My Hair Growth Oil

This was supposed to be a video but I'm having a couple technical issues right now so I'll just explain it on here.
Well some of you may have heard me mention a couple of times on my channel,about the bald spot I used to have in the front of my hair....I wish I would have taken pics but at the time I had no clue that it would go away after using my hair oil. The bald spot was caused by tying my scraf too tight at night while I was transitioning. When I did my big chop it became really noticeable (to me at least) because my hair was so short. Sooo I decided to use the ingredients that I purchased to make my shea butter mixture and try to get the hair to grow back.

The Break Down:

The 2 Main Ingredients were rosemary essential oil and Castor Oil
Shea Butter, Coconut oil, Jojoba oil- I thought it would be good for moisture?? idk
Lemon and Orange essential oils- for fragrance....I STRONGLY dislike the smell of rosemary oil

I didn't really measure anything but the shea butter, coconut oil, and jojoba oil were about the same amount.

The Application

Every night before bed, I did scalp massages with the oil all over my head and then on that darn bald spot. When I was bored during the day I would massage my scalp for a couple of minutes.

And that's pretty what I did. I think I first started to see results after 2-3 months. Please guys keep in mind that this is what worked for me and there are soooo many variables to consider when trying to regrow hair. If you don't like an oil I used then change it out for something else that you do like.

Jilbere Straightening and Cutting Tool Review

I think the number one question asked from my straightening video was "What is that tool you are using to straighten your hair?" Well ladies and gents, it is the Jilbere Straightening and Cutting Tool. I purchased it over the summer and have you used twice. I love the fact that this tool has multiple purposes. You can use it for:

-straightenin those kinks

-blow dryin those kinks

-trimmin/cuttin those kinks

Now to be honest this tool doesn't exactly make your hair straighter. What it does is it detangles and smooths the hair so that when the heat hits it your hair can be all silky and smooth! So if don't really want to pay the $6.99 for it you can always just use your rat tail comb....but I like this tool better. Plus it's easier to do the comb chase method because the hair can't slip out of the teeth like when using the rat tail comb.

As far as using it for blow drying...umm yeah I probably wouldn't even try that. I haven't had a chance to use it for trimming/cutting but I'm sure it's AMAZING at getting nice clean cuts.

Price: $6.99

Availbility: Sally Beauty Supply

Overall: LOVES IT!!!

What I Do to Straighten my Hair

I'm soooo glad I decided to film a little of the process it takes for me to straighten my hair. I didn't think you all would be interested and it turns out many of you were! Many of you probably know my struggles with getting my hair to straighten and stay straighten, this time I was able to get it EVEN straigher...fingers crossed that this rain won't mess it up. I feel like I've learned so much about straightening natural hair since the first time I straightened, last year.

Products Used:

Shampoo: Tresemme Silky and Smooth

Conditioner: Tresemme Moisture something :)

Deep Condition/Treatment: Aphogee 2 Minute Re-constructor

Heat Protectant: GVP Silk Remedy

Tool: Conair Blow Dryer and Jilbere Vented Straightening/Cutting Comb (I love this thing. Review coming soon)

What I didn't show:

I started out as usual with shampooing,conditioning, and doing a little treatment. Something I did differently this time was that I detangled the mess out of my hair...which I found to REALLY REALLY REALLY help speed up the blow drying time.

-Enjoy,
