FRIDAY PRODUCT REVIEW IS IN!!!

Hey Ladies,


*** THE VERDICT*****

I LOVVVVVEEE THIS STUFF! buy it buy it! Its thick , creamy and moisturizing. My little big curls are soo shiny. major hold too ! I purchased my tube for 15 bones.. but they do have a small one... to try for ...3 bucks!!! Its a good steal !! I totally recommend this product!!

I can't keep my fingers out of my hair people !!!!!!!! 5 Stars


I already have a soft texture but who wouldn't want it softer soo I went on a man hunt for that product ..

I have been reading alot of product reviews on Redken All Soft Heavy Cream !! I'm not big on spending big bucks on hair products but the reviews were all 5 stars. check out what it claims to do.

REDKEN All Soft Heavy Cream Super Treatment 8.5 oz


*Hair is dramatically softer with increased manageability, movement and luminous shine.
*Provides intense softness, replenishment and strength.
*Formulated with Redken's exclusive Interbond System and Silk Luxe Complex.
*A rich, deep conditioning cream that intensely softens and controls frizz on extremely dry, brittle hair.

I will post the Verdict Friday!! :) later Gators Yan

I Officially found my HAIR TWIN!

Hey ladies!!

I know alot of you look at naturally curly .com and curly nikki and compare your hair type to others who may have longer hair. EVERYONE SHOULD FIND A HAIR TWIN. YOU JUST MIGHT FIND YOUR HOLY GRAIL HAIR PRODUCT.I have been on a search with someone with my hair type for the longest. It helps me range ( because I'm impatient) what my hair will look like in the matter of months. I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE! I looked far and wide and I found the wavy, curly hair very similar to mine. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

COMPARISON PHOTOS.

NATURAL BEAUTY # 10!!!! ;-P

Hey Tan! It's Romney @CoarseDame from twitter! I finally had some time and really wanted to do this!!!



My story: I have had 2 traumatic hair losses in the past 4 years. Both were due to low maintenance with relaxers, I didn't have the money while I was in school to do them and the first mistake was letting someone do an out of the box relaxer my freshman year of college. I lost so much hair...I can't even explain it. I began wearing half wigs and braids until I finally went back home to my original hair dresser. She cut my hair wicked short, but it was for the best and had to be done. The second traumatic hair loss was nearly 2 years later, my hair had grown back I was doing relaxers in more a routing about once very 2 months, because financially that's all I could afford. Unfortunately after deciding to chop my hair down into a bob with bangs I had a hard time maintaining that and it began to fall off yet again! I was applying way too much heat on my hair and it broke off rather quickly. My hair was so uneven, I didn't know what to do! I finally saw the light and realized that this obviously was NOT for me anymore. At the time I was living in Chicago and I was able to locate someone (who is now a dear friend) that specializes in natural hair care and transitioning styles. Immediately we clicked and she cut off my damaged hair and put latchook weave in my hair. This was the beginning of my natural journey. I'm not sure if that was my BC but I surely think of it as one. I transitioned from Jan. 08 to May 09. I trimmed my relaxed hair in between and no longer have any left. I have been rockin my natural hair with pride since I've moved to Boston. I feel like a new me and I'm loving it. Recently I started a Meet Up group for naturals living in the Boston area and I also just launched my personal natural blog. I'm not really sure what the purpose of my blog is yet, I will be using it as an outlet for those who may have the same natural hair care questions as me! I just want to thank you for reading this, it means a lot to me.

Thank You hunn Glad u gave us your story!!!! ;-p Loved it!!!

You Have Nice Hair For a Dark Skin Girl!!!

..... I know the title is a bit much... but I have heard this from alot of people pertaining to my co-worker. I can't believe some people but here is my story. She has beautiful , waist length,fine spirals that compliment her chocolate skin. My coworker is very use to this but it disturbing that just because someones complexion can determine their hairtype. So many people stare at her and make comments such as "that must be a weave".." wow look at her".....I wonder ..
I wonder WOULD PEOPLE WHISPER OR MAKE SIDE COMMENTS OF DISBELIEF IF SHE WAS A FEW SHADES LIGHTER?

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.

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.
