Oil Rinsing

Your Hair is Extremely Dry?: An Oil Rinse May Be Your Answer! An oil rinse has similar results to doing an a hot oil treatment.  To do a successful oil rinse, it is suggested that you do so in the shower.  However, it can be successfully done over a sink or a large bowl of water.  What is great about this technique is that it can be done throughout all seasons. 1. What is oil rinsing? Oil rinsing is a technique that involves adding a liquefied oil or hair butter to your tresses. The oil or butter is then allowed to sit/absorb in your strands, with or without heat for anywhere from five to 20 minutes. After you have waited for the desired amount of time, the oil is then rinsed out of the hair. Some people will follow the rinsing of the oil with a co-wash product or conditioner. However, you can skip this step and simply blot your hair and proceed to style. 2. Is Pre-pooing and Oil Rinsing the Same Thing? Pre-pooing is usually done before you either sham...

Natural Hair  Summer Tips MOISTURIZE YOUR TRESSES TO WEATHER THE SUMMER RAYS When it comes to hair, I really can’t emphasis the importance of moisturizing enough.  Your moisturizing routine or  lack thereof  can literally make or break your hair. Your hair needs moisture!!! And water equals moisture. In the past, we have been taught that water makes our hair dry and brittle. Now we know, that is so false. Your hair needs water.

You should spritz and seal you hair faithfully every night, this will help you keep more of your strands on your head. Carrying a spray bottle of your favorite spritzer concoction with you when you leave the house is a good idea!  This will enable you to moisturizer your tresses after you have come out of extreme weather and win...

Natural Hair Combs for Your Natural

Image
I'm always looking for ways to accent my natural hair and while looking on the internet I came across a company that makes natural hair combs. The company is named Artist Tree and their website is:  http://www.artistreewoodart.com/wood-gifts.html.   They create gifts out of wood, from shoehorns to wooden vases.  On this occasion my interest was concentrated on the hair comb selections.  Here are a few: The artist writes about his combs: Most wooden combs on the market today are cranked out in overseas factories. They are manufactured in huge lots using porous nondescript woods. by contrast, I sculpt each of my combs, painstakingly, one at a time, in my island workshop using only the finest hardwoods. Once a comb has been cut and shaped to my satisfaction, I sand it until each tooth is utterly smooth. My handcrafted hardwood combs will never snag your hair as factory made ones can, and, unlike plastic combs, they will never cause your hair to crackle...

Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Grow & Restore Leave-In Conditioner

Image
I received this product in my May's Curl Kit box.  This is one of the best products I've received in my two-year subscription with them. Hair Type:              All Hair Types, Coarse Used For:               Repairing, Softening, Detangling, Strengthening Product Form:      Cream Health Facts:         Paraben-Free, Sulfate-Free, Phthalate-Free Product Style:       Leave-in conditioner Let me preface this with, first and foremost, I am NOT an avid fan of Shea Moisture products.  My 3c/4 tresses just didn't seem to care for their products.  However, I do repurchase the Shea Moisture Souffle. I simply love the way this product smells on my hair.  It is a lotion-like product and goes on smoothly and you do not need to apply a lot. I use the product on wet or damp hair.  The shine is off the charts and t...

Sometimes we can find ourselves tiring of our natural hair journey.  This is a second installment of my "Hair Inspiration."  I have scoured the virtual world to share with you some inspiration.  Long, short, wavy, coily, kinky and nappy, natural hair expresses the soul of the woman who it adorns. I Natural Hair: Afro-textured  hair  is a term used to refer to the  natural hair  texture of certain populations in Africa, the African diaspora and Asia, when this  hair  has not been altered by hot combs, flat irons, or chemicals (through perming, relaxing, or straightening). In many post-Columbian, Western societies, adjectives such as "wooly", "kinky", "nappy", or "spiralled" have frequently been used to describe natural afro-textured hair. More recently, however, it has become common in some circles to apply numerical grading systems to human hair types. There are also natural haircare products used today for natural hair, su...
