What is pre-pooing
Applying a conditioning treatment or oil treatment before shampooing to add moisture to relaxed or natural hair. The conditioning treatment will be rinsed out, but it provides some protection to strands prior to the manipulation of cleansing.
Let’s talk about the Tarte Shape Tape Full Coverage Concealer. In particular how I discovered it, why I decided to use it, and how I use it in my makeup routine.
I admit I don't always work out multiple days every week. When I do I like to work out outside by either walking or jogging a few miles and in the Florida heat I can work up a good sweat. To top it off my scalp sweats a lot which if not taken care of causes my scalp to itch like crazy for days afterward. It also makes my hair look flat and greasy.
To keep my relaxed hair and scalp healthy, smelling good, and not itchy I started to employ a few techniques.
I feel like when it comes to oily skin I say this often, you can’t use just anything on oily skin. I guess I say often because it took me years to figure that out and I want to help others with oily skin by sharing what I’ve learned.
For my oily skin, it’s been beneficial for me to use cleansers that are specifically designed and formulated for oily skin. Cleaners for oily skin have ingredients to help control oil production and unclog pores.
Looking at oily skin facial cleaners you can break them out into five categories
I don’t know why but finding a good hairstylist, especially for relaxed hair, is hard. It seems fewer hairstylists work with relaxers. The ones that do many of them have antiquated ideas of how to care for relaxed hair and I use care loosely.
We can find ourselves needing to find a new hairstylist to go to because our current stylist moved away or stopped doing hair, they may have messed up our hair, we determined we deserve better, or we’ve moved to a new location.
Both times I moved states I had to look for a new hairstylist and it wasn’t easy. It was helpful though for me to determine what I wanted and needed in a hairstylist. These experiences helped me to define the following process for finding a hairstylist that met most if not all of my qualifications.
I have oily skin and for years I thought that oily skin didn't need moisture. That the products used on it should dry it out to get rid of the oil and no hydrating products should be used on my skin.
It took me years to learn the opposite is true. Oily skin needs moisture, and by starving my skin of moisture, I was making it more oily.
Until I dove into the world of makeup I didn’t realize how many different tools makeup artists and even everyday women were using to create their makeup looks.
For years I thought you applied foundation with your fingers. I couldn’t have been more wrong. And as time has gone on, there have been more and more and more makeup tools coming onto the scene. This can create a temptation to spend a lot of money on these tools, some of which you only use once or never use at all.
How about we spend less money but get some quality makeup tools? Sound like a good plan? Well, keep reading because I’ve compiled a list of 10 makeup tools I think are must-haves for any makeup lover and they all have options that cost $10 or less!
