This month on the blog, I’ve hosted a 12 days of Christmas giveaway featuring some amazing products. However let’s not forget that Care for Your Hair is also 3 this month (yay!)

I started the facebook page back when there was little information in the UK about natural hair, hardly any inspiration or information about the products available. It’s been great to watch this group grow over the years, most importantly the fact that it’s been of help to you inspires me to do more. Reading some of the comments & emails about just how much Care for Your Hair has helped you means so much to me.

I’d love to be able to bless each and every one of you with something but I’m not on that Oprah flex…yet lol. So I thought it would be amazing to give away this hamper of products to one of you, just as a way of appreciating you for being a part of this page.

One thing I can give all of you though is my prayer of joy and blessings upon you and your families!

…So onto the giveaway! One person has the chance of winning:

*ROOT2Tip’s: Root Energizer , Honey Rain Juice (this stuff is amazing!) & Natural Hair Butter

*Sisay’s Okra Moisturiser

Day 11 Sponsored by Almocado

Almocado – Holistic Hair, Skincare and Wellbeing products, handmade in London by a qualified aromatherapist as an extension of her complimentary therapy service.

Why I started my brand?

I graduated from Cambridge University and spent almost 12 years pursuing a fast paced, high pressure career in investment banking. Complimentary therapies and wellbeing services were always a core part of my lifestyle, and I eventually trained as a holistic therapist and sisterlocks consultant, and found that caring for others in my spare time was a self-healing outlet for my creativity.

However, after having my 2nd child I found it increasingly difficult to achieve a suitable work life balance for that kept both my bosses and my family happy. I became quite ill after my 3rd child and lost all of my hair (head and body) and realised that I needed to find a healthy sustainable way to make a living and one of my clients suggested I make what was then my hobby into a full time career.

The Almocado product range was a natural progression from my natural hair, locs and holistic therapy services. My therapy clients would constantly ask whether they could take their body oils home with them; and I realised that I needed affordable reliable products devoid of the ‘purported nasties’ to help cleanse, refresh, soften, moisturise and condition my clients’ hair; products I believed in. So I did my research and assessments and launched my own ranges in 2010.

What products are involved?

Aromatherapy Shampoos & Conditioners, Body Oil Blends, Aromatherapy Oil blends, scrubs and body buttercreams.

Specifically for hair, our best sellers are: 

• The Coconut Water Moisture Mist (oil free protein infused spritz)
• Curl Cocktail detangling and conditioning Spritz

• Triple L Hair Treat (Luscious Lecithin Leave in conditioner)
• Twist & Twirl Smooth Hair Cream (for twists, twist outs, shingling and deep conditioning!)
• Brown Sugar Shea Solace Intense Conditioner

For today’s giveaway, One winner will recieve the Triple L Hair Treat

Our ‘Triple L’ (Luscious Lecithin Leave-in)

Rich in moisturising soy lecithin and packed with Pro-vitamin B and protein, to help strengthen, moisturise, soften and support growth. Applying an oil, oil based serum or a leave-in conditioner to the hair after moisturising helps seal the water into your strands and deposit botanical extracts and nutrients to the hair shaft.

Our Triple L Treat combines premium ingredients to aid detangling, reduce friction when combing/brushing and to help keep hair soft and supple. Helps moisturise flat twists, cornrows, single/double twists, Sisterlocks, traditional locs, braids and afros. Not recommended for direct application to the scalp. Silicone free and ideal for all hair types. Smells like ‘sweet indulgence’.
