30 Days In! Well, almost...

So I have concluded that it is time for me to take down the Duby-weave. Not because I don't like how it looks, don't get me wrong, I love it and so it seems the same for everyone I know. Only because I am soooo not used to, not being able to get to my scalp...I mean REALLY get to it. I washed my scalp and the weave about a week ago, but I wasn't satisfied with the washing and I somewhat fear my hair becoming immensely tangled, the more I wet the braids underneath. I'm not sure if I am a "sew-in" person. I would rather so the hair onto a wig cap and wear the weave as a wig for a month. At least that way I can take my cornrows down and wash and moisturize and condition as  good as I always do.  I know I've got about a week left, but I figure I should at least let my hair and scalp breathe before the next style anyway. I did enjoy the care free maintenance aspect of the hair style . All I really did was wrap it and moisture my braids and scalp at night, and then comb it down in the morning. I gave up the bumping and curling every morning somewhere in the second week! It was cute but too much for me to do in the AM along with getting myself and my son ready for the day! So without further adieu I will be taking down the sew-in tonight and doing a DC (deep conditioning) and PT(Protein Treatment), so that I can run my fingers back through my nappy curly tresses that I've been missing so much! I am definitely one for playing in my hair, so to keep my hair locked a way so long obviously drives me nutz! Stay tuned for more on my 90-day hair challenge! Until next time.....

Understanding Hair Loss: Shedding Vs. Breakage

Shedding Vs Breakage, what's the difference?? Okay so I know neither of these terms are good to hair or to hear, especially for those on a growth journey or those who just want to have a healthy head of hair. But in some cases one of these occurrences is actually a lot better than the other. How so? Just walk with me for a moment... Often times hair shedding is perfectly normal! On average, we shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. When the body sheds significantly more hairs every day, a person has excessive hair shedding, but more on that later. So imagine if you're not combing or detangling your hair everyday, say you only do this once a week. This is a common practice among many naturalistas with highly textured hair, and can look like a massive loss on wash day. But if you think about the possible hundreds of strands sitting and waiting in your hair all week, what you are seeing is more than likely very normal. So what does shedding lo...

30 Days Au Naturale :The Deepest Condition

Image
So my journey continues... Cleansing my hair was a breeze, I'm  pretty accustomed to the amazing cleansing and curl renewing effects that Bentonite clay provides.  But can my all natural deep conditioning game come just as strong??? Well this OG curly girl has a few more tricks up her sleeve. That's right, I took a shake at those 14 year old coily roots and what do you know? A couple of miracle fruits and spices fell out: The Amazing Avocado & a Heavenly Honey pot 🍯 . Throw in a healthy fatty oil that's coconut sensitivity friendly and a star is born: The Honey Avocado Hair Mask 🌟. This recipe was one that I dabbled in some years back but never quite hit it off with. At the time the recipe I used included a banana and there was something about those left behind banana strings post deep condition treatment that just didn't sit quite right with me... or my scalp for that matter. I believe the original recipe I had come acr...

The Ultimate Hydrator

Image
The best ingredient for hydrating your hair is water... Just to make it plain... Water is your No. 1 source of hydration and moisture. If a product claims to moisturize your hair, it can only work with moisture a.k.a water that is already in your hair. Read your product directions Sis! The majority of leavins, conditioners and even styling products advise you to apply the product on wet or damp hair. That's because they were formulated to work best on wet hair, this is when your cuticle is open to receive moisture, and receive product. If are your hair is dry when you are piling products onto your strands, it's just sitting on top our your hair, causing build up and eventually making your hair even dryer. Please keep in mind... Please keep this in mind as well.... oils, butters and greases do not moisturize your hair. It's just not possible, they do not contain water. Most of these act as sealants! Sealants - Sealant is a substance used to block the passag...
