It was launched in 2002 and it has been waxing strong ever since! It is a sophisticated scent with a lovely blend of different sweet smelling notes.

What do I like about this perfume? I love every bit of it. I am pleased to have this fragrance this season. It is a lovely scent to wear in the autumn and winter months.

Hair growth before, during and after pregnancy

November 24, 2019 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , 6 Comments

Our hair is our crown and we should pay more attention to it. When I say hair, I mean our natural hair. Hair extensions, wigs and all the rest are good but our primary concern should be with our natural hair that grows out of our head. I have neglected my natural hair for so long and I am still paying for all the damage I caused it. The good part of the experience was having the knowledge to care for my hair going forward and share my insight with my daughter and anyone who cares to listen.

Our hair grows at a rate f about 1cm every month. It is less for some of us and more for others. It all depends on the type of hair, genes and how we nurture our hair.

Our hair lasts for between 1 to 6 years. Then it sheds and a new hair replaces it. On a good day, we lose around 100 hairs. The older we get, the less our hair grows, which is the younger you are, the easier it is to grow your hair. It is faster to our hair between the ages of 15 and 25 because this is when out hair is at the thickest. The irony of this fact is this is the stage most young girls are developing and finding themselves. So they end up experimenting with all sorts of hairstyles, which may damage their hair in the end. The hair usually thins out between the ages of 30 and 50 years.

 

Hormones and Hair Growth

Our hormones affect our hair in various ways. During the teenage years, our hormones make the hair greasier and curlier. While in menopause, our hair becomes drier. When we are pregnant, our hair becomes really thick and hair loss decreases massively thanks to the high levels of oestrogen and progesterone. I still remember how thick and long my hair was while pregnant with the twins. My hair was so healthy and shiny, it was unbelievable. However, once I had the kiddies, my hair started shedding at an alarming rate. All the hair that would have been lost over 9 months fell out within weeks after delivery.

I went natural after childbirth and I have been growing my hair since then. My hair has really improved since I went natural. I have been nurturing it and paying more attention in ensuring it stays healthy. My efforts have paid off and my hair is thanking me for it.

How do you nurture your hair? Any hair growth tips?

The weather has been really cold in the last couple days here in Cheshire. I am so happy I have my natural hair in a protective style. The cold weather tends to break my hair so it is really not the time for me to let the fro out. I like to keep my hair protected and nourished during the autumn/winter season, so I can enjoy it in the summer.

Here are some hair products I will be adding to my haircare routine this season –

 

Nanogen Hair Hydrator £12.50

I love this Nanogen Hair Hydrator a lot. It is a lightweight thickening gel that adds shine to the hair while removing fizz. I love the texture and fragrance as well as the packaging. I also love how it moisturises. This is one haircare product I am going to be using a lot of this season. It will be a great addition to my haircare routine after a wash.

This Root Boost Hair Thickening Spray by Nanogen is the real deal. I love how it thickens every strand. My hair feels instantly fuller once I use this hair care product. It is a light, fast absorbing spray that instantly adds bounce and fullness to the hair. I love the fragrance and the packaging here as well. It is now one of my favourite haircare products, and I can see myself using this for a long time.

Spray Bottle

I always make sure my water spray bottle is topped up and ready for use. In the bottle, I have 60% water, 20% leave in conditioner (I currently use Cantu) and 20% coconut oil. I spray my hair about twice a day and it helps keep my hair moisturised and nourished. This water spray bottle technique is the best thing I have ever done for my hair. It has changed my haircare routine for the better.
