Vegamour // Beauty Picks & Tricks
In the beginning of 2022, I went in to see my hair stylist Sierah because I was in dire need of a trim. As she combed my hair out, she suddenly stopped and asked me what happened. Confused, I asked her what she meant. Turns out, there was actually a chunk of my hair missing from the bottom of my hair. After asking me a few questions, Sierah was able to assess that the damage was caused by:
heat damage
excessively using large claw clips to put up my hair
sleeping with my hair wet
I was shocked, but to be honest, after thinking about if I actually was doing everything I could to take care of my hair, this actually wasn’t too surprising. After a season of devoting myself to so many things around me, my hair was the last thing I really tended to.
I was embarrassed at what happened. I usually get so many compliments on how nice my hair looks, especially for being so long. Yet, there I sat in the chair, with the most damaged hair I’ve ever had.
My planned trim ended up becoming a 6-inch cut so that Sierah could cut off the remaining damaged ends and even out my hair.
I was so used to long locks to the cut was a bit dramatic for me (if you rock the long hair, you know how sensitive it can be to chop off more inches than anticipated!) Although I knew I had to do the best thing for my hair, I felt like I lost a lot of hair, not only in length, but in thickness.
Luckily, this was also the same season I’d been gifted a few products from a hair care brand called Vegamour. I’d seen ads on Instagram for them over the previous months and was curious if their products worked. The brand’s goal is to bring holistic and non-toxic products to the beauty industry. Their products are clinically tested and chock-full of plant-based ingredients. Combined, Vegamour’s line helps promote healthy hair from the inside out with quality and effective beauty goods.
My box of Vegamour goodies included:
From the time I received my hair cut, I started using the products and washed my hair every couple days. The shampoo had a thick gel look to it while the conditioner was more of a creamier consistency. I loved the way the products smelled, as they weren’t too fragrant and had a natural scent to them.
The scalp massager was the best! I had always heard about how using a scalp massager when washing your hair supports hair growth and is great for scalp health. Plus, it brings a relaxing spa-experience to hair wash days!
The hair serum was very watery, which surprised me. When I see the word serum, I usually associated it with an oily consistency. This product was lighter, and easy to put on. The top part of the bottle has a dropper applicator for easy use. I would usually put the product in the roots of my hair close to my forehead, then in the roots of the crown of my hair and the roots at the nape of my neck.
Lastly, the lash serum was a good product. It didn’t hurt my eyes, and I loved that you could apply it twice a day if you wanted. Some days, I would apply it after showering and before I put my make-up on (Tip: Make sure the product has soaked in without leaving any residue before applying your eye make-up.) Other days, I would only put it on before I feel asleep. What I noticed was, if there were some days I didn’t get a chance to put it on, the loss of consistency would affect my lash growth results. Also, the results took a bit longer to notice. Compared to other lash products, the GRO Lash Serum has natural ingredients, so the results develop a bit slower than what I’m used to.
The pictures above were taken every 3 weeks creating a total of 9 weeks with consistently using the products.
Before Vegamour, I used products like Tresemme and Organix shampoos and conditioners, so I saw a huge different of how my hair was responding to Vegamour’s cleaner products. I could tell me scalp felt a lot better even with washing my hair every couple days. Sometimes, when I don’t wash my hair, my scalp gets really dry. This did not happen when using Vegamour products.
My hair felt softer and got a lot of its shine and luster back. Also, I noticed my hair density was coming back to its normal state, thank God! I felt like the chop had brought down my hair volume, which I missed!
I think overall, these products work well and if you’re willing to spend the money, they are worth it!
