As an expert in hair care, I'm here to guide you towards a healthier hair journey. Let's address five common mistakes that we unknowingly make when it comes to scalp and hair care:
1. Overwashing: Washing your hair every day can strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and breakage. Instead, opt for washing your hair 1-2 times a week or use a co-wash to refresh your curls without drying them out.
2. Skipping Deep Conditioning: Deep conditioning is crucial for replenishing moisture and nourishing your hair. Don't skip this step! Use a deep conditioner every 2 weeks to restore hydration and promote hair health.
3. Heat Styling Without Protection: Excessive heat styling without using a heat protectant can cause damage and weaken the hair shaft. Always apply a heat protectant spray or serum before using any heat tools to shield your strands from heat damage.
4. Neglecting Scalp Care: A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair growth. Regularly cleanse and exfoliate your scalp with a gentle shampoo or scalp scrub to remove product buildup and promote circulation. Don't forget to moisturize your scalp with a lightweight oil or serum.
5. Using Harsh Products: It's important to choose hair care products specifically formulated for your hair type. Avoid products containing sulfates and harsh chemicals that can strip your hair of moisture. Look for moisturizing shampoos, sulfate-free cleansers, and silicone-free conditioners that will keep your hair hydrated and nourished.
Now, let's explore safe and effective alternatives to these mistakes:
1. Adjust Your Wash Routine: Aim for washing your hair every two weeks, and consider using co-washing or dry shampoo between washes to refresh your hair.Remember, healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. By avoiding these common mistakes and following these alternative solutions, you'll be well on your way to achieving strong, beautiful hair. Embrace your natural texture, nourish your strands, and enjoy your hair care journey!

Do you have dry hair even when you try to moisturize it?
Do you feel as though your hair simply will not retain moisture?
If you said yes to both this article is just for you.
To get your hair healthy and balance the first start is knowing your hair porosity level.
I will be sharing with you the vital information in understanding your hair porosity.
WHAT IS HAIR POROSITY AND THE DIFFERENT LEVELS
Hair porosity is your hair's ability's to maintain moisture. The three levels of hair porosity is Low, medium, and high.
LOW POROSITY HAIR
Low Porosity hair cuticles are tightly shut which makes it difficult for moisture to be easily absorbed. Do you find products you apply to your hair aren’t easily absorbed and usually just sit on your hair? You may have low porosity hair.
If your hair appears to be moisturized but feels dry, that’s an indication that your hair may have a low porosity level and that your hair’s cuticles are tightly shut which makes it difficult for moisture to be easily absorbed.
Low porosity hair requires moisturizers rich in emollients such as shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil. It also benefits from humectant products, which attract and hold moisture to your hair.
MEDIUM POROSITY HAIR
Hair with medium porosity cuticle layer is looser, allowing just the right amount of moisture to enter while preventing too much from escaping. Hair with normal porosity tends to hold styles well, and can endure chemical processing with predictable results. We do not advise these processes monthly because it can damage your hair and increase its porosity.
Occasional deep conditioning treatments with protein conditioners can benefit medium porosity hair, but proteins should not be included in your daily regimen.
HIGH POROSITY HAIR
Hair porosity hair can be caused by chemical processing, hair install with poor maintenance, or environmental damage.
High porosity hair has gaps in the cuticle due to damage, which allow too much moisture into your hair and make it more likely to become frizzy and tangled in warm climates.
HAIR POROSITY TEST
I suggest two simply tests.
It is important to note that these tests are not 100% accurate but are a good way to start:
HAIR TIPS
Low Porosity Hair Tips:
If you have low porosity, there are a few things you can do about it. Use a steamer or your own body heat by using a plastic cap when your conditioning or using moisturizers will help open up the closed cuticle layer. This will allow moisture to seep into the strand. Avoid moisture sapping products, including alcohol based gels, hairspray and mousse. Use our Genius Leave in Conditioner which is an water based, liquid leave in conditioner that will moisturize without heaviness.
Medium Porosity Hair Tips:
If your hair falls into this category, then there’s something you can do about it.
Occasional deep conditioning treatments with protein conditioners such as our Hydration Conditioner can benefit medium porosity hair, but proteins should not be included in your daily regimen.
High Porosity Hair Tips:
For this category of hair, using leave-in conditioners is going to be helpful since they tend to lose moisture.
Layering your hair with moisturizers (butter, lotions, etc.) and sealers (oils) can help lock in the moisture that you add-in.
Try using the Hair Growth System for an entire hair care system to support healthy porosity to moisturizes and nourishes hair to support healthier hair growth.
You will also want to use anti-humectants if you live in a climate with high heat and humidity levels.
This will help seal your damaged cuticles and prevent them from absorbing excess moisture in the air.

You may have heard that Jamaican Black Castor Oil settles an upset stomach but that's just one of its many claimed benefits. When it comes to incorporating the versatile potion into your beauty routine, the perks may be plentiful.
Grown & Maintain Our HG hair drops have Jamaican Black Oil which makes the hair grow and combination with other organic oils used in our special formulation. The Jamaican Black Castor Oil is one of our main ingredients. It has omega-9 which is excellent for hair retention. I call it the five wonders because it detoxifies, seals and repairs, strengthens and protects the hair.
Get Lovely Lashes Our HG hair drops also grows out lashes. The good news is that applying mascara is a great way to make eyelashes look fuller. The bad news is the results are temporary. HG hair drops are the solution, we have properties that strengthen the hair and protect them from shedding which could help lashes appear more voluminous over time.

COVID has all both us to some form of struggle but we will continue to keep our spirits high. During this time, we all have seen us come together like no other. One of my favorite aspects of blackness is our all-encompassing spirit of innovation. Even in the times of COVID-19, black people create and transform. A great example is a designer Anifa Muvemba of Hanita. She revolutionized the fashion industry with 3D virtual presentation of her Pink Label Congo collection. Hanifa staged a fashion show with a difference over Instagram Live, with ghost-like 3D renderings in place of models, and a pitch-black backdrop in place of a show space.
Being Black is tied to innovation, from our ancestors constructing the Pyramids of Giza to using braid styles as maps to help people escape slavery to building lifesaving technologies. One trend that I am loving right now is supporting black business and blackout Tuesday, we are showing our strength of the Black Dollar aka Black Power. Our greatness and innovation has shown to be necessary. We are evolving and our evolution has always been revolutionary.
With much love,

Lash Extensions have taken over the beauty world, honey! Women are leaning towards lash lifts, and extensions to enhance the appearance of longer and fuller lashes over using mascara.
Beauty companies have sold over $8.1 billion worth of mascara last year, according to Euromonitor International. Its growth is expected to decline from 4 percent in the last three years to 2 percent through 2021.
Mascara is the beauty industry's largest category. Lash treatments like lifts, extensions, and tinting, are on the rise as well!
Personally I’m a mascara junkie but I love the look of an amazing full lash! Hairglamd.com has great quality lashes that will have your eyes looking extremely flirty!
The “Cheer up” lash is a 100% Mink Lash. That can be reused up to 32 times that’s over 10x more than store brands.The “Felicity Lash” is also a 100% Mink Lash. It will give you the wispie look you are looking for if you’re more of a natural lash kind of girl but gives you just enough drama.
The “Glam Fever Lash” is the most dramatic out of the three. This lash screams “Im that chick”! This lash will take your look to the next level!
