Sleep Helps Hair Growth?

Sleep and Hair Growth 
Sleep is when the body does most of its repair work. When we forgo sleep, it shows up physically, emotionally and mentally. When the body loses out on sleep, hair loss can occur. 

Significance 
During sleep, body tissues and muscles are repaired and restored. Growth hormone are secreted during sleep. Sleep is a growing, building and restorative process. 
Considerations 
Sleep apnea can obstruct breathing passages. It can also cause damage to blood capillaries that carry nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles. This can lead to unhealthy hair and hair loss. 
Stress 
Lack of sleep can be caused by stress; in reverse, lack of sleep can cause stress. Stress can cause an imbalance of hormones in the body and result in hair loss, hair damage and stunted hair growth. 
Sleep Patterns 
Erratic sleep patterns, too much or too little sleep, can speed up hair loss and be responsible for dull, brittle and dry hair. Sleep lets the body relax, refuel and re-energize, promoting hair growth and hair health. 
Immune System 
Lack of sleep can weaken the body's immune system. This can cause a host of problems, including hair loss, hair breakage and unhealthy hair. 
Benefits 
Eight hours of sleep are beneficial for most people. Adequate sleep allows the body to perform, function and stay healthy. Before you change your shampoo, consider changing your sleep patterns

Product Review - Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue

Miss Jessie's sent me this sample to do a review
What it's supposed to do:Medium Hold, Define Curls, Control Frizz, Add Shine, No more curl shrinkage, No more dull curls

Ingredients: Purified Water, Carbomer, PVP, VP/VA Copolymer, Vegetable Glycerin, Triethanolamine, Wheat Germ Oil, Lemongrass Extract, Sodium Hydroxymethylglyclycinate, Tetrasodium, EDTA, FD&C Yellow 5, Fragrance.

What did it do for my hair: I must say the price is pretty high for an 8oz jar, its 
$22. I applied it using the L.O.C (Liquid,Oil,Cream) method, which I use to moisturize my hair. I styled it in flat twist, and I loved it.The hold was good. Next, I tried it on damp hair for a curly fro, Loved it! My hair was defined and shiny. Using the very last bit of the packet i decided to use the product w/o oil or anything else, because I really wanted to see what it actually does. It holds, my hair felt kinda dry but it did have a little shine.
So far so good! Oh, how could I forget! The smell is AMAZING, people could smell my hair as i walked past them and they would tell me how the smell was LOVELY!










<----- This is what the actual product looks like

Ways To Thicken Your Hair and Edges



  • Castor oil is great for thickening hair. Jamaican Black Castor oil works well also and some swear that it thickens better than regular castor oil.
  • Keep your ends in check. Split, broken ends can eventually thin your hair out if they're not trimmed when they need to be.
  • Limit heat usage. Excessive heat can also cause split ends, breakage, and ultimately thin hair.
  • Look for products that contain "panthenol" (typically found in moisturizing deep conditioners) as an ingredient. Panthenol consists of vitamin B which allows for great moisture, thickness, and growth.
  • Products such as MTG, Nu-Gro, and biotin are also said to promote thickness.

My New Shower Cap and Bonnet (Product Review)

I was given the amazing opportunity to review some of the AMAZING shower caps and bonnets from MY CELESTIAL SOULS. 

 Now, I'm one of those people that usually wore a grocery bag  on my head when deep conditioning my hair or giving myself hot oil treatments etc.  The regular shower caps (the thin plastic ones) would always tear easily, wear out, get a stinky smell, etc. So, when I got this shower caps, I was amazed at a point. Check Out My YouTube Video To See All That I Had To Say
The shower cap is a very THICK  plastic that is VERY heavy duty and can hold lots of hair/product inside. It's tight enough around head to keep whatever products you have on our heads inside, but not too tight where it cuts off circulation.


They are REUSABLE as well! 
I HIGHLY recommend these shower caps and bonnets!! You will NOT be disappointed. They are not uncomfortable either. 
Please check out their WEBSITE and go on over to their FACEBOOK, "like' them" and let them know I sent you!
