nurturing my natural self (part 4)

Disclaimer: I made this, like all my other posts, for myself, but if you are reading this, I'm not a doctor, and this is basic researched knowledge. If you realize that you need help, please seek a doctor!

Allowing Your Hair to Recover

Nurturing your hair is just as important. This allows your natural hair to breathe and thrive. While protective styles like braids, wigs, and weaves can be great, they can also harm your hair if you don't give it a break. It's crucial to find a routine and products that work for your hair type and porosity.

I want to grow my hair out so I can wear it more often, but I’ve struggled to find styles that suit my current length after chopping off my dead ends. Cutting those damaged ends felt like a weight lifted off my chest! I’m investing in my hair care and currently have a protective style in, but I’ll switch back to my natural hair once it’s out.

I’ve found more styling ideas on TikTok, which helps since it can be tough to find looks for my length. My hair is a bit longer than the TWA (teeny weeny afro) stage and is growing well. The health of my hair is very important, and I plan to continue adding to my routine.

- Nutrients: Protein: Essential for hair structure (lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes). Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Support scalp health (fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseeds). Vitamin A: Promotes sebum production for a healthy scalp (carrots, sweet potatoes). Vitamin C: Supports collagen production and iron absorption (citrus fruits, berries). Biotin: A B-vitamin crucial for hair growth (eggs, nuts, avocados). Vitamin E: Improves blood circulation to the scalp (nuts, seeds, leafy greens).

- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your hair and scalp hydrated.

- Scalp care: Cleansing, exfoliation & massage: using a gentle shampoo, keep your scalp clean to prevent build-up, which can hinder growth. occasionally exfoliate your scalp to remove dead skin cells and promote circulation (started using aztec clay, 10/10 so far, loving it). massage your scalp to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth.

- Moisturizing Oils: jojoba, argan, grapeseed & avocado oil. These help hydrate hair by adding moisture and nutrients. Apply these oils to damp hair to hydrate it, either as part of a deep conditioning treatment or after washing.

- Moisture-Sealing Oils: castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado (serves as both) & shea butter. These create a barrier to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration. Use these after applying a moisturizing oil or treatment to lock in the hydration, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends of the hair. I don't use these much if at all unless I'm focusing on the ends of my hair because of my scalp condition.

- Heat Management: If you’re using heat, always protect your hair. Heat protectants are a must to prevent damage from styling tools. Try to minimize heat use overall or stick to low-heat settings.

- Detangling: a major part of healthy hair care. Always use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers (if using both, then use your fingers first), and make sure your hair is wet with conditioner to prevent breakage.

- Seasonal Hair Care: your hair’s needs can change with the seasons. In the winter, it might need more moisture, while summer humidity might require lighter products.

- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Choose sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid stripping natural oils. reduce or avoid harsh chemical treatments (e.g., relaxers, dyes) that can weaken hair.

- Protective styling: using low-manipulation styles to protect your ends (braids, twists) can help prevent breakage. styles that are too tight can lead to traction alopecia.

- Hair care ingredients: it's important to find what works for you. what works for kayla may not work for kiara, yk? for example, i've read and heard about others who benefitted from Coconut oil, shea butter, castor oil, jojoba oil, rosemary oil, and mint oil are examples of hair care ingredients known for their nourishing, moisturizing, and growth-stimulating properties. While not all of these oils are beneficial for managing my seborrheic dermatitis, certain ones, like jojoba oil and rosemary oil, have been especially helpful in controlling flare-ups.

- Routine: Find a fitting routine for your type and porosity. A general one is: shampoo + condition + rinse + leave in + style OR shampoo + deep condition + rinse + leave in + style . People include pre-poo (pre-shampoo) to detangle, some people even condition their hair before deep conditioning. this can actually cause your deep conditioner to be less effective. my current routine to which pre-pooing will be added: detangle with water + shampoo/aztec clay mask w acv + deep condition + rinse + leave-in conditioner + blow-dry on low heat. this is to prep my hair for like braids or something but if i was doing a wash n go, i wouldn't bow dry, i'd style with either a curl custard and gel or a hair butter (to lock int he moisture) + gel since i already used leave-in.

- Trims, Patience, and Stress Management: Regular trims are necessary to keep split ends at bay. Managing stress and getting enough sleep can make a huge difference in your hair’s health. And remember, patience is key—healthy hair growth takes time!

Some ingredients to beware of:

- Sulfates (e.g. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate): Strips natural oils, causing dryness.

- Parabens (e.g. Methylparaben): Preservatives that may disrupt hormones.

- Silicones (e.g. Dimethicone): Can build up on hair, leading to dullness.

- Alcohols (e.g. Isopropyl alcohol): Drying effects on hair.

- Formaldehyde (e.g. DMDM Hydantoin): Can cause irritation and allergic reactions.

- Artificial Fragrances: Can irritate sensitive skin and cause allergic reactions.

- Harsh Detanglers (e.g., Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cetrimonium Chloride): Can strip moisture and cause buildup.

Hair Care Essentials

- clarifying shampoo (deeply cleanses to remove buildup, excess oil, and impurities. Ideal for occasional use to refresh hair but can strip natural oils with frequent use.)

- hydrating shampoo (gentle cleansers that don’t strip natural oils; look for hydrating formulas.)

- co-wash (cleansing conditioner that helps remove dirt while maintaining moisture, suitable for regular use. i.e. when you wanna wash your hair but it's too soon use shampoo bc you don't wanna dry it out)

- conditioner (moisturize and detangle hair after shampooing.)

