Honey & Olive Oil Deep Treatment

Do you have Dry, Frizzy or brittle hair???

Like I have said so many times Deep Conditioning is very important to maintain healthy happy hair!  I heard a lot about how Honey is really good for the hair so I wanted to try it!

                                 

Honey is a humectant for hair which means it helps the hair attract and retain moisture which is very import for us curlies!!!!

HONEY & OLIVE OIL RECIPE

* what you will need: bowl, tablespoon, extra virgin olive oil, all natural honey, and a plastic cap to cover your head

*Get your bowl and add :

2 tbsp of all natural honey

2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

*Stir it all together and put in the microwave for 20 seconds (let it cool if it is too hot to touch)

*Rinse hair with warm water (ring out as much water as possible do not towel dry)

*Seperate hair into sections and start applying your honey and Olive oil mix (make sure to cover ends really good)

*When done putting mixture over every section of hair place your plasitc cap over your hair and let it sit for 30 minutes to and hour

*When done you can either wash out or rinse out with warm water

I chose to just rinse it out with warm water and then apply conditioner because I like extra moisture but feel free to do whatever you prefer!

Hope you enjoy,

Kinky-Curly Hair Products Demo

OK so as you guys know, I have been testing out natural hair product as well as silicone and sulfate free product for a few months now! If you read my earlier blogs last year you should know that Mixed Chicks use to be my all time favorite product. Well since switching to CG (curly girl) products I no longer use Mixed chicks because the products have sulfate and silicones in them.

I heard a lot about a product called Kinky Curly so I tried it out! All I have to say about this product line is that I AM IN LOVE!!!!! My all time favorite is the kinky curly curling custard! It is a very thick gel and also makes your hair feel extremely weird while applying it but the results are GREAT!

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews on this product, some people hate it some love it! I guess it all depends on you and what you like...people with all different hair textures like this product so I don't feel it is a texture thing its more of a preference thing!

The main thing that I heard was that people have a hard time determining how much to apply and how to apply the product! I have attached a video by the owner of Kinky Curly...this video worked great for me! I watched this exact video before I even tried Kinky Curly and it came out perfect!!!

Straight Hair

Ok guys I have been "CURLY GIRL" for officially 2 months...well on March 17th it will be two months ( that's just 3 days away...so whose counting ha).

I decided to straighten my hair just to see what it looks like straight now that I'm an official Curly Girl (following Lorraine Massey's Curly Girl Method). I CANT BELIEVE HOW SHINY MY HAIR IS...don't get me wrong it has always been shiny but not this shiny!!!

I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO USING SULFATES AND SILICONE'S!!!!

*For those of you that are not sure what the curly girl method is check my previous blog titled "Curly Girl Day 1" or just click on CURLY GIRL METHOD ON THE TOP OF THIS PAGE!

Trimming Hair to make it grow faster!

Trimming hair will make it grow faster...this has been an on going myth for years! Trimming your hair is very important to growing long HEALTHY hair, however it does not make your hair grow faster.

On average hair grows about 1/2 inch per month. If you want your hair to look healthy and shiny, or if you experience split or thinning ends YOU NEED TO TRIM YOUR HAIR!

People please stop trying to hang onto dead, dry, frizzy, dull, thinned out hair just because you want your hair to be long. For one thing it looks horrible no matter how long it is, and for another thing its looks like your hair is dying to be cut (no pun intended)!!! I'm just going to be honest if i see a girl who has bra strap length hair that is dry, dull and split the first thing that pops into my head is THAT GIRL REALLY NEEDS TO CUT HER HAIR....and not that girl really has long hair (lol) seriously!!!!

Bottom line guys WE ALL LOOK BETTER WITH HEALTHY HAIR...no matter how long it is!!!!

TOP REASON FOR TRIMMING YOUR HAIR (AT LEAST) EVERY 2 MONTHS.
1. Healthier hair
2. Less tangles
3. More hair movement (better flow and body)
4. Less thinning
5. Shinier Hair


If you cant afford to go to a salon to get your hair trimmed, just trim it yourself or have a family member or friend do it for you...Just remember only use hair scissors not regular ones :)!!!! You can get hair scissors at any drug store, target, wal-mart or sally's beauty supply!

Till next time guys,
