7 Worst Things Not to Do to Your Hair

May 10, 2014 by RelaxedChic

There are loads of things you shouldn’t do to your hair but I think these are 7 points you should definitely avoid!

1. Using shampoos with Sulphate or Sodium

Do not use shampoos with Sulphate or Sodium on a regular basis, these can lead to hair damage.

2. Getting multiple hair treatments

Do not get multiple treatments like relaxing, colouring and straightening at/around the same time. Give your hair some rest.

3. Combing wet hair rigorously

Do not comb wet hair rigorously. Patience is the key for healthy hair and also wet hair will shed more, so avoid combing them again and again.

4. Using products with mineral oil and petroleum (as the 1^st ingredient!)

Do not use hair products with mineral oil and petroleum-basedproducts ARE BAD! Stay away! (You can normally find these ingredients in hair greases)

5. Styling gels with alcohol as the 1^st ingredient!

Do not over-use hair styling gels with alcohol as the first ingredient. Stay away from gels and lotions with alcohol!

6. Too much heat

Do not use too much heat. Blow dryers and hair straighteners leads to heat damage! Try to use once a month!

7. Small tooth Combs

Please do not use a small tooth comb to comb your hair!

Dinner Party

May 5, 2014 by RelaxedChic

I like hosting dinner parties but sometimes I’m too lazy to cook ! But I have found a simple meal which you don’t do much cooking ……………a roast dinner ! Local supermarkets do everything for you nowadays. You can buy an already seasoned chicken and fresh vegetables already cut and peeled for you. Then you basically just bang everything in the oven, leaving you more time to socialise with your guests! The only problem you might get with a roast is time keeping, however, I’ve got an app which helps with timing all your food. The app is called Timer + and you can set up multiple timers at once ! It also runs in the background so you can still use other apps.

So my starter was duck pate with onion chutney and French bread.
The main was roast chicken, with roasted potatoes, stuffing, roasted vegetables and Yorkshire pudding.
And one of my guests offered to buy desserts.

Hair Journey

August 19, 2013 by RelaxedChic

What’s a hair journey?

Everyone might go on a hair journey for different reasons. The reason why I went on a hair journey was to maintain my hair length and to have healthy hair

A Hair Journey to me is a step or procedure which you take to change your hair

Before you start your hair journey you need to do some research. You need to find out what are you doing wrong. If growth is one of your problems (like mine). The reason why we tend not to see the growth is because WE DON”T TAKE PROPER CARE OF OUR HAIR!

Reasons why relaxed hair seems not to grow:
1. Dirty Hair. Hair grows when its clean ! If your washing your hair every 3 weeks, your not washing your hair enough.
2. Over relaxing ! Relaxing your hair every 6 weeks is over processing (damaging) .
3. Grease ! Mineral oil and Petroleum-based products ARE BAD ! Stay away
4. No moisture. Relaxed hair should always have moisture.
5.Too much Heat. Too much hair straightening and blow drying

This results to, dry, breakage and unhealthy hair. Going on a Hair Journey can change this.

Hair damage

Relaxed hair needs:

1. Daily moisturising ♥
2. Shampooing and DEEP conditioning 1-2 a week ♥
3. Co-Washing once a week ♥
4. Trimming every 6-8 weeks ♥
5. Hot oil and Protein treatment once a month ♥
6. Relaxing every 10-16 weeks ♥
7. Reduce of heat ! ♥

In my next post I would explain more about a Hair Journey Part 2 .
