Here are some tips to prevent or minimize yellowing of gray hair:<p></p><p><br /></p><p>1. Use a <a href="https://amzn.to/3TswQeN" target="_blank">color-depositing shampoo</a>: These shampoos deposit a small amount of color onto the hair to neutralize yellow tones and maintain a healthy, natural color.</p><p>2. Use a <a href="https://amzn.to/3PiSEaj" target="_blank">purple-based shampoo</a>: Purple is the opposite of yellow on the color wheel, so using a purple-based shampoo can help cancel out yellow tones in the hair.</p><p>3. Avoid using hot water: Hot water can open up the hair cuticle, allowing oxidation to occur and leading to yellowing. Use cool or warm water instead.</p><p>4. Reduce use of heat styling tools: Heat styling tools can damage the hair and cause yellowing. Try to limit your use of these tools or use a heat protectant spray to prevent damage.</p><p>5. Use a <a href="https://amzn.to/49PhHtR" target="_blank">toning conditioner</a>: Toning conditioners can help neutralize yellow tones in the hair and maintain a natural color.</p><p>6. Consider using a hair color protectant: These products can help lock in your natural color and prevent yellowing.</p><p>7. Avoid using harsh hair products: Avoid using products that contain alcohol, peroxide, or other harsh ingredients, as these can damage the hair and lead to yellowing.</p><p>8. Get regular trims: Regular trims can help prevent split ends and breakage, which can lead to yellowing.</p><p>9. Eat a healthy diet: A diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote healthy hair growth such as biotin and vitamin E, can help maintain healthy, natural-looking hair.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">If you want one on one help with your hair, you can use this link to contact me <a href="http://bit.ly/NaturalHairCoach">http://bit.ly/NaturalHairCoach</a></span></p><p>Remember, preventing yellowing of gray hair requires ongoing maintenance and care.

Allergic reaction: Some people may be allergic to aloe vera or its compounds, leading to an allergic reaction and itching.</p><p>2. Irritation: Aloe vera contains anthraquinones, which can irritate the scalp and cause itching, redness, and inflammation.</p><p>3. pH imbalance: Aloe vera has a high pH level, which can disrupt the scalp's natural pH balance and lead to itching and irritation.</p><p>4. Over-drying: Aloe vera can strip the scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness and itching.</p><p>5. Sensitivity to other ingredients: Some aloe vera products may contain additional ingredients that can cause itching or irritation.</p><p>6. Overuse: Using too much aloe vera or applying it too frequently can lead to scalp irritation and itching.</p><p>7. Hair or scalp conditions: Certain hair or scalp conditions, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, can make the scalp more sensitive and prone to itching when using aloe vera.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you experience itching after using aloe vera on your scalp, try the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Reduce usage or dilute the aloe vera with water.</p><p>2. Discontinue use and switch to a gentler product.</p><p>3. Perform a patch test before applying aloe vera to your entire scalp.</p><p>4. Consider using a fragrance-free and hypoallergenic aloe vera product.</p><p>5.

Sensitive scalp: Some people may have a sensitive scalp that reacts to the natural compounds in aloe vera, such as anthraquinones, which can cause irritation or burning.</p><p>2. Allergic reaction: You might be allergic to aloe vera or one of its components, leading to an allergic reaction and burning sensation.</p><p>3. Over-application: Using too much aloe vera or applying it too frequently can cause irritation and discomfort.</p><p>4. Incorrect concentration: Using a highly concentrated aloe vera product can be too harsh on the scalp, leading to burning.</p><p>5. Combination with other products: Mixing aloe vera with other hair care products or using it after using another product can cause a reaction or irritation.</p><p>6. Hair or scalp conditions: Certain hair or scalp conditions, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, can make the scalp more sensitive and prone to burning when using aloe vera.</p><p>7. Quality of aloe vera: Using low-quality or processed aloe vera products that contain additives or impurities can cause irritation.</p><p><br /></p><p>To alleviate the burning feeling, try the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Dilute the aloe vera with water before applying.</p><p>2. Start with a small amount and gradually increase as needed.</p><p>3. Use a pure, high-quality aloe vera product.</p><p>4. Avoid combining aloe vera with other hair care products.</p><p>5. Discontinue use if the burning persists or worsens.</p><p>6. Consider performing a patch test on a small area of your scalp before applying aloe vera to your entire head.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, everyone's scalp and hair are different, so it's essential to monitor your body's reaction and adjust your usage accordingly.

Dandruff is a common condition characterized by flakes of dead skin on the scalp, and a dry scalp can exacerbate this issue. When the scalp is dry, it can lead to an overproduction of skin cells, which can then flake off and cause dandruff. Additionally, a dry scalp can also lead to irritation and inflammation, which can further contribute to dandruff.<p></p><p><br /></p><p>Other factors that can contribute to dandruff include:</p><p>* <a href="http://discoveringnatural.blogspot.com/2024/01/can-oiling-your-scalp-too-much-cause.html" target="_blank">Overproduction of oil (sebum)</a></p><p>* Yeast overgrowth (Malassezia)</p><p>* Sensitivity to hair care products</p><p>* Hormonal imbalances</p><p>* Stress</p><p>* Poor diet</p><p>* Skin conditions (such as eczema or psoriasis)</p><p><br /></p><p>It's important to note that dandruff can be a complex issue, and addressing a dry scalp alone may not completely eliminate the problem.

