  Today I had to do an impromptu wash day, just 5 days since my last wash day . Why?  I was testing a hair oil that my scalp did not like. It felt as if it was on fire. It is possible that I might have used too much of the oil because I had used the oil in the past mostly on my edges and I did not have this same feeling. This time, I applied it to my scalp and did a scalp massage. I did not wash off. It was not required or stated on the product. Long story short, I decided to wash my hair. I started by first examining my scalp. I recorded the video and will edit it and put it on my YouTube channel DiscoveringNatural this week.  I then detoxed my scalp with Revair Detox Pre-Wash Rinse . I shampooed with Sheamoisture JBCO shampoo. I use Manetain Hair Mask as my deep conditioner for 30 mins under a plastic cap. No heat.  Rinsed and then used Revair Leave in Conditioner.  I plan to twist my hair later this evening.  As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases when you click

Vitamin B Complex does contain vitamins that can help prevent hair loss, such as biotin and vitamin B12. Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, helps create red blood cells which carry oxygen and nutrients to the scalp and hair follicles. Vitamin B12 is also essential for hair growth as a deficiency in it may lead to hair loss.  However, it is important to note that while a deficiency in vitamin B12 may lead to hair loss, there is no evidence to suggest that taking a supplement will improve hair growth if you are not deficient. To know if you are deficient, you need to get a bloodwork done by your doctor.

@naecurly  There are several reasons why you may experience dandruff when wearing box braids: If you want one on one help with your hair, you can use this link to contact me  http://bit.ly/NaturalHairCoach 1. Traction alopecia: The constant tension on your hair follicles from the braids can lead to inflammation and irritation, causing dandruff. 2. Product buildup: Braids can trap hair products, oils, and dirt, leading to buildup and irritation on the scalp. 3. Reduced scalp circulation: The tight braids can restrict blood flow to the scalp, causing irritation and flaking. 4. Scalp irritation: The constant rubbing and tugging of the braids on your scalp can cause irritation and lead to dandruff. 5. Fungal infections: The warm, moist environment created by the braids can encourage fungal growth, leading to dandruff. To prevent dandruff when wearing box braids, try: 1. Using a gentle shampoo and conditioner. 2. Applying a scalp serum or oil to help reduce tension and promote circulation.

  (Last wash day February 5th) Detangling and Prepoo I started by detangling my hair with the Look Don’t Touch conditioner. After detangling one section, I twist it up. I did about 6 twists. Shampoo After that I rinsed my hair and use Shea Moisture JBCO shampoo to remove any product buildup. I first apply the shampoo to my scalp and then rinse. Then I apply a small amount of shampoo to the rest of my hair and squeeze then rinse. Deep Conditioning Treatment I applied Manetain Hair Mask to my washed twists and covered my hair with a plastic cap and heated cap. Left on for 30 minutes and  then rinse. Moisturizing I unraveled each twist and Esha Naturals Leave In Conditioner generously, and put more to the ends of my hair.  I sealed on the other Tailored Beauty Grow Thick Oil.

  @curliekaye Moisturizing and hydrating natural hair are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference: Moisturizing focuses on adding and locking in moisture to the hair shaft, usually through the use of creams, butters, and oils. Hydrating, on the other hand, emphasizes maintaining and replenishing the water content within the hair, often through the use of water-based products, leave-in conditioners, and hydrating treatments. Basically, Hydration relates to the health of the inside of your hair strand, while moisture works to protect the outside. In essence, moisturizing helps to seal and protect the hair, while hydrating helps to replenish and retain water inside the hair. Both are important for healthy, thriving natural hair.

 Wearing headwraps can both positively and negatively affect the health of your natural hair. Positive effects: • Protection from damage: Headwraps can protect your hair from daily manipulation and breakage. • Retention of moisture: Headwraps can help retain moisture and keep your hair hydrated. • Protection from the environment: Headwraps can shield your hair from pollution, dust, and UV rays. Negative effects: • Tension on the hairline: Too-tight headwraps can cause tension on the hairline, leading to hair loss or thinning. • Scalp irritation: Headwraps can cause friction and irritation on the scalp, leading to itchiness or redness. • Traction alopecia: Frequent and prolonged use of tight headwraps can lead to traction alopecia (hair loss due to constant tension). To enjoy the benefits while minimizing risks, wear headwraps in moderation, choose breathable fabrics, and ensure they aren't too tight. Also, take regular breaks from headwraps to give your hair and scalp a rest.
