Healthy Hair With A Side Of Water

Hello to all of my lovely naturals,

I apologize for leaving you all high and dry but between my family getting the stomach flu and five birthdays in January and my network shutting down I had to take a break. Okay so within this time I have been keeping my hair in twists so I have had my hair in twists for about two weeks. Usually I only keep my twists in for about a week. So dealing with the fuzziness has been something that I have had to come to terms with. But all in all I love the style and I have been making the fuzziness work for me. Which brings me back to my title as I have stated before in my previous posts I am totally addicted to water and it does a body good. But something that I have started to realize is that one of the perks to having natural hair is that water is my friend long gone are the days that I have to be afraid of rain or hesitate about getting in the pool. In order for me to keep my hair moisturized while in the twists I spray it with water every other day and everyday I apply my spritzer to my hair before I hop in the shower. For the recipe to my spritzer check my other posts. The only down side to having my hair in the twists is that the middle of my head itches sometimes but other that that I love it. As I continue on my journey I am falling in love over and over again with my hair. Just the fact that I am no longer afraid of water or that when I jump in the shower I don't have to freak out if I forgot to put my shower cap on is awesome! So don't forget to drink your 8 glasses of water or just get a water bottle and carry it around with you. You know they say that it takes 1 month for something to become a habit do yourself a favor and make drinking water a habit. Oh and if you are in a bind you know where you hair is not acting right try applying some water on it. I swear you will have a new fav product!


Always,

My Miracle Elixir: Whipped Coconut Oil

Hello to all of my lovely naturals!

Alright I am not sure which site I got this from but it is the bomb! After I hennaed my hair (well talk about that later) I put it into twists and sealed it with my whipped coconut oil. I loved it because it is not as heavy as my whipped shea butter so I can use this whenever I need something more than my spritzer but less than my whipped shea butter and it adds just the right amount of sheen. Try it!


1/2 cup of virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon of aloe vera juice/gel

and whip it!
