How This New Bond Repair Line Transformed One Mother's Postpartum Shedding Into The Ultimate Curl Comeback
This article is in partnership with SheaMoisture
For Crystal Obasanya, her wash day woes came shortly after her son did. The beauty and lifestyle content creator had been natural for years, but during postpartum, she quickly learned about one reality many mothers can relate to experiencing: postpartum hair loss. “Sis had thinning hair. Sis had split ends,” she shared about her hair changes in a Reel via xoNecole.
Over a year into her postpartum journey, Crystal explained she also had dry, brittle hair, noting that keeping it hydrated before pregnancy had already been “a task.” The 4C natural recalled going from thick hair during pregnancy to a thin hairline due to postpartum shedding as “devastating.” When it came to strengthening and revitalizing her hair, the new SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection was just the thing she needed to elevate her damaged coils to revive and thrive status and get them poppin' again.
SheaMoisture is providing us with the cheat code for transforming dry and damaged strands into thriving and deeply nourished crowns. By unveiling their 4-step hair system, the SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection is equipping you with the tools to reverse signs of hair damage caused by protective styling, heat, and color and is uniquely formulated for Type 3 and 4 hair textures.
The haircare system revives damaged natural hair by repairing and rebuilding broken hair bonds through a game-changing combination of HydroPlex Technology and AminoBlend Complex, a unique blend of fortifying amino acids formulated specifically for curly and coily hair. Scientifically proven to reduce breakage by 84% and make your hair six times stronger (vs. non-conditioning shampoo), the collection infuses your hair with the nourishment it craves and the strength it deserves.
All five products of the SheaMoisture Bond Collection are infused with natural strengthening ingredients like Amla Oil and fair-trade shea butter. The collection consists of the 4-step breakage-fighting Bond Repair system, as well as the Bonding Oil.
“When trying it out, I quickly noticed that my hair felt revived and renewed, and my curls were so hydrated,” Crystal said while using the Amla-infused Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner. “I also felt my hair strands were stronger.” So much so that the influencer felt brave enough to get her hair braided shortly thereafter. “I can definitely say that I will be keeping it in my hair wash routine,” she added in the caption of her Reel about her positive experience using the products.
SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection is making bond-building a key player in your wash day routines and the purveyor of life for thirsty manes. Because who doesn't want stronger, shinier, happier hair?

Usher's Wellness Routine Includes Fasting Every Wednesday, Meditation, And More
Usher is opening up about balancing his physical and mental health with an incredibly busy lifestyle.
The 45-year-old has had a monumental year, juggling his roles as a husband and full-time father to four children with significant career milestones. Usher delivered a show-stopping performance at the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show, released his ninth studio album, Coming Home, earlier this year, and is gearing up on his "Past Present Future World Tour" in August. Despite his demanding commitments, the "Good Good" singer maintains his well-being by incorporating several practices into his routine, including fasting.
This practice, which can be adopted for religious or health reasons, involves abstaining from consuming food and drinks for a certain period of time. One standard fasting method is intermittent fasting, where individuals follow time-restricted eating patterns. Healthlinereports that fasting offers several potential health benefits, including blood sugar control, lower blood pressure, enhanced brain function, increased metabolism, weight loss, and more.
Usher On Why He Fasts Every Week
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Usher revealed his weekly fasting routine and shared the reasons behind this practice.During the conversation, the "You Don't Have To Call" songster explained that he fasts because it was a practice his grandmother followed, which inspired him to incorporate it into his own lifestyle.
"I fast, not for religious purposes, but it's something my grandmother practiced," he said. "I typically try to start around 11 p.m. the previous day, then go the entire day on Wednesday just drinking water."
Usher On His Wellness And Fitness Regimen
In addition to fasting, Usher attributed his wellness and fitness journey to meditation, yoga, and spending time outdoors. The star demonstrates his commitment to health by prioritizing it every morning before tackling anything else.
"I try to wake up early enough to have a moment of reflection. Some days I may grab a book and read to stimulate my mind," he stated. "I may sit quietly and meditate. One thing that is a frequent practice is yoga. It really does help to activate my organs and get my mind moving in the right direction—as Tony Robbins would say, 'make my move,' you know what I mean?"
Another habit the "Confessions Part II" singer has incorporated into his lifestyle is drinking celery juice daily and eating breakfast, mainly eggs, after completing his workouts.
Toward the end of the segment, Usher shared that he has maintained his toned physique through simple activities like walking, swimming, and bike riding.
"Normally, my workout regimen starts either walking or with certain knee activations and reverse walking that I do to really engage my quads, my knees and glutes," he said "I've had minor surgeries on my knee, I had a torn meniscus. Other than that, swimming is a really good thing to get me going, and bike riding. Weight lifting, don't do a lot of that."
Given the recent revelation about Usher’s wellness and fitness routine, it's no wonder he's aged gracefully over the years and continues to captivate fans with his timeless looks.
