Favorite Hair Products: Part 1

Since I've been natural I have accumulated a lot of hair products. I love trying out new things, but it can get annoying sometimes, having a bunch of products, that do the same thing. So I went through my collection of products and picked out a few things that I enjoy using in my hair daily!

Daily Products:

Moisturizer

The Shea Moister line was sent from heaven as a blessing for my hair!! I have a lot of hair, so all I do is section my hair into four sections and add this into each part. 
The next day all I do is spray my hair with water and my hair is moisturized and soft. 

Molders/Holders


I didn't like this at first, but after using it so much and learning that my hair has to be damp before adding this, I found "The Sweetest Thing" for my hair. My edges are always on point!! It does flake after a while, so I just add a little water and tie it down and I'm good to go!


This is my boo thang!! lol I love this. It's crack to my hair. My hair looks shiny, thick and moisturized, when I'm done using this. It doesn't dry out my hair at all, it actually makes it really soft!


I always had  a problems with my edges. They are constantly breaking and I really think it's genetics!! But I learned to tame "my run away" edges with this product. I mix it with the olive oil gel and it stays smooth all day and night. 
Side note: Please don't think when your edges are short its called "baby hairs", because its not. It's FAAARRR from it hun!

Sealants





I mix all of these oils together. I just started getting into the habit of using them. I can't use coconut oil alone, I think it dries out my hair. I use the L.O.C method when using the oils.
L- Liquid:Water.
O- Oils: You seal the liquids with the oils.
C-Creams: Then you add the cream to lock up all the moister from the previous products!

Last But not least is water. You should ALWAYS use water in your hair. Never comb your hair when is dry. You should use a lot now, especially when it's HOT!!

Happy Naturalversary !!

Today makes 2 years of making my way back to the natural scene!!! I almost forgot, but I am glad I remembered.

I want to thank ALL the haters who thought going natural was lame. My some of my family members who didn't think going natural was the right thing to do. My friends for motivating me. YouTube for giving me wonderful video so I can experiment with my hair. WATER WATER WATER.... I love you water. You are my everything. Thank you for allowing my hair to be healthy. Last but not least, my wonderful genes!!! Thank you for making my hair soooo damn thick and multi - textured!! I love it!

This is the hairstyle I wore to church. I could have never done that 2 years ago.







I used:
Eco styler gel (Olive oil), Water, Shea Moister: Curling Souffle and a lot of bobby pins.

Side note: I did not CHOP my hair off. I refused to walk around looking like a stud in GA. (The gay capital of the WORLD) I transitioned, by wearing braids my entire senior year. In my opinion transitioning is easier to do. 

Also...... tomorrow is my 20th birthday!!! Super excited, God has been so good to me. I am truly blessed to have seen another year!

I hope you all have a fabulous week! :)
