Shedding Halted & Renpure Organics Argan Oil Line Update

I'm not sure if it's too early for such an update being that I've only  had the product for a week, but since using The Renpure Argan line at least 5 times I must say that the shampoo, conditioner, and deep treatment trio have gotten better and better with each use. 

For one, I have been in shedding season and after using this my shedding stopped almost immediately. I wasn't sure if it was the Brazilian conditioner that could have done this as well, so I waited to re-use this before making a conclusion. It is definitely this ( not to say the Brazilian line could not have done this, but I won't know until I use that regularly which wont happen since I am protein sensitive)! 

Today I did a henna treatment and before application I washed my hair with dessert essence coconut conditioner that I thought was moisturizing, until I followed it up with the Renpure Argan Oil  shampoo... My strands were so Hydrated. I think I may have to make this a staple. We'll see.

I actually can stand the smell of this. After having my second son the smell of argan oil ( since EVERYBODY wants to make argan oil in the similar repulsive  scent) makes me nauseated, especially One n' Only Argan Oil from Sally's. Ironically, I swear I was the first person on the argan oil band wagon and had  shirt pins and all kinds of paraphernalia representing this new found miracle oil. Now, forgetaboutit! FYI. the real, pure, organic argan oil has a wonderful, light nutty scent  which is so opposite of what you smell out on these shelves.

So if you are experiencing shedding like myself and need something to halt it, I would not hesitate to go out to your local Walgreens and make this purchase. Hold on to your receipt so you can return it if you don't like it...See, you have NOTHING  to lose ( but your hair if you don't try it!). Most Importantly it is cheap, color-safe( I henna) , free of harmful chemicals, made in the USA, and not tested on animals. I can't ask for more.

September Shedding..Oh, Let Me Count The Hairs!

In the beginning of my Hair Journey I had a hard time combating breakage and did not know how to decipher between shedding and breakage. After much research I stumbled upon many explanations of the difference and they all summed up to be: breakage = broken hairs shorter than the actual length of your hair and shedding = long hairs from the root with a bulb on the beginning portion of the strand.

In approaching my 4th year on my healthy hair journey ( I know my hair should be waist length by now but my focus was on length and now that it is on health I have cut away the damaged ends, leaving me now at shoulder length!) I have become very familiar with both. As September commences I now understand that this is the month I begin to shed and it does not stop until  the beginning of January. . .Yes, this  is 4  months of shedding, but it does taper.

I  reminded myself just the other day and sure enough last night after my henna treatment is when I realized shedding season has kicked in. Fortunately for me the colder months is when my hair grows the fastest. Being that my hair is quite fine ( not thin) I'd like to hold on to my volume as much as possible. Let's face it- hair is hair and is going to shed as a natural process, but I am ready to combat any unnecessary hairs that might THINK about falling out ;-)

My hair usually does not shed a lot. I do not loose 50-100 hairs  a day that I know of and even when I shed a lot  this amount seems extreme. Do I count them? No, no need. Here is a picture of what my Tangle Tamer ( the Tangle Teezer version with a handle) normally  looks like after a little over a week of not cleaning it.

What will I do to combat the shedding?

* Black tea Rinses
* More protective Styling
* Less manmipulation
*Hair Vitamins
* Bamboo Tea
*Prepooing
*baggying
* Deep Conditioning 2x or more /wk
* Moisture/ Protein Balance assessments fequently
* Ayurvedic Treatments, i.e. Henna, Herbally Divine! Hair Pack

For me, what combats shedding will also combat breakage.. I can't complain :-)
