5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Went Natural

Just thought I’d share 5 tips for anyone who is new to natural hair or thinking about going natural.  Feel free to add your own. Xoxo

1.  Coconut oil is amazing, but it’s not a miracle worker..You still have to take care of your hair.

2. Just because someone’s hair looks the same as yours, that doesn’t mean that your hair will react well to the products they use.

3.  Don’t pay attention to what society says, all hair textures are beautiful.

4.  Hardly anyone believes in the phrase “dime sized amount” ..You’re not alone

5.  Enjoy each length you’re at, all lengths can be beautiful and stylish.

Turkey and Egypt were bombed just this week and the syrian government is literally committing genocide and nobody fucking gives a fuck I’m sorry but where are the hashtags? the facebook pictures? Why does nobody give a fuck about terrorism when non whites people are victims? if this was paris or bruxelles y'all will be talking about it for weeks, if this was the usa y'all will be talking about it for years. Honestly wtf why don’t you care about us? Why?

Sometimes I wonder whether I will ever reach my body goals, educational goals, career goals, financial goals, relationship goals, etc. But then I reflect on how far I’ve come and where I’m going in life… I’ve came a long way and even though I have a longer way to go, I’m proud of me.

This is the only oil I have ever used in my hair. 

I use this at night and when I deep condition my hair. 

Doesn’t really have a smell. 

It really penetrates my hair and the moisture lasts a few days. 

[How often I use: Every 2-3 days]

A typical wash day for me

I wash my hair at the end of every month, around the 28th or 29th. 

I use Aussie Moist shampoo and conditioner.

I wash my hair with the shampoo 2-3 times. 

Next, I put the conditioner in my hair and rinse it out immediately.

Then, I put the conditioner in again and add a few drops of oil (Sunflower/Olive Oil Mix). I leave it in for about 30 minutes sitting under the dryer. 

I rinse the conditioner out, and add Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Cream to my hair and detangle. 

Next, I either leave my hair in a fro and let it air dry, or style it the way I want. 

I don’t blow dry my hair anymore, because of the damage. If I need my hair stretched for a particular style, I roll it with the biggest rollers possible and sit under the dryer.

I don’t use any heat on my hair anymore. However, I still wanted to do a review on this product. 

Personally, I didn’t really like it. 

This spray is very stick, and it reminds me of spritz. 

It made my hair feel like I put alcohol in it. 

I only used this product once because it made my hair hard whenever I put any type of heat on it.
