Hair Fall

I had never heard the word hair fall, and as a black woman of colour; I’ve always been considered sensitive about hair care. However, recently my hairstylist gave me a break from this perception. To her credit she understood and encouraged my skin, and took a more holistic approach in her treatment. We discussed how to use natural oils for our hair and what shampoo was suitable for each of us.

I also noticed that after the first appointment she went on to give a sample of Shea butter shampoo to all of our clients. This shampoo is an ingredient used in several different countries, but especially in African countries like Ghana. She explained that these ingredients are not found naturally found in Africa, yet many people have a liking to incorporate it in their daily product. In fact there is some evidence that Shea butter is known to cause growth in hair roots and is associated with negative effects for African women. The shampoo she suggested was made out of 100% pure gold-leaf extract, which she said was found by local herbalists who have claimed it to cure their hair’s root problems. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any positive results from using this shampoo because I don’t have roots, nor do I have much healthy hair.

However, I did find another shampoo and conditioner recommended to help remedy my hair growth problem – ‘Aroma Treatment Shea Butter Shampoo & Conditioner’. I had heard of Aroma previously, however this shampoo and conditioner seemed different. Not only does the product contain organic, plant-based ingredients, but they are also tested and certified clean! So I bought these two products and I have tried them side by side. One application of this shampoo left my hair soft and thick, the next time it dried it appeared smooth and shiny. This shampoo seems to help combat my hair loss problem whilst retaining its natural shine. It also contains vitamin E, and the smell of lavender which I adore. I have tried this shampoo religiously over Christmas holidays, and I am pleased to say that in two weeks a large, full head of hair has returned!

This shampoo/conditioner combination helps to control the production of proteins and keratin inside of your hair, so that they can be bound to the shaft of your hair. They may be combined in the same package or separately if you choose.

I’ve often been told by people that they need more than one shampoo, due to the chemical-based formula they require. But this shampoo has helped remedy my hair loss issue whilst keeping my locks moisturised and fresh. If you enjoy seeing your hair at the salon and prefer a natural hair experience then try this shampoo, and see for yourself. And please let me know where the best shampoo was for you by leaving a tip below, because that product is very popular.

To conclude this article, I hope that by reading it you will realise that having good health and maintaining one’s hair are key priorities in today’s world. As we enter into another year of hair loss, I recommend watching out for chemicals being introduced into the market, and try and avoid foods high in sugar and preservatives. If you have lost your hair or your hair is falling out then it may be advisable to visit your nearest hairdressers and get tips on what you could try.
