Color-treated Happy Napps?

For the past two months or so I've been trying to maintain a protective style regimen. There are two main reasons for this: one is because of what I call the "awkward" phase/length that my hair is at. The other is because I am planing on making a drastic change that will affect the state and possible health of my hair. Color.  Yes, I'm going to take that plunge and jump into that daring feat of being a color treated natural.

I really think the idea of having color treated hair as a natural, should not have to be and really isn't as scary and "damaging" as people make it out to be.

Honestly, I believe if you do your research (as any one considering coloring their hair should), and dedicate yourself to taking extra care of your hair, you will discover that the label of having colored  treated hair is just that: a label.

Since rocking my famous Rihanna red sew in a few months back, I had been toying with tte idea of going a deep burgundy red. Well, after committing to a color and actually making a purchase, all that was left for me to decide on was when to do the deed. That is where I am now.

I'm doing another protective style this weekend for the next month, and after I take it
down, I'll make that change and hopefully the next time you see these happy napps, they will be a dazzling red! Wish me luck.

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

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...