In fact, grey hair is a natural part of the aging process, and many people have grey hair without any underlying health issues. However, in some cases, premature grey hair (before the age of 30) can be a sign of an underlying health issue, such as:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Genetics: As with many other traits, early grey hair can run in families.</p><p>2. Vitamin deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins such as B12, vitamin D, and copper can contribute to premature grey hair.</p><p>3. Thyroid problems: An underactive or overactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) can cause premature grey hair.</p><p>4. Autoimmune diseases: Certain autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata or lupus, can cause premature grey hair.</p><p>5. Stress: Chronic stress can lead to premature grey hair, as it can deplete the body's stores of vitamins and minerals.</p><p>6.

Embrace your natural texture: Love your hair in its natural state, whether it's curly, kinky, or straight.</p><p>2. Use gentle products: Choose products that are free from harsh chemicals, sulfates, and parabens.</p><p>3. Moisturize regularly: Keep your hair hydrated with a leave-in conditioner or hair oil.</p><p>4. Protect your hair from heat: Use a heat protectant when styling with heat tools, and limit your use of heat styling.</p><p>5. Go easy on manipulation: Avoid excessive combing, brushing, or handling your hair, as this can cause breakage.</p><p>6. Use a wide-tooth comb: A wide-tooth comb is gentler on your hair and will not cause as much breakage.</p><p>7. Keep your hair trimmed: Regular trims will help prevent split ends and breakage.</p><p>8. Be gentle when detangling: Use a gentle, finger-detangling method to prevent breakage.</p><p>9. Use a silk or satin pillowcase: These materials can help reduce frizz and prevent breakage while you sleep.</p><p>10. Embrace your hair's uniqueness: Everyone's hair is different, and that's what makes it beautiful. Embrace your hair's unique texture, pattern, and style.</p><p>11. Learn to style your hair: Learn how to style your hair in a way that works for your texture, whether it's twist-outs, braid-outs, or bantu knots.</p><p>12. Don't over-manipulate: Avoid over-manipulating your hair with too many styles, products, or tools.</p><p>13. Keep your hair moisturized: Use a hydrating mask or deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep your hair moisturized.</p><p>14. Protect your hair from the sun: Use a hair sunscreen or wear a hat to protect your hair from UV damage.</p><p>15. Be patient: Natural hair growth is a journey, and it takes time to see results. Be patient and gentle with your hair, and it will thrive.</p>DiscoveringNaturalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12728855219299634429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249984460490558459.post-59682185395460318392024-02-28T05:37:00.001-06:002024-02-28T05:37:06.865-06:0017 Amazing Things You Will Find at Aldi<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm72Qc0Ro4VP6FV1sXpigATUXuuwvlnKZ5g-CysejsvXiX6E5lJpONL23fZkm-RVaooeUI-as9AVH0GJjGngIHGrt3HnNIJp1m-QhKlOvtWS3fpUl-vI1MR28OGBNDyGAAJIgjDh8bfHad5Rt-WlCOzNBHMkL0T89Z4SCbgYLJux8hg9OHklE7kRGeDlM/s640/IMG_9614.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="358" data-original-width="640" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm72Qc0Ro4VP6FV1sXpigATUXuuwvlnKZ5g-CysejsvXiX6E5lJpONL23fZkm-RVaooeUI-as9AVH0GJjGngIHGrt3HnNIJp1m-QhKlOvtWS3fpUl-vI1MR28OGBNDyGAAJIgjDh8bfHad5Rt-WlCOzNBHMkL0T89Z4SCbgYLJux8hg9OHklE7kRGeDlM/s320/IMG_9614.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Do you shop at Aldi?

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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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 <a href="Http://youtube.com/DiscoveringNatural" target="_blank">DiscoveringNatural</a> this week. I then detoxed my scalp with <a href="https://revair.pxf.io/DiscoveringNatural" target="_blank">Revair Detox Pre-Wash Rinse</a>. I shampooed with <a href="https://amzn.to/3IeUAwQ" target="_blank">Sheamoisture JBCO shampoo.</a> I use <a href="https://dollarcurlclub.refr.cc/discoveringnatural" target="_blank">Manetain Hair Mask </a>as my deep conditioner for 30 mins under a plastic cap.

