My Hair Type/Texture

Hello there :)

Everyone has a hair type/texture (Dah!). And with theses information we can know what care you have to provide to your hair. I really recommend you to find your hair type, write down everything you know about your locks and the next time you go shopping for those cares I guarantee you that it will be so much more successful. Let’s start!

Beginning with the scalp. My scalp has always be very normal, I can go three to four days without washing my hair and I have a little or not of oil on my scalp (lucky me!). But this past month, as you had maybe see with my last posts, my sensitive skin has resurface. It cause me bad itch on my scalp but no dandruff and dry scalp. So yeah…

To continue I have my length. My hair type is wavy as you can see. (I have no products in it.) I also have thick hair and since I take care of them, they are shiny and strong, ladies, don’t give up ;)! Plus, my locks tangle sooo easy mainly on the back of my hair.

Finally, the ends. I have very bad ends (hehe).  They are split and dry and I do not have much to say then that. If you are like me I have a post on how to prevent split ends just here;http://thebeautyofhair.blogspot.ca/2014/03/tips-to-prevent-split-ends.html

These tips really help so check it out!  

I hope it was interesting, if you have any questions, leave it in the comments and I will be happy to answer you. Have a great day :)

DIY clarifying shampoo

Hello there :)

We all experience build up on our scalp. It could be cause by our shampoo, dirt or polution. But is there a cheap and easy way to stop all this bad thing you would ask? Yes there's one! And it is so easy. Let's start!

Once a month (it is sooo important to not do that everytime you shower, it could do the reverse effect) I take my ordinary shampoo and:

1-tps of baking soda or "de p'tite vache" as we call it in Quebec.

This will help to better clean your scalp from all this build up from the month!

It was a fast tip but I hope you will try it. Thank you for your time and if you have any questions leave it in the comments! Bye bye :)

Review of Phyto Paris hydratation shampoo and conditioner.

Hello there :)

Last week my mom and I went on a little trip to the drugstore to find some feminin products.. And like every time I go to the store I look in the haircare section. To our surprise there was an event this afternoon, it was a "girls night" where professional was doing makeup, nails and hair stuff... One of the professional begin to talk to us and look at our hair. And guess what she wanted to do. Sell us expensive shampoo and conditioner, yay! Unfortunately, this women was kind of scary and we exit the drugstore with tampons and new hair products. So why not do a review? Lets start! :)



The package: the first thing we did was opening the shampoo box. I love the shampoo bottle, I think that the color and the drawing is very neat yet, simple, but then we opened the conditioner box...It was not as good than the shampoo bottle. I think that if you do a beautiful shampoo bottle, than you have to do the same for the conditioner.

The scent: I don't personaly like the smell of these products. The smell remind me of vanilla cupcakes and I'm more a fruit girl. Normaly, the smell of products don't bother me but this one was a little to strong for my taste. But if you like vanilla and cupcake smells that can be for you! :)

Ingredients: once again, they say that it is a natural products and it has some natural ingredients like: jojoba oil, castor oil, angelica archangelica seed extract (the star ingredient) and plus, it is silicone and paraben free. But it have: alcohol, aluminium chloride, parfum and sodium laureth sulfate. So it is for you... I would like a more natural product next time.

Shampoo: I do like the shampoo! It is really runy but when you rub your hands together it create the perfect mousse. It is very hydrating and do clean very well your scalp. Plus, when I do masks and wash my hair two time my hair feel soft and it don't strip of all of my natural oils.

Conditioner: I do not like the conditioner. One of my main concern is that in the instructions, it say to rince immediatly after putting the conditioner... Why? What happends is I let it sit? Break all of my hair off? Plus, when I apply it in my hair I feel that all the moisture of my hair is gone and I don't like this feeling at all.

$$: the price for these products was 20$ each and I don't think it's worth the price because I could take a herbal essence shampoo and conditioner for the same results but less pricy.

So overall I will not repurchase these products or recommend it to a friend. The shampoo Is great but the conditioner is really bad. The price is not right and I don't enjoy the smell. Next time I will try a natural shampoo and conditioner, near to my place we have a natural supermarket so I will go check it out. If you have any questions or suggestions, leave it in the comments and I will respond you with joy.Byebye  :)
