Let's Talk About Hair Care


Its been a while I know! My apologies I have been so busy with school lately ( priorities), however I'm back with a brief talk about hair and natural hair.
Okay, I'm going on a healthy hair journey. Aside from an occasional sew in, I am natural my hair has never been chemically processed in any way shape or form. That's like a recipe for automatic healthy hair right?......WRONG! I've neglected the general health of my hair by sew-ins, gelled styles and other styles that went against my hair regime.



SO! that brings me to Hairfinity. if you're not familiar with the product, Hairfinity is a vitamin supplement that is filled with tons of Biotin, and other vitamins that will encourage healthy hair growth. Hairfinity is pretty renowned especially among the stars such as Jennifer Williams, Toya Wright and Porsha Williams just to name a few off the top of my head. I started these vitamins about a week ago and some of the immediate side effects I experienced was a tingling in my scalp and that was about it for now. I know this was a side effect because I goggled it and other users were experiencing that as well, so I know it's not just in my head. The only warning that I got while researching that was completely unanimous was that the pills may break you out, however there is a simple fix to that, and that is to drink plenty of PLENTY OF water. When you intake a substantial amount of vitamins your body will flush out toxins and by drinking water you are flushing out any toxins in your body at a faster pace. If you do not drink water the toxins will come out of your pores and form of pimples yuckkkk. I mean drinking water is probably the most annoying part of the whole vitamin regime. Its not the drinking water part, because since I'm on a path to healthy eating I drink only water anyway, its more so the fact that it is recommended to drink A LOT of water, therefore i have developed a frequent urination problem. :(. All in all I have noticed hair growth already, I'm not sure if it is because of Hairfinity or because I cut my hair and hair cuts tend to make your hair grow faster ( I don't know if its scientifically proven).

Along with taking hair vitamins I also changed my hair routine. When my hair is not in a weave I go to a local Dominican Hair Salon. The Dominican Hair Salon use to wash and condition my hair then I would sit directly in the chair, she would then blow out my hair and then flat iron it. After getting my last weave over a month ago, I noticed that when she flat ironed my hair it seemed thinner than normal and for two weeks it was bone straight, no volume or anything and I have kinky curly hair. Well I decided to switch it up and get a roll and set in which she would have me sit under the dryer with rollers after washing my hair, I would then sit in the chair and have her blow it out and then have her LIGHTLY flat iron it. This new method definitely gave my hair more volume and made it seem more thick.

NEW PRODUCT ALERT: 
We all know that heat on any type of hair is detrimental right? Now what if I told you that I know a specific flat iron brand that will leave your hair sleek and shinny while not causing any damages- you wouldn't believe me would you? 
Let me put you guys on to a new flat iron that I purchased and fell in love with. It is called the Plug-In-GED 1" ceramic flat iron, it has 5 heat settings to insure that you wont burn your hair. On the box it indicates the appropriate heat ranges which would be applicable to your hair type ( straight, processed, or natural kinky/ curly). My hair is natural and the flat iron worked perfect under the lower heat settings which I loved because I am ( just like everyone else) trying to minimize the amount of heat possible to make my hair straight and this flat iron is the first to accomplish that for me. This flat iron also has a rotating handle/cord which makes curling so much more easier. Prior to getting this flat iron I would attempt to curl my hair with my flat iron and it would create these weird bendy/ dent like shapes in my hair, but this flat iron flows smoothly into the curl in which you desire. 
Now this hair flattening tool is a MUST BUY....not because of its functions because I've seen flatirons with these functions used my professional hair dressers and they were really expensive, about $100.00 and more. What makes this product a must buy is the fact that really inexpensive. I saw a similar flatiron at the mall for $120.00 this product is only $30.00! This flatiron is only while supplies last and they are selling rather quickly so I advise all you frugal fashionistas/hairistas to jump on this sale like NOW
