Winterizing Those Tresses

The strong winds of winter can wreak havoc on your moisture-needing tresses!  Brittle and limp curls is not a sassy look or Hair of the Day coif!  This is the time when many naturals close the book on their time-saving wash n' gos.  However, for me, this is my main style and closing that book is not so easy to do on these 3b/c/4 curls. My curls love, love glycerin and from natural blogs across the nation, we are admonished to abandon the glycerin because it pulls moisture from the atmosphere which will keep your locks moist but in the winter season it does quite the opposite. So what's a natural wash n' go girl to do?  Here are a few tips: At night section hair and lightly moisten hair with water and coconut oil (you can use olive oil, or oil of your choice) apply mixture to hair, twist, cover hair with a clear shower cap, and tie a scarf over cap (optional) and go to bed. When rising in the morning, hair will be slightly moist, style and go about your morn...

This Gelo is being marketed as a hair gel.  Not only a hair gel but one comparable to the infamous Kinky Curly Curling Custard!  Now, that's saying a lot!  I found this product on the shelf while I was perusing the aisle of my neighborhood Beauty Supply Store!  I did have a good reason to be in there.  I was waiting for the Chinese restuarant, a couple doors down, to cook my broccoli and garlic sauce!  Okay!? Well, I read the label and saw that it claimed to be comparable to Kinky Curly Curling Custard boast, I just simply decided to try it.  What's another gel on the shelf going to harm?  The price seemed fixed at $9.99, this was clearly printed on the product's label!  Yea, for 3 Sisters of Nature! Below is the description of their product by 3 Sisters of Nature: III Sisters of Nature Curling Gelo Description -- 8 ounces What is Curling Gelo?

   Cold Water Hair Rinses Who doesn't like a hot bath?!  Feels good to the body; however, it can frizz out,the strands of hair on your head.  Hot water leaves the cuticles of your strands open, while cold water closes them.     This allows the cuticle to close in the moisture that our hair so badly needs.  This also allows the hair to be more reflective and smooth to the touch.   You should rinse out your conditioner with cold water and not hot.  However, if the cold water rinse doesn't given you warm thoughts, I suggest that when it is time to wash out your conditioner that you "cool" down the water to your best tolerance.  Now, I usually will gradually cool the water down until it gets "cold."   I continue to rinse out the conditioner and then quickly return the water to hot to warm up my body. The benefits of doing a cold rinse:  stimulates your scalp, creating stronger roots, will cause less shedd...
