Best Twist Cream, Gel and Butter for Natural Hair

Requested: NATURAL HAIR | SOFT FLEXI ROD SET PART 2 - RESULTS

So I finally got around to doing my first flexi rod set of the year!  Whoot-whoot!  :)

I absolutely love flexi rod sets on natural hair.  They are beautiful and so versatile.

To prep my hair, I washed with Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tinge Conditioner, used Kinky Curly Knot Today as my leave in conditioner, then saturated each section (i like to roll the hair wet) with my water bottle which contained 50/50 water and aloe juice.  Lastly, before rolling I applied Organic Root Stimulator Twist and Lock Gel on each section.  This product has parabeans in it, so I generally only use when I know I'll be using a clarifying shampoo or giving myself an apple cider vinegar treatment. 

Let me know what you think of the finished style!

Great Protein Treatments For All Hair Types!

Hey guys!  Just wanted to share with you some of my absolute favorite store bought natural hair protein treatments.  I love these particular products because they work beautifully on a variety of hair types!

Many folks are afraid of protein because they think it'll dry the hair out or cause it to get hard...but when used properly, you actually get the opposite results.  Protein is important for our hair because it strengthens it, softens it, allows our curls to pop pop pop and helps tremendously with hair length retention.

I hope you try one of these on your next wash day!

Natural Hair | Quick Beach Waves - 2 Heads, 1 Style: Tutorial and Results 3C + 3C, 4A/B

When my daughter and I began our natural hair journey, we quicklWy realized that some techniques and products worked perfectly for her, but left my hair a hot mess and vice versa.  While others worked perfectly fine on both of our hair textures (she has thick coily hair, I have fine combination hair) but left us with beautiful, but sometimes different looks.  For example here's:

Daughter's Wash And Go

Mommy's Wash and Go

For that reason we've been looking forward to trying different natural hair styles and products at the same time to share with you our thoughts and results.

Here is our first set of videos in this series!  I hope you enjoy them!

Lovin Some Lippies!!!

I've been rather obsessed with lippies for the past few months.  You guys know I'm on a budget, so I cannot camp out at the MAC counter awaiting the newest RiRi lippies at almost $20 bucks a pop. 

BUT I DID FIND SOME DELISH wonderfully pigmented, moisturizing and long wearing lipsticks from Wet n Wild, NYX and ICE that I absolutely love!!!  The fact that their price ranged from .99 cents - $2.99 made them deals I could not pass! 

I thought I'd share the love by demo'ing a few for you!  Check them out and let me know your favorite!  Looking for a signature color for summer.  Blessings!!  :)

Dr. Oz # Day Detox Cleanse | I Lost 3 Pounds and Feel GREAT!

Hey guys! 

I recently completed the Dr. Oz 3 Day Detox as a part of my health and wellness journey.  I did the cleanse in hopes of eliminating harmful toxins, restore my system and to reset my body while giving it a break from all of the bad stuff we sometimes consume.

I decided to do the Detox because I've had sooo much trouble kick starting my normal 21 day fast.  It just wasn't happening for me, so I was so happy when I discovered Dr. Oz's 3 Day Detox!  Anyone can do just 3 days, right?  LOL. 

All you need is 3 days, a blender and $16 a day! What could go wrong, right?  LOL! 

Enjoy the vlog below where I share my thoughts on detox and provide a few tips I learned along the way!

 

Here's the detox grocery list and 3 day meal plan!
