Grow and Glow

ABOUT TODAY's EPISODE Hi everyone! This season is packed with "gbas gbos" - not sure how to explain the latter to my non Nigerian listeners. Let's just say we are debunking myths in hair care as we reach for healthy hair. We will explore common hair problems such as hair fall, dandruff and split ends, and see if these hair care practices we are avoiding, could actually help mitigate these. Even though heat styling gets a bad reputation, we will talk about how heat styling might not be the enemy, and how you can grow long healthy hair with heat styling. In this episode, we show how heat styling can reduce single strand knots, smooth the cuticle and increase length retention. It is important to know that wet hair is hair in its most fragile state. So wet hair CAN lead to decreased length retention through promotion of single strand knots, cuticle lifting, tangling and breakage As usual, we will be debunking these hair care myths with scientific evidence Heat styling is not for everyone so take what you need and skip the rest. That said, if you have coily hair and have struggled with retaining length and you need a hair growth tip, try this and let me know. When embarking on heat styling as a way of retaining length in our hair growth journey, it is important to use heat responsibly. Use of a heat protectant is important. Consider investing in heat tools that use lower temperatures to achieve smoother hair. For example, Dyson hair dryers and Rev Air are great. So come back next week as we do a deep dive.

ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODEHi everyone! Vaseline aka petroleum jelly or should I say petroleum jelly aka Vaseline is something that most of us are familiar with. It truly is such a versatile product and over the years has gotten a bad rep for reasons I cannot fathom and some just not true.So today's episode is one where I save you money by showing you how vaseline or petroleum jelly can replace 15 products. Yup! 15! And the beauty of vaseline is that it is so affordable and accessible. I have never been to a country that did not have vaseline or it's own generic petroleum jelly.What I also love about vaseline is just about anyone can use it. It is one of the safest products to use. I am sure there are some ways you have used vaseline and others where you are like "wow". I truly hope you go away from this episode with a wealth of knowledge and vaseline in every room.