- blow dryer (better than air drying, esp useful for when you're doing styles that require dry hair)

- spray bottle (refresh, dampen, moisturize)

- plastic cap (to hold your hair when you put hair masks on)

- leave in conditioner (retain moisture and detangle hair.)

- deep conditioner/hair mask (Used weekly or bi-weekly to provide intense moisture and repair. choose one best suited to your hai-- what your hair needs the most in the moment)

- hydrating creams & oils (shea butter, coconut oil, or argan oil to nourish and moisturize.)

- natural oils: coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, or castor oil can help seal in moisture, add shine, and promote hair growth.

- essential oils: tea tree oil, lavender oil, and peppermint oil can help with scalp health and stimulation.

- curl creams or gels: defining curls, providing hold, and reducing frizz.

- edge control & brush sleek edges and maintaining hairstyles.

- hair mousse: volume and lightweight hold.

- wide-tooth comb: for detangling without causing breakage & combing out.

- detangling brush: for detangling (denman, unbrush etc)

- fine-tooth comb: sectioning and parting hair

- satin or silk scarves/bonnets/pillowcases: protect hair from friction while sleeping, reducing frizz and breakage.

- hair clips and bands: sectioning hair during styling and care routines.

- heat protectant spray or cream: if you use heat styling tools (like flat irons or blow dryers) to protect your hair from damage.

- trimming tools: scissors handy for regular trims to remove split ends and encourage healthy growth.

- scalp massager: promote blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.

- scalp Treatments: tea tree oil for dandruff or other scalp concerns.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

the speedometer flashed between 110-120 with limited light except the red outline of control buttons dimmed in the car. the rank smell of two joints mixed with the pride of the melody that played in the car labeled itself as a pre-game.

eren was on his way to the girl's house where they got nothing productive done. where he had almost fallen in love.

♡ was a girl of beauty he had never seen before. her beautiful brown complexion underneath his skin drove him crazy, and the smell of shea butter every time he was inside of her sent him mad.

♡ was a girl he couldn't keep his mind off of.

but it was better off as co-workers with benefits.

his reputation of being a producer who built up dozens of rappers into some of the greatest. his beats gave inspiration to everyone, and youtube is filled with people who try to recreate his art.

manhattan traffic is always a mess, the constant breaking and long wait time. he told her he's 30 mins away as an element of surprise, but it's looking like 30 hours now.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

♡ laid down on her bed with her hair still out, a robe covering her skimpily dressed body. underneath the pastel pink robe was a crop white tanktop and a white skims thong.

she took off her makeup from a long day of vlogging and just had lashes and a lip mask on. eren's favorite.

not that she did it all for him! but she knew it riled him up a bit more. their relationship was complicated...

she was editing a tiktok on her ipad to hint to her new youtube video dropping tomorrow. after being a ig model for so long, she wanted to gain consistency on content creating.

she was seen as a "big sister" online, her youtube filled with tutorials and keeping it real with her supporters. she wasn't necessarily trying to get them to buy the next best beauty product, but steering them in the right way.

♡ was starting to make a strong living for herself when her first song "living room flow" was dropped. eren and ♡ struggled to stay on task for the most part, but came out with a masterpiece.

it reflected eren and ♡'s relationship too. but she didn't think he caught on to her hints. the sexual tension between them that kept them glued to each other, but anything other than that seemed forbidden.

at least to them.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

♡ got up from her bed when eren texted her two minutes ago, making him wait a little. she unlocked the gazillion locks on her door, opening it slightly.

her condominium had two people per floor, so she didn't have to worry too much about anyone seeing them. her neighbor was a nice old couple named Mrs. & Mr. Alvarez.

"who is it?"

"stop playing with me."

"who is ittttt??"

"girl."

eren pushed the door but �� pushed back, sending him stumbling a little. eren then pushed back, sending ♡ back.

"damn sasquatch, you could've put any more of your weight on my door?" ♡ sassed, rolling her eyes. she glanced at eren, keeping the glance in her mind.

all his tattoos were on display in that little white wife beater he has on, his chains glimmering in the dim light of ♡'s apartment. his nike tech pink sweatpants hung a bit low with new white forces. he had on his rings and his hair seemed to be messy.

like he ran his fingers thru them, or another girl had their hands in them?

what did that matter to ♡ ?

"not my fault you wanna play these goddamn games." eren said as, unlike ♡ , he shamelessly drank ♡ . his blue almost grey eyes captured the roundness of ♡ 's ass in that robe he loved so much. ♡ 's nipples peeking out thru the thin fabric.

♡ 's brown, moisturized skin glowed in the lighting decorated with shea butter and coconut oil. "so, you're just gonna stare?" ♡ said as her arms crossed, putting all her weight on her right leg.

eren's eyes slowly went up ♡ 's face, her two toned juicy lips and her captivating eyes. beautiful flat nose. he took his shoes off slowly, walking up to ♡ .

he towered over ♡ , standing at 6'2 while she stood at 5'5. he licked his lips before swooping her up by surprise.

"eren!"

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

♡ moaned into the duvet as eren thrusted into her from the back. he held her hands together on her back with his left hand while his right hand smacked her ass with each thrust.

♡ 's cunt was sopping wet and squeezing him in with each stroke he delivered to your overstimulated pussy. he had eaten her out and fucked her on every flat surface in her room, and her bed was the last one.

