So, if you have read my post before this one...you will know that 2014 will be my LAST year in my 20's. With that said, I am focusing on everything...mind, BODY, and soul. 2013 was such a MESSY year for me to say the least. Health scare, migraines, and just STRESSED about life itself. I know we all go through our own personal struggles. I am a VERY private person, and 85% of the time I can be dying on the inside and will nt let anyone know. I found out, when I do this..I am holding onto a lot of stress. A lot of inner stress. That stress was affecting my body (weight gain, hair began to become limp and I suffered a little bit of hair loss, and grey hairs started sprouting out of nowhere)!! When I started to really evaluate the situation, I knew something had to give, something had to change! I needed to FOCUS on myself...all of me. For many mothers out there, you know how this story goes...you have kids, your life kind of pauses, while all of your attention goes to your kids and your husband. My kids are older now and although I am not done raising them, they are now old enough that I can focus on ALL of me.
Hair to a woman is everything, kind of like putting clothes on in the morning. So when I realized stress was really affecting my hair and the follicles...I needed to step up to the plate. I wasn't happy with the state of my hair and people started to notice the difference in my hair. I had been good with my hair before; not using heat, and wearing it naturally curly. But as life went on, I wasn't treating my body right, let alone my hair. It has become so damaged. I started to research some things that I could start doing for my hair and scalp. I researched and YOU TUBED some videos.
Of the things that I found; the MAIN ones that help with hair growth and a healthy scalp are;
Rosemary
Tea Tree Oil
Peppermint Oil
Cedar Wood Oil
I purchased this EXACT Rosemary Conditioner::
*You can find this on Amazon*
After I washed my hair with my regular shampoo, I used this conditioner and after washing it out, my hair felt so light, clean, and moisturized. I just bought this...so I will need to do a update later to see if it has indeed helped with my hair growth, but only time will tell.
I also bought a similar Tea Tree Oil::
After you wash your hair (shampoo and conditioner) place a dime size of this oil in your palm and run together and gently massage into your scalp. You can repeat the process in the morning as well. I do it twice a day to make sure I lock in that oil in the hair follicles. When you have curly hair, your hair absorbs moisture twice as much as straight hair, which I have been reckless and forgetting about. Although I am mixed...I still have "African American" hair texture. So I need to treat it as such. So far, I have loved this product. Tea Tree Oil can be used on the skin as well. When I was younger, I remember buying this amazing tea tree oil from The Body Shop. It was soo good on my skin and never knew it would be as great on the scalp as well :) You can purcahse Tea Tree Oil from almost anywhere!!
Ladies, I hope this has helped you and don't be embarassed by this funk you're in with your hair. You are MORE than just the hair on your head! Remember that. Its also sometimes hereditary or could just be your age. As you age, your hair follicles shrink and become limp. Also, I know a lot of women who have just given birth go through hair loss. Its a hormonal thing. So if oyu just gave birth and notice some hair loss, then these two products could really help you. LIVE LIFE STRESS FREE and use any of these produts above that I have mentioned and it will help greatly!!
Remember to SMILE. Remember to LOVE yourself.
