Another snow day!!

Gotta love working for schools, half day today due to the snow, 2:30 and I was outtie. Yes we got out early for snow, something we don't usually get here in Memphis but like when we do. 

 I promise it is snowing, just can't tell on the picture.

My little Princess does not like the snow.

She is so girly.

Snow pictures from last week.

Yes, she threw that at me.

Can't go play in my hair so think I will go find something to make.

Enjoy your day!!!!!!!

Back to Straight

On my last post I said I was going to do a protective style but goodness gracious, I was loving straight hair and had to go back. But first here is a henna pic, the Karishma henna is gggreat (in my Tony the Tiger voice), I can't wait to do another.  Oh, and I must say my hair had no problems reverting back to curly :)  I flat ironed the same way as in my video here.

$1.99 at local Indian Store

 Henna bout to be rinsed...

 hair after rinsing...

 I wish you could see the red highlights 

from the Henna, very subtle but 

turned out exactly right.

Super shiny too.

Lovin my hair and the versatility.  I wore my hair straight for the last three weeks, this time I may just do two but if by the end of  the second week my hair is still looking good I will go one more and then do another henna,  or maybe just an Amla treatment, bout the same as Henna but just won't give me any more color cause I like where it is now.

What a hair raising weekend,  my hair was washed and Henna'd and it is feeling great.  I ended up buying Karishma brand Herbal Henna and loved  it better than the henna itself.  It already contains Amla but I still bought a box and added half to the Henna.  I also added some Cholesterol conditioner with Shea Butter.  Can you say AMAZING!  She felt super fresh.  NO pics yet though, I wore my hair in a twist n curl for church yesterday...since I am off today I am trying to figure out what I want to do, flat iron or just do a quick protective style.  Hmmmm...I was so loving my straigh hair and my hubby surely was, lol, but I was missing my hair just a little but.  Ok, so I think I made up my mind let's get started on a protective style

Wash Day

Wash day, hallelujer.  I made it three weeks with straight hair and believe me it wasn't easy cause I was definitely tempted to wash it last week especially when I had two extra days off due to snow.  Just getting back from Zumba, and I am still walking around with my pre poo mixture in my hair that I got from Chicoro, aloe vera juice, castor oil, jojoba oil, and coconut oil, got a nice deep oil treatment in my workout today, feeling the tightness in my abs.

My hair is loving mixture, not the first time using this recipe, after applying to my hair she immediately started responding to the moisture like crazy, the curls were popping all over the place.

On today's agenda:  about to hit my local India Mart to get some Henna and Amla, I am going to do a mix of the two and some other things for a good ol' gloss that I have not done in a while

This is going to be great!!

Holla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Whew, what a long Winter vacation.  Finally went back to work on this past Tuesday after spending two weeks home with the fam, now we are sitting here watching the snow come down which means we will probably be home again on tomorrow, sad face.
On a hair note, my hiar is still straight, yep made it another week  but I am admitting that I re-flatironed on last Monday so I could have fresh hair for the first week.  I will go one more week straight but with no added heat, just bunning it, I am keeping it very moisturized with my shea butter oil mixture though.  I also bought some flexirods with is wayyy better than the magnetic rods, I don't know why I hadn't bought them before now.
I also got some new hair products from Bee Mine for my girls hair and I must say I really like so far, but goodness gracious it takes a long time for the products to be delivered, I finally got my sample sizes about 10 days after placing the order. 
What I bought: Botanical Moisturizing Shampoo- smells amazing, I sniff it every time I open the bottle, it    reminds me of my Hazelnut coffee creamer.
                       Avocado Cream Balancing Conditioner-best over on my 5 yr olds hair, after shampooing and then DCing with it, her hair was left so soft.  I ordered some more of that.
                       Bee Loved Hair and Scalp Moisturizer- now this one is tricky, because I did not like the scent, Island Mango, I mixed it with my shea butter oil to tone down the smell some.  Not my favorite scent.
                       Bee Hold Curly Butter-Good product too, I did my daughters hair in a twisted mohawk using this and it was great, can't wait to try on a twist out this spring/summer.
Waiting to arrive: Luscious Balancing Cream Moisturizer
                           Strawberry Kiwi Serum
 I will surely let you know how those work out.