"rennnn!" she drawed out, his right hand snaking around her neck. he leaned down, kissing the small of her neck before nibbling on her ear. his strokes became slower but harder with each thrust.

he was hitting her g-spot with every stroke, and he tightened his grip on her neck a little.

"so what you was doin around tjay huh?" eren said in ♡ 's ear as he continued his punishing strokes. ♡'s eyes were closed as she bit her lip, letting moans slip from her lips.

♡ was speechless. he was dicking her down, and she couldn't possibly focus on his dumbass question. not when his dick was touching that spongey spot in her stomach.

when her legs were shaking from the 10 minutes ago he had his fingers and tongue deep in her pussy as she screamed for him.

no she couldn't.

"open your fucking eyes and answer me, you be slutting this pussy out?" eren seethed, his hand traveling up to her cheeks to squeeze them.

♡ 's eyes opened, looking at him dazed. eren reveled in the fact that his dick can get her speechless, but right now he wanted the truth. that's why he chose to interrogate her on her sex high.

he asked her again, and she shook her head. profusely. his strokes were so agonizingly slow but bruising. hitting her right where she needed him. "nn-no!" she screamed as she clenched around him.

"you really didn't fuck him?" he asked her again, tilting her head so she can look at him. his hips stayed next to her g-spot, stilling. "eren!" she pouted.

"no!"

HEALTHY HAIR TIPS AND TRICKS ✧˚ · .

this post is going to be aiming toward type 3-4 hair (curly-coily)! but if you have a different hair type some of these things could be beneficial towards your hair as well

WASHING YOU HAIR

healthy hair starts with how you manage it. so making sure you have a good wash day routine is super important for your hair health. only wash your hair once a week if you do a sport or are active a lot. if not, only wash your hair once every two weeks. when you rinse your hair use cold water to ensure moisture stays locked in. the more you wash your hair the more natural oils your hair gets stripped from and you don't want that.

PICKING PRODUCTS

picking hair care products that are right for you hair plays a big role in your hair health. try to find hair products that don't contain sulfates, parabens, silicones, or mineral oil. instead look for honey, shea butter, tea tree oil, and argan oil.

A ROUTINE FOR YOU

making sure you develop your own hair routine that's right for your hair and benefits you is the best way to go. don't follow hair care trends that you see other people doing. stick to yours, trying out different products is totally okay, if you're careful.

STYLING

the way you are styling your hair could also be of benefit to your hair growth/health. try doing protective styles to ensure you aren't pulling at your hair all the time, pulling at your hair so much could cause thinning. but at the same time still making sure you aren't leaving those protective styles in for too long because that could also cause breakage.

HEAT

using heat on your hair all the time is definitely not of value to you. this could cause extreme breakage and really bad heat damage which could mess up your natural curl pattern. I recommend only straightening your hair once every 5-6 months to give your hair a trim. watch this video to successfully straighten your hair the healthy way.

HAIRCUTS

try to give your hair a trim every 3-6 months (depending on your ends) to clip your dead hair. this ensures your hair will grow long and healthy.

SLEEP

sleeping is also a huge benefit for hair health and growth. don't sleep with your hair soaking wet while that can cause breakage, if you are deep conditioning you hair make sure to sleep with a bonnet over your hair to prevent you from laying on it. make sure to use silk pillowcases + bonnets!

HEALTH OVER LENGTH

lots of people I see never let go of their long hair because of the length even though it's damaged. my opinion is to just let it go. you don't have to cut all of it off at one time but cutting a few inches off every few months will help you hair grown even longer and healthier

VITAMINS

taking vitamins will also help your hair tremendously! vitamin B, C, iron, zinc, and keratin are a few good ones you could take

The Ultimate Guide to Conditioner for Curly Hair: Nourish, Define, and Revive Your Curls

Curly hair is a crown that needs tender love and care, and the secret to maintaining beautiful, bouncy curls lies in the right conditioner. Curly hair is often more prone to dryness, frizz, and tangles due to its unique structure, so the right conditioner can be transformative, helping to nourish, define, and revive your curls. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about conditioner for curly hair, from understanding its benefits to selecting the best ingredients and crafting the perfect conditioning routine.

Why Conditioner is Essential for Curly Hair

Unlike straight hair, curly hair has a spiral structure that makes it more prone to moisture loss. Each twist and turn creates potential points of weakness in the hair shaft, making it difficult for natural oils from the scalp to travel down the hair strands. As a result, curly hair often feels dry, frizzy, and unruly.

This is where conditioner becomes your best friend. A well-formulated best products for curly frizzy hair hydrates, smoothens, and detangles curls, while also restoring moisture balance and protecting against environmental damage. Let’s dive into the key reasons why conditioner is so essential for curly hair:

Hydration Boost: Curls thrive on moisture. The humectants and emollients in conditioners penetrate deep into the hair cuticle, delivering much-needed hydration to keep curls soft and shiny.

Frizz Control: Frizz is the arch-nemesis of curly hair, often caused by lack of moisture. Conditioners help seal the hair cuticle, locking in moisture and reducing frizz.

Detangling: Curly hair is more prone to knots and tangles. A rich conditioner lubricates the hair strands, making detangling easier and less damaging.

Curl Definition: Conditioners formulated for curly hair can enhance curl definition by providing weight and structure, making each curl stand out.

