Hair Talk.

A lot of folks believe that our hair can't grow in Nigeria and a lot of people think the weather doesn't favour growth. This is a myth, we know genes play a role in the growth of long beautiful hair. However, the Nigerian hair can grow, you just need to take care of it with the right routine and products.

We eat to grow and feel healthy, if we skip our 3 square meal, we feel hungry. Well, the same applies to your scalp, the scalp needs food in form of oils, water and vitamins and it needs it daily. The typical saloon in Nigeria doesn't have time to pay attention to your hair because they are too busy trying to make more money. So when they apply conditioner to your hair, they rinse it off almost immediately and you don't see the results of that product.

That is why I would advise you do a lot of D.I.Y (Do it yourself) at home. I wash my hair myself or sometimes my husband helps me. That way, no one rushes me. I take my time to part my hair into sections and apply my products to my hair.

Another myth says "If you don't buy expensive hair products, your hair won't grow", that is wrong. Choose products that work well with your hair. As a product junkie, I have tried a lot of hair products and discovered it's not the price of the product that aids in the growth of my hair. Your shelf could be full of expensive hair products and you still won't see any improvement. A routine on how you use your products would help you.

My hair stash 

Here are some products I use for my hair and I have seen amazing results in a short period, I say "amazing" because I cut my hair in August 2016 and I can put my hair in a bun already. The products I use are affordable, effective and produced with natural ingredients such as tea tree oil, carrot oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and shea butter. When it comes to solving scalp condition issues such as dandruff, flaking and itching, the At One with Nature brand has been a key innovator to assist in solving many of these scalp problems associated with dry scalp and dandruff.

My favourite "At one with nature" product would have to be their detangler, which is perfect for both natural and relaxed hair. Helps you comb your hair without stressing your scalp. Trust me, if you are on natural hair, you would fall in love with this detangler. The rules for natural hair is applicable to relaxed hair, since relaxed hair doesn't experience shrinkage, you are bound to see the results of sticking to a good hair routine faster than sisters with natural hair.
