DO I KNOW WHAT ALL THESE INGREDIENTS DO?
Honestly no I do not.. reading through the ingredients you would see familiar ingredients like sage, rosemary even oat meal...but personally I would only be sure abut the jojoba oil, fragrance and of course water. But whatever the properties of these ingredients it is definitely working for me. :)

SOURCE : PERSONAL ALBUM
DID I FEEL THE MAGIC???

Moisturizes ... 100% ....I DEFINITELY DID FEEL THIS MAGIC,,, it could keep my hair moisturized for over 24 hours :)
Strengthens ... Honestly I did not pay attention to this property...but I guess it worked because I my breakage is minimal when I use it
Define curls ... yuppp this I experienced... when applied, automatically my curls come to life...
Softens hair ... I definitely experienced the "it feels like heaven" feeling when I apply it... my hair just gets super soft making it easy to detangle...
Adds shine ... I would not say you get the same shine as applying oil or something greasy...but there is definitely some shine..
Enhances growth ... Maybe it does maybe it does not but it contains jojoba oil and menthol :)
For healthy braids ... using it while you have braids installed it just magical ... I don't worry about my roots drying up... and also it gives the scalp a soothing feeling ...
Heals scalp ... I did not have a problem with scalp so nothing to say about this.
Relieves chemical burns ... I do not apply chemicals...lol
Non-greasy ...  For someone like me who hates oil or grease in my palms...this feature is just perfect... Unfortunately though the grease factor was replaced with an "almost sticky" factor...my hands just felt too uncomfortable.
No drip ... True!! That's all I can say
Prevents itching and dandruff ... Itching part true...used it while I had braids installed... Dandruff?? never had a problem with it :)
Increases body ... Did not pay particular attention to this
Thermal protection ... Never applied heat after using it.

THE DECEIVING FEATURE
SOURCE: PERSONAL ALBUM
ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS? ... The sticky hand feeling after use and with the type I bought I expected it more fluid almost watery but it was still in its thick state...so yeah the bottle deceived me :(

 OVERALL  FEELING ... I would probably give it a 4.8 star rating and yes I will definitely purchase more :)

Moisture Plus :: GHE (Green House Effect)

Current Location: Ghana
Season: Harmathan
 
The weather is so dry now. It even dries out the hair. Dry hair leads to breakage. You might think just protective style and everything would be solved. Unfortunately that is not totally true because you still have to moisturize in  protective style. I decided to start this moisture plus regimen as soon as my weave came off because I couldn't get to every area on my scalp under the weave. That is Greenhouse effect ( GHE)
 
WHAT EXACTLY IS GHE?
well its no different to the greenhouse effect of plants. You are cutting out the oxygen the hair is forced to produce nutrients from the root to the ends.
 
WHY GHE?
The primary reason for GHE is for hair growth.  Many good reviews all over the Internet from people all around the world. But I realised every morning when I take off my plastic cap it feels really moist and my hair does not dry out as fast anymore.
 
WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR GHE?
A PLASTIC CAP!!!!!!! some people may use a shower cap but it is plastic so still counts (I have not tried it though)
Oil or moisturizer of your choice.
A scarf to secure your plastic cap (if GHE is done in the night)
 
PROCEDURE
Just place the plastic cap over your head, secure it. VOILA! Ideally, people may practice the hot oil treatment or inversion method and conclude with GHE. I am usually in for the moisture so any moisturizer or oil or nothing at all works just fine for me. :)
 
DOES GHE HAVE A SPECIAL TIME?
No anytime is good. I know of lady who applied/practiced GHE when she was in a wig. So anytime is ideal depending on you.
 
HOW LONG SHOULD I HAVE THE PLASTIC CAP ON?
This also depends on you but please don't go 24 hours give your hair some breathing space. I usually do it overnight. 
 
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO IT:
Listen to your hair. Everyone's hair is different. I do it overnight.

CAN IT BE DONE IN A PROTECTIVE STYLE?
I did it while in braids once..though I had to get a bigger plastic bag lol.. for weaves I don't think you would want to ruin the weave :)


NB: I only stuck to moisture restoration aspect of GHE. Fingers-crossed for a post on the hair growth part(lol I will need pictures to show)
 

why don't you try it and give me a review miranaya1@hotmail.com

CREATING A REGIMEN FOR LONGER AND HEALTHY HAIR...


Hi sisters,

 Mimeldo_Curlzzz wishes you a HAPPY NEW YEAR. Abundant blessings in 2015. Wishing you longer and healthy hair this year.

The problem however has to be with having or creating a regimen. There are so many talks about having a regimen. Let us be honest here, I (Miranaya) do not have a regimen I follow point by point. But in 2015 I am developing a regimen and encouraging you to do the same. The basis of the regimen is to give your hair what it loves. You should study your hair, know its type and the kind of products it works best with. You should give a time span for each regimen because there is a belief that the hair gets familiar to a product after a while (I do not know how long though) and hence the effect on the hair is not significant or less significant. A regimen should be reasonable. It should not contain so many "to-dos” at a particular time or moment, for example a daily regimen should not have so many things you would feel lazy to do eventually.  Well then we have our tips for creating a regimen.

TIPS:

v KNOW YOUR HAIR TYPE

v KNOW THE PRODUCTS THAT WORK BEST...EXPERIMENT WITH PRODUCTS

v DO NOT HAVE SO MANY “TO-DOS” ON DAILY OR WEEKLY BASIS

v MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR PRODUCT SWITCHES OR CHANGE

 

NB: DO NOT USE SOMEONE’S REGIMEN. IT MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT WORK FOR YOU. WE HAVE DIFFERENT HAIR TEXTURES. DEVELOP YOUR OWN REGIMEN!!!!
