Natural Hair Haul!

Ok so here are my fave products:

From Let to Right:

 Hollywood Beauty Smoothing hair creame'; enriched with Keratin &Argan Oil from Morocco.
This Stuff's crack! lol Im addicted just finished my bottle so I have to get more. The smoothing property is phenomenal on straight as well as curly hair. Doesn't leave hair hard or flaky and has great hold for ponytails and edges. Also Enriched with some really great goodies and the Smell is Awesome(fruit extract)!!!


Aveda's Be Curly Curl Enhancer; enriched with wheat protein and Aloe. Combats frizz  and enhances curl, can be used on both wet and dry hair. Wheat protein in the product expands hair when wet and retracts when dry to enhance curl.

Aveda's Be Curly Style Prep; enriched with wheat protein. Revive's hair like no other!! All day frizz control, moisturization and curl definition. Style prep on damp hair..only about a dime size is needed or more if your hair is really long or thick. Reactivates curls along with moisture from water. Try it, I guarantee it won't let you down!!!

Herbal Essence Hello Hydration; ahhh It speaks for it's self, enfaced with Hawaiian Coconut & Orchid.
Heard raves all over about this stuff and I have to say I feel in love my first use. Great as a leave in or a great all around conditioner! Leaves hair soft and very moisturized. I use this for my Tightly Curly Method, so it stays in when my hair is curly 4-5 days and is rinsed out on wash days and repeated if I want the same style (curly) My hair becomes very manageable one wash days and easy to detangle.
Great smell...lasts for a long time!

Products I will be trying out/picking up:

• Ausie Moist
• Aloe Vera Juice as seen on Heyfranhey.com

Tightly Curly Attempt!!!

So a few days ago I attempted to try the Tightly Curly Method....In a nutshell...I failed the process :/. Ive been seeing this method used on the internet and blogs A Lot, so I decided to give it a try! I started by pre-pooing my hair, and since I had already clarified my hair a few days back I decided to skip that step. I rinsed my pre-poo with water that was hot enough for me to take. After my hair was soaking wet, I added my conditioner(VO5 strawberries and cream moisture milks) ..lots of it, as stated in the method. Sectioned the hair, smoothed in small section, and once my natural curls started to fall and clump together on their own..I fingered twirled. It became a Little time consuming so I got lazy and just added flexi Rods to medium sized portions of my hair. I sat under the dryer for abt 30 mins. and air dried the rest of the way. I love the outcome and how my hair feels, plus how moisturized it still is after three days! Caution when using this method as to the Conditioners (Combing Conditioners) you leave in...some are not good for you! I used the VO5, but when using the ingredients dictionary on Tightlycurly.com I found one ingredient that may not but good to leave in and was under investigation, so that threw up a red flag. I still think its a great conditioner..but I will not use it as a leave in anymore. Only when shampooing and co- washing. The site has recommended conditioners to use, so my next attempt would most likely be Aveeno Nourish and shine or Ausie Moist. Please make sure you do your research when trying this Method!

HAIR and FITNESS CHALLENGE

I've already started, but you won't be far behind! Recently I have been researching goals that I want to reach as far as my hair and body, and have found some great challenges. Ultimately I put my own twist to them. Join the challenges with me, record your progress and let's share with others!

Hair Challenge: 12 Inches In 12 Months
                       
                         Each month I expect to gain at least an inch of hair. Start by making a growth chart t-shirt or   buying one. If you are making one, you want to make sure that your chart is correct so that you can record your progress as close as possible.

                           Weekly:

                          1) Pre-poo with essential oils (Vitika, coconut, rosemary, olive oil) etc.

                          2) Shampoo with little to no Poo in at least four braids (Shampoo of your choice)

                          3) Deep Condition, let penetrate for minimum of 1hr. to overnight, finger detangle under water (Herbal Essences Hello Hydration or Conditioner of choice)
                          4)Rinse under cold water, seal with oil and/or leave-in conditioner. Distribute a dime size
                             amount all over hair, paying special attention to the ends.
                       

•                 Keep hair moisturized
•                 Sleep with Satin bonnet or pillow case
•                 Use proper Detangling methods
•                 Stay away from excessive Heat, no more than 2 times a month
•                 Deep condition regulary as needed
•                 Invest in daily Multi- Vitamins!
•                 Implement Protein Treatments, every 6-8 weeks

Fitness: Toned Legs,Butt, Thighs, and Six Pack Abs!


                          1)Warm up before your actual exercise. Such as high knees, jumping jacks, mountain
                           climbers etc. 1 min. each for a total of 3 min.
                         
                          2)Perform Butt and Leg Excercises(perform with glutes and abs tightened)
                             Donkey Kicks, Fire Hydrant, Superman, Lunges, Reverse Lunges, Wall sit, Plank etc.
               
                          3)Perform Ab execises(perform with abdominal muscles tightened)
                             Such as crunches, situps, standing obliques.etc.

                          Be sure to make sure you give your self a break between days!
