I love God & my family. Some of my hobbies include; natural hair, music, fashion, and did I mention natural hair. I am the ultimate girlie girl; I love dressing up, doing hair, makeup, fashion and SHOES. I value family, life, embrace self acceptance and cherish the things God give me to steward. I am optimistic and also a skeptic. It cost absolutely nothing to be positive or negative, I choose to be positive. This blog will incorporate a mixture of things that I am most passionate about. The main focus is hair but I will throw other things in there every once in a while. Please feel free to comment and ask questions, I LOVE QUESTIONS! Since going natural I have been glued to my laptop, I enjoy networking with other naturals who share the same love and respect for natural hair. My goal is to reach waist length hair by Aug 23, 2013. Thank you for stopping by Peace & blessings. Happy growing!!!!

Summer Regimen


Summer is here and there is a lot of buzz about changes in the way we treat our hair. Last summer I did a lot of protective styling; my hair was a lot shorter and I wanted some length. This summer I plan to co wash more often to keep moister in. I also plan to keep my fave leave in (kimmaytube leave in) even closer because it has the perfect ph balance that keeps my hair moist all week.
Hairstyles:
I may do some PS styles that tuck the ends away since they tend to suffer the most with dryness.  I want to experience with styles that will help in protecting my ends such as buns (this will be new for me) and huge stylish cornrows (one of my bday hairstyles).
Products:
As far as products go, I plan to give glycerin a try. Last summer I used it but only because other naturals raved about how good it was for the summer. I didn’t personally see a difference. A lot of naturals are putting their heavy butters away in the summer but Shea Butter is my hairs best friend so instead of listening to other naturals I will listen to my hair and give it what it likes, I do however plan to use small amounts. With butters a little goes a long way. It only took a small amount to do my twists and my hair was moist and supper soft the entire time I had the twists in (1 ½ weeks).
