I call it my Yummy Cake Batter Conditioner (Homemade)

After leaving the beach this past Thursday I notice my curls seem a little dry!  So I decided to make a homemade deep conditioner to kick some life back into my dry, frizzy, wind blown , sun cooked curls lol! 

I started gathering items from the kitchen and blending them together in a bowl...to my surprise the aroma was AMAZING!  My sister walked in and wanted to eat it....even i was tempted to taste it but i didn't lol!

I decided to call it "Yummy Cake Batter" Deep Conditioner (YCB Deep Conditioner for short lol)!  The result of this conditioner was way beyond anything I would have even imagined.  Ever since going Curly Girl in January this year I have been having my little issues with frizz here and there...well this YCB Deep Conditioner just shockingly put an end to my frizz in 1 hour!!!!

I loved my hair so much the day after trying this recipe that I couldn't wait to share this with you guys!!!

Items you need:  Whole Yogurt Vanilla, 1 egg, Honey, Almond oil (or you can substitue that with Olive oil), and  Plastic cap to cover hair.

YUMMY CAKE BATTER DEEP CONDITIONER RECIPE

3 tbsp of Whole Yogurt (vanilla)

1 Egg Yolk (pout out the whites only use the yellow)

1 tbsp of Honey

2 tbsp Almond Oil

Pour all ingredients into a bowl and stir it all together until smooth. 

Step 1: Co Wash hair first or Rinse thoroughly with warm water to rid of as much dirt as you can (no shampoo used during this step please)

Step 2: Get rid of excess water by ringing hair out or dabbing on a towel.

Step 3: start apply the Yummy Cake Batter Conditioner through out the hair, start doing this in sections to ensure every area of hair is covered.

Step 4: once every section of hair is covered use whatever is left of the conditioner and saturate the ends of your hair

Step 5: Place a plastic cap on head to keep in moisture and leave cap on for 1 hour ( you can go watch TV or cook dinner or read a book etc...)

Step 6: Rinse conditioner out with COOL WATER (do not use hot or warm because it could cook the egg into your hair)

Step 7: After you have rinsed all the conditioner out wash your hair with your normal shampoo...oh and feel free to use your hot water now lol ( I use Avalon organics peppermint shampoo with no sulfates)

Step 7: Condition as usual with your normal conditioner

Step 8: Style as usual ( I used my Kinky Curly Curling Custard)

 After using this deep conditioner you will notice the hair is very moisturized and silky.  I had absolutely no frizz the next day and curls were a bit more relaxed and hydrated!

I hope you like it...please leave comments and results if you try this!  I would love to get some feedback whether good or bad :) thanks guys!

Curly Kids

Kids with curly hair are the cutest!!!  Parents if you have kids with curly hair please don't ruin it!  If you are not sure how to handle their hair find someone that can! 

I really wish that my mom knew what to do with my hair back in the days because I feel that if she did know how to take care of it I would have never ended up relaxing my hair.  Granted my mom didn't let me get my first relaxer until I was in high school (which i had to beg for), she still didn't know how to manage my curls.  Most mixed kids or parents that have a different hair texture than their kids are somewhat lost when it comes to having to deal with a different hair type.  My mom had 3 girls and all 3 of us have different hair textures so now that I know more about hair I really feel sorry for my mom...she had no clue. 

Most parents back in the day would just relax or straighten their kids hair so they wouldn't have to deal with it, luckily my mom didn't relax my hair...she just put it in a ponytail everyday lol.  I remember asking her to let me wear it down and instead of her washing it and leaving it curly she blew it dry, it started out all nice and straight that morning and as soon as the humidity hit it BAM...it was a chaka khan frizzy mess!  lol

I am going to start a section on curly kids where I will do interviews so that parents with curly kids can see what other parents are doing.  My goal is to start a network of curly people that you all can meet and discuss any concerns or questions you have!

Keep your tresses moisturized! Drink lots of water, add deep conditioning treatments and steam to your regimen, and don’t forget to seal in moisture with an oil based product.

Interviews with Transitioners

Meet S. Elle, she has been transitioning for 1 year and 2 month!  See her interview HERE !

Don't panic when you start to see new growth. Most likely that hair is not a true representation of your hair texture. For me, my hair grows out really puffy but as it gets longer it straightens out into waves. So don't freak out and run to get a perm, just let it grow

Interviews with Transitioners

OK so I have been talking to some transitioners that are looking for that natural curl pattern.  Meet Jenn Epps, she is currently transitioning to her natural hair.  Click HERE to check out her interview!!!

NO PERMS, CHEMICALS, SILICONES, OR SULFATES!!!!   Ix nay on the flat ironing frequently...it not only dries out your hair but it kills your poor curls to point of no return!!!  Keep your hair moisturized, moisture is very important.  Play with your hair and experiment  with a bunch of styles until you find one that suits you best in your natural state.  Braid outs are always great!!!

Ming & Aoki Lee Simmons Natural Curly Hair

Ming and Aoki, the daughters of Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons are still rocking the natural curls and I LOVE it!!!!  Two thumbs up to Kimora for keeping the girls natural.  Ming and Aoki have beautiful curls and they wear them well!

Most parents these days start straightening kids hair at an early age because its less work and easier to deal with, but in actuality they are hurting their kids...for one thing putting harsh chemicals that are strong enough to eat a coke can can not be safe to put on someones head and secondly its very damaging to the hair!

Have any of you watched the documentary by Chris Rock called "Good Hair"...if not I would suggest watching it.  It is very informative!  You can order  "Good Hair" now just by clicking link below :)

Curly hair is starting to take off in a world where straight hair has always seemed to be the mold for beauty!  More and more men and women are rocking their natural curl pattern and its so amazing to see!  Pretty soon everyone will want to have curly hair again lol...remember when everyone with straight hair use to run out to get curly perms?  Its about to happen again folks...mark my words lol  

Till we meet again,
