DiscoveringNatural

I have been co-washing for a while now, since I was about 6 months transitioning. Since then, I have notice changes in the way my curls clump together. I recently started to use a product specifically designed for Co-washing; the Edens Bodyworks Cleansing Cowash.  This product, I love!! It cleans m hair. The only downside is that it comes in a jar. I plan on pouring the product in a bottle. When I first transitioned, here is how my hair looked like: This is the Bottom-left side November 2012: April 2013: July 2013: What are your thoughts? Does co-washing enhance your curls?

Mini twists are great protective styles for natural hair. However, mine always gets frizz so quickly. Here is how I wash my mini twists and also style it to give it life!!

Yes, I colored my hair and LOVE it!! Want to know how I did it? Watch the video below:

 I rarely do braid outs. Why??? Well, it takes a long time to put in the braids and also longer to take it out. I also find that my hair tangles when I am unbraiding. I'm not also a fan of the look. However, I attempted to give it another try, but this time, do chunky braids. I loved the results. This style however lasted me a whole day. HUMIDITY took over and at the end of the day, I had a big fluffy 'fro. I think next time, I will add some gel when doing the braids.

There are so many challenges out there, when it comes to Natural Hair.  I love doing challenges. There are some that I would not do because they are just weird , however, there are others that seem more beneficial. Why should you join a natural hair challenge? Well, it's FUN for one. Another reason is that you get so much motivation when you accomplish the task of completing the challenge. A few months ago, I did the " Use it  Up " challenge; to use up all my hair products and not buy any new products for a month. I can tell you that I saved a lot of money in the process, and even till now, 3 months later, the urge of buying products have really reduced. How can I join a challenge? There are different places you can find challenges to join Natural Hair YouTube Channels Natural Hair Facebook page ( Kinky Curly Coily Me ! does a Castor Oil challenge) Natural Hair Forum ( CurlyNikki has a forum dedicated to challenges) Have you ever joined a Natural Hair...

How do you relate with your natural hair?  Understanding your natural hair can be a challenge at times, however, the way you handle those challenges can determine the type of relationship you will have with your natural hair. Do you accept it when it is being unruly or do you throw in the towel ?

This was my first time installing yarn twists on Big Sis's hair. I loved the experience. We used Red Heart Yarn (about 1/2 of the pack). If I did the twists without the cornrows, I would have used more.    I started by first braiding the hair about 5 times  Then twisted          I decided not to burn the ends, but instead tie it a knot and cut off the excess.  The entire process took 2 and a half hours. The only issue I got was my yarn thread not being equal. Still have more learning to do. If you want the ends of the yarn to be curly, watch this video below:
