Better Days Ahead...

Happy Friday Eve fellow naturals!!

I have been going through a tough time, but I do finally see a glimmer of light ahead. On top of all of that, last week while doing my hair, I noticed that I have a bald spot, thankfully it's a small one, but nonetheless it's a bald spot, and I truly was NOT happy about it. Also very glad that I have a lot of hair on top of my head to hide the little sucker! I have really been stressing, and I usually handle the stress in my life with ease. I guess it's true that it can get internalized and affect your body in so many ways, SMH. I immediately started massaging my scalp with some JBCO, I do see some hair starting to come back. I think I will start taking some of the vitamins that Curls of Joy talked about a couple weeks ago.

Last night, I did a braid out, of course this morning it was a little damp in some places, but it's just a little frizz and I like how it looks, I will post a pic below :)

 To all the mothers out there, I want to wish you a Happy Mom's Day and enjoy your days to the fullest & God bless!!!

I did a little up do today!

Shrinkage is the worst!!

Happy Thursday to my fellow naturals!!

It's been a while since I've been able to post, been really busy for the past week or so. Getting my youngest daughter ready to go back to school in NYC! If anyone knows of some apartments that may be available in Brooklyn or Manhattan, but Manhattan is so expensive, ugh!! My oldest daughter informed me that she is trying to finish school in Miami, so it seems my nest will be empty sooner than expected, no complaints here though :)


So this is week four of Know Your Hair, Love Your Hair challenge! I'm glad that I finally understand the whole hair typing situation, the videos helped tremendously! It's also good to know that I have high porosity hair.
The past couple of days I've been styling my hair in some interesting styles. I've received quite a few compliments, but I've also gotten some looks like "WTH were you thinking"! I don't care, it's MY hair, LOL! Last night I decided to try out the CG method, I started once before, but since it's very time consuming, I decided to stop. Well, last night I did the finger combing, didn't use a comb once, although you can use a wide tooth comb. You're suppose to do your hair in sections, which is why it's so time consuming. My curls came out popping, but I have MAJOR SHRINKAGE :( I know it comes with the territory, especially w/ wash & go's. So, my plan is to continue w/ this method and see how it goes.

Well, that's all for now, I plan to start posting a little more often, really trying to get the hang of this blogging, any tips for me would be greatly appreciated!

Peace & Love :)

Week Three of "Know Your Hair, Love Your Hair Challenge!!

Happy Tuesday my fellow naturals!!

Like the saying goes, you are what you eat and that applies to your hair as well. Unfortunately, I've learned that the hard way when it comes to caring for natural hair. This second time around I'm a lot more patient and so eager to do the right thing so that I get great results. I want to start taking Vitamin B complex, just to see if it really helps with hair growth.

I had an awesome weekend with my family. My mom had a great time @ the photo session that's she's been wanting to do forever. She really loved her birthday gift! I tried a cute hairstyle that I got from iknowlee (she is such a cutie, love her to pieces)! I received quite a few compliments from family and strangers :)

Here are a few pics from the shoot we did over the weekend! Hope everyone has a fantastic week! God bless!

Week two of "Know Your Hair, Love Your Hair" Challenge

Good afternoon my fellow naturals!

We're in week two of the hair challenge, and I found that Kimmaytube & LaBellaNatural's videos were VERY informative. I have been so busy in the last couple of days, that I didn't have any time to post. Really hoping everyone is having a great week thus far. I am subscribed to so many YouTube vloggers and Bloggers, but all of them have so much great information to share, it's kind of addictive, So, while watching one of iknowlee's videos, this one was a review of SunShine's Natural & Loving It, checked out her page and loved her products. I already ordered & received my shirt that I ordered from her, posting a picture soon.

Today's hairstyle is a curly fro, not too excited about it, but not disappointed either. Need to finish up my project I'm working on. Have a beautiful evening!

Good afternoon to my fellow naturals!
Hope everyone is having a good day so far, mine has been very uneventful. Not too busy @ the office, but I'm quite sure I'll be busy at my part-time this evening. My sister's & I (actually it's my youngest daughter's idea, love you MoNieshia) are trying to plan a huge surprise for my mother for mother's day. The problem is, she is so nosy I'm not quite sure how we're going to pull it off. Hopefully it will be a success :)
Well, I'm happy w/ my hair today, I did a twist out, but I tried smaller twists. I noticed a little hair coming out as I was twisting my hair. Basically, I tried to do a different method, w/o spraying w/ my water as usual. I just used the Shea moisture curling enhancing smoothie (BIG MISTAKE). After I brushed my hair with my denman brush, I noticed as I was twisting, my  hair was coming out!!!! YIKES!! I immediately sprayed my hair with my water and used the shea moisture and I immediately noticed a difference. I see my hair doesn't like that dry detangling method.
Here is my picture of today's style!

Happy Twist-Out!

Happy Friday people!!

Hope everyone's morning is going great for you. Today is another fun-filled day for me, busy day @ the office and then off to the part-time for more training. Not complaining, because I know I'm blessed. Got home earlier than usual last night, so I decided to do a twist out, I co-washed first, then used my leave-in conditioner, along with other hair products and started twisting. Loving my twist-out, I guess I'm getting better at it :)

Well, I'm out of here, need to get some things done before the day is over. Be blessed!
