Winter Time Products

Winter time is harsh on my hair and since I don't wear protective styles that much I have to make sure I am moisturizing my hair. My favorite products so far are:

Qhemet Biologics Alma and Heavy Cream
Afroveda Curly Custard
Paul Mitchell Lavender Mint Moisturizing Conditioner
VO5 Moisture Milk Conditioner

What products do you love for the winter time?

1 Year Anniversary

My hair at one year can't really see the length but it has diffently grown. I added color in the top to give it some dimension. The color I used was Paul Mitchell The Color I have 3 colors going on some dark brown , gold and copper tones. I diffently noticed a difference when I used box color the first time and professional color this time. Can you see the difference? For one, my curl pattern didn't get looser like the first time, and its not dry its very moisturized. Natural girls I diffently recommend professional color or henna (vegetable dye).

I AM BACK UPDATES

First I must say I have truly miss blogging.I have so many things I have to talk bout first I must say I haven't had the time to blog because I had to adapt to my new life change. I decided it was time for a career change. I decided to go back to school and do something I have a passion in and that's hair yes hair... I am attending Paul Mitchell The School and I must say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am learning so much about myself, talents. Skills things I thought I couldn't even do.. Such as razor cut an entire haircut. One of the things I have grown to love more and more is being natural in this industry. I am always inspiring someone. The teachers, students or guests they are curious to know what made me go natural what products am I using or how do I get my hair to do that. Being in school and seeing how relaxers have caused so much damaged I am so glad now I can say sodium hydroxide and ATG is very bad for the hair. I have the knowledge now why these chemicals has caused so much damage to the hair.So stay tuned for pics of my hair growth and my work. This blog will be about natural hair and other textures as well.

8th Month Hair Journey

I know its been a minute since I have updated. I wish I could do it from my phone but having technical issues. So here is my natural hair at 8 months. It is growing and I have noticed that the less I manipulate it the better it grows. The products I used in this twist out is Afroveda Pur Hair Jelly and Oyin Whipped Pudding. Tell me what ya think?

New Product I Love So Much is Afroveda Pur Whipped Hair Gelly. All I can say is the best twist out so far.

Afroveda Claim:

Omg thats all I am going to say about Afroveda products. I used the Afroveda Totally Twisted Ginger Almond Butter and Afroveda Pur Whipped Hair Gelly and can I say I had a twistout that turned so many heads including men asking me how do I get my hair to look like that. The butter melted instantly in my hair and left my hair moisturized and soft. I noticed that my hair responded better with Afroveda Pur Whipped Gelly than Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding. The curl definition that Afroveda products provides is amazing. The pictures are not the best quality taken from my blackberry but here are the results of a 3 day old twist out.

Natural Hair Daughers

After reading LocRocker I was inspired to do a post about my daughters natural hair. When I am out with my daughters I am always getting ask if I am going to put a relaxer in my oldest daughter hair. My response is always heck no. I want my daughters growing up loving their natural hair regardless of how thick curly coily kinky it might be. I do not want my daughters to feel in order for them to be accepted their hair needs to be straight or look a certain way. A lot of parents put chemicals in their daughter's hair to feel that it is the only way they can manage their hair.I feel that we as parents have to do what is best for our children hair. One of the things I can not stand is to see a child with rubber bands on their hair that is too tight until you see the white bumps around the edges. I use the same products for my hair in my daughter's hair. I deep conditioned and use hot oil treatments the same way I would take care of my hair. I do not use heat on their hair not even a blow dryer. When I braid my daughter's hair in order to get it stretched I wash it and plait in 8 sections and wait 2 days to make sure its very dry and braid that way. I just love to see little girls with natural hair the way God intend for their hair to be.