Damage Protection: Heat styling, environmental stress, and chemical treatments can weaken curly hair. Conditioners create a protective barrier around the hair shaft, safeguarding against further damage.

Key Ingredients to Look for in a Curly Hair Conditioner

Not all conditioners are created equal, and when it comes to curly hair, certain ingredients are a must-have to ensure maximum benefits. Here’s a breakdown of the best ingredients to look for:

1. Shea Butter

Shea butter is a rich emollient packed with fatty acids and vitamins that nourish and moisturize the hair. It adds weight and definition to curls, making it ideal for combating frizz and dryness.

2. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a favorite in the curly hair community for its ability to penetrate the hair shaft and reduce protein loss. It helps retain moisture, reduce breakage, and enhance the overall health of curly hair.

3. Aloe Vera

Known for its soothing and hydrating properties, aloe vera provides moisture and promotes shine without weighing down curls. It also has a natural pH-balancing effect, which is crucial for curly hair health.

4. Argan Oil

Argan oil is full of important fats, antioxidants, and vitamin E. It locks in moisture, smoothens hair, and protects against environmental damage. It’s a lightweight oil, making it perfect for defining curls without the greasy feel.

5. Jojoba Oil

Mimicking the scalp’s natural oils, jojoba oil is an excellent conditioner for curly hair. It’s light, non-greasy, and deeply hydrating, ensuring smooth, frizz-free curls.

6. Silk Protein

Silk protein helps rebuild damaged hair, giving curls more elasticity and strength. It’s particularly beneficial for chemically treated or heat-styled curly hair, as it restores protein balance.

Avoid These Ingredients in Your Conditioner

While certain ingredients can work wonders for curly hair, there are others that should be avoided, as they can lead to dryness, frizz, and buildup. When choosing a conditioner, steer clear of:

Sulfates: Harsh cleansing agents that strip away natural oils, leaving curls dry and vulnerable.

Silicones: While they create a smooth surface, silicones can cause product buildup over time, leading to dull and lifeless curls.

Alcohols: Some alcohols, like ethanol, can dry out curly hair, so opt for conditioners that avoid them or use fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are safe and moisturizing.

Types of Conditioners for Curly Hair

Curly hair benefits from different types of conditioners depending on the specific needs of your curls. Here’s a breakdown of the main types of conditioners to include in your routine:

1. Daily Rinse-Out Conditioners

These are lightweight conditioners meant for daily use, providing moisture and detangling benefits without weighing down the hair. They are typically used after shampooing and rinsed out within a few minutes.

2. Deep Conditioners

Deep conditioners are richer and more intense than regular conditioners, providing deep hydration and repair. These are usually left on for 10-30 minutes to allow the nourishing ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft, making them ideal for weekly treatments.

3. Leave-In Conditioners

Leave-in conditioners are lightweight, non-rinse formulas that are applied to damp hair after washing. They provide long-lasting moisture and help with detangling, curl definition, and frizz control.

4. Co-Wash Conditioners

Co-washing, or conditioner-only washing, is a popular method among curly-haired individuals. Co-wash conditioners gently cleanse the scalp and hair while providing moisture. They don’t contain harsh detergents, making them ideal for frequent washes without stripping the hair of natural oils.

How to Condition Curly Hair the Right Way

To make the most out of your curly hair conditioner, follow these steps for an optimal conditioning routine:

Step 1: Cleanse First

While some people prefer co-washing, it’s important to cleanse your hair regularly with a sulfate-free shampoo to remove dirt and buildup. This ensures that your conditioner can penetrate the hair shaft effectively.

Step 2: Apply Conditioner on Damp Hair

After cleansing, gently squeeze excess water from your hair, but keep it damp. Apply a generous amount of conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, where it tends to be the driest.

Step 3: Detangle

Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle your curls while the conditioner is still in your hair. This minimizes breakage and helps distribute the product evenly.

Step 4: Let It Sit

For daily conditioners, leave the product on for a few minutes before rinsing. For deep conditioning treatments, let the product sit for at least 10 minutes (or longer if recommended) to allow the nutrients to penetrate the hair shaft.

Step 5: Rinse with Cool Water

Cool water helps to seal the hair cuticle, locking in moisture and reducing frizz. Always rinse your conditioner with cool water to enhance shine and definition.

Step 6: Follow Up with a Leave-In

After rinsing, apply a leave-in conditioner or styling cream to damp hair for added moisture and protection throughout the day.

Final Thoughts: Embrace the Power of Conditioning

Curls are beautiful, but they require special care to look their best. Conditioning is the key to maintaining healthy, hydrated, and defined curls. By choosing the best hair mask for dry damaged hair and developing a consistent conditioning routine, you can transform your curls into soft, bouncy, and frizz-free locks. Remember, the best conditioner for curly hair is one that nourishes, protects, and enhances the unique beauty of your curls.

How to Grow Your Nail Fast

Introduction

Understanding Nail Growth

Nail growth might seem like a simple biological process, but it's influenced by various factors. Learning how to support and accelerate nail growth requires understanding the fundamentals of nail health and the mechanisms behind their growth.

Proper Nail Care

Maintain Hydration

Proper hydration isn't just beneficial for your skin; it's crucial for nail health too. Dehydrated nails are prone to brittleness and breakage, hindering growth. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day to keep your nails hydrated from within.

