Struggling with High and Low Porosity Natural Hair

Image
This morning, I had a conversation with one of my curl friends on Facebook about her struggle with her Low Porosity hair. I had to share my section of the conversation, maybe it will help someone else. Struggling with FINDING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS With finding the right product, it is not an immediate thing. Sometimes you can find what works for you, just like that.... fast.. and sometimes it is a learning process, For example, with Lil Sis who is High Porosity, I just recently found a moisturizer that works EXCELLENTLY for her. Each time I touch her hair, I am like WOW. I have not moisturized her hair in a week and still shocked. LOL. She has been natural all her 8 years,   For your low porosity hair, I would suggest looking for products that contain ingredients that make hair more porous. For example with high porosity, Apple Cider vinegar helps with the moisture locking in process   So Lil Sis's magic moisturizer and shampoo and other products she uses conta

My SUPER EASY Facial Night Routine

Image
Having a night routine is very important to me because as I sleep, I can rejuvenate my skin. Your skin is the foundation of your appearance. I am not an avid makeup wearer, and I feel that this has helped in the health of my facial skin.  I start off my night routine by using Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to remove any makeup ( if I am wearing any ). To do this, I take a tablespoon of the coconut oil and massage into my face. Then I take a few drops of my facial cleanser , Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash and massage it over the coconut oil. I then rinse off with warm water and pat dry. After this, I use Witch Hazel to remove any left over makeup and tone my skin. I make a mixture of Vitamin E oil and True Moringa Simplicity Pure Moringa Oil .   I put a little bit of the Moringa Oil underneath my eye and also on any wrinkles I see.  That is about it. Moringa oil has a lot of benefits. If you would love to try it out, visit True Moringa and use the
