Why is it that on your wash day, that is when your hair looks the best? Like well marinated chicken!! Actually, tomorrow is wash day, but I decided to do it today because I need to do Big Sis's hair tomorrow. Lately, I have been washing the girls' hair every 2 weeks. However, if during that time, I need to cleanse their hair, I will co-wash. I went to hang out with some friends today, and of course ... as usual, I got great compliments on my hair. When I told my friends that I was going home to wash it, OMG! They tried talk me out of it. LOL! You know me, I need NEED NEED to wash my hair weekly. I tried the 2 -weeks wash day and my scalp was like, No Bueno! Now that I have washed my hair with Naturalicious Rhassoul Clay 5-in-1 treatment , my scalp feels great and my hair is so soft and conditioned. I love this product!!

What is your Favorite Natural Hair Hairstyle?

Image
I love Natural hair. Yes! I do. The beauty of natural hair cannot be contained in a box. When you ask naturals why they love their hair, one of the reasons they would say is, " It is very versatile ". The styles that you can create with natural hair is so much and every day, I discover new styles and different techniques to achieve them. Can I ever be bored with my natural hair? Some people do get bored, but there are so many resources such as Pinterest , Instagram , and even Google that provide styles to spice up your hair. Recently, I discovered that I could do just 7 twists and achieve a lovely chunky twist out. I am always amazed by these kinds of discovery. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52ND9Wdcekc ) What is your favorite natural hair style? What new things are you discovering about your hair?

When I think of Spring, I think of flowers, and everything beautiful and also the newness of life!   However, this week has been quite strange.

Why I pH test my Products

Image
  Two months ago, I went in search for the Giovanni 50:50 clarifying Shampoo and could not find it. When I saw the 1 liter bottle of the Giovanni Tea Tree Invigorating Shampoo , I was like JACKPOT! Maybe I can just use this and it will work as great as the clarifying shampoo. Was I wrong!! I did not pH test it to see if it was in the best pH range that it will not affect the girls' hair. After using this product, their hair was stripped, it took 2 deep conditioning sessions to get the moisture back into their hair. What happened? I looked at the ingredient list for sulfates and did not see any.     Then it occurred to me to pH test it.    pH 101   Anything between 0 and 6.9 is acidic, 7 is neutral, and anything between 7.1 and 14 is alkaline. Human hair and scalp oil, sebum, has a pH balance of between 4.5 and 5.5. A substance that is too alkaline will cause the hair cuticle to open, while a substance that is too acidic will cause the cuticle to contract.