Balanced Diet

Nails, like any other part of your body, require essential nutrients to grow strong and healthy. Incorporate a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Foods like leafy greens, eggs, nuts, and fish can provide the necessary nutrients for optimal nail growth.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Exposure to harsh chemicals, such as those found in detergents and cleaning agents, can weaken nails and slow down growth. Wear gloves when handling such substances to protect your nails from damage.

Protective Measures

Keep Nails Trimmed

Contrary to popular belief, keeping your nails trimmed actually promotes faster growth. Regular trimming prevents split ends and breakage, allowing your nails to grow longer without the risk of damage.

Wear Gloves

Whether you're doing household chores or working outdoors, wearing gloves can shield your nails from potential harm. They act as a barrier against chemicals, harsh weather conditions, and physical trauma, safeguarding your nails and promoting healthy growth.

Nutritional Supplements

Biotin

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is renowned for its role in promoting healthy hair and nails. Consider taking biotin supplements or incorporating biotin-rich foods like eggs, almonds, and avocados into your diet to support nail growth.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that aids in repairing damaged cells, including those in your nails. It promotes circulation to the nail bed, which can stimulate growth. You can find vitamin E in foods like spinach, broccoli, and almonds or opt for supplements.

Moisturizing Treatments

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is a natural moisturizer that can penetrate deep into the nail bed, nourishing and strengthening the nails from within. Massage a few drops of jojoba oil onto your nails and cuticles daily to keep them hydrated and promote faster growth.

Shea Butter

Shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E, as well as fatty acids, making it an excellent moisturizer for nails and cuticles. Apply shea butter directly to your nails before bedtime and let it absorb overnight for maximum hydration and growth benefits.

Avoiding Nail Damage

Limiting Exposure to Water

Excessive exposure to water, especially hot water, can weaken nails and make them more prone to breakage. Wear gloves while washing dishes or cleaning, and try to minimize the time your nails spend submerged in water to maintain their strength and integrity.

Gentle Nail Care Practices

Avoid using your nails as tools for tasks like opening cans or scraping off stickers, as this can cause damage and hinder growth. Instead, use proper tools and techniques to protect your nails from unnecessary stress and trauma.

Massage Techniques

Stimulating Blood Flow

Massaging your nails and cuticles can improve blood circulation to the nail bed, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen for faster growth. Use gentle, circular motions to massage a nourishing oil or cream into your nails daily for optimal results.

Promoting Nail Growth

In addition to enhancing blood flow, nail massage can also stimulate the production of keratin, the protein responsible for nail growth. Incorporate massage into your daily nail care routine to encourage stronger, longer nails.

Herbal Remedies

Horsetail Extract

Horsetail extract is rich in silica, a mineral essential for collagen formation and nail strength. Taking horsetail supplements or using products containing horsetail extract can fortify your nails and promote faster growth.

Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel is well-known for its soothing and healing properties, making it ideal for treating brittle nails and stimulating growth. Apply fresh aloe vera gel to your nails and cuticles regularly to nourish and strengthen them from the inside out.

Patience and Consistency

Setting Realistic Expectations

While implementing these tips can accelerate nail growth, it's important to remember that nails grow slowly, typically around 1-3 millimeters per month. Be patient and consistent with your nail care routine, and you'll gradually see improvements in the health and length of your nails.

you can also try this product ProNail Complex

Establishing a Routine

Consistency is key when it comes to promoting nail growth. Establish a daily or weekly nail care routine that includes moisturizing, trimming, and protective measures to ensure optimal nail health and growth over time.

Professional Help

Consulting a Dermatologist

If you're experiencing persistent nail problems or slow growth despite following a healthy nail care routine, consider consulting a dermatologist. They can identify underlying issues and recommend specialized treatments or medications to address your specific concerns.

Nail Strengthening Treatments

In some cases, professional nail strengthening treatments may be necessary to promote faster growth and improve the overall health of your nails. These treatments often involve specialized formulas or procedures designed to fortify and protect the nails from damage.

Conclusion

Summary of Tips

Growing your nails faster requires a combination of proper nail care, nutritional support, protective measures, and patience. By maintaining hydration, avoiding damage, incorporating nourishing treatments, and seeking professional guidance when needed, you can achieve stronger, longer nails and flaunt your manicures with confidence. Remember to be consistent and patient in your nail care routine, and you'll soon enjoy the benefits of healthier, more beautiful nails.

Embrace Your Natural Beauty: Important Advice for Hair Care

Natural hair care is a lifestyle that promotes sustainability, self-care, and health rather than simply being a cosmetic decision. Natural hair care has become more popular as a comprehensive strategy for maintaining strong, healthy hair as clients move away from harsh chemical treatments and artificial products. This trend is not just a craze; rather, it is a reaction to growing knowledge of the long-term consequences, like hair dryness, breakage, and irritation of the scalp, that chemical-made products can cause.

The main goal of natural hair care is to use safe, easy-to-use products and techniques that support hair health without damaging your hair's natural strength and structure. Because of their well-known moisturizing and conditioning qualities, ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, aloe vera, and essential oils are constants in at-home hair care treatments. You may create a routine that promotes preservation of moisture, growth, and general vitality by knowing your particular hair type and its requirements.

Additionally, creating an environment where hair can flourish requires keeping the scalp healthy. You can maximize shine and softness while minimizing damage with frequent conditioning, mild cleaning, and preventive styling. Whether you want manageable or beautiful hair, adopting natural hair care practices has long-term advantages that go beyond looks.

