I love how this style gives my hair great stretch. This braid and twist style is simple and helps your root have the much needed stretch your hair needs.

I had the opportunity to be a chaperone for Big Sis's 3rd grade class at the Children's Museum in Houston Texas. Hope you enjoy our journey

This style can be done for kids and adults alike. It's quite simple and helps in protecting the ends of the hair.

The scalp is the most important part of one's healthy hair growth. If your scalp is clogged up with dirt and build up, it can affect the growth of your hair. Keeping your scalp cleaned is crucial. A scalp exfoliating scrub can help remove any buildup or dead skin on the scalp. It also promotes blood circulation to the hair follicle, thereby increasing your natural hair growth. This is one why to grow natural hair fast. This video provides you with a DIY Scalp Scrub for Exfoliating and promoting healthy scalp; the bed of good natural hair growth.

You know how you go to natural hair events and get satchets of products samples? Well, last year, I got some Jessicurl products and since I was in a Wash and Go mode, I decided to try them out. So, this is sort of a First Impression...Would I buy the full bottle kind of Product Review . First, I started by washing my scalp and hair with the Hair Cleansing Cream Photo source: Jessicurl.com  While applying this product to my hair, my hair lathered a little bit. This product is not really a huge lathering kind of product. My scalp felt cleansed but my hair had a squeaky cleaning feeling. I did not like it. I also felt as if my coils started to have a party with each other and tangle up. It did pop out the coils though. o_O Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Decyl Polyglucose, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Vegetable Glycerin, Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetearyl Alcohol, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, C 12-15 ...

When I am not using my DIY Protein Treatment , I use the Aubrey Organics Balancing Protein Conditioner GPB .  I love this product.  Unfortunately, I ran out of it, and the place I get it from no longer carried it. Well, no better time for a road trip with the girls than today, Mother's day. LOL! We went to the Vitamin Shoppe across town, and lo and behold,  the bottle has changed. New bottle                              Old bottle             I spent over 10 minutes reading and comparing the ingredients of each bottle.

    Today is Day 5 of my "first time" Flexirod set on my natural hair. I can now say, I have made it with my hair out for 5 days, which is so rare for me. However, before I start talking about day 5, let's do a recap on Day 4. Sorry I did not post about it, Wednesdays are my busiest days.   Yesterday, I pretty much did the same thing that I did on Day 3 . I shared this on my Facebook page, DiscoveringNatural.   Day 4 Flexirods on Natural Hair I was quite surprised that I got several compliments on my hair. It had about lost 80% of the curls generated by the flexirods.   Today, Day 5, this is what it looks like. Yes, and I am washing my hair today!! Ahhhh... I love Wash Days !!     Pictorial Recap from Day 1 to Day 5 Click the days below to see what happened on each day Day 1     |    Day 2     |   Day 3      Day 5   What I have learnt ...

Freshly Washed Hair There are several ways to wash your child's natural hair. The way you choose depends on the child and their ability to go through the process without being afraid and without tears. Sink Wash This method is best for a child that is afraid of getting water in their face. It provides great support and comfort to the child. All you have to do is lay the child on the counter and let their head droop into the sink area. Make sure to support the neck with a rolled up towel. Bathtub Head to Ceiling Wash This is one of the most famous way of washing children's hair. With this method, the child is sitting in the bathtub with their head tilted to the ceiling. This method keeps the water away from the child's face. Head Leaning Forward This technique can be done either in the bathtub or in the sink. This method is suggested for older children that do not have fear of letting water touch their face. With the sink method, the child stands on a...

Ah...Day 3 of this flexirod style... hmmmm Night Routine Still the same thing as I did for Day 2 . After washing my face at night, I put a bit of water on my finger tips and then some castor oil on my finger tips, then applied to my edges. I do this because castor oil can be quite thick and lubricating it first with some water helps thin it out a little. Then I covered my hair with my satin bonnet. In the morning, my hair looked like the picture above. I had to go to the gym, so I just added a headband to make it look more presentable.  Post workout Post workout Maintenance  I spritz my edges and nape with my DIY moisturizing spritz . Lightly spritz my hair and pat in the moisture. Applied my oil mix to my edges and nape and then my Gaisie Shea Styling Smoothie to lock and seal the moisture. Results I decided to do a front high puff with the curls falling towards my forehead. The curls from the flexirods are still there, but the FRIZZ monster is starting to...

Day 2 ( Click here for Day 1 ) Last night, I was unsure of my night routine with the flexirod set. I decided to just cover my hair with my bonnet and cross my fingers for unsmooched curls in the morning. Ah! Who am I kidding!!! My hair was SMOOCHED!! I went to the gym, after pinning up the sides to keep sweat from making them even more frizzy than they already were. Remember, the roots were not as smooth, so I wasn't too concerned with those puffing up. Oh Well!! By the way, got a cool tip from one of my readers, SuperTee,   to twist the roots. I will be doing this in the future. After working out for an hour, I decided to separate the curls even more to create this.... I like it!! To keep it from looking too boring, I added this DIY hair pin. It was actually an earring that broke... which I glued a bobby pin to. How do you maintain your Flexirod set?
