No More Frizzy Hair !

I've lived my whole life with frizzy, curly, and unmanageable hair. I've tried every product and home remedy. After getting to know how to work with my hair I found my own little routine that helped a lot. My hair can get dry very easily so now I take it easy with any heat on my hair. On rare occasions I will blow dry it. Most of the time I like to air dry it and then straighten it on a very low heat setting.

The most important thing you need to do no matter what is put moisture back into your hair. If you want it to grow then you need to nourish it. You can do this with hair masks and deep conditioning treatments. Now ... if you have EXTREMELY dry and damaged hair then let's be reasonable and agree that a deep conditioning treatment might not do the trick. You will definitely need to trim any hair that is dead. Honestly dead hair will not grow back so protect the healthy hair you have and trim it!!

I use many different drugstore brand hair masks and love changing it up constantly. I use brands like L'Oreal and Garnier Fructis. They have so many different ones to choose from and they all work great, but don't expect miracles.

Twice a week the most important thing I do is put a castor oil mask on my hair. 


NOW Solutions Castor Oil, 100 % Pure, 16 ounce



This is important because castor oil helps hair regrowth and to put natural nutrients back into your hair. When I put the oil onto my hair, I like to really massage it into my scalp because this also helps for hair stimulation and growth. I usually leave the castor oil mask in my hair for a couple of hours and then I wash it out. I promise you, you will see results immediately after you shower. Your hair will be softer, shinier, and no frizz.




My last step to help seal in the moisture, is to use Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz Serum. This stuff is so amazing and once I put it in and let my hair air dry, I see amazing results.

Here is a picture of my hair air-dried! I swear I didn't put any blow dryer or straightener to my hair! And let me tell you, this usually isn't possible for me. I found the right products for me and now I can say I absolutely love my natural hair!!

My new hair care secret....

What's better than shiny, healthy hair....NOTHING. Years ago I damaged my hair very badly from bleaching and coloring. Of course I was so focused on the end result that I wasn't paying attention to how much damage I was actually doing to my hair. At that time I wasn't really doing hair masks or taking any medicine to help keep my hair healthy. I was being an idiot!

Fast forward a couple of years and I basically had to hit rock bottom with my hair to understand how to take care of it. Now I proudly take great care of my hair and have seen how fast it has grown and also how soft and shiny it is. So let's talk about some products that have totally made my love my hair again.

First off I need to stress the importance of all-natural supplements and WATER. We all know how beneficial water is to our hair and skin. And let me tell you that all the fuss is trueeeee. Water is a miracle to my skin and hair. Supplements have also been a huge help to me. In the beginning you will probably say, okay nothing has changed and I feel like my hair looks the same. Patience my young one, these supplements take a good month to work through out system and to see results. On a daily basis I take:

- Fish Oil by Nature's Made
- Dr. Danielle's Bee Well (Bee pollen, Propolis, Royal Jelly)
- Folic Acid

So I didn't even know how amazing Royal Jelly and bee pollen is until my good friend Lisa told me about it. And it has changed my life!! Royal Jelly and bee pollen has so many benefits! It is like the fountain of youth if you ask me. I started taking it about 2 months ago and stopped halfway through because I felt like I didn't see a difference. Then my hair and skin began to look dull. Guess what this smart girl did next...I started taking those supplements again and I can already see a difference! Patience is definitely needed when it comes to supplements.

Okay, so we talked about some great stuff that help your body from the inside out, but there are also some great stuff that I like to use to nourish my hair. Firs thing you need to know about my hair is that it is naturally curly, frizzy, and dry. My hair sucks up moisture and can still look dry. The most wonderful remedy to this issue is a keratin treatment. Sadly, I can't afford a keratin treatment so I decided to check the drugstore and see what they had. I stumbled upon my new holy grail product when I received a sample of the Tresemme Keratin Smooth Treatment. Its a lotion that you put all over your hair after you shower, then you blow dry and straighten your hair to seal the product in with heat. Pretty similar to the steps in a real keratin treatment. I loved it so I went on to buy the keratin smooth shampoo and conditioner. These 3 products are the perfect recipe for shiny, smooth, luscious hair. After using these products my hair wasn't frizzy or dry at all.




I really hope you found this helpful because this has truly saved my hair and it has never been healthier. Just remember have some patience and be open to trying new products and you will be surprised by the results!