Understand Your Hair Type

Knowing your hair type is essential to creating a hair care regimen that works and encourages life and health. Texture, which can range from straight to curly, is commonly used to classify hair kinds; each type has distinct demands and traits.

Straight Hair (Type 1): Because natural oils from the scalp may easily move from root to tip, this hair type has a tendency to be shiny. However, it frequently looks oily, thus light treatments are needed to prevent too much oil buildup.

Type 2 Wavy Hair: This type of hair balances curly and straight hair. Type 2A waves are loose and tangled, while Type 2C waves are more definite. Lightweight items that accentuate waves without adding weight are good for this type.

Curly Hair (Type 3): This type of hair is prone to frizz and dryness and produces noticeable twists and ringlets. This hair type needs a lot of moisture and treatments like leave-in conditioners and creams that hydrate and define curls.

Coily/Kinky Hair (Type 4): This type features tightly packed coils or curls. The most delicate and prone to shrinking hair type is coily, which requires minimal manipulation, nourishing oils, and thorough conditioning to keep its strength and elasticity.

Gentle Cleansing: A Key to Healthy Hair

Keeping your hair healthy and vibrant requires regular washing. Gentle cleansing uses softer, sulfate-free solutions that cleanse without depleting your hair and scalp of vital natural oils, in contrast to conventional shampoos that contain harsh sulfates. Sulfates can lead to breakage, dryness, and irritation, particularly in delicate or textured hair types. Instead, natural surfactants like betaine, which is produced from coconut oil, are used in sulfate-free shampoos to effectively remove grime and buildup while producing a moderate lather.

Clay washes and apple cider vinegar (ACV) rinses are natural solutions for cleaning. When ACV is diluted with water, it helps balance the pH of the scalp, gives hair gloss, and removes residue. Cleaners based on clay, like bentonite clay, gently extract contaminants without upsetting the equilibrium of moisture.

The frequency of mild cleansing is based upon the way of life and type of hair. For instance, curly hair benefits from washing every 7–10 days to avoid over-drying, whereas greasy hair could need more regular washes.

Better moisture retention, less frizz, and better hair growth can result from including gentle washing into your hair care regimen. To promote a balanced scalp and effective, resilient hair, give priority to mild, nourishing nutrients.

Preventing Typical Hair Care Mistakes

Maintaining strong, healthy hair requires avoiding common haircare problems. Over washing is a frequent problem that depletes hair of its natural oils, causing breakage and dryness. Depending on your hair type, washing your hair two to three times a week is ideal for maintaining the proper oil balance. The use of harsh shampoos that contain parabens and sulfates, which can irritate skin and cause damage, is another problem. Choose natural shampoos that don't include sulfates to gently cleanse your hair and scalp.

Unprotected heat styling is another significant offender. Regular usage of straighteners and curling irons without heat protectants might weaken hair. Always use a heat protection spray to minimize damage by creating a barrier. Furthermore, a lot of people make mistakes by forcibly brushing or combing wet hair. Since wet hair is more brittle, it is crucial to untangle it with a wide-tooth comb, beginning at the ends, to avoid damage.

Finally, avoid overusing styling agents that result in scalp accumulation. Growth may be hampered by this accumulation clogging hair follicles. To combat this and maintain healthy, revitalized hair, use a clarifying shampoo or natural rinse like apple cider vinegar once a month.

Conclusion

Progress in any aspect of life, but particularly in the areas of professional, health, and personal development, is based on consistency. Success hardly materializes immediately, whether you're aiming for physical fitness, picking up a new talent, or establishing a profession. It takes time and consistent, consistent work.

For instance, sustaining consistency in diet and exercise is essential for long-term health and fitness outcomes. Consistent physical activity has been linked to better mental, physical, and cardiovascular health, according to research. Similar to this, eating a balanced meal on a regular basis increases energy levels and helps maintain a healthy body weight.is crucial to keeping your hair healthy, as is avoiding typical haircare errors like over washing.

Keep in mind that consistency is essential. Patience and a regimen tailored to your hair's specific requirements are necessary to achieve healthy hair. In addition to improving the state of your hair, using these natural hair care suggestions can help you adopt a more nutritious and sustainable approach to hair care. These adjustments may eventually result in noticeable enhancements to your hair's texture and look.

FAQs

1. How often should I wash my hair with natural products?

Your lifestyle and hair type will determine how often you should wash your hair. The majority of people only need to wash their hair one to three times every week. Dryness can result from overwashing, which depletes the hair of its natural oils. You might be able to wash your hair less frequently without compromising its health if you use natural shampoos.

2. Can I use essential oils on my hair every day?

Essential oils that promote hair development and enhance scalp health include lavender, tea tree, and rosemary. Before using them, it is advisable to dilute them with a carrier oil, such as coconut or olive oil. It's usually enough to apply them two to three times a week because overuse can irritate the scalp.

3. Are natural hair care products better than commercial ones?

Because they don't contain harsh chemicals like silicone-based substances, parabens, or sulfates, natural haircare products are typically kinder to the hair and scalp. Long-term health is promoted by the natural elements they use to nourish the hair, even though they could take longer to show effects. It's crucial to select items that are appropriate for your particular hair type and requirements, nevertheless.

4. How can I prevent hair breakage naturally?

Minimize the use of harsh chemical treatments and steer clear of heavy heat styling to prevent hair breakage. Gently untangle damp hair with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Using natural oils such as jojoba, coconut, or argan oil to moisturize and condition your hair on a regular basis will help keep it supple and strong, preventing breakage.

