The Best Moisturizer EVER!

Ever since I've gone natural I have been trying to use natural, organic products in my hair. I have discovered from reading numerous blogs and watching countless YouTube videos that raw shea butter is a great moisturizer. I used it before when I was younger on my skin and it is amazing! But it is also great for trapping in moisture and preserving elasticity in your hair. There are various things you can mix with the shea butter to create homemade products. I will post videos of different shea butter recipes and create a page for recipes that I find. Also if you would like to purchase some raw shea butter, you can purchase it right here at my new DIVA SHOP.

My Yarn Braids

After my big chop, my friend Marcus, was really trying to talk me into getting locks. I have always thought about it, but I like the option of changing my hair lot and locks are too permanent. So I was browsing You Tube and I founds some videos on yarn braids. I had heard about them before but when I saw that they looked a lot like locks, I decided to give it a try.

This was like an never ending process because this was the first time I have ever put individuals in to my own hair so it took me a while to learn how to make them really tight. By time I finish putting them in, I would be taking a section down because they were slipping but I loved them. I will mos def to them again but I will be waiting until my hair is longer so that I would have a much better grip. I had them in for like a little over a month and the hair really grew!

Embracing My Kinky Coils

For the past month and a half I have had my yarn braids in (and I'm still going on to post and upload my video on those as promised, just have to find the time to work on it, but it's coming soon I promise), well I was getting tired of those because, my hair was growing rapidly and I got tired of redoing my edges so took them out and dyed my hair and I am loving it! Now if I could just find out what products would be the best for my hair that would be great. I'll admit I'm a product junkie. I'm always trying out something new. But times are hard and saving money is a HUGE priority right now, so I'm try to figure out a regimen that works best with what I already have. I'll post later in a different post what tips I've already found that have worked for me. But I just want to update you my hair journey.
