CURL PATTERN

HOLA MY NATURLISTAS ,

Just wanted to check in and do a progress report for my 30 DAY NO HEAT CHALLENGE

I always wondered how the back of my MANE look after a long day of ripping and running the streets. I was pleasenly suprised to see so much definition after a long day. This picture gives me the motivation to keep going with 30 day no heat challenge. I cant wait to CHECK IN AT THE 15 DAY MARK!

Wash & Go Time Y'all!

With all the heat and commotion the Summer brings wash and go's are definitely in season!  So this morning I simply conditioned and rinsed my hair and added a leave in.  I didn't towel dry or t shirt dry my hair I let it air dry.  This leave in by curls unleashed smells great it calmed some frizz and it's made especially for curly girls like us.  I did use some shea whip around my edges and what not, you know we have to baby them! This is my hair dry the heat helped it dry a lot quicker.  Check out that shrinkage ;-)

NO HEAT CHALLENGE

Hey guys!!!!

I'm excited to informed everyone that I will be embarking on a 30 DAY  NO HEAT CHALLENGE!!! The reason I decided to embark on this journey because of the noticeable damage to my edges and curl pattern. My edges became came rough and fried while my curl pattern was all over the place. I noticed after washing my hair I would have tight curls throughout the back and loose or even straight pieces in the front of my hair. Therefore I willing to commit to this challenge to restore my edges and curl pattern.

Wish me Luck guys !!!

What's your hairs Condition?!

I've started using this product in conjuction to my water only washes I leave this in my hair while I wash up and then rinse.  I still use leave ins, but extra conditioner never hurt nobody! (Unless there are too many unhealthy ingredients )

I love the smell it is divine! I've noticed a difference in moisture and frizz after use... i must say I have loved any product I've tried from 3 sisters of nature, this is the sweet honey rose treatment and I highly recommend... what's your fav condish?

Protein Anyone?

So after enduring cold months of dry, brittle hair,  I did a strand test and found that my hair needed more protein.

         *Strand test: pull a hair strend with your hands to see how              much elasticity it has. If it breaks easily/resistant to spring.            back, then chances are your hair needs more protein.

Usually, I would mix up some Greek yogurt, egg, honey, coconut milk & avocado oil but I ventured out and tried an OTC product...ORS (formerly Organic Roots Stimulator) Hair Mayonnaise. I chose this because its a deep conditioner & protein treatment combined.

While it is enriched with olive oil, egg protein, herbs & wheat germ oil; it is NOT an all natural product...by far. It contains alcohol, cones & bunch of other chemicals...like a bunch:( but the results were absolutely amazing!! My hair is much more manageable, shiny, super soft and my curls popped & sprang back to life.

The process was simple(the usual):
          Washed
          Detangled & Sectioned hair
          Applied product
          Covered w/cap (directions say 15mins) but I did overnight
          Detangled (again...smh@my kinks)
          Rinsed
          Styled: not so mini mini-twists

Unfortunately I ran outta time for pics. As my hair grows... bra strap length...wash times are about 5 hrs now....patience is a virtue I suppose.

Overall: loved the results...not the ingredients. Not 100% sure if will use again. I will continue to research more natural options to repeat in another month or two.

Hope this is helpful.
