Protective style within a protective style

I have a new challenge that is to wear my twist in a bun, the sides are twisted in to two large twist a pin up to the back, for a whole month I will try not to take the bun down until I wash and dc my hair which will probaly be sometime next week. I have HITF(hand in the fro) problem so this might be harder for me to do. I feel this would help reduce the little knots that i get in my hair and less tangles. No touching of the hair for a while.

Who Say's Natural Hair Is Boring

I love have my natural hair at first it took me sometime to warm -up to the fact that I have stop flat ironing my hair. When I would wear my hair straight it was always in a pony tail but I said at least its straight. Now that I wear my hair in its natuarl state I feel I have so many options. Just two weeks ago when I took down my individual braids I decided to let my hair breath with in those two day I experimented with so many differnt styles. Now that my twist are getting longer I can too wear them in differnt ways up do's, half-up-half-down, to the side,all down in a bun you name I think the list can go on and on. It is so much fun to go natural it so much easier and verstile than when I would wear my hair straight

The Joys of Shea Butter(Raw)

Shea Butter Review

For the first time in my life I have purchased some shea butter and I love the results so far. With just a little bit it makes my hair feel so soft and smooth just like silk. It provides great shine and it is not thick at all once you warm it up with your hands. I purchased unrefined shea butter so the smell is not the best(I have a sensitive nose) most people cant smell the scent.

Easy Take out

I had my braids in my hair for almost three months and I barley had any tangels or knots!!
The reason for this I belive was deep conditioning and hot oil treatments keep those braids moist if you are going to keep in for a long time!!! Braids are great for a protective style but you must take care for them.

braid out

To Wash or Not Wash That Is the Question?

Before I went natural stop the process of pressing my hair everytime it revert to its natural pattern I would wash my hair with shampoo about every two weeks or so that dependent on the type of activity I was doing. I would wash my hair with load of shampoo and put a dalop of conditioner on my hair for less than a minute.(Im shaking my head as I type this) That was my hair washing techinques before I got educated

My second month of journey of being natural I would still wash my hair with shampoo and this time I added more conditioner and keep it on for 3o mins or so. Than Later I learned about the "curly girl method" to just wash hair only with conditioner(co.wash). I have been using this method ever since so a little over a year and I can tell you my hair has benifit from it a great deal. Learning about the harsh sulfates in shampoo made me use them less. I now only co. wash. I might was my hair with some shampoo but that is very rare only when I feel my hair to be very gross feeling.

The benifits of co.washing method for me

My hair has more shine to it. It is not so dull

My hair is more manageable

My coils are more noticeable

My hair feels stronger

My hair is softer than before

My hair is not as brittle as before

So What Do You Do?

Why I love olive oil

As we all know olive oil has great benifits for the body inside and out. It is great for cooking and healtheir for the degsitive system. But Im going to talk about the great benifits olive oil has for the outside of the body. Rember take care of the inside before you do the outside!!!



The reason I like olive oil for my hair is that is moisturize my hair with out cloging the pores and it gives the hair a great shine. Olive oil is realtivley cheap and for a natural on a budget and it is one of the must have prouducts. Adding olive oil to your fave conditione will add more slipage and it is also helping with deep conditioning as well.

Usage of olive oil

Hot oil treatment no need to buy a treatment at your local beauty store. Make your own hot oil treatment with olive oil

Use it to message scalp every night!!!!
