A
little introduction to my hair, over the years in my teens I bleached, dyed,
had extensions glued and clipped. Around august 2013 my hair was down to just
above my bust but it was rather straggly, I had it all chopped off into a
Hannah Snowdon style graduated bob with a full fringe, although it was quite
severe and very short I had finally rid my hair of all the damage. It grew out
and I had it leveled so it wasn’t graduated and I had the healthiest, strongest
hair. However my lesson had not been learnt and I decided to bleach it and dye
it purple (I have no idea) so now I am recovering from the latest episode of
hair abuse. I have regular trims and use multiple treatments and oils so here’s
the latest discovery…
I am
bored of buying typical boots brands; L’oreal, Dove etc that might make my hair
feel healthier but really it is just coating it in silicone. I have tried
natural products too Lush’s h'suan wa which is brilliant as well as coconut oil
and olive oil then I thought of one type of hair care I haven’t tried.
Afro Caribbean
hair products, now as this type of hair is naturally drier I thought why not.
There is a small section in my local boots where I picked up the Olive Oil Pak
99p, I then went to the market where there are several stalls that specialize
in Afro Caribbean hair products/wigs/extensions and spoke to the lady there who
recommended to me the Argan Oil heat protectant £4.20 and the Keratin Mask £1.
One
first impression the Olive Oil Pak was too rich, after shampooing it was still
there. The Argan Oil product is great and this is something I think I will
continue with, the Keratin Mask I am yet to try so I will keep you posted on
that.
So
next time you walk on by the products designed for Afro Caribbean hair take a
second to look.
I have recently had the same thought process and bought some of the protein packs... Fingers crossed :D
ReplyDeleteThe keratin is really amazing! I've just brought the shampoo and conditioner so will update if good! X
