Your menstrual cycle simplified 🌟🌟🌟💫

💫Your menstrual cycle is the time from the first day of one period to the first day of your next period. So if you have a 28-day cycle, it takes 28 days to get from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next.

💫The length of the menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman, but the average is to have periods every 28 days. Usually the cycle length has a range of 21 - 40 days.

💫Regular consistent cycles that are longer or shorter than this are normal. As such a person can have a consistently short cycle while others have a consistently long cycle and this is not abnormal.

💫You have irregular periods if the length of your menstrual cycle (the gap between your periods starting) keeps changing. You can keep track of your cycle by tracking the start date on your calendar or using an app✅

💫Using hormonal birth control may also change your length and variation ✅

This habit could be ruining your v*gina! 😢

There's a very dangerous habit which has been associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, bacterial vaginosis, cervical cancer, preterm birth, low birth weight babies and even infertility! 😭

It's known as v*ginal douching!

😫What is douching, you may ask? It’s the act of washing the v*gin* with water or even other fluids and substances to eliminate odours and keep the v*gin* clean.🙄

Needless to say, this is absolutely unnecessary and dangerous. The V*gin* is self cleansing and doesn’t require any cleaning. You can clean around the v***a but never the v*gin*.

Do you believe these sunscreen myths? 🧐🌟

Sunscreen offers protection against the dangerous UV rays of the sun, It could be in the form of a cream, gel, lotion or spray. 🌞

Sunscreen is very essential for us, yet many people do not use it because they don’t know the truth about it 🌞

Here are some of the common misconceptions people have about sunscreen.

🔆 Sunscreen causes cancer. FALSE.🚫 Sunscreens do not cause cancer. In fact, sunscreens help to prevent skin cancer by protecting the skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

🔆 Sunscreen isn’t necessary for Africans because we have dark skin. FALSE🚫, Sunscreen is important for everyone despite skin colour. Dark skin can also get damaged by the sun and skin cancer is no respecter of skin colour!

🔆I don’t need to wear sunscreen if I wear sunglasses. FALSE.🚫 Are there still people who believe that sunglasses are adequate sun protection for the whole body? Please, sunglasses only protect your eyes from the UV rays. It does nothing to protect your body.

🔆 I don’t need to wear sunscreen since the sun is not shining. FALSE🚫. Even though it might be a cloudy or windy day, the UV Rays can pe*****te the clouds to still damage your skin,

Which one of these myths did you believe?🤔 Share this with someone who needs to know the truth!📢

Everyone should have one. Do you?

Ladies! This is why you might be bald in the next 5 years!😫☹☹

We all have that elderly female relative who can only make certain hairstyles because she’s bald at the front of her scalp. 😆
We even whisper “It’s not my portion” when someone jokingly mentions that you might end up being partially bald like your mum, aunt or grandma.😏

Well, guess what?🥱 That will be your story in the next 5 years if you don’t take the following steps 📝

💇‍♀️ Step one: Stop making hairstyles that are too tight and pull on your scalp. Avoid hairstyles that pull your front hair as well. You should take it out immediately if it feels painful or even uncomfortable.

💇‍♀️Step two: Avoid laying your wigs and frontals directly on your edges. Also, reduce heat applied to your hair through dryers or straighteners.

💇‍Step three: change your hairstyles frequently and avoid using too many gels and edge control on your edges.

Keep your hair clean, moisturized and sealed with oil at all times. Was this useful? 😇Add your tips in the comments section and follow for more!
