Hair Talk: Playing in CLAY.

Hello Everyone,


I have really cut back on my shampooing, from once a week with sulfate packed shampoos to once a month with black soap mixture. The other day I wanted to try something new for a good good scalp clarifying product and my mind went straight to Bentonite Clay. I started using this product about 2 months ago as a facial treatment, but after doing some research I realized the it was also wonderful on hair. And i love it my hair and scalp were so clean, but always felt good to the touch not hard and stripped. Here are some before and after pictures.

Hair Talk: It's the GREEK in me.

Hello everyone,

First sorry for being gone for so long but Im back and going to stay consistent this time. So lately i noticed i have been skimping when it comes to the protein so i went on a search and found something wonderful. I found a Greek yogurt deep conditioner that makes my hair feel amazing here's the video (courtesy of Naptural85)  if your interested and here are the pictures from my trial and error. 

Bottom line i love this stuff my curls look amazing and there was no need for any outrageous detageling because the yogurt took care of the hard stuff. The only thing i did different was that I didn't use lavender oil I used an oil mix I made.  I think everyone show try this at least once and see how good it works. Well thats it for today thanks so much for reading.

Hair Talk: Hair Of The Day.

Hello Everyone, 

I never do anything to my hair, I always run to two strand twists after a wash or co-wash. So yes I'm boring I know....well at least when it comes to my hair. Well not any more from this day on I will try to do a hair of the day or week or something. This will give me a reason to experiment with my hair and styles. Now I would like to present Day 1:

I didnt do at all because as stated earlier "I'm boring" but bottom line I put good ol' two strand twists in for about a week then took them down this morning and these are my results. Very, very defined twists not very big but i think day 2 will change all that. Here are a few pictures of day one:

P.S. I'm 8months natural!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
