Last month I had a strong conviction that it's high time I had healthy hair.My hairline was slowly saying goodbye and the major thing my hair volume.I felt that my relaxed hair was really light and given that I have a small face I tend to prefer bulky or puffy hairstyles.I made a decision to do the big chop rather than transition.I'm not really sure if I should say it was the big chop because I had my relaxed hair cut off then remained with the growth which is now the mane I'm working on.
There is a lot of information out there about natural hair may leave you confused as hell.Different products high end - Cantu ,Shea moisture and the likes to the low end homemade avocado oil ,hot treatments and the likes .Different regimens the was ,co-wash leaving you in a dilemma.So I joined a very helpful group Tricia's naturals Kenya it's a closed group on Facebook and provides a lot of tips you can surely learn but I'll talk about that some other day.
I had to find out what my hair type 4B or is it 4C.I'll counter check.On a light note Kenyans can you relate to the form thiry four bae haha😂😂😂my hair is four bae lol .
The article is on hairline and volume growth.The products I've chosen to help me achieve this after much consultation include:
JAMAICAN BLACK CASTOR OIL
The crave about this product is just phenomenal.The before after pictures.The blog reviews and
youtube reviews are just epic .So I joined the bandwagon.I got my JBCO from mother of cosmetics at Kshs.1200.The benefits of castor oil include :
Strengthen and thicken eyebrows and lashes
Retain hair pigment
It gives your hair a darker and richer hue. Its ability of retaining needed moisture helps increase dark colour of your hair as well.
It helps to get rid of split ends
This oil contains many nutrients including vitamin E, omega-6 fatty acids, and other essential amino acids that can help treat and prevent split ends.
Treats dandruff and promotes healthy scalp
This is because the oil has anti fungal and antibacterial properties, it can fight pathogens and microorganisms, which cause the infection.
Hair growth
It contains ricinoleic acid content that helps promote blood circulating to the follicles, which will speed up the growing process to give you longer and thicker hair.
I use the castor oil twice daily and I also apply on my eyebrows I'm tired of drawing the Nike logo everyday 😂😂😂.
COCONUT OIL
This product has been the holy grail since time immemorial.There are varied options you can choose to use virgin coconut oil or processed.The benefits of coconut oil include
Lice prevention and treatment
Dandruff treatment .
Moisturizes dry hair.
Adds luster, shine and softness to the hair.
Prevents hair breakage and split ends, contributing to hair length.
Slows down hair loss.
The kentaste coconut oil retails at Kshs.465 currently but price varies according to size .The tropical coconut oil is mostly Kshs.100 an available in all retail stores.
OLIVE OIL
This is another product that is key if you want healthy hair.It is in two forms extra virgin which is basically in it's pure form and the processed olive oil .That is the best way I can try to explain.The benefits of olive oil include :
Helps to deal with dandruff
Softens the hair
Promotes hair growth
Relieves scalp itchiness
The extra virgin olive oil retails at around Kshs.400 while the ideal olive oil is Kshs.70 but the price varies according to size.
These are my starter pack products.The major thing is consistency.Find what works for your hair and do not overload your hair with products.This is what I'm considering in order to have healthy and voluminous hair and according to me length is not really a priority now..
