Twisted up with Whole Foods

One thing about the Whole Foods Market in the area I was visiting was that the selection was really slim. They did not even have any NOW solution essential oils. However, one brand caught my eye...

Everyday Shea 
Everyday Coconut

Both product lines was made by Alaffia. What made me interested in these products was the community empowerment and the support that the funds made from the sale offers to women in the country of Togo. If you are interested in this information, click HERE.

All these products are paraben free, no synthetic fragrance, no animal testing, and fair trade. The 32 oz bottles each cost around $8.99 (it was on sale, normally $13.99)

I saw some Cocoa butter. I have heard some people mixing this with their shea butter. 

I also saw a HUGE jar of Bentonite clay. Pretty cool. If I like a product, I love getting HUGE bottles of them.

...and the hair....?

I started twisting my hair in small twists and then had to leave to go somewhere... luckily for me, I had packed my beanie hat... Created a pompadour, and off we went...


I finished my twist, after dinner.. and here is how it looked like. By the way, all I applied to my hair was a mist of water and whipped shea butter. My hair felt SO soft and shiny!! Yeah!
While I was trying to get a view of the back of my hair... guess who snuck into the background...

      Thank you!.. The funny thing is that the pompadour and hat style was to hide the unfinished twists. Maybe I should wear it like that more often.. LOL!

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
