There are many products out there that claim to restore scalp and they turn out to be a colossal

waste of money.  The dropper makes it really easy to use, 2 - 3 drops on your scalp before bed every night and your scalp will thank you for it.  It has a strong scent but over time you'll get use to it. It does not work instantly (no product does) but with time your scalp will never itch you again.

Tell you what why not try it for yourself, go to the Ettenio FB page and check it out: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ettenio/230895530373387

Update on my Hair Journey with Ettenio

FIRST BLOG POST FOR THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Happy New Year Natural Beauties,
I finally found some time to update you guys on my hair journey with Ettenio.  Trust me readers, it's awesome, this is definitely the product that you should use, it was in the Gleaner's Best of 2012 ( http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20121231/flair/flair6.html).  I mean no sulfates or preservatives, only natural products.  Not all the products have a pleasant smell but obviously it wouldn't cause of the herbs and stuff but after awhile you get use to the smell.  Let me stop talking now and show you the pics.  

Week One - 'Chiney Bumps'
Used the Twenty Four Leave In,
Creme de la Creme and Seal Shine to do this

Week Two
Used Cocolicious and Twenty for Leave In, Blow Dried it and
applied Creme de la Creme, Seal and Shine and Scalp Restore

Week Three
Used the entire line excluding the Mango Shea Moisturizer

Week Four - Straightened
Used the entire line, excluding the Mango Shea

Yesterday, after washing, used Cocolicious
Twenty Four Leave In

NB. They are not consecutive weeks cause some weeks my hair was done in a hairstyle that wouldn't allow for washing eg. rope twists.

NB. Yes, I wash my hair in sections and plait them up, makes it alot easier for detangling and makes your product last longer.

NB. And yes, I wash my hair outside so it won't clog up the bathroom sink.

Post any questions in the comments below.

Positive SHEroes: Strong women working towards an AIDS-free generation

Women have surpassed men in gaining degrees, voicing their opinions and making a difference in their countries. And yet, while women have entered the workforce in record numbers over the last half-century, gaps remain in certain countries, and women are still degraded, subserviated, abused and killed.  The rampant starvation, disease and impoverished conditions of women in many parts of world is a real travesty. When that is compounded by the rape and genocide that are occurring it is difficult to imagine sustaining life much less progressing. In terms of third world women, the crisis of HIV/Aids has had a terrible impact on women. They invariably catch this terrible disease from their men folk. So their lives of grinding poverty have been worsened by the Aids epidemic.

From Sex Symbol to Safe-sex Speaker

Rebekka Armstrong grew up in a desert town, three hours north of Los Angeles in the USA. At 18, she moved to LA and got a job modeling swimwear and lingerie. In 1986 she was Playboy’s Miss September. At 22, after suffering from extreme tiredness, Rebekka had a routine health check, within which she had an HIV test. Much to her surprise, it came back positive. Rebekka is still not 100 percent certain how she became infected, but suspects that it was a result of unprotected sex aged 16 or a blood transfusion. She managed to keep her HIV status a secret for five years. After a suicide attempt, Rebekka went to a seminar for HIV positive women, which changed her life. In 1994, she announced in an American lesbian and gay magazine that she was living with HIV. Since then, Rebekka has dedicated herself to increasing AIDS awareness. She has toured throughout America, educating about HIV prevention and safer sex, and the reality of living with HIV and AIDS.

She could have given up the fight with this disease but instead she took her medication and maintained a healthy lifestyle. She now speaks openly about her status and now lectures to schoolchildren all over the United States. She has recently lectured in Britain, “putting a face to the virus”, as she describes it.  Rebekka had it all and lost it all due to HIV/AIDS.  She’s taken a long road of recovery and discovery to use her life as an example to others.  It’s people like her that hopefully open eyes of some to educate them into safe sex and avoiding a life of medications. She has demonstrated strength and resilience in the face of this epidemic and is a prime example of a ‘SHEro’ working towards an AIDS-free generation.

The AIDS epidemic has affected women in a very devastating way. It has clearly revealed the imbalance of power between men and women. We can say that women have fared well in their efforts; however the epidemic continues to rage on. We need to utilize the knowledge, diversity of experiences and expertise to support women take up their responsibilities and acquire the power to protect themselves from HIV infection. 

Apologies

Natural Beauties, 
This will my last post for a while because my end of module exams are coming up and I really need to pass them (last year of high school and all). I also won't be able to start my hair diary/hair journey with the Ettenio products, my deepest apologies for that. However, I will try to update the blog when I can (no promises) but until then remember our motto on Naturally Beautiful:

The hair is the richest ornament of women.

1. Strong Foundations 

Ingredients: Hydrolyzed Silk Protein, 

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Keratin Protein, Green Tea Extract, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Coconut Oil and Jamaican Black Castor Oil

NB. In another post I will list the uses of the ingredients used in Ettenio.

Review: Normally when I use conditioner, I don't even attempt to detangle it cause it always hurts (i'm real scared of my hair). Anyways when I applied this conditioner it made detangling so easy, my hair has never felt so soft during conditioning.

2. Moisture Infusion

Review: When detangling, I normally lose a lot of hair but with this product, combing through my hair was real easy.

3. Twenty Four 7 Leave In Conditioner

Ingredients: N/A

Review: My hair was soft and I straw curled my hair without straws and it looked great (i'll do video of that).

4. MangoShea Moisturizer 

Ingredients: N/A

Review: I absolutely loved this product, it was a bit wet so it's obvious it should be used at nights. I put it in my hair, styled it and tied it down, it was really neat the next morning. I never had to use gel.












As you can see, i'm not really good at doing product reviews so tell you what go to the Ettenio Facebook page (the link is in the last post) and try and get samples of the various products and experience the greatness of these natural products. Next time i'll introduce you to African threading - Straightening you hair without heat.
