right guys I'm getting straight into it number one is a Kik key treatment now I know you guys are like girl huh a who a what yes I do a Kiki treatment now I'm on their website so let me just tell you kind of what it's called It's called The Kiki hair controller and it's a proprietary technology that penetrates softens disulfide bonds and allows long lasting changes in hair texture okay what a Kiki treatment actually is because I do it myself you guys know that I have my cosmetology license but this is a treatment you would have to go to a stylist to get done and the reason I've been gatekeeping it is because you guys can't buy it yourselves that's the only reason it's been gate kept cuz I felt like that wasn't fair but so many of you guys talk about my hair and my hair has been growing growing this is just a blowout and honestly a really bad blowout if for being honest I didn't really try to get my hair the smoothest but this is my hair I am 3 months post Kiki treatment they are supposed to last about 4 months so I need to reup mine and I'm actually going to film you guys tutorial on how I do mine but I wanted to tell you what it is so a key key treatment what it does is work on the disulfide bonds of your hair all right guys editing Jamie popping in because I said this so backwards when I explained the Kiki treatment so pardon how your girl is looking but let me just break this down for you really quick the Kiki treatment works on your disulfide bonds now hair is made up of a bunch of different bonds we've got peptide disulfide ionic AKA salt and then hydrogen but it works on your disulfide bond so disulfide Bond treatments are permanent your disulfide bonds are permanent bonds formed between sulfur and atoms in cine amino acids and they basically give your hair it strength and shape when they are broken and reformed this is during chemical treatments like perms relaxers and uh bleaching all those things you're working on your disulfide bonds then you've got hydrogen bonds now hydrogen bonds are temporary these are the ones that are affected by heat so when you get really bad heat damage that is usually that you've messed up your hydrogen bonds you've really damaged them now Ollies K all those things work on the bonds in your hair um they can work on peptide salt the all of them all right so you guys kind of getar what I'm saying the Kiki treatment is basically a more natural way to smooth out your hair texture now I have done them all I've done Keratin treatments I've done like the Brazilian Blowouts I have done the texture manageability systems all the things the Kiki treatment is the first one that states that it is permanent and I can say it is permanent however I basically have hacked my Kiki treatment and I do Bond repair treatments alongside my Kiki treatment so what is now happening is I am able to bounce between straightened hair and curly hair I'm able to keep my hair straight without reversion when I'm working out 5 days a week doing these heavy sweaty workouts but not have all the heat damage and I know you guys are like girl what yes I've done relaxers I've done it all the Kiki treatment is truly the best treat I've done on my hair I do it every 3 months like clockwork and I don't think I'm ever going back to be honest I don't think I'm ever going back it is such an easy treatment if you were to get this done in Salon I know the range in price is 300 to like 1,000 depending on who you go to because some salons are so expensive but the base price I've seen most people stating is $400 so if you are looking into a Kiki treatment I highly highly recommend you find a stylist that is certified to do them and try it out because I love it it is the best hands down best thing I've done for my hair next to using K18 and Olex which you guys already know that I freaking love so yeah that is my most gate kep hair secret and it has really changed the game all right babes this next one you already know that I'm not gatekeeping my Derm Ray laser you guys know I love this thing okay I this is my baby okay you guys know I used her under my arms and I am happy to report that the underarm that I was actually using on early like when I first did the experiment to compare this underarm is completely hairfree now this one is catching up I'm not going to lie I've missed a couple treatments okay girl and if you don't do it as you're supposed to if you don't follow the treatment recommendations then it's not going to work duh shocker right so I have patches under this arm that are completely hairless it kind of looks like this underarm when I showed you guys the result but I am working on it and I'm getting back on a routine so I will be completely arm hair free okay girl it takes forever for me to grow a couple hairs under this arm since doing this treatment but the way that I have now been using this I have been gatekeeping and there's really no excuse other than I didn't want to recommend it until I had done it multiple times you guys know that I suffer from PCOS if you don't know what PCOS is it's polycystic ovarian syndrome and there are a lot lot of things that come along with it but one thing that I absolutely hate is the facial hair growth and I I just feel so insecure about it I'm going to be so like f real with you guys I feel so insecure about it and um it was something that I like it made me feel ugly like I'm not going to I'm just going to be real it made me feel ugly it made me feel Manish and you know I have an amazing husband that tells me I'm beautiful every single day but it didn't matter because I felt ugly with the facial hair and when I see it starting to grow in I immediately feel ugly I'm upset by it like all of these things so when derray sent me this this laser I did ask if it could be used on the face and they did say yes so I have been using it on my face now this is a whole journey that I'm going to take you guys on separately but I did want to tell you it has been working oh my God it has been working I'm I'm so happy like literally it has given me back so much self-confidence that my facial hair isn't growing in and I'm having to shave every single week feeling like a man and feeling like you can see my beard and mustache stubble like I hate it I literally hate it it's so embarrassing to me but you know what there's nothing to be embarrassed about because everybody grows body hair and there is nothing to be embarrassed about having PCOS you know all my sisters United okay there's nothing wrong with us there's nothing to be embarrassed about it is just our body and how it works but I'm so excited that this is actually working this derray laser has been a life Cher so if you guys haven't picked it

