Wash Day Braid It Up (April 2nd)



It's that time again! Wash day! Have I ever told y'all that I LOVE WASH DAY?

Well, I do!

With the thought of starting the month off with clean hair...I decided to do a Bentonite Clay treatment to cleanse my hair. After doing the treatment, I co-washed my hair with Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Invigorating Conditioner.  I deep conditioned my hair for an hour with Giovanni Smooth As Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner.

After DC, I cool and seal and then rinsed my hair with Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp Conditioner.
I had lots of shrinkage!



But my curls were putting!! LOL!
I moisturized my hair with my leave-in conditioner, Giovanni Direct Leave In, and then did a oil massage. I was not sure how to style my hair, but I wanted it well moisturized, so I decided to use Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie, Eco Styler Gel Argan Oil, and then seal my ends with Whipped Shea Butter.

Then I did chunky braids pinups.
Well... I did not like how they looked, so I decided to just do smaller braids and twist the ends.


That's it, folks!

The Real Reason Why RazorEmpress Cut Off Her Butt-length Natural Hair

  Razorempress , a content creator known for her natural hair journey, recently cut her long natural hair into a short pixie style.

In the video, she shares that she felt it was time for a change and wanted to experience the freedom and versatility that comes with shorter hair. She also mentions the desire to start fresh and embrace a new chapter in her hair journey. As someone with multiple jobs and a job as a mobile personal trainer she was always sweating and hairstyles did not last for her.

How Does Perimenopause Affect Your Natural Hair?

Image
Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, can significantly affect your hair due to hormonal fluctuations. Here are the key ways it can impact your hair: 1. Hair Thinning and Hair Loss  • Estrogen Decline: Estrogen helps maintain hair growth and health. As estrogen levels drop during perimenopause, hair may become thinner and more prone to shedding.  • Increased Androgens: A relative increase in androgens (male hormones) can lead to hair thinning, particularly along the crown and temples (similar to male-pattern hair loss). 2. Dryness and Brittleness  • Hormonal changes can reduce the natural oils that keep hair moisturized, leading to dry, brittle strands.  • This can result in more breakage and difficulty managing hair. 3. Changes in Hair Texture  • Some women notice changes in their hair texture, such as becoming coarser, curlier, or straighter than before. 4. Slower Hair Growth  • The hair growth cycle slows down with age, and hormo...
