Gisell's deep conditioning hair treatment products favorites


I can not stress the importance of hair and scalp care. Call me obssesed if you must. I am in love with a good hair wash, applying a deep conditioner (with a scalp massage), putting a plastic cap and going under the hot heat dryer for 15 to 20 minutes. Not only it's relaxing but it is so good for your scalp and hair. Even if it is once a month to have a scalp massage, for me it is worth it. Try it and let me know how it feels.

Here I wrote some benefits that you will get from a scalp massage:

A deep relaxation to the head and scalp which allows blood circulation to flow more easily to the hair roots.
Improved circulation, which results from scalp massage, provides hair roots with nourishment to help trigger hair growth.

When a good conditioner it is used, it can help add moisture and conditioning to the scalp and the hair enhancing natural textures and making it move vibrant.

Scalp massage adds natural luster and shine to the hair.

 Scalp massage can relieve itchy scalps, prevent flaking and help with chronic dandruff. Always check with your dermatologist first.
Regular scalp massage can help protect hair from environmental toxins and other weather conditions by helping to strengthen the follicles.


It can help with stressful or negative emotions.

The benefits of scalp massage also help provide a glow to the complexion of the face.


It can help your eyes to relax, help to minimize chronic eye strain, and can be a general tonic for hypersensitivity or excessive nervousness.

Regular scalp massage has proven to help in some cases of chronic headaches or migraines.


Here are my top 4 favorite deep conditioners that I have used. Mind you that I have used millions of them since beauty school more than 10 years ago. These are my favorite ones below and my TOP 1 it's my bonus*



I leave this on my hair for hours than I rinse.

Ofcourse, the bonus is my top number 1 product. It is on the pricey side but every penny worth it. I love it and I love the whole line of It's a 10...


What are your favorites? Drop me a comment and I will try them out.

Love, care and feed your hair!

Gisell's Tips for good hair care...


  1. Before applying conditioner make sure you towel dry your hair after you rinse out the shampoo. Putting conditioner on soaked hair will not do what the conditioner was ment to do. After you are ready to rinse out the conditioner, rinse with cool water so it can lock conditioner. (smae rule goes for deep conditioning treatments)
  2. Use hair products for your hair type. If your hair is dry, use products that are for dry hair. I as a professional advice you to go to the nearest salon and invest in good products.
  3. When hair is wet do not brush, it pulls and will break. Instead use a large comb with wide teeth to comb through.
  4. Trim your hair every 2-3 months. Take those dead, split ends out.
  5. Do not dye your hair on top of dye. That is the biggest mistake people do especially with home dyes.
  6. Blow outs with flat irons without heat protective products is bad for the hair. Hair needs to be protected from heat, flat irons can go  up to 475 degrees. HOT!
  7. Protein and Moisture hair must have. Ask a professional if you can not determine what's missing in your hair.
     Hair is the ultimate accessory. Love it, take care of it and feed it.

The Importance of SCALP CARE

 
 
I decided to write about the importance of scalp care. You always hear about hair care, hair conditioners, trims, and ect. We hardly ever here of the care of the scalp. This is why I cannot stress enough the importance of scalp care & massage. It stimulates the blood flow to your scalp and boosts the oxygen intake of your hair's follicles, resulting in faster-growing hair. Plus, it's so relaxing!



Also I love vitamins. It helps your skin, scalp, nails and hair. Try it and you will be happy with the results. You can also opt for vitamin E supplements which are available in the form of tablets or capsules. Vitamin E too is help for hair growth. Vitamin E prevents hair breakage and makes them healthy and shiny. Don't forget we are what we eat, eating good food also benefits hair, skin and nails. The picture below is my personal vitamins I use myself. I take 3 capsules daily. Only $6.99

Hair Extensions. 4 Tips & advice



 Real or fake hair require care. I love to share with you some tips and advice. For those who wear extension please read along the info I am about to write.


4 Tips for Rockin’ Hair Extensions

1.Know your hair type

If your hair is thin, you want to stay away from clip-ins, since they’ll stick out. Stick to the ones that are sewed into your hair or the temporary glue-ins. If you have thick, coarse hair, clip-ins are perfect.

2.Match not only color but cut

Once you’ve picked the perfect color of extension to match your hair, you want to take those guys for a haircut. Take the extensions to your stylist so she/he can cut them in the exact way your hair is already cut.

3.Take proper care

After wearing them, make sure to wash them with baby shampoo. Let them dry naturally and brush them out to the way you want them to fall. Store them flat. If you bundle them up, they’re sure to stay that way.

4.Style

You want to make sure you purchase hair extensions that can handle heat and styling (usually natural hair or synthetics). Curling the extensions and your hair will make them look more natural and hide any inconsistencies.
