Bad Hair Day

Ugh! Today has not been a good natural hair day, it actually been quiet the opposite. Ever since I've been able to do my high puffs its been a go to style for me because its fast & easy. Well today I did my puff &,it came out HORRIBLE! My hair is dry, crunchy, corse, brittle, dull. I spritz it with a mixture of oil, water, leave-in to add moisture this morning but it seems like that did more harm than good. Although today has been rough I still love my natural hair.

What are some of you natural hair disasters?

Natural Hair Crush



I'm crushing hard and its on Teyanna Taylor's hair, I remember seeing her on Sweet Sixteen and thinking wow I LOVE her hair. Her hair is so beautiful and when I'm feeling down about my short kinky, coily fro I think about a few years from now my hair can maybe, possibly,hopefully look like Teyanna Taylor's.

How to Bargain Shop for Natural Hair Products.

Okay, I posted awhile back on how expensive natural hair products can be, so I wanted to do a follow up on how to bargain shop and you may even find some of those expensive products for half the price.
I was watching a YouTube tutorial (can't remember whose) and she had kinky coily hair and she used the Jane Carter Solution Curl Defining Cream, her hair look gorgeous.

Natural Hair Frustrations

I remember when I first BC'd and I felt utter regret, I was unhappy with my short fro I missed my long relaxed hair so bad.  I expected too much, I decided to go natural to grow stronger and healthier hair but I always expected my hair to be curly, soft and manageable. I got the complete opposite my hair was coarse, thick, and rough, I became so depressed and my self esteem lowered.

Natural Hair on a Budget


Lets be honest being natural can be a wallet buster, I remember when I first BC'd I spent so much money on these expensive natural hair product brands that quiet frankly did nothing for my kinks.
Now that I have gotten a hang of what works for my hair I came to the realization that the products I'm using now are 10x better than those expensive brands. below are list of amazing natural hair products for much better price.

It doesn't matter what your hair type is, natural hair tends to be dry. I myself struggle with keeping my hair moisturized and with summer approaching fast I decided to go on a quest and find the hair moisturizers (my opinion).

Hair Type!


Whats your hair type?
All hair is different so knowing or having an idea of what your type is really important when going natural. My hair type is 4b-4c, at the beginning
of my natural hair journey I didn't know my hair type so I wasted  alot of money on products that were not meant for my texture.

So You Wanna Go Natural Huh?


Lately it seems like everyone wants to go natural, not that I don't think its great that African American women want to celebrate their kinks, curls, and coils. I'm just afraid that
some people are doing it for all the wrong reasons. How can deciding to go natural be wrong?