Gentle cleansing agents: Look for shampoos with mild surfactants like Behentrimonium chloride, behentrimonium methosulfate, cetrimonium chloride, decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, or coco-glucoside. You could also opt for sulfate free.</p><p>2. Moisturizing ingredients: Ingredients like glycerin, panthenol, argan oil, and coconut oil help hydrate and nourish your hair.</p><p>3. pH balance: A pH level close to the natural pH of hair (around 5.5) ensures gentle cleaning without stripping hair of its natural oils.</p><p>4. Amino acids: Amino acids like keratin, arginine, and glutamic acid help repair and strengthen hair.</p><p>5. Antioxidants: Antioxidants like vitamin E, green tea, and chamomile help protect hair from environmental stressors and damage.</p><p>6. No harsh chemicals: Avoid shampoos with sulfates, parabens, silicones, and artificial fragrances, which can damage hair over time.</p><p>7. Suitable for your hair type: Choose a shampoo formulated for your specific hair type (normal, dry, oily, curly, etc.).</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, a good shampoo should clean your hair without stripping it of its natural oils, while also providing nourishment and protection.</p>DiscoveringNaturalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12728855219299634429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249984460490558459.post-46068030565094854532024-02-20T12:00:00.001-06:002024-02-20T12:00:00.131-06:00What to do When Your Natural Hair is Weak<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9wvv7WXNhmREuuJRsWK45TakEOS5tj81KEsToatZdAaxewMnB89de7xcifXuunfJNb8zDMSjbkTri3uHMuRz2DlvJBW_BtlJhCVSTDbw9S6O4U9G3c6uB6M9jB5-K50Al3s7o1nSkUblZKyK1jkTvDCyPwkdENt6P4nADTLoEr__Y1Z0_-WnOLSOaiWM/s1141/IMG_9312.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1141" data-original-width="828" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9wvv7WXNhmREuuJRsWK45TakEOS5tj81KEsToatZdAaxewMnB89de7xcifXuunfJNb8zDMSjbkTri3uHMuRz2DlvJBW_BtlJhCVSTDbw9S6O4U9G3c6uB6M9jB5-K50Al3s7o1nSkUblZKyK1jkTvDCyPwkdENt6P4nADTLoEr__Y1Z0_-WnOLSOaiWM/s320/IMG_9312.jpeg" width="232" /></a></div><br /> If your natural hair is weak, it may be prone to breakage, tangling, or lack of growth.

Use a gentle shampoo: Avoid using harsh sulfate-based shampoos, which can strip your hair of its natural oils. Instead, look for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo that will clean your hair without drying it out.</p><p>2. Condition regularly: Conditioning your hair is key to keeping it soft and manageable. Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week, and a regular conditioner after every shampoo.</p><p>3. Use a leave-in conditioner: A leave-in conditioner can help to detangle and soften your hair, making it easier to style.</p><p>4. Use natural oils: Natural oils like coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil can help to soften and moisturize your hair. Apply a small amount to the ends of your hair, working your way up to the roots.</p><p>5. Avoid heat styling: Heat styling can damage your hair and make it brittle. Try to minimize your use of heat tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers.</p><p>6. Use a hair mask: A hair mask can provide an intense dose of moisture to dry, brittle hair. Look for a mask that contains ingredients like avocado, honey, or shea butter.</p><p>7. Be gentle when combing: Avoid using a brush or comb that is too rough on your hair. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently work out tangles.</p><p>8. Protect your hair from the sun: The sun's UV rays can damage your hair, making it dry and brittle. When you're going to be outside, wear a hat or use a hair serum that contains SPF to protect your hair.</p><p>9. Use a microfiber towel: Regular towels can be too rough on your hair, causing friction and leading to breakage. Instead, use a microfiber towel to gently blot your hair dry.</p><p>10. Be patient: Natural hair can be prone to dryness and brittleness, especially if you're transitioning from relaxed hair.</p></div>DiscoveringNaturalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12728855219299634429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249984460490558459.post-26355898445513941682024-02-18T07:44:00.000-06:002024-02-18T07:44:00.130-06:00Should You Use Cold Water or Warm Water to Rinse Your Hair?<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN_klzPJ4fhsk8KpCBBfJnweQUlBSQ2nFCU_5j4w7z5_dYbJ1pFv5CQ_R2OBTul2R6RU2m9HZZPSxzyNsklTNNb9aAialbD2LL2GDZ2P0c5rLo7MlZiuL88IYeultuLBjUdtA9wB3tmoYmcPOl45H27KT5yGpapk6_jeWSwSoaNPIzXCTck-SKAemjs5Y/s466/IMG_9252.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="383" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN_klzPJ4fhsk8KpCBBfJnweQUlBSQ2nFCU_5j4w7z5_dYbJ1pFv5CQ_R2OBTul2R6RU2m9HZZPSxzyNsklTNNb9aAialbD2LL2GDZ2P0c5rLo7MlZiuL88IYeultuLBjUdtA9wB3tmoYmcPOl45H27KT5yGpapk6_jeWSwSoaNPIzXCTck-SKAemjs5Y/s320/IMG_9252.jpeg" width="263" /></a></div><br />If you have low porosity hair, use warm water to rinse to keep your hair cuticle lifted so that products can penetrate better.<p></p><p><br /></p><p>If you have high porosity hair, first rinse with warm water and then use cold water to close the hair cuticle.
