A Little Help From Your Natural Ingredients the coconut


  With so many products out on the market sometimes the simple decisions can seem so hard. I love to keep things as natural as possible when it comes to my products, that means cheaper and healthier products. With so many products available right in my kitchen I usually make a lot of personal home care for my hair and skin. My number 1 oil that I use for my hair is coconut oil, you can buy this oil or if your like me make it at home. Coconut has been amazing in my hair, I make a scalp conditioning oil mix with it plus I also had it to my conditioner.

  Coconut MILK and OIL can be used extensively to strengthen and condition hair. Moving over to Avocado, it’s full of essential fatty acids, its creamy state makes a great home-made conditioner. I used this mask when I feel like my hair has been drying out and need a little extra love.

  Olive oil which I have talked so much about is a mediterranean source used for thousands of years. With a powerful conditioning natural, it also seals in moisture into your hair. This oil will give your hair all the love it needs to grow properly and retain your length over the years.

  Eggs are a must for me every month, I always make sure I do a protein mask for my hair. In the beginning I would use store-bought protein treatment, but I have realize that my hair do much better with the natural protein. Eggs are an excellent source of proteins that helps prevent breakage by strengthening your hair strands. If you want your hair length to stay on your head, you have to take care of the hair that has already grown out.

 Honey is a wonderful hummectant that boots shine and help soften coarse hair. Apple cider vinegar is also of great source to cleanse your scalp and makes your hair shine by closing the cubicles.

Growing Your Hair using 'The Power of Two' combination of herbs

The combination of herbs and oil have more benefits than we can even begin to imagine. It's all a matter of finding the right combination and mixing it all in the right way. Herbs like Saw Palmetto have been use for centuries as both a food staple and healing medicinal herb.

When your body produces a larger amount of DHT it causes hair loss in men as well as women. You can find stinging nettle in the wild, but make sure to use gloves because if the leaf comes in contact with human skin it may sting. Both herbs are available in capsules and herbs, but saw palmetto is also ointments, tinctures and teas. By combining these two herbs together you can get a in oils and rinse, your hair will benefits from strength and prevent premature hair loss.

Growing Your Hair by ’Stop Looking for a Magic Product’ to work overnight

With hair growth I have made some mistakes just because I wanted to grow my hair supper fast. I would see all those natural girls with their big hair and my goal was to get that length in no time. The true of the matter is everyone hair is different, and most importantly hair takes time to grow. You need to focus on the health of your hair not just how long it is. If you want your hair to grow overnight chances are you’re doing more damage to your hair than you think. There is no magic product to grow your hair two to seven inches in a week or even a month sometimes. I first started with A hair growth pill witch work only so much because of how damage my hair was. I never got the full effect because my hair was not healthy enough to have the growth the pill was providing. I than move on to regular store-bought products that i notice some of the natural ladies using online. I try garnier fruictis products, VO5 conditioners, Pantene ProV, and so many others. One major mistake I believe I made was never giving my hair enough time to adjust to the new product. If I found something new that was supposed to work better I ran and got it.

 I soon realize after a while my hair would grow but it would look really bad and it was shedding quite a lot. I now became really cautious about what I was putting in my hair, I mean not just the products but the ingredients as well. I started researching each one by itself and the effects it has on my hair. The best advice I got from one of the YouTube videos I watch was a lady stating that ’If you can’t pronounce an ingredient do not putt it in your hair’. I have taking that rule to heart in all ways, making sure I known exactly every ingredients I am putting in my hair. The minute I started doing that I realize how just about every store-bought product was not going to work for my hair care. After reading the ingredients I could not get past the first three, after that I decided to go find all natural products. Even those did not make a big difference in my hair to start with. A little help was giving, but because my hair was still unhealthy it was not working like it should. I became so frustrated I will admit that for about two months I would just wash my hair every week and leave it alone. In the end of the two months I decided to not give up and get back to taking care of my hair. When I went back I did it differently not only with the products but my regimen. I first figure out what was not going right with my hair, my shedding, how it never hold any moisture, split ends, and no growth really. I Decided also to also cut off about two to three inches of my hair to give it a good start. I now make my own hair products from natural products that I buy at the grocery store with carrier and essential oils. I started getting the results that my hair was due to have months ago. Even after I cut off my two inches after about two months I got my growth back.

