LOVELY NATURAL OF THE MONTH!!

December 15, 2009

Introducing our very 1st natural beauty of the month!

How long have you been natural?: I have been natural my entire life!

Wow how old are you?: 22 years old.

what made your mom NOT relax your hair?: My mom just decided not to,

She is natural and so is my sister. There were times I wanted to relax my hair,

But then I saw the damage it did to some people’s hair, so I chose to stay natural.

Favorite hair product?:vo5 tea tree conditioner, coconut oil and shea butter.

What is your hair routine?: I wash my hair every 9 days,

once I’m done I deep condition, and blow dry.

What’s your favorite hair style?: A 3 strand twist out!

How do you do that?: take a section of hair, split the section in to 3 parts twist two of the strands around one strand, let it sit overnight then untwist.

(do not add a lot of shea butter to your hair, it will make it look greasy)

Any advice for natural newbies?: stay away from certain shampoos because they can dry your hair out. make sure you add moisture to your hair daily,because natural hair can be very drying. when trimming your hair,remember to always trim at an angle and not straight across.

What’s your favorite hair accessory?: I love stretchy headbands,

especially when I rock a puff, it helps to hold all my hair back.

my molasses and henna treatment

November 16, 2009

hey everyone hope i all is well, i have been loving my hair, i have not worn a weave

in over 3 weeks lol it’s been a lot easier, just wash and go or should i say spray and go lol

but i love it.

Last Saturday i did a new henna treatment and i want to share it with ya’ll.

i did a henna and molasses treatment. it was wonderful, what i did was mix my henna together then i added 2 tablespoons of molasses to it, i ended up doing an over night henna treatment which i now do cus it’s easier to let it work it’s magic while i sleep lol.

Anyways when i washed it out, i noticed a big difference my hair was softer it was easier to comb and my curls were looser, it also made my henna darker it took off some of that red tint!

it was nice, i had more of a brown tint to my hair,

after wards i applied my oils and twisted my hair i really enjoyed this treatment

i would recommend trying it and seeing how you like it.

my recipe

about 1 cup of henna

2 tbs of olive oil

2 tbs of coconut oil

1 tbs of acv

1 tbs spoon of aloe vera juice

2 tbs of molasses

about 2 cups of warm water…

i applied it in sections, then i applied a shower cap and a old scarf, then i went to sleep on a old pillow case=) my hair turn out really soft.

Benefits:

Molasses – contains natural sulfur/sulphur which is a mild natural fungicide, that rehydrates & detoxifies cell fibers by allowing water & nutrients into the cells & toxins to flow out. Sulphur is one of the key building blocks for healthy hair growth.

molasses is a great treatment for damaged hair.

it is said to strengthen and stop hair loss, it can also help to regrow hair.

With continuous use Black Strap Molasses is said to darken gray hairs over a period of time.

use can also use molasses As a pre poo use 1/2 cup of pure Black Strap Molasses to damp hair and let sit for 30 minutes… ( You could leave it on over night if you like) Rinse and shampoo and condition as usual.

you will see a big difference in your hair… real talk=0)

As a conditioner:1/2 cup molasses with 1/2 cup Jamaican black castor oil or regular castor oil.

your hair will be super soft and super shiny, to me home made products are the best way to go the only thing i now buy from store are cheapie conditioners, and herbal essence conditioners…most of my hair products are things that i make from my kitchen,

it’s easier because i know what’s in it, and they make my hair grow fast so i have no complaints=)
