Hey Girl! I love you videos keep posting and informing us. I appreciate this kind of information!

[GhanaGoddess05]

@JuicyPop24 thanks hun, no problem, I sure will

[SoSassyChick]

i notice that alot of hair oils and grease have mineral oil and petrolatum, and african american hair must have oil on it to maintain healthy or it will turn dry and brittle, but its so hard trying to find a good hair oil without making the hair greasy and wet looking

[GhanaGoddess05]

@SoSassyChick Your right, it is really hard to.. but there are some good products out there you can try.

[itpaystobeme]

and your hair is so pretty, the color compliments your beautiful brown skin

[GhanaGoddess05]

That isn't your real hair is it? Have you checked out the toxins in makeup also?

[Skye271]

Sodium....sulfate is in everything even in toothpaste

@Skye271

Try jasons or uncle harrys toothpaste they dont have any sodium laureth sulfate.Also for a shampoo most certified organic shampoos dont have any sulfates also please keep an eye out for cocamide betaine another toxic chemical.Hope this helps.

@GhanaGoddess05 do u eat for beauty and health also, it is also important to not eat the typical god awful crap most Americans eat today, I know so many girls who struggle with their weight or acne etc and don't realize how eating right helps you look better, green leafy vegetables, foods that don't have perservatives and toxic ingredients etc, you should look up Dr Afrika on youtube, he is an expert in African Holistic Health is the most amazing herbalist and nutritionalist I've ever heard!

I just wanted to share an development in getting the chlorine out of your hair and skin is to use SwimSpray.

Chlorine and other pool chemicals bond to your body and hair, so you cannot simply wash them away. Using SwimSpray releases those bonds from your hair and skin, so that the chlorine washes away. You will notice a difference because your hair and skin will not smell like the pool.

thanks for promoting the truth about these products that are not only bad for your hair but bad for your health when they get absorbed into the body from the scalp. I have used products without these ingredients for 15 years. I make my own.

[smellsogoody]

Inbox me here on youtube and I can tell you about other products you need to stay away from

[priscillajames]

@SoSassyChick hi i happened to see your comment and had a suggestion for you well firstly it depends on the type of hair you have if your hair is fine you need to use way less product but the hollywood beauty castor oil is a very good product from my experience and i have very fine but curly hair oh and also the hollywood beauty carrot cream it is not perfect ingredients wise as is no product unless u make it yourself but has no mineral oil or petroleum or many harmful ingredients.

in cosmetics it is used in only the smallest amounts to keep products from melting in high heat or freezing when it is cold. It also helps active ingredients penetrate the skin. In the minute amounts used in cosmetics, propylene glycol is not a concern in the least. Women are not suffering from liver problems because of propylene glycol in cosmetics.
