Have you ever heard of Green Soap??

Image
I had not until I was speaking with someone who consulted me for hair help. I did some research and here is what I found: Using green soap to wash your hair is not generally recommended for regular hair care, especially if you’re referring to the surgical or tattoo-grade green soap (like the kind used in medical or tattoo settings). Here’s why: ⸻ ⚠️ What Is Green Soap?  • Tattoo/medical green soap: Contains alcohol, glycerin, and essential oils, primarily used for disinfecting skin—not formulated for scalp or hair.  • It’s antibacterial, which is good for sanitation but can be too harsh for the scalp and strip your hair of natural oils. ⸻ ❌ Why It May Not Be Safe for Hair:  1. Too drying – It can strip away natural oils, leading to dryness, frizz, and breakage.  2. Scalp irritation – Contains alcohol and strong agents that may cause itching or inflammation.  3. Not pH-balanced for hair – Hair prefers slightly acidic products (pH around 4.5–5.5); green soap is us...

How to make Your Hair Thicker

 Wondering how to get thicker hair? Thicker hair can be influenced by a combination of internal health, scalp care, and smart hair practices. Here’s a breakdown of what can help make your hair appear or actually become thicker: 🧠 1. Nutrition for Thick Hair Hair is made of protein (mainly keratin), so your diet is key.  • Protein-rich foods: Eggs, lean meat, fish, lentils, beans, nuts  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts  • Iron: Spinach, red meat, lentils  • Zinc & Biotin: Pumpkin seeds, eggs, sweet potatoes  • Vitamins A, C, D & E: Help with scalp health, collagen, and follicle strength ✅ Supplements like biotin, collagen, or hair-specific blends can help if your diet is lacking, but always consult a doctor first. 🧴 2. Scalp Health Is Key A healthy scalp = a better foundation for thick hair.  • Exfoliate weekly (with gentle scalp scrubs or acids like salicylic acid)  • Massage regularly to stimulate blood flow  • Kee...

Is it a Sin to Blow Dry, Straighten or Alter Your Natural Hair?

Image
 The Bible does not say that changing your hair texture is a sin. There is no verse that specifically mentions straightening, curling, or otherwise altering hair texture as being sinful. Hair care and styling choices, including changing your natural texture, are not addressed as moral or spiritual issues in Scripture. What is mentioned in the Bible are the following:  1 Peter 3:3-4 talks about not letting outward adornment (like hairstyles or jewelry) be your primary focus, but rather emphasizing a gentle and quiet spirit. 1 Corinthians 11:15 mentions that long hair is a glory for a woman because it is given as a covering, but it does not forbid styling or altering the hair. 1 Timothy 2:9 emphasizes modesty and inner beauty over elaborate hairstyles. These verses are about attitude and priorities, not specific hairstyles or hair treatments. Changing your hair texture is not a sin according to the Bible. What’s more important in Scripture is your heart, humility, and motives, n...
