ALOPECIA AREATA

Good evening house, am sure your day has been amazing! well this post is mainly about those suffering different hair loss situations or scalp issues like psoriasis, alopecia areata, totalis, keratosis, etc. Chei this post might seem quite long. (Already scared for my hands , lolz). Ok, back to our gist before I drift off. Today its a little bit about alopecia areata.
what is ALOPECIA AREATA?
Its a particular type of auto-immune disease which involves hair loss that typically causes small patches or spots of baldness, in some cases total baldness. For a lot of affected, the hair tends to grow back after several months. For some others, it leads to permanent hair loss. However, treatments for it to promote the regrowth of the hair works for some and also doesn't work for others.
  It can occur at any age but in most cases. It reveals its 1st case in children and teens also. you need to understand that it isn't subject to that.
Symptoms
It shows forth with one or more bald or semi bald spots on the scalp. Also they tend to be round in shape. Well we could say the size of a cap cover at the early stage. Funny enough it develops so quickly most patients don't even know when it occurs. In most cases, a secondary party may be the 1st to notice it even before the affected does. Asides the bald spots, the hair would have a healthy and lively look and wont have any form of scarring. Tough there might be a little redness, burning, scaling and might just feel itchy in some spots. Its also good to know its not subject to the scalp only.
 LET ME FAST FOWARD SMALL AND GIVE YOU ANOTHER HINT
Causes
As I earlier said, its an autoimmune disease. Normally the immune system makes lymphocytes also known as white blood cells and antibodies to protect against foreign impurities such as viruses , bacteria, etc. Whereas in autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakes part or parts of the body as foreigners. For people with ALOPECIA AREATA, many white blood cells gather around the affected follicles which they mistake as the foreigner instead of the germs.
 One of the remedies asides the medical treatments; that's very  effective as a  topical anti- inflammatory natural remedy.
I call it alopecia paste.
you need - a bulb of onions, neem oil, fenugreek seed. grind the onions and fenugreek seed together, sift and add the neem oil. it should  be a slightly thick paste but not too thick. rub on affected areas. leave for 10 minutes, rinse and wash your hair.

100% NATURAL MOISTURSING AND STRENGHTENING CURL POPPER.

A lot of people would ask me what is a curl popper? lolz, that's my own form of popping hair gel. not only is this extra easy to make, but for those who decide to go on a budget; this is amazing for controlling frizz, conditioning and moisturising your tresses.


Things needed for the hair popper
-2 tablespoons of gelatine
-2 teaspoons of coconut oil
-1 teaspoon of olive oil
-2 teaspoons of glycerine
-1/2 cup of water
-1 teaspoon of lemon or lime juice
-4 tablespoons of aloe gel or 1 freshly cut aloe plant
-1/2 teaspoon shea butter
-3 drops JBCO
-few drops of tea tree oil
-rosemary herb/lemongrass herb

DIRECTIONS
*In a deep bowl, add water, lemongrass and rosemary herbs together. Allow to sit over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, then drain the liquid after removing the herbs.
*over medium heat, add gelatine to the premixed infusion in a saucepan. Let it sit till the gelatine is completely dissolved.
*In another small container, mix your oils and shea butter together. You can either whip till its extra fluffy and creamy or u allow it sit over low heat so it doesn't loose its healing properties.
*After allowing to  cool, remove the gelatine mixture which, if observed would have a gel-like consistency. Add your aloe gel, and the oil mix.
*place in a blender, blend until it has a creamy silky consistency.
*Add your jbco and essential oils.
voila your homemade popper/gel is ready for use. I call this my own eco styler gel lolz. This works well for all hair types ranging from the type 1-4 hair types, as it has extra hold to it. You can store this in your refrigerator for a week and use, else u add your preservatives in case you have to travel.
