Our hair needs to be moisturised regularly to look and feel healthy. This is why the type of hair products we use is very important. You want to pay attention to the ingredients in the products you use on your hair to ensure they are top quality and natural (if you are on a natural hair care journey like me). I like to use natural carrier oils on my hair. They always leave my hair hydrated and moisturised. Anything else just feels heavy on my hair.

Here are my current top 3 great carrier oils for natural hair:

Organic Black Seed Oil

Product Review: Organic Black Seed Oil image

This Organic Black Seed Oil is 100% virgin cold pressed. It can be used in a variety of ways but I currently use it on my hair and skin. I love how it leaves my hair moisturised and soft. I have also noticed it aids hair growth, so if you are looking for an oil to use to support hair growth, this Organic Black Seed Natural Oil is a great option. 

Naissance Liquid Fractionated Coconut Oil

I have been using this particular coconut oil for many years and I can see myself using it for many more years to come. I have just ordered another bottle as I am due to run out any day now. The coconut oil is 100% pure, cruelty-free, and Vegan. It can be used in a variety of ways and it is so good. I love how it leaves my hair and skin looking hydrated and moisturised. It is also super affordable, you can grab yours via the link below. The packaging has slightly changed but the content is the same.

Organic Rosehip Oil

Organic Rosehip Oil is another fab option for hair oils. I have been using this particular brand for a few months and it is really good. I have noticed that it moisturises my hair really well. My hair is quite dry and so it needs a little more oil than most, which is why moisturising oils are really good for my hair. This Organic Rosehip Oil is 100% cold pressed, cruelty-free, and free from free of parabens, silicon, sulfates, pesticides, artificial colouring, and perfumes.

The Rules for Beautiful Hair

July 8, 2020 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

A woman’s hair is her crown and it needs to be nurtured to look beautiful and healthy. I neglected my hair for many years so I know all about how damaging it is for your hair when the right hair products are not used or when you don’t spend time caring for it. Life happened and I now give my hair the attention and care it needs to thrive. I went naturally a few years ago and I only use natural hair products to nourish my hair. The rules for beautiful hair are similar to those for lovely skin. I will be writing a post showing off how long my hair is now and what my hair routine really looks like.  For now, here is a picture of my current hair length.

The Rules for Beautiful Hair
Keep your hair clean

I wash my hair every 2 weeks. Washing it every week will do my hair more damage than good. How often you should wash your hair depends on your hair type? Wash it as often as you need to keep it clean and healthy.

Stimulate your hair

It is very important to keep your hair stimulated. I do this by massaging hair oils into my scalp every day. This aids hair growth and keeps the scalp healthy.

Moisturise your hair

My hair and scalp are quite dry, so I moisturise twice a day. I have a spray bottle containing water and oils, and I use that twice a day alongside hair oils.

Keep your hair smelling good

The season of sweat is here and if you neglect your hair, it will end up smelling terrible. I love my hair smelling good. My essential oils do the job for me. I sprinkle a few jobs of my favourite essential oils into my spray bottle and that leaves my hair moisturised and smelling divine.

I wrote about the many Hair Oils available some weeks ago, and the best Hair Oils for growth. Well I have been experimenting with a few new hair oils to discover the best hair oil for our hair (that is myself and my baby girl).

I have used quite a few already, but I was not 100% sold on any until I tried this KTC Pure Almond Oil.

Pure, undiluted Almond Oil is the best for my hair and my daughter’s hair. I have only good things to say about this amazing hair oil. It is so good that I have had to buy 2 more bottles immediately, just so I don’t run out.

Here is a brief product description –

  • ALMOND OIL AS COOKING OIL This oil was extracted from sweet almonds, it is quite clear, pale yellow, low viscosity and mild pure flavor, so it comes as high-quality edible oil used. It is suitable for fresh salads, fruit salads, sauces and sweet dishes, also for frying or for fondue. In Indian cuisine, it is considered a “staple”.

  • OR FOR PERSONAL HYGIENE It is also suitable for a natural, native and mild type of skin care. It is neutral in odor – without chemical additives. Because it is quickly absorbed into the skin like almond oil, used as body and massage oil.

  1. It is a great multi-tasking oil. Fabulous for moisturising he skin (I add it to my regular lotion), conditioning he hair (I use it in my spray bottle with some water), and cooking.
  2. It is pure, undiluted oil. No chemicals, no fragrance.
  3. It is so affordable at only £3.20 for a 200ml botle.
  4. It is readily affordable on eBay, Amazon, Superdrug and many other online stores and regular shops.
  5. It feels great on my skin. It absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling moisturised and looking smooth.
  6. It is so good for our hair. I have noticed a massive growth in our hair, especially my daughter’s, since we started using it.

CONS

None.

This product is THE TRUTH! I can’t see myself using any other kind of oil. I have used them all, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil; and this Almond Oil is the best oil by far. I love it. My natural hair has had a full transformation. I am still transitioning, but I can see my hair fully transitioned in about 3 months.
