NATURAL BEAUTY # 8!!!! ;-P

I thought I would join in the fun!!!!!!!!!

Us naturals have to stick together........

The pictures are 2 years of naturally me and loving it. I rarely straighten my hair as

1) don't like the look 2) don't like long hair on my neck and its way past that when straightened with chi iron.

My go to staples are Shea Butter and a spray bottle with water/glycerin/suave condish.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your wonderful blog.

I am soo excited about this ladies.. They are doing a segment on The Black Hairstory....

DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD??

MAKES ME FEEL GOOD.. WHEN OTHERS LET ME KNOW MY HAIR LOOKS GOOD. ESPECIALLY OF THE OPPOSITE SEX.... I do have a man... but its nice to hear it from others too... keep it tight, keep it tight.

So, Ladies..... WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD?? SHARE COMMENTS...

BOO HERBAL YES AUSSIE!!!!

OK .. TAN AND I WERE SOO GONE ON HERBAL ESSENCES BUT WE STARTED TO NOTICE A CRISPY FEELING.... MUY MAL!! LOL I MEAN DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT WAS MOISTURIZED BUT WHO REALLY LIKES CRISPY HAIR. SO.. WE REACHED OUT AND FELL DEEP IN LOVE WITH ....

DRUM ROLL PLEASE..

Advertised: Accented with Australian Aloe it gives thirsty, dry hair a long and quenching drink for silky hair.So your hair walks into a bar and says "I'm parched! Pleeeease give my hair a drink to quench its thirst!" "Right away" says the tender as he slides the Moist Conditioner accented with Aloe and Jojoba Oil. It's not funny, but it works.

Price: $4 for 13.5 oz OR $6 for 34oz/1 liter(!!)

Ingredients: Water, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Glutamic Acid, Fragrance, Bis Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Benzyl Alcohol, EDTA, Ecklonia Radiata Extract (Australian Sea Kelp), Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Extract, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

Review: . That’s right, a PUMP. Which is GREAT for distributing conditioner and other products in the shower. Seriously, ALL PRODUCTS FOR USE IN SHOWER SHOULD COME WITH A PUMP. This conditioner is also a little thicky thick.. which is great for molding... and finger styling your curls like i do to define them. The end dry result is a soft hold with shine, shine ,and more shine. I love this conditioner to death....... GOOOOD BYE HERBAL ESSENCES ....YOU HAVE BEEN DROPPED.

PLEASE TRY THIS CONDITIONER OR BUST!!

Note: Bis Aminopropyl Dimethicone is not water soluble BUT it repels further deposition of amine-functional polymers on top of the existing layer that it deposited first so it actually helps prevent build up.

**Milk and Honey Hair Smoothie Mix**

Milk & Honey Hair Smoothie!!!!! Pre/Post Swim Conditoner (Its Summer Time!!!!)

1 can of pure coconut milk (rich moisturize - hydrates, conditions and de-frizzes hair)
1 ripe avocado (natural source of protein - chlorine robs the hair of protein)
2 tablespoons of pure honey (conditions and adds sheen)
2 tablespoons of olive oil (hydrophobic oil that acts as a barrier to chlorine and salt water)

Directions: Add ingredients to blender. Mix at high speed until your concoction reaches a smoothie consistency. Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can warm up your hair smoothie in the microwave before next application...just enough to re-chill.

How to apply to Hair:Section hair into 4 segments. Generously apply evenly to hair, from root to ends concentrating on ends..(ends are most damaging). Smooth hair into a protective style (braided ponytail, or a bun).

After that its FUN TIME IN THE WATER!!!! ENJOY ;-P

Keeping it T-i-g-h-t!!!!!!

Ladies!! This is a subject i had to deal with for a long time with my boyfriend and even co-workers... I mean it was a big change cuting my hair and it was hard for me to get my hair to look cute for a while.. but time passed and I got the hang of it.

If you do the Big Chop you can still look cute..... so don't let others discourage you like I was.... with comments such as

you don't have the right head shape? BOOO

if you are a pretty girl.. which all of you are.. any length will look good on YOU!!

One woman that has inspired me a lot with her cute, short , curly cut is .......

NICOLE MURPHY

She is SO beautiful and classy. I really love the way she carries herself. I LOVE HER STYLE!!

Meanwhile.. I can not wait till my hair is long and full just like the Mataano Twins!!

They are two very talented Somalian born designers from Washington, D.C.

NATURAL BEAUTY # 5!!!! ;-P

Hello Beautiful Ladies of YANTAN,

My name is Tywanna. Well thought I would take this opportunity to tell you I use to apply relaxers on my hair for years. It wasn't until I was pregnant with my daughter, when I decided to stop using any chemicals towards my hair. Since then, I have promoted to my freinds and family that natural is the only way to be. Also, letting my daughter know that there is nothing wrong with having beautiful curly hair and having the option to wear it straight without using chemicals. I have been without chemicals in my hair for five years and my hair has been so healthy ever since. So I am sending you some pics of me with my natural wavy/curly hair and on occasions I would were it straight.

I do my own hair by the way. Keep this information going because it is so beautiful being all natural!

The products I use: When I wear my hair curly is:Pantene Shampoo and Condtioner for Curly hair


Dr. Mircale Shampoo with Conditioner

Infusium 23 MoistureOlogie Leave in Conditioner

AMPRO Clear Ice Protien Gel (to keep my curls tamed)

When I decide to where hair straight I use:Shampoo and Conditioner above,Clairol Jazzing Hair Color Clear

Jazzing Clear Sulafane to enhance my natural color which gives my hair a gloss and maintians frizz Vitapointe from Clairol Vitapointe Creme Haridressing- Non-Greasy

Ceramic Flat Iron

Tywanna L. Hill....

IF BETTER IS POSSIBLE, then GOOD IS NOT ENOUGH....

THANK YOU SO MUCH HUNN! YOUR HAIR IS TO DIE FOR!! THE LENGTH IS WHERE YANTAN WANTS TO BE!! WE CAN'T WAIT!! ;-P ONCE AGAIN THANK U FOR THE PICS!!