 My take on this is that you should never look for a ‘magic product’ of any kind. Your hair growth is base on health from what I got from my results. I got my results because I look at what my hair needed and keeping the health up. I change my diet, made my own products, and when ever my hair needed a trim I trim it without hesitation. The best advice I really can give is to focus on YOUR hair and not someone else's. Every single person hair is different no matter how much they seem to be the same. There is no such thing again as a magic product, look at what works for you. Some people have great products they use but are getting bad or no results, others used regular or bad products and gets great results. When you used strong hair products that hurts your hair and mask the damage you will never achieve true growth. How you handle your hair is the most important tool you have, treat your hair right and maintain it.


Remember everyone hair is different when it comes to taking care of it, check out this links for help and tips:

Lets grow your hair with shapoo in a new way

So yes we all have to shampoo our hair to keep the dirt, grim, and clogging oils away that we do not want on our scalp. With that said we have to shampoo our hair pretty much, especially if your like me an exercise daily. Over the past two years I have really try to find the best shampoo that does not completely strip my hair. I did not want to fear my shampoo day was going to just kill all the work I put into my hair. My best result was when I made my own natural shampoo at home. Theses two home-made shampoos are not only stopping my hair from shedding, but they help it grow and keep it really healthy. Making your own shampoo at home is easy and help in ways that most store-bought brands do not.

Before You Shampoo Treatment for your hair to avoid damage and get the best result

My hair does not really like shampoo no matter what kind it is. I recently started making my own shampoo at home and it has been much better but not 100% satisfactory. So in light of that fact I found a treatment to help my hair so it does not feel rough after its been shampoo.


Treatment:
1 cup of Aloe vera gel
4 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp nettle tincture
1 tbsp rosemary oil
1 tbsp vitamin E oil


After gathering all your products just mix it all products together and rub it on your scalp, leave it in for about 10 to 15 minutes, after rinse hair with warm water and shampoo as usual.


Tips:
check for allergies and other side effects, some people have sensitive scalp and may not be able to use these products, you can always just use the aloe Vera gel because it’s really not harmful and works with just about any hair type.

Growing Your Hair: your first tip to new hair growth

For the past year and a half I have stop perm my hair and decided to leave it in its natural state. As most people may or may not known those store-bought products are full of mineral oils that coat your strand. For many manufactures mineral oils are a staple in the majority of their products that contain synthetic ingredients because it acts as a preservative. For most people the research behind the ingredients of your hair products never happens. I can admit to making that mistake for many years from when i started taking care of my hair. I would go to the hair salon and just go by a product that my stylist recommended. I would go to the beauty shops and just look at the front of the products and except that it tell me it will work. After my hair just stop growing about three years ago I notice something was just not working for me. Mineral oil is the result of the distillation of petroleum which acts as a saran wrap against your scalp, slowing down one of the skin’s main job which is to eliminate toxins. The main oil that about every manufactures love to put in their products, the number one product that was on every one of my hair products at home. On the other hand natural oils are even better and can easily absorbed by the skin. Growing your hair require more than just washing it and styling it. I have looked for months on different products and how they react to my hair. My first product is the jojoba oil for many reasons, number one to me is because it is the closes oil to compare to the one your scalp produces. Taking care of your hair mean to feed it the best products that it needs. These are a few things to known about why jojoba oil should be part of your hair care oils.


Composition of Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax ester that comprises 50 percent of the weight of the jojoba seed. According to the Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine, jojoba oil is an ideal cosmetic ingredient for products designed to moisturizer and protect, due to its chemical composition and stable nature. Natural jojoba oil is an extremely pure triglyceride-free oil, low in, if not entirely free, of gums, carboxylic acids, hydroperoxides, tars, phosphatides, chlorophylls, color bodies and malodorous low molecular weight carbonyl compounds.


