been doing a 2014 review on the blog and this is the last post in that series. I just want to round up by telling you my 10 favourite products in 2014. Shescentit blueberry co-wash conditioner. This gently cleanses my hair, leaving it incredibly soft. 100% pure Argan oil Shescentit curl moist conditioner. Really softens my hair. Pura body naturals…
At the beginning of 2014, I had certain goals which I will review below: Goal 1: If my hair thinning doesn’t show any obvious improvement, I will go see a dermatologist. My hair is no longer thinning and I think that the thinning areas are filling in. I believe this is mainly from my regular use of essential oils. Essential oils and hair loss Goal 2: Do a 6-month stretch between relaxer touch…
Lavender Jamaican black castor oil. An oldie but a goodie. I prefer this to the regular plain Jamaican black castor oil because of the additional lavender. Jamaican black castor oil serum with argan oil. Also an oldie but a goodie. 🙂 Lush Cosmetics Caca Noir henna. I have an unpublished post on how I used this and I promise it to publish it in a few days. This replaces my…
Hi dear people. Last year was a major year of experimenting for me and I tried my hands at mixology. I really really enjoyed the results I got but I have decided to simplify my regimen as much as I can (it’s still a bit long but better I think. Plus, mixing up stuff takes up my time when I can just use an already manufactured conditioner. THIS YEAR, I…
Rhassoul clay: It was a nice product to experiment with but I am trying to streamline my regimen and it just doesn’t fit in. PLUS it is extremely hard to rinse out (in my opinion). Ayurvedic powders – brahmi and alma. The same thing I said about rhassoul clay applies to my ayurvedic products. Regular henna: My hair was becoming too red and I don’t have time to do henna…
Blow drying: I enjoyed learning how to blow dry my hair using a method I saw on YouTube by Reniece TV. I will only do this occasionally because it takes me too long. Ain’t nobody got time for long styling! Flat ironing: I did this once last year and it left my hair feeling smooth. I think I will do this a bit more often this year (with enough protection…
Hi guys. 2014 has been a year of experimenting for me. Yeah experimenting. When I cut my hair last year, I felt so liberated and was no longer driven to grow my hair long. My main hair goal became healthy looking hair. This year, I have delved my hands in different techniques and products. Over my next few posts, I will be discussing the techniques and products I tried out…
