SheaMoisture

I went to Walgreens to purchase "Shea Moisture" for my natural hair. I have been using it for two days now. My hair feel softer. I plan on using it and sticking to one product at a time to see what works best for my hair.

I guess I wanted my hair to be like naptural85 but we are totally different. We have different genetic make up. I look at all these natural women on youtube and I think that my hair would look like that. No way man, it does not happen. We are unique in every way.

                                             This picture above is two weeks post "BC".

I have been feeling depressed about my hair. I look like a "chica pet". I was not looking cute, not feeling cute and my heart was not into it. But I promise myself I would stay with it. I do not want to be a "quiter".

Hair Encouragement

Yesterday, I had a bad hair day. I co-wash my hair and left the conditioner on my hair for about an hour (I worked last nite 12 hours). I fell asleep with conditioning cap on. I washed the conditioner out and tried my hair up.

First mistake I did was, I did not put an oil on my hair. ( I was so sleepy). Tonite I put so H2O on my hair, follow by shea butter, then flaxseed gel. I always tie my hair up at nite which I never do.

It is so amazing that our hair has so many emotions attached to it. I have been depressed for about a week. I thought I would have curls automatically. I am trying to find my own haircare regimen. I want to have healthy happy hair.

Until next time, Kitay Girl

I Guess my Hair Type is 4b?

Last night I sprayed my hair with (H20 and Aloe Vena Juice) and reslick my hair back with the Flaxsee gel. I made Monday. Then, I put the shea butter mixture I also made on Monday. I notice that my hair was shown some waves.

I did some research on "curly pattern" and "natural hair type". I came upon a website. I can't remember the name. I think it was "curly nikki" anyway am not sure. I wanted my hair to be curly but its going to be wavey. Kind of like "Jill Scott" when she first came out with her first recorded album.

I have to go to work tonite at the hosptial and it looks okay. I put a handband on it and rocked some bead type earrings. While that is all for now. Until next time.

Peace

Flaxseed Gel and Shea Butter

Hello World,

I was up all last night. Why? First, I have a 20 month old child, so I have to wait unitl she goes to sleep. I am following a young lady on youtube by the name of "naptural85". She has some mixtures. One recipe is for "Flaxseed Gel" and "Creamy Shea Butter".

I tried the Flaxsee Gel last night. My hair is short. I did the "BC" on August 8, 2011. My hair smells good but the oils has a strong smell. I would only put 4 drops of each oil in the gel.

Ingredients:

Flaxseeds 1 cup

Water (H2O) 2 1/2 cups

Basil Essential Oil 4 drops

Rosemary Essential Oil 4 drops

Ylang Ylang 4 drops

Lavender Essential oil 5 drops

Tips: Add more water to make it thiner. Keep stiring when cooking. When you get ready to straining the gel used "tights". Also used a medium size bowl. Add the oil when you have strain all the gel. After the "gel" is set. I put my gel in an old hair container. Shake really well and put in refrigerator.

Rainbow (Whole Food Store)

Today in another hair day. I did not put anything on my hair but an oil mixture I brought from Wal-Mart. My hair looks okay. I just wish my natural curl pattern will come throught.

So, I went to a "whole food" store not "Whole Foods" but they sell natural products for your hair. I brought some Ylang Ylang, Rosemany Essessal Oil, Lavenda Essessal Oil, Basil Essessal Oil and Flax Seeds to make homemade gel.

I will try and make it Monday nite for my hair. I will let you'll know how it turns out.

Peace

"The Big Chop"

Hello Everyone,



Yesterday was the day, I cut all my relaxed hair off. It was scary at first. It was scary at first. I needed to be natural for me and my hair needs me to be natural. I want to have healthy hair. I was inspired by a young lady on YouTube. Her name is "naptural85". I love her hair its so shine looking, long and healthy.

I ask my husband did he like it. While to me he seems to like it. It said he has to get used to me been natural.

I went to work today and some of my co-workers (non-African American) said they liked it. I really don’t know because we don’t have a relationship. They are just co-workers.

I really have to get used to the look. I have also gain some weight so my face is fat looking. I am also working on my healthy as well. I know what to do fare as exercising. I have a major in Health Education. Lol. I will try to blog every other day. Try to make my blog better.

Love, Peace, and Afro-Grease
