Product Review!

Hey everyone!

Check out my product review for Profectiv Mega Growth deep conditioner that I purchased at my neighborhood CVS Pharmacy. I graded it and gave a little run down on all the things I liked and disliked about the product. Remember I purchase these items myself and have no affiliation with the manufacturers so my reviews are true and solely my opinion! Please comment if you have tried this product before or let me know how it works for you after your first use. Have a great hair day!!! <3

Charlamazing!!!



So I have gotten a RIDICULOUS amount of compliments on my hair, like to the point where I'm like mumbling "thank you" as I rush past to avoid an onslaught of questions about it. Well it was done by one of my closest friends Charlemagne of www.charlamazing.weebly.com. She is just that... amazing! Along with styling natural hair for the low, she also is blogging about her journey as well. Definitely stop by her site and check her out for some style inspiration and if your in Atlanta definitely make an appointment and let her know that you was referred to her by me! I love supporting our sisters that step out of the box and put their God given talents to work! You go Charlemagne!!!

Uncertain

 

 

I have been really going back and forth on what to do next with my hair! I am at a point now where it is healthy, I have a regimen, and I am happy, but I have an adventurous soul and playing it safe is not exciting. So what now? I really want to color my hair again but I am growing it out to donate to locks of love next year and I don't want to cause any unneeded damage and shell out all that money for a professional to do it. I want to experiment with Senegalese twists or box braids, something funky, but the long process of sitting and either doing it myself or paying someone to do it is keeping me from diving in and just doing it. Basically, I'm cheap. And I don't like a lot of people all in my crown of glory. I know some sacrifices will need t be made if I really want to do these things but how to come to that decision? I don't know... Let's talk about it.

Protective Styling and the great debate

So the opinion of protective styling is forever changing in the natural hair community. Some swear by it to retain length and moisture. By the use of weaves, braids, and twists no manipulation is done to the hair and therefore the hair is able to retain length and reduces breakage... if done right. On the other hand, some argue that protective styling it less stylish and is often looked down upon in a professional setting.

I personally love to wear my hair out in all of its glory, but I am definitely a fan of protective hair styling during the fall and winter months. One, because as the weather gets colder, my motivation to be cute declines and I can truely get lazy when it comes to caring for my hair. Secondly, I have made is a full year without using heat on my hair (blow dryer, flat iron) and my hair has been thriving, so I don't want to end up with pneumonia air drying my hair in the colder months. Third and most importantly, I know my hair and in the colder months it becomes dry and brittle. To combat that twists and braids help keep my strands protected and I dont have to manipulate brittle hair.

Some people have the exact opposite effects, hair retains moisture in the winter but gets extrememly dry during the spring and summer when its subjected to heat and direct sunlight. How abut your hair? Do you rock it out all the time or are you a protective style pro? Let's talk about it!
