I had my phone consultation with Komaza Care and this was the final report sent to me.
Hair Porosity: High
Hair Texture: .042mm-0.108mm Majority of the hair is Med/Thick with some fine strands
Hair Length: 8-9 inches
Observation:
Viewed collected hair shed under microscope using 60x to 1000x magnifications. Cuticle damage, signs of thinning and some breakage. Focus on strengthening the hair and preventing thinning.
Recommendations: Trim ¼ inch every 8-10weeks or every relaxer.
Protein Hair Strengthener: weekly or biweekly. If you use our protein you can do this treatment every week.
Wash Hair with shampoo once a week. (Use a sulfate shampoo that has gentle proteins). You can pre poo with Coconut Oil. Massage scalp thoroughly with the coconut oil and let it set for about 10-20 min.
Apply leave in conditioner: leave in Conditioner with proteins, ceramides/ bamboo, then follow with a little of your sealant (Serum). If using gel to slick back into a bun use your hands and not a boars brush.
No Boars brush or thin combs at all.
Do not use products that have mineral oil and petroleum.
Do not pull the hair back to tight.
Bountiful Mane Serum: apply to the scalp daily. You can apply at night. This is everything you need to keep a very healthy scalp and will keep inflammation down and minimize the itching while promoting hair growth.
Vitamins: Maxi Hair by Country Life and L- Cysteine 2000mg a day 1000mg twice a day
Drink Protein shakes about 2 times a day to incorporate more protein into your diet. You can mix with Almond/Rice Milk/water.
Super greens powder from Traders Joes/vitamin shoppe is a great way to get all your vitamins and minerals.
Black Strap Molasses: 2 Tablespoons a day
Stay Hydrated. Drink at least 8 classes of water day, this helps to keep your hair hydrated as well of your body. This is very important. Try lemon water and coconut water to help hydrate you.
Exercise: This will help stimulate circulation to your scalp, not to mention all the health benefits it provides in balancing hormones.
Start from the inside out:
Eat whole unprocessed foods such as: Whole grains, colorful fruits and vegetable(Cruciferous: cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale and Cauliflower) ,Fish (wild caught), legumes, beans, nuts and seeds. Dairy products and eggs that are hormone free. Limit intake of alcohol, sugar and caffeine. Here is a list of some wonderful foods to nourish you natural beauty: Wild Salmon, Yogurt, Oysters, Blueberries, Kiwifruit, Sweet Potatoes, Spinach, Tomatoes, Walnuts, Dark Chocolate.
While on the phone with Jenn, she said that I needed to focus on getting more protein in my hair to strengthen it because of the cuticle damage. She recommended that I use products with some form of protein in all steps of the wash day process. She that I can choose the gentle proteins such as wheat, soy, silk, collagen, and jojoba in leave in products, shampoos, and moisturizer.
She told me not to use sulfate free shampoos and not to use co washing as my main washing method. I asked about pre pooing, and she said that it wasn't necessary unless I'm having scalp issues. If that's the case, use coconut oil to pre poo. She also said that I can blow dry my hair after washing, as long as I use a good heat protectant. She doesn't recommend me air drying my hair because the cuticles are not laying flat when I do.
The only products she mentioned from Komaza Care was the protein treatment and the scalp serum. I mentioned other products that they sell, and she said that I didn't need those. She said that she would send me a sample of the protein treatment to see if I like before buying it. I had told her that I used this treatment before, and it made my hair brittle and hard to detangle even after deep conditioning. She said the formula has changed since then, and that it has less protein. She stated that their protein treatment could be used every week, and a regular conditioner after is sufficient.
I'll try her recommendations and see what happenes.
