Actually, one of my goals this year was to overcome my fear of heat.

It's been 3 weeks since I installed my Havana Twists . If you had told me 3 weeks ago that I would keep them this long, I would say... NO! The last time I installed these types of twists was about 2 years ago and I only lasted 2 weeks. Click here to watch . One thing I did differently this time was prepare the right type of moisturizing spray to keep my hair hydrated at all time. My spray consisted of 7 ounce water, 1 tsp of glycerin, my oil blend, 5 drops of tea tree oil and 1 capsule (emptied) MSM capsule 1000mg (sulfur). Regarding the MSM and hair (Source Long Hair Care Forum ) : Sulfur speeds up the length of your hair growth cycle, by extending the anagen phase. When the anagen phase is sped up, so are the other phases, which makes your hair seem to shed faster than it would normally. The sulfur is allowing that follicle to return to the active growth stage. About 10-15% of your hair is in the telogen or shedding phase at an given time. Your hair won't th...

According to NaturallyCurly.com :   [Low Porosity] Hair described as having low porosity is characterized by a very tightly bound cuticle layer, where the individual cuticle scales lie flat and overlap one another. Low porosity hair is often quite shiny, especially if it is a darker color. Overall this type of hair is considered to be quite healthy. If your hair repels water when you attempt to wet it, that is a good indication that it has low porosity. It can be quite difficult to process, because it resists penetration of the chemicals being used. Here are things you can incorporate into your low porosity hair regimen: Warm Water Rinse Instead of doing a cool water rinse to close your cuticle after cleansing your hair, do a warm water rinse. Because with low porosity hair, your cuticle scales lie flat, you need to keep them open so that you can properly moisturize them. Damp or Dry Moisturizing Do not moisturize your hair when soaking wet. This is because the mo...

Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor      Since going natural, my #1 go-to protein treatment has been Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner. This has worked well for the girls and I, however, I always wondered what the hype was all about the Aphogee Protein Treatments. Instead of taking a huge plunge into the world of heavy-duty protein treatments, like the Aphogee Two-Step Protein Treatment, I decided to try the lighter version, Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor. WITHOUT READING THE INGREDIENT LIST.... I got the largest bottle, because you all know, we have a ton of hair in da house... minus THE MAN of course! It was not until after I had used it that I noticed the ingredient list was different from what was posted on Sally's Beauty online or in numerous natural hair blogs. Unlike Aubrey Organics GPB which is all natural, this one had a lot of ingredients that I could not pronounce. The main one that stuck out to me     was the fifth...

Every week, I get asked by many people who want to stop relaxing their hair, " How Do I Go Natural". After answering numerous messages, I decided to share just how and also some things that you might not know about natural hair.

It was Spring Break, and it was raining outside... what do you do...? well, you let the kids have a "salon day" at the DiscoveringNatural Salon. Big Sis started by washing her hair with SheaMoisture SuperFruit Complex 10 in 1 Renewal System Shampoo . Since we follow a protein-moisture balance regimen, after rinsing the shampoo, she did a 2 mins protein treatment with Aubrey Organic GPB conditioner . After that, she did a deep conditioner moisture rich treatment using SheaMoisture SuperFruit Complex 10 in 1 Renewal System Hair Masque . For post wash, I helped moisturize her scalp with my oil mix and working in sections, applied SheaMoisture Curl and Style Milk and twisted her hair into about 10 chunky twists. We left it in until slightly damp. To style the magnetic rollers , I sectioned her hair into 3 sections. It took about 45 minutes to complete the install. I'm still working on learning how to install these properly. We used the Coils and Glory Wh...