5. Can I grow my hair faster with natural remedies?

Natural substances like peppermint oil, castor oil, and aloe vera could help increase circulation to the scalp, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth, even if no treatment can significantly accelerate hair growth. Healthy hair development over time can also be supported by a well-balanced diet high in vitamins and minerals and by taking good care of your scalp. Consistency and patience are crucial.

Embrace the Power of Natural Hair Care for Women: Tips and Products for Beautiful, Healthy Hair

Maintaining healthy hair doesn’t have to mean relying on chemicals or artificial treatments. For women, especially those with black hair, embracing a natural hair care routine offers numerous benefits, from improved texture and shine to stronger and more resilient hair. Natural hair care for women is not only about enhancing beauty but also about supporting hair health from the roots to the ends. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your existing routine, here are essential tips to keep your natural hair looking and feeling fantastic.

Understanding the Importance of Natural Hair Care for Black Hair

Natural hair care for black hair often requires a unique approach due to the specific texture and structure of the hair. Black hair tends to be more porous and prone to dryness, making it essential to focus on deep hydration and gentle handling. By choosing natural ingredients and gentle treatments, you can minimize the damage caused by chemicals and heat, ultimately preserving the natural beauty of your hair.

Choose Products with Natural Ingredients

When building a hair care routine, start with products that are specifically formulated for natural hair care for women. Look for shampoos, conditioners, and styling products free from sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, as these can be harsh on delicate hair. Brands like Blair Botanicals offer options rich in botanical ingredients that can nourish and moisturize without stripping away essential oils. Ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera, coconut oil, and jojoba oil work wonders to keep black hair hydrated and manageable.

Deep Conditioning Is Essential

Deep conditioning is a vital part of natural hair care for black hair. Once a week, treat your hair to a nourishing deep conditioning session. Look for conditioners infused with natural oils and proteins, which help restore moisture, strengthen hair strands, and improve elasticity. Deep conditioning can also protect hair from breakage and keep it soft, which is especially beneficial if you style your hair frequently.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

Moisture is the cornerstone of natural hair care for women, especially for those with black hair. Using leave-in conditioners and light oils like argan or olive oil can lock in moisture without weighing hair down. It’s also helpful to use a moisturizing spray or cream daily to prevent dryness, especially if you live in a dry climate. Keep in mind that using water-based products will add hydration, while oils seal in the moisture for lasting softness and shine.

Avoid Heat Styling as Much as Possible

Heat styling tools can severely damage natural hair by weakening the hair structure and making it prone to breakage. For natural hair care, try to limit the use of flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers. If you must use them, consider applying a heat protectant spray to minimize the damage. Embracing natural hairstyles such as twists, braids, and buns can help preserve the health of your hair without exposing it to high temperatures.

 

Protect Your Hair at Night

Nighttime protection is an often-overlooked aspect of natural hair care for black hair. Using a silk or satin scarf or pillowcase can reduce friction that causes breakage and frizz. These materials allow your hair to glide smoothly as you sleep, which keeps it looking fresh and prevents tangling. You can also try the "pineapple" method, where you loosely gather your hair on top of your head, to maintain curls and protect your hairstyle overnight.

The Best Keratin Hair Conditioner: Your Key to Healthy Locks

In today’s world, hair damage is an all-too-common issue. Whether it’s caused by environmental stress, heat styling, or chemical treatments, our hair often ends up looking dull, dry, and frizzy. For those looking to restore their hair’s health, shine, and strength, a keratin-based conditioner can be a game-changer. This article explores everything you need to know about the best keratin hair conditioner, its benefits, and how to choose the best conditioner for damaged hair .

Understanding Keratin and Its Role in Hair Care

Keratin is a natural protein found in our hair, nails, and skin. It is responsible for maintaining the strength, elasticity, and structure of your hair. However, over time, keratin in the hair can become depleted due to factors like pollution, UV exposure, heat styling, and chemical treatments like coloring or perming. When this happens, the hair becomes prone to damage, frizz, and breakage.

Keratin conditioners contain hydrolyzed keratin, which helps replenish the lost protein in your hair, repairing damage, restoring shine, and improving overall hair health.

Why You Need a Keratin Conditioner for Damaged Hair

If your hair has seen better days and is showing signs of damage such as split ends, rough texture, or frizziness, you should consider switching to a conditioner for damaged hair. Keratin-infused conditioners are specifically designed to repair and protect your hair by forming a protective layer around each strand.

Key Benefits of a Keratin Conditioner for Damaged Hair:

Repairs Hair Damage: Keratin penetrates the hair shaft, repairing damage caused by heat, chemicals, and other stressors.

Reduces Frizz: By sealing the hair cuticle, keratin conditioners prevent moisture from causing frizz, leaving your hair smoother and shinier.

Increases Elasticity: Keratin strengthens your hair, reducing the likelihood of breakage and split ends.

Improves Shine: A keratin conditioner smooths the outer layer of your hair, enhancing its natural shine.

For those with severely damaged hair, the best keratin hair conditioner can help bring your locks back to life, providing long-term improvement in hair texture and health with consistent use.

How to Choose the Best Keratin Hair Conditioner

When selecting the best keratin hair conditioner, it’s important to look for a product that meets your specific hair needs. The ingredients in the conditioner should provide the right balance of moisture, protein, and protection are:

1. Hydrolyzed Keratin

Hydrolyzed keratin is the most effective form of keratin as it is broken down into smaller molecules that can penetrate the hair shaft easily. This helps rebuild damaged hair from the inside out.

