Happy New Year and New Hair Colour










Happy New Year everyone. The year will be wonderful. Full of increased possibilities.
As the new year, I decided to try something new.
I am still continuing with my Premier creme rinse and Mega Tek. My hair is doing very well. Also I have decided to start taking Baldwins Biotin 5 mg, for ladies UK or otherwise, you can get biotin 5 mg anywhere. I have heard a lot of good things about 5 mg of Biotin and at Baldwins, you get 60 tablets for £7.95, which is good value for money, it can last me for two months.

Anyway, I take Evening primrose, 50 B-ccomplex, in the day time with a meal and take 5 mg of Biotin in the evening, or sometimes I take all my supplements in the evening.

What I have noticed is that my fingernails have a wonderful shine. It was pointed out to me by a man, when he was telling me about some hand cream, he asked me what I'm using on my nails, because they have a wonderful shine. I have not had any break outs at all. So I am very pleased with the biotin.

I decided to add some colours to my hair, I used L'Oreal Paris, Recital preferece Babylon Intense red, shade 6.66 and L'Oreal Excellence cream Light ash blonde, shade 9.1, I mixed the colour with a 40 volume developer, which I had bought. Using the highest developer will give my hair a higher lift, especially as it is so dark. Very pleased with the results, the colours came out very well. Eventually I will go to Sallys and get L'Oreal professional colours as the professional colour lasts a lot longer. However thumbs up for L'Oreal home colour, very good. The conditioners are excellent and I have not experienced any dryness. To keep the red colour from fading, I may try John Frieda auburn colour range or other colour treated shampoos and conditioners, there are several good ones on the market. At the moment I use a shampoo and conditioner for colour treated hair.

I did a brief length check, very pleased with my progress. My hair is on track!

Styles I am trying out







I had my hair previously in flat twists for at least five days and I loosed it out very carefully making sure that I did not disturb the coils. I also keep up the henna treatment, which I do every three week.









What's happening Now


I'm back with my beloved Mega Tek again. I liked using the Ovatian, and I still intend to get it. I still have some Ovatian Cell therapy left, so I am mixing it with the Ovatian, it is probably easier for me to get Mega Tek as the company is in England and once I order it, it takes me about 2-3 days to receive it.
What I did notice about Ovatian, it lengthens your hair, then thickens it, with the Mega Tek, it thickens your hair, before it lengthens it. I shall probably to a length check in the next couple of weeks or so.

My three month update

From the results of using Ovation hair products for three months, I am very pleased, I was able to retain my length and significant growth was seen in the back, and sides. Also the front also had little growth, but I would say not as much as the back and sides. My left side grew significantly.

My next length update will be done in three months time, during that time, I will be using Mega Tek and Ovation Cell therapy equal parts mixed together to apply on my scalp daily and to apply as a deep conditioner once week and I will leave it on overnight and apply the creme rinse.

Overall I am very pleased with the results, other things helped was massaging my scalp daily which I will continue. Also I am eating a lot of green vegetables, lettuce, spinach and kombu, which is a Japanese seaweed, red onions. Plus I now henna my hair once a month, which helps to add thickness and strenthen the very fine hairs that I have. I have used henna before in my previous post, however I was never consistent. I am due for my third henna treatment towards the end of this week.

My staple hairstyles




These are the hair styles, I am using, which are very simple and very easy to do and also, I can rinse my hair without me loosening out my hair. I am not the one for elaborate hair styles or doing very small twists. I feel that I spend a lot of time on my hair with the deep conditioning and my hairstyles, usually take me under 45 minutes to do and they last me until my next wash, which I do every week. Sometimes, my hair does unravel, but it does not take long to re-do again.

Castor oil treatment for my eyes and eyebrows


I have been putting castor oil on my eyebrows and eyelashes, twice daily once in the morning and evening, before I go to bed. Castor oil helps to thicken eyebrows and eye lashes, it takes about 6-8 weeks before you see any difference, plus I want to have my eyebrows threaded, so I can have full eyebrows with a nice shape. I would finally able to have thicker and longer eyelashes, so I will be updating in July, as it would be 6-8 weeks.
