Gelatin- For hair??

Hey All,

             It's me again, our adventurous journey with Healthy hair care products is still on, we're not backing out anytime soon-lol. Now is the unexpected- gelatin, used for hair? i say, absolutely!!
So i read somewhere, that celebs swear by this product, and then i started to dig up facts.

Gelatin is produced from hydrolysis of collagen and contains about 18 amino acids. Some of the amino acid contents of gelatin- lysine, arginine and methionine help promote healthy hair growth.
I wouldn't necessarily advice taking gelatin orally because it is not a very good source of nutrition despite its protein content. So our focus here is basically applying gelatin products or gelatin containing products directly to hair.

Its easy to get hair care products with the boldly written "Contains gelatin" on the bottle. However, the therapeutic effects on hair are more evidently seen with the use of gelatin hair masks.

This is a home made remedy, all you need is some unflavored gelatin and water to make a thick solution, wear it on your hair for about 15 minutes then rinse out and shampoo as usual. I've been adviced that this is more beneficial if its done every month.
Guyss ( or girls in this case), what are we waiting for? Our hair needs some jell-o, chop chop.
See you after the j-masking. Pls don't forget to comment or contribute.

One Love

Biotin- The hair Wonder worker!!

Hey Readers,
                     Hope y'all are having a splendid weekend. I went off for a few weeks so i could try out new stuff and come back with the "ish" of healthy hair. I've been sampling various products, one of which happens to be the much talked about biotin
I must emphatically say that i have olnly tried the topical products ( creams, moisturizers and conditioners) containing biotin. I'm yet to try out OTC Biotin tabs, and trust me, i'll be back with updates.

 Biotin, also known as Vitamin H or Coenzyme R is a member of the B complex family. My friend told me about it, she's originally Indian and has real great long hair, so when she talked about hair growth vitamin i kept wondering what the heck she needed that for. But she told me she suffered a lot of hair loss right in her mid scalp region and she'd been covering it up with a pony tail. I got really interested and decided to watch her progress. The results were amazing!!! the whole patch closed up!!!

As always, i went on my biotin hunt and picked out products with biotin as one of the main ingredients. It wasnt too hard to find though, most hair growth product boast of this ingerdient as the magic wand. I've been using biotin for about a month now, specifically the Profective lenght Recovery Hair lotion. Can't say of the lenght for sure now, as i'm yet to measure my recent growth but the product sure makes my hair feel good.

What's the deal with Biotin?
Like I earlier mentioned, its a water soluble B- complex,that is required by the body generally for cell growth. A lot of people have testified to the beneficial effects of Biotin in hair and nail growth. I must state clearly that the rate of hair growth and the amount of growth varies from person to person, but the concensus is that there is noticeable improvement after 6 weeks of continued application.
I'm yet to determine the level of growth since i havent used it that long. I'm also going to pause after some weeks and try on the Biotin tablets to compare the efficacy of both modes of administration.

What does it do exactly?
Prevents hair loss
Prevents graying
Improved overall hair appearance ( i can swear on that)
Improves hair manageability


I'm in a long term battle of breakage, so i'm gonna be troubleshooting products every 3-4 months to know what's most effective for me. I have noticed a considerable decrease in my hair breakage, gladly, but i'm bent on putting a stop to unnecessary breakage. (N/B-this is not about shedding of dead hairs ok?)
Let's see what Biotin is gonna do for me in the long run.

got any testimonials related to this?PLs be sure to let me know
As always
One love
