For the Next 30 Days.....

And for my next style, I present to you... my curly latch hook crochet weave! I actually saw this style on You Tube (thanks Blkbuttaflies & Toysvoice!) and knew that I had to try it. The hair I used is the Freetress bulk Water Wave TP 1B/30.



Before I installed the hair, I gave myself about a week and a half break and just wore my natural hair in a braidout. Then right before I put the weave in I did another protein treatment, similar to my first one I discussed, except I substituted the mayo for avocado. I still obtained stellar results, my hair felt so much healthier and stronger, and then I followed it up with  a DC of course! I'm thinking about posting a video of a short tutorial of this style so please let me know if you're interested! I'll try to keep updates on how my crochet style is holding up, and what I do for maintenance. Until then, Stay Happy and Nappy! LoL

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...
