I figured it out

Lately the right side of my head, my temple area, has been getting thin and I could not figure out for the life of me what the problem was. Until Saturday morning...I woke up and the problen came to me, I sleep on my right side always. Thats the reason my left side is filling in all wonderful and the right is not. So since Saturday night I have been trying to sleep on the left when I can, that means when I wake throughout the night I'm like "uh oh better turn over" that's getting on my nerves already. That was the first question my new beautician asked me, and I told her my right side is just my most favorite side and she said if I want my side to fill in I better try to lay on the left. Believe me I am trying, hopefully with her oil treatments once a month and me doing the Castor oil challenge we can get this thing on the road. At first I thought this natural thing was about to hit the fan, I was thinking uh my hair is shedding, it is not liking this natural thing but in actuality my hair is doing fine growing and getting thicker. I look forward to that one year mark in December, yes I am very patient cause I can't make it come any sooner, just enjoying what I have now.

You know what I am also looking forward to this summer, since it will be summer break and I won't have to go into work I get a chance to play around with some three strand twists in my hair and not have to worry about looking all professional, Yes I will try some protective hairstyles this summer even though I am not a big fan.


Also wanted to give a shout out to my Homegirl Kysha who now has about 2-3 inches of hair, yes she cut her hair off to start her natural journey, yes I have to admit I inspired her, me and her two natural sisters. Way to go Kysha!

Overwhelmed

This morning I went for a hair consultation at a natural hair care salon, I am getting overwhelmed with my hair and need a little assistance if you will. The stylist, Queen, was so nice she looked at my hair, which is healthy, and told me what she does. She specializes in Locs, Twists, Natural coils, and healthy hair. She has a style that she calls the funky fro that lasts for two to three weeks and all I have to do is sleep in a satin cap, nothing extra has to be done and that is definitely what I need. I made an appointment for next Saturday which will also include a peppermint, tea tree, eucalyptus, hot oil treatment, hmmm sounds interesting. I am excited if all goes well I will be seeing her every two, hopefully three, weeks. She said make sure I wash and detangle by the third week cause my so they do not start to loc. She also told me to make sure I detangle more often so my coils do not start to loc cause my hair type locs fast. I did thank her for that bit of info cause seriously I detangle about once every two weeks and I do not want locs, nothing against them just don't like them on myself. Toodles.

Product Review: Naat Intensive Mask



While walking around my local BSS I ran upon this Intensive Mask Hair Treatment for curly hair. I used it once on last Monday when I bought it and again this past Saturday as a deep conditioner when I washed again. You know what? I really like this product, it was fantastic! It also did a wonderful job on both my daughters hair, which makes it a plus product in my book. My hair was super soft and full of moisture all day, and after rinsing out of the girls hair I was able to run a large comb through it. I have been looking for a deep conditioning treatment and this is definintely going to be the one.

Product: Naat Treatment Curly Hair Intensive Mask; $5.99 at beauty supply store, $7.99 on line http://nunaat.com/.

Info: Intensive Mask with Keratinand Cupuacu Butter restores hair, it was specially developed to treat wavy, curly, and wavy curly hair.

Would I use again: Definitely! As soon as I fun out I will be buying this again and between me and my girls I am sure to run out quick. There is also shampoo, conditioner and a leave in that I would like to try too.

I give this product five stars

Castor Oil Challenge

What a day, I washed my hair, by the way it had not been washed all week and still soft and shiny, my regimen is working lovely, and it was wash day for my daughters hair as well. Talk about work. Today I have also been driving around Memphis looking for castor oil. I don't live in the hood, so t I had to go out driving around the old hood looking for this castor oil. Thanks to a fellow blogger ( Kinky Rhonnie) I found out about a Castor Oil Challenge that is taking place at Hairlista.com, check it out, I did a little research on the castor oils that she has on the site, I did find the HomeHealth one but no luck on any black castor oil :( I am a little nervous about the HomeHealth one, still checking that one out but if it turns out alright to use then I definitely know where to find it but I know I will not be able to find this Jamaican Black Castor Oil. This is Hairlista's second oil challenge and she seems to have had lots of positive feedback so I am going to give it a try this time.

Still Here

I am still here and still natural, just been super busy with work and school there is just not enough time in the day to do what needs to be done. Just like there is not time to for me to day what I need to say right now, but I will return in a few hours. Until then. . . .
