Manetabolism and MTG Updates.

So, a little over a month ago, I started taking my Manetabolism tablets and also using MTG topically on my scalp. With the Mane tabs, I started off taking the required dose ( 2 tabs) every night but within a week, I noticed a bump or two on my cheek, it wasn't anything alarming but I didn't want to leave anything to chance. I scoured the comments section of the Instagram page of The Mane Choice and saw someone who said she had the same issue and so split her dosage - one in the morning and one at night; and that worked for her, so I thought - why not?

I waited about 3 days for the bumps to clear up and then I started splitting the dosage - one in the morning with breakfast and one at night after dinner. Also my water intake increased - drinking at least 1.5 - 2 litres every day. Problem solved - no bumps or zits.

Protective Styling Update plus new products I'm excited about.

I almost can't believe I'm in my 6th week with these twists I installed using Marley hair! Not until recently did I start to miss my hair; I guess my mind has been in the right place with regard to retaining as much length as possible using protective styling.

Anyway I still plan to keep them in for another 2 weeks or so before I take them down, care for my hair for about a week and then it's back to another protective style (probably crochet braids)

So, last week I was trawling through the internet (as usual) and came across a post where a lady used 'Manshanu' (cow butter or cow ghee) to deep condition her hair. I was really intrigued and read up some more on it and found out that in some cultures, it has been used for centuries as a hair conditioning and growing agent. In Ethiopia for instance cow ghee is used as a hair strengthening, curling, styling and conditioning treatment and has been so used for centuries!

Essentially fresh cow milk is boiled and then allowed to cool. On cooling, the butter separates from the liquid milk and is gently removed and used for cooking or (in this case) hair treatments!