Forms of Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is a naturally hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic antioxidant with superb moisturizer and clarifying properties. Unrefined jojoba oil is golden-colored with a slight odor. The purity of unrefined jojoba oil has not been compromised in the filtration process. Cosmetic manufacturers often use refined jojoba oil, as it is colorless, odorless, and mixes well with other cosmetic ingredients. The term “cold pressed” indicates that only a small amount of heat was used in the extraction process in order to maintain jojoba oil’s purity. “expelled pressed” requires only a small amount of heat as well, and sustains the integrity of the oil.


How Jojoba Oil Helps
Jojoba is structurally similar to the sebum our skin produces naturally. The Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine explains that if your scalp is dry, jojoba oil acts as a substitute, moisturising the hair follicle and preventing tangles and coarseness. If there is excess sebum, jojoba oil breaks down the buildup, cleaning hair, scalp and hair shaft. Jojoba oil dissolves residue buildup from hair products, as well as environmental pollutants.
 
 
Purchasing Jojoba Oil
If you purchase jojoba oil in its pure form, the brand HobaCare jojoba oil is 100 percent organic, expelled pressed and unrefined. Mountain Rose Herbs offers a cold-pressed unrefined organic jojoba oil, and Dessert Essence sells an organic, odorless, cold-pressed jojoba oil. Crabtree and Evelyn’s Jojoba Oil Shampoo and Conditioner and Rudy’s Natural Emu Oil and Jojoba Oil Shampoo and Conditioner are two hair care lines that feature the moisturizer and astringent properties of jojoba oil. Jojoba oil, especially in its pure, unrefined form, can be expensive, but it has a long shelf life and has an almost unlimited number of uses.

How to make your own coconut oil at home

Virgin coconut oil may be hard to find and are not readily available in some areas. I was out trying to buy some coconut oil and i could not find virgin coconut oil even at my Whole foods Market. So I went online to learn how to make my own. It was so much easier than I though, all i need was a few materials and a few days and I had my oil. I found it much more efficient to me and I got exactly what i wanted, which was just the virgin coconut oil. The materials and procedures are as listed at the bottom, try it and see the results yourself.


Materials:
10 fresh coconut
blender
cheesecloth/coffee filter
wide glass jar
Procedure:
  1. Extract coconut milk from fresh coconut.
a. To produce its milk, remove the meat from the shell.
b. Cut the coconut into strips or chunks. Place them in the blender.
c. Add a small amount of hot water.
d. Blend it for a few minutes.
e. Place the cheesecloth over the mouth of the glass jar.
f. Pour a little of the mixture over it.
g. Squeeze the cheesecloth to obtain the milk and separate the pulp.
h. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.


Tips:
  • Put just enough water. Too much liquid will overly dilute the milk.
  • You may opt to refrigerate the coconut strips before blending. Freezing them and then thawing will soften the coconut meat. This will enable you to extract more juice. Freezing does not alter the taste or nutrient content.
  1. Now that you have your milk let it rest in an uncovered glass jar for 1- 2 days.
  2. As effect of the fermentation process, the water and oil will separate. A layer of curd will form on top and the water settles down. The oil is to be found in the top two layers.
  3. Refrigerate the jar to let the oil and the curd harden.
  4. Remove the oil/curd from the jar after it has solidified. Throw away the liquid/water.
  5. Heat the oil and curd in a saucepan 140 to 180 °F (50-60 °C) for about 12 hours.
  6. Let it cool. You can now see oil and coconut solids in the pan.
  7. Separate the solids from the oil.
  8. Put cheesecloth over the mouth of the glass jar.
  9. Pour the oil mixture into the cheesecloth.
  10. Let the oil drain for a couple of hours.
  11. Squeeze the cheesecloth and discard remaining curd.
Depending on the size of the coconut, this process will produce 3-4 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil.
Tips:
  • Fermentation occurs best at temperatures of 85-105 degrees F. Place the oil in a slightly heated oven, if your room is not this warm.
  • In draining the oil in the cheesecloth, make sure that the room temperature is 76 degrees F. This is to ensure that the oil will not solidify.