2. Moisturizing Ingredients

Look for hydrating ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, or shea butter. These help lock in moisture and keep your hair soft and manageable.

3. Sulfate-Free Formula

Sulfates can strip your hair of natural oils, which is particularly harmful for damaged hair. Opt for a sulfate-free keratin conditioner to maintain your hair’s natural balance.

4. Vitamins and Amino Acids

Additional ingredients like Vitamin E, biotin, and amino acids can provide extra nourishment, boosting the health of your hair and making it more resistant to damage.

Best Conditioner for Curly Hair in India: What Makes It Special?

Curly hair tends to be drier and more prone to frizz than straight or wavy hair, making it essential to find a keratin conditioner that not only smooths but also deeply hydrates. The best conditioner for curly hair in India needs to address specific concerns like moisture retention, curl definition, and frizz control.

Many of the best keratin hair conditioners for curly hair in India contain a blend of keratin proteins, moisturizing oils (like argan or coconut oil), and ingredients like shea butter to provide deep hydration without weighing down curls. They work by sealing the cuticle, which helps lock in moisture and enhances the natural shape of your curls.

How to Use a Keratin Conditioner for Maximum Results

To get the most out of your keratin conditioner, follow these steps:

Start with a Keratin Shampoo: Using a keratin-based shampoo before conditioning helps remove buildup and prepares your hair to absorb the benefits of the conditioner.

Apply Conditioner to Damp Hair: After washing, apply the conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be sure to avoid the scalp, as this can lead to excess oil buildup.

Let It Sit: For optimal results, leave the conditioner in for 3–5 minutes to allow the keratin to penetrate deeply into your hair shaft.

Rinse with Cool Water: Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water. This helps close the cuticle and locks in the moisture and keratin treatment.

Use Consistently: To maintain the benefits of keratin, use the conditioner 2–3 times per week, depending on your hair’s condition.

Conclusion: Why You Should Choose the Best Keratin Hair Conditioner

Whether your hair is damaged from heat styling, coloring, or environmental stressors, the best keratin hair conditioner can help repair and protect your strands. By replenishing the keratin that has been lost, these conditioners provide long-lasting smoothness, reduce frizz, and improve the overall strength and shine of your hair.

If you have curly hair, finding the best conditioner for curly hair in India can make a world of difference in keeping your curls defined, hydrated, and free from frizz. Similarly, for damaged hair, a keratin conditioner will work wonders in restoring your hair’s health and shine.

Incorporate a keratin-based conditioner into your hair care routine and enjoy the transformative effects of healthier, smoother, and more manageable locks

Skin update

So I went to do allergy testing and requested to go through allergy shots/dupixent. Thankfully I don't have many food allergies, so I would not need to cut out foods I enjoy to feel better.

However, I was diagnosed with a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. I'm happy I was able to find the ultimate cause of my sudden skin inflammation and I know how to tackle it, but I'm annoyed and frustrated by how dermatologists weren't able to diagnose me with that, yet my allergist was. I have been suffering with these symptoms for months, almost a year now.

It's caused by a growth of malassezia yeast on the skin surface. Some people react to this overgrowth and experience inflammation. The yeast tends to grow on body parts that contain hair follicles and sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, head, neck, ears, armpits and groin area. Everyone has this yeast within their skin microbiome. And it's not caused by candida overgrowth in the gut because that's a completely different yeast species. So following a protocol to eliminate candida from the gut won't do anything. Neither will anti-microbials because those target pathogenic bacterial like strep and staph, and seborrheic dermatitis is not caused by that. Because it's a surface level problem, it is best to address this topically than from within. But apparently malessezia also lives in the gut.

I do want to see another dermatologist who can help me develop a skin care routine to address this condition. Using anti-fungal shampoo a few times a week is a good idea. Using it as a cleanser and body was as well. Vaseline makes the condition worse so I'm going to avoid slugging. But I want to find a moisturizer that's hydrating enough but won't make my condition worse. I think vaseline should be okay as a lip balm for now, but I can also ask about lip balms that won't irritate it. As well as hair products.

It's a good idea to avoid products with alcohol, oils and butter like coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, avocado oil, shea butter,

This site contains useful information on how to manage it (they even mention flax oil):

Probiotic and hormone-balancing supplements can help too.

Steroids can be used to reduce inflammation, but I don't want to use those.

Regarding my hands, I don't know what's causing this yet. I'm getting allergy shots and dupixent. I touch my face and scalp a lot so there could be transfer. Also to the rest of my body which is why I get itchy. So using the dandruff shampoo as a body wash can help.

It's been 2 days following this protocol and my face and neck and ears look better. But I'm going to give it 2 weeks at least. Then I'll meet with a dermatologist and then deal with my hands and the dupixent and allergy shots.

I'll continue to take flax because it does help with skin and even period cramps. However it doesn't help much with allergies.

I'm going to do blood work on Monday for insulin resistance and hormone markers. Not related to my skin condition but I want to have a healthy hormone balance and also be metabolically healthy.

I am going to fast day 1-20 of my cycle and take a break the week before my period (day 21+). I'm going to brisk walk more often too. Those 2 things should help a lot with metabolic wellness along with eating an anti-inflammatory low glycemic diet, which I already do. This is something I can achieve passively, but my skin is the main thing giving my a hard time now.
