[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

Now that I’m on a new hair journey (I do plan on getting a small trim in about a month to keep it short through the spring). I wanted to approach my hair the way I wish I did in the first year of my first big chop. This time around I plan on doing a version of the curly girl method right from the beginning (no combs etc.), and I also plan on doing a quarterly detox to refresh my hair.

Products:
Soultanicals Pumpkin-Kaolin Healing Locks Deep Clean Curl Detox
Rahua Conditioner (I washed it completely out)
Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave In
Combination of Pumpkin Seed, JBCO, Neem, and Sweet Almond Oils
Homemade Flaxseed Gel (I used Naptural85’s newest super easy recipe)

Overall I really like how soft my hair felt after using Soultanicals Pumpkin-Kaolin Healing Locks , the only thing is my hair did not maintain the shine it’s recently been having the next day. I think it’s partly because the clay while softening and make your hair look dry, but it should totally bounce back after.

Ingredients:
Distilled Water Botanically Infused with Horsetail, Sage, Nettle & Coltsfoot, Organic Aloe Juice, Pumpkin-Kaolin Clay, Olive Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Bentonite Clay, Pumpkin Powder, Phthalate-Free Fragrance, Gluconodeltalactone, Sodium Benzoate
