Head Wraps Use this promo code for free/discount shipping and discounts on beautiful headwraps! http://bit.ly/1bG3S3A        I had seen this company advertised several times on Facebook and took a look and then forgotten to further investigate or see what the company had to offer. I saw a young lady (Daneja) from a former church congregation wearing one and thought it looked quite well on her.  I always loved the look of a head wrap but just could not get the hang of doing so! These head wraps are being sold for $18.00 each and she has a fairly large selection to choose from.   The scarves comes in a few type of weaves.  One type is called an open weave.  The scarves are described to be weaved so that they will grip even fine hair which allows the scarf to not fall are loosen while wearing.  A big plus when trying to wear a head scarf all day without having to keep adjusting throughout the day.   ...

Curlier and wavier naturals will tend to experience much more shrinkage due to their curl pattern. I have 3c/4 textured hair. The front and top have a looser curl pattern.  My usual regiment for my wash n' go is to wash (or co-wash), condition, leave-in, and then apply the gel or styling agent of choice. The shrinkage is about 75%! Picture By:  longhairdontcare.com As seen by this picture, hair in it's curly state, reaches comfortably at the top of her shoulder. However, when the truth is shown, look at the blown out and straighten side that screams out luxurious length. Her tresses, in length, is almost DOUBLE her natural curly state! Naturals around the globe can easily testify as to being astonished at the...

Grey Crystal Glass Headband https://www.etsy.com/listing/185127846/dark-grey-crystal-headband?ref=shop_home_feat_1 I realized that some products work at certain hair lengths for me and some simply don't work in certain whether conditions.  This makes having great hair days a manipulation act.  One that no matter how often practice can slip into a hot mess if the wrong combination of products are used.  It's like perfecting one's steps to a favorite song.

I noticed that there was a lot an awful lot of commotion between the aisle that I was in and the next aisle that housed the hair coloring products. I then heard one of the workers saying to the other that they were moving the natural hair/ethnic aisle where the hair coloring items were.  The manager stated that they needed to make room for the natural hair products because that was what "people" were coming to Target to purchase! Hhhmmm!  I said to myself!  We, naturals, are making a profound impact in the hair product industry!  At Target's you c...

Products that worked "well" on your TWA (Tweeny, Weeny, Afro) will not work as effectively on your longer tresses!  We will often find ourselves "revisiting" products that worked in the beginning of our natural hair journey and didn't work in the middle of the journey, now seems to bring life to your shoulder length hair. A basic routine that I'm finding to work for me is the Liquid, Oil, and Cream (LOC) system.  First applying your liquid, which can be as simple -- for most of us -- as water!  Choose your favorite oil (jojoba, coconut, olive or...
