I have always had tiny, baby type curls
along my front hairline, but looking at my hairline recently I noticed that it
definitely looked a lot finer than I remembered.
Cue panic and much staring into the mirror
whilst interrogating Mr LPM on if he had noticed it, and if so why he hadn’t
said anything! In typical male fashion his response was a calm no you look
great! Admittedly any other response was liable to get him into trouble… however it did manage to calm me down.
I realised that no I am not suddenly
turning into a middle aged balding man, and on much reflection I remembered that
it started when I was going through the stressful period I mentioned I had a
few months ago. This meant I didn’t have as much time to take care of my hair,
so had worn it in a few too many tightly scraped buns and had also generally neglected
my hair in regards to treatments and deep conditioning. (Always a bad idea with
fragile Afro hair)
Anyhu, I’m now armed with a good hair trim
and two new products that I’m testing out in the hope that they will provide my
hairline with a bit of a boost.
I’m also working on a new hair regime, but
I’m currently in the early phases, so once I’m sure that it works I will post
it up.
The two products I’m about to trial are from
the new Phyto Specific Range for Curly Coiled Relaxed Hair.
You all know that I’m a big believer of the
phrase beauty starts from within, so the first is Cap’Energy, a dietary supplement
for the hair and nails.
The key ingredients are the B Vitamins,
which have a well-known track record of being beneficial for hair health and
growth. They are said to provide
essential nutrients to increase vitality and to strengthen your hair. Vitamin
B6 helps to synthesise cysteine, the natural amino constituent of keratin. While
Vitamin B8, also known as biotin is essential for hair and nail growth and for
preventing hair loss and premature gray hairs.
The second is Phytotraxil – an anti
thinning treatment for traction alopecia. Its meant to boost hair growth in
traumatised areas caused by pulling and is said to be perfect for post weaving,
braiding and relaxing.
I’ve literally only just started using the
products and will come back with an update in the next couple of months on how
effective they have been on my hair.
Have you tried any of these products? Or
have you experienced similar hair problems before? What did you do? Would love
to know in the comments below
