#6. Jojoba Oil - It is a natural ingredient that works not only for black hair but for all types of hair. It improves damaged hair and conditions hair. It is good to use as a hair sealant because it prevents hair from dryness and loosing moisture. It is also good to apply to conditioners,shampoos, and moisturizers because it will improve the health of your hair and will add a healthy shine to your hair. Can also be used as a make-up remover and as a facial, body,and lip moisturizer. 

#5. Vegetable Glycerin - Adds moisture to dry hair. Strengthens hair and helps hair grow. If you have relaxed hair, it softens new growth making your hair more managebale and smooth. By adding water to glycerin, it can be used as a daily moisturizer. Rememeber if used as a moisturizer, don't apply a lot because a little goes a long way.

Rocking The Hair Trend : Lace fronts

Originally, lace fronts were designed for people who had alopecia and for cancer patients. But today, lace fronts are gladly worn just because a person wants to. Lace fronts are wigs but are more natural looking than actual wigs because they have a lace mesh hair line that looks like a natural hair part. They can actually pass as looking like a hair weave. But they are even more versatile than wearing a hair weave because you can create a new hair part on either side of your lacefront without exposing any tracks. Even though, lace fronts are nothing new, they are still popular and are good to wear whether you are growing out your hair or to simply change up your hairstyle. When wearing a lace front, you can choose to glue or tape it around your hairline for secureness. Or you can just put it on, make sure the combs in wig are attached and secure to your hair, and there you go. Here are two of my favorite celebrities that are well known for wearing lacefronts, Beyonce' and Tyra Banks and they are rocking the hair trend.

Hair Tip Of The Day!

   Make sure to neutralize properly after washing out hair relaxer. This is a very important step because a neutralizer stops the hair relaxer from continuing to process in your hair. It also works in your hair to bring hair back to it's normal ph balance. Improper neutralizing leads to hair breakage and hair loss. Here is what you do: after washing the relaxer out your hair, wash hair with neutralizing shampoo 3 times. Then apply neutralizing shampoo to hair one more time and let it sit in your hair for 5 minutes. This way, the neutralizer will really work in hair to bring hair back to it's normal state.

Some types of Alcohol good for hair?

  So today, I was doing some research online to see if all alcohol is bad for hair. Come to find out, not all types of alcohol is bad for our hair. They are called fatty alcohols.
   Fatty alcohols are non-greasy, non sticky ingredients often used in hair products to make them thick and creamy. They are used as emollients ( hair softeners),add moisture to dry hair, and conditions hair. Here are some types of good alcohols that you should not be afraid of : Cetyl or cetearyl alcohol, ceteth-2-20, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, and propylene glycol.
   Now there are some alcohols that we should be afraid of because they dry out hair and makes hair frizzy. These alcohols are usually added to some hair products such as holding spray, to make product evaporate quickly in hair, not to help hair. Here are some types of alcohol that you SHOULD be afraid of : Ethanol, SD alcohol, SD alcohol 40, alcohol denat, propanol, propyl and isopropyl, and ethylene glycol.