company that takes black women into account especially during Black History Month baby yes we love we love that you work with the melanin in our month honey it's our month okay all right y'all moving right along my next most gate kept treatment is pumpkin seed oil now I have talked about it a wee bit in videos I've said it a couple times girl pumpkin seed oil is where it's at if you need your hair to grow if you have scalp issues if you have excessively dry scalp if you have excessively dry hair and I'm actually going to add avocado oil to that because a pumpkin SE and avocado oil hair treatment will get your hair together forget rosemary oil forget the rice water whoever whatever I do use rosemary oil here and there on my hair but actually the last treatment I did dried out my scalp so I ended up having to wash my hair again pretty quickly after but I've never had that problem with pumpkin seed oil and I feel like it really moisturizes my scalp girl I will link the exact one I get it's got to be organic pumpkin seed oil don't be buying no toast pumpkin pink yellow orange colored one baby mine is like green um so it's like the real raw stuff it's like greeny brownie in color and it works I get it on Amazon I have been using it and I have pictures to show you guys of my hair growth I am retaining an inch every single month you guys can see this picture was taken in December and you can see I'm like holding my uh bra strap just to show you where my bra strap should be and this picture was just taken of my hair yesterday that is a two-month difference the first was taken on December 8th this one was taken on February 7th so two month different in both pictures all I did was blow out my hair and do a rough blowout like you guys see here but it didn't have the curl yet I'm telling y'all pumpkin seed oil is the truth pumpkin seed oil and avocado oil what I do is put pumpkin seed oil on my scalp and avocado oil on my ends I do this treatment twice a month um it's a pre-washed treatment so one week I will do my hot oil treatment the next week I will do my Olex treatment or I will do my K18 treatment regardless I switch it up like that right straight up you guys I have been doing the pumpkin seed oil and avocado oil treatments for about a year this is the best my hair has ever looked all right y'all next up gate kept this isn't really a treatment this is something I've been eating and that is matcha yeah girl I had to give up the coffee now I'm going to keep it real I had to give up the coffee because it was making me so nauseous I have a whole story time coming up on PCOS how I ended up on a semaglutide like all of these things I want to make a whole story time and start tracking my journey of being on a semaglutide and like just do it with you guys and how it works for people with PCOS I want to do that whole journey with you so let me know in the comments down below if you guys want to hear about that or you can give this video a thumbs up to let me know that you want to go on that Journey with me my weight loss Journey like preparing for motherhood Journey all those things let me know but um anyways so basically I had to switch to matcha because coffee was making me unspeakably nauseous with the medications I was on to the point where if my husband was making coffee and an espresso across the room I would get a whiff of it and be ready to throw up and I love coffee it I have been drinking coffee since I was like six to be honest I would steal sips from my mom's coffee at like 6 years old like she would be like oh do you want to help me put the creamer in and I'd be like yeah and I'd like put the creamer in and then like sip her coffee like it's been like that since I was a kid I love coffee could live off coffee girl I was one of them people that you give me a cold a venty cold brew with sugarfree vanilla girl we didn't need no milk or nothing that's how I made it through UC Davis how you think I got these degrees baby yeah okay how you think I got my degrees cold brewing a prayer honey I know know that's right okay so I love coffee but I switched to matcha to get my energy fixed and to you know get myself together in the mornings and I'm going to say it I'm going to say something the girls don't want to hear matcha makes you prettier I said it matcha makes you prettier yes it does yes it does matcha makes you prettier I said what I said I think it's made me prettier I don't know how to describe it to you I feel like my skin doesn't get as dry I'm so sorry my neighbors are making noise so if you can hear it I'm sorry girl I'm buying a new mic soon I might be changing my camera it's a lot it's a lot going on okay anyways matcha makes you prettier I don't care what anyone says I personally think matcha makes you more pretty like it when you drink a lot of coffee it dehydrates you it can make your skin look really dehydrated you guys know I'm a big proponent of collagen as well but I genuinely think ever since I started drinking matcha in the morning instead of coffee I'm prettier I don't know how else to describe to you I feel like my skin has been looking better I don't have as bad of under eye circles and I don't know if that's directly linked to Coffee somebody be a scientist down below and let us know girl somebody somebody be the doctor in the comments below let let the girls know okay um I don't know what that is but I swear dude matcha has made me prettier it's I'm able to sleep because when I was drinking coffee in the mornings I don't know if it was like too much caffeine for me or what I do have anxiety anxiety is a symptom of PC so that could be it even with anxiety meds I still felt like coffee would make me like not be able to sleep in the evenings and stuff even if I had it at like 6:00 a”
