Growing Long Hair the Healthy Way
Ya'll know I can be long winded...so I'll try to keep this short, for your sake! I celebrated my 30th birthday this week! WHOOO HOOO! I'm going to do a personal post on that later, but right now I only have time to tell you about my last wash day. No prepoo again this week (eek!) because I'm reviewing some new products from Profectiv MegaGrowth. Shampooed with Profectiv MegaGrowth Stimulating Shampoo Deep conditioned with Profectiv … [Read more...]
One of my e-friends, Shay of Perfect Tresses, shared a photo via Facebook a while back of her ONE week progress using the Liquid Gold Hair Growth Oil. Like many of you, I'd seen their ads randomly around the internet but never paid too much attention. However, after seeing her obvious growth acceleration, I decided to order a bottle. I've been using it super consistently since April 22 (thank goodness for the blog as my hair journal) but I … [Read more...]
I refuse to be one of those healthy hair journeyers who does less and less with their hair as they grow; I am soooo not an airdry and bun kinda girl despite what I've become lately, lol! The whole point (for me) of growing my hair is to enjoy it...so by golly I'm gonna! I asked via the L4L Facebook page what I should do to my hair this week and my a slim margin, a flexi rod set was most requested. I shampooed with Giovanni Smooth as … [Read more...]
Again, this week I used my recently purchased Indian hair products. I mixed amla and brahmi powders with coconut oil and water, which worked very well as my prepoo, shampooed with Giovanni Smooth as Silk and followed with a moisturizing deep conditioner, the Vatika Naturals Virgin Olive Deep Treatment. I believe I have perfected how to apply amla and brahmi powders to my hair so I thought I'd share my "recipe" with everyone. Warming the … [Read more...]
As ya'll know, I've been totally into learning more about Indian hair products and the benefits of Ayurvedic herbs ever since doing a bit of research on amla. When I was in my local Indian grocery store, I grabbed a few products that I am experimenting with and I wanted to share with you. Below is my vlog going over each products, why I purchased it and my thoughts on it thus far. httpv://youtu.be/cOJDiawACGw Vatika Naturals Virgin … [Read more...]

Remember when wet wrapping was all the rage in the nineties? Well, I hated it. With a sincere and very deep passion. I remember the stylist wrapping my hair while it was sopping wet with a fine toothed comb no less! Then I would be directed to sit under the dryer for HOURS. After the first hour, they would check my (very thick) hair and realizing it was still damp, they'd use their fingers to disrupt the shape of the wrap so the air and … [Read more...]
My reasons for trying Amla: After doing my research on amla, I knew I would begin to incorporate not only it but other Indian hair products into my hair regimen. In short, amla has anti-fungal, bacterial and inflammatory properties, strengthens hair at the root, naturally darkens the hair and provides a lustrous shine (see the original post for more information). I decided to use Amla primarily to prevent (more) grey hairs and give a … [Read more...]
