I am a huge fan of SheaMoisture hair products and you would know this if you have been reading my product reviews posts. SheaMoisture products are my go-to haircare products. I have used them since I started the natural hair journey and my experience with the brand has been amazing. When an opportunity came for me to review this SheaMoisture Palm Oil & Cocoa Butter Range, I took it with my both hands. The SheaMoisture Palm Oil & Cocoa Butter Range consists of three products.

 

RED PALM OIL & COCOA BUTTER RINSE OUT OR LEAVE IN CONDITIONER

This conditioner works great as a rinse-out or leave-in. It is fantastic for curly, coily and shrinkage-prone hair. My 4C coily hair shrinks a whole lot, which is really annoying. So this conditioner will be put to good use. I am loving it so much already. The blend of Cocoa Butter and Palm Oil is amazing because it is rich in antioxidants. The Flaxseed Oil helps combat shrinkage, maximising the length of the hair. This SheaMoisture hair conditioner also enhances my curls in a beautiful way.

 

RED PALM OIL & COCOA BUTTER DETANGLING SHAMPOO

This detangling shampoo is the real deal. My 4C hair is prone to tangling so having a shampoo to deal with that is great. This shampoo is great for detangling the hair, leaving it clean, shiny and tangle free. It is now one of my favourite hair shampoos. The combination of the ingredients are just too good.

 

RED PALM OIL & COCOA BUTTER SHINE BUTTER

This Reshaping Shine Butter with Flaxseed Oil is great for softening and reshaping hair styles for the curly/coily hair. It is lightweight and moisturising. It is also very easy to use to create various hair styles.

 

PROS
  1. The range is quite affordable. I will be linking to the Amazon pages for those interested in buying.
  2. The packaging is quite attractive. The bright colour was the first thing that caught my eye.
  3. I love the ingredients in all the products. They are great for my 4C hair.
  4. The products leave my hair clean, soft, shiny and tangle free.
  5. I love the fact that it has an anti-shrinkage formulae. My hair shrinks after every wash, so being able to retain the length is important to me.
  6. The products smell good.
  7. I love the fact that the SheaMoisture products are Sulfate free.
  8. The range is great for the following hair types – 3A, 4A, 3B, 4B, 3C, 4C.

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?

 

How I moisturise my natural hair

I transitioned from texturised hair to natural hair about 5 years ago, and I have no regrets. My hair is strong and healthy, and I love how it looks. When I had texturised hair, my hair was horrible. I had no edges and my hair was breaking a lot. It was so weak and unhealthy, and I couldn’t stand the sight of it anymore. I was tired on hiding it underneath hair extensions that only made my hair condition worse, so I decided to embark on the long road to freedom – natural hair route.

The journey has been long and hard but so worth it. It took me a long time to figure out hair products that worked great for my coarse hair. I tried all sorts of products and I am still trying new products regularly. In my search of trying out new products, I came across the amazing Naissance Fractionated Coconut Oil, Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Leave in Conditioning Cream and some great Sheamoisture Hair Care products. I use SheaMoisture Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Masquwe every 2 weeks and these products help create the right foundation for the rest of my hair care products. 

Before stumbling on these products, I have used lots of shampoos, conditioners, masques, oils and leave in conditioners. But my current hair care products mentioned above are the best for my hair type. They are so good for natural hair protective hairstyles too!

You can watch me in the video use Naissance Fractionated Coconut Oil and  Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Leave in Conditioning Cream. These products help me moisturise my natural hair beautifully, making it soft and manageable. They also help my hair grow and stay healthy. I can’t see myself ever not using this oil and leave in conditioner. They are the best hair products I have tried in a long time. Do watch the video and tell me what you think of these haircare products and how I moisturise my natural hair.  You can follow my YouTube Channel for more updates.
