I am loving that Rihanna went back to a short pixie cut! She served! Everything was on point the hair, the makeup, and the dress.

Congrats Gabby
Aug 4, 2012
16 year old, American, Gabby Douglas made history at the Olympics and I could not be more proud of her. Some people tried to dampen poor Gabby's accomplishments by attacking her hair calling it "nappy" and other names. The fact is she is gymnast! I'm not sure how you maintain your hair when you are flipping and jumping. But what do I know? Not only is Gabby a fierce competitor but she is also a beautiful young woman both inside and out. She is a lovely role model for both woman and little girls around the world.

Moisture Spray
Apr 15, 2012
My locks tend to get super dry as it gets closer to hair washing day. To combat this dryness I came up with my own concoction. I am in love with water, olive oil, and coconut oil. So it would only seem quite natural for me to mix all three ingredients together. I also threw in some Infusium 23 for added assistance in the moisturizing department.
I pretty much eyeballed the mixture but I used more water than any of the other ingredients.The results are shiny moisturized hair that is not left feeling super greasy or weighed down.
Give it a try and tell me what you think.

Hair Care Products
Oct 10, 2011
When it comes to my hair products I usually try to keep it simple. (aka Im broke lol) When I was newly natural I was gung-ho super natural girl. Nothing was touching my head unless it was additive free and uber natural. Then I realized that ish was expensive! So now I try to balance out with products that all natural ingredients and products that list additives/chemicals further down in there ingredients.
With that being said here is the the list of my current products in rotation:
1. Kinky Curly's Knot Today - I use this to tame my 'fro locs. It leaves my hair super soft. (shout out to Kim for leaving it at my house :p )
2. Taliah Waajid's Lock it Up - I use this to retwist my locs. It does not leave my hair flaky, ashy, or heavy. I think it would make a good gel for twist outs for the loose hair girlies. (jealous)
3. Blue Magic's Coconut Oil - Yessss I knooooow!!!! I busted out the Blue Magic. Call me ghetto! lol (shrug) Any who.. I mix the coconut oil with my locing gel. I learned that trick from a friend. It gives the gel a extra hold and leaves my scalp/hair moisturized.
4. Garnier Fructis shampoo - I just choose any one really. It is cheap and it works.
What products do you swear by for natural haircare? I'll try anything once.

Beauty Review: Curls' Blissfull Lengths
Jun 22, 2011
I was at my neighborhood Target (aka DC's only Target) with my friend. While perusing down the beauty aisle is stopped in the "ethnic section". You see lately my hair has been rather dry since i ran out of oil and refused to replace it due to sheer laziness.
My friend started raving about Curls products...so naturally I picked up the Curls Kukinut Oil Elixir. I am liking the oil thus far. Not only is the smell is yummy but my hair is loving this oil. It just soaks it up and leaves my hair very moisturized and shiny. What I also like about this oil is that it doesn't leave my hair greasy. (that's the WORST!) I love the fact that it doesn't have mineral, silicones, parabens, petroleum or sulfate oils. It's so hard to find products that do not use those ingredients. I am not sure about the growth aspect of this oil as I have not been using it for that long and I am not really interested in increasing my growth rate.
Overall I am a happy camper.
Hair Today .... Long Tomorrow
Jun 17, 2011
I was facebook stalking myself today (don't act like you dont do it too) and going through my pictures from freshmen year. I came across this photo.
Ignore...the ecko...dont judge me
Anyway...
I can't believe how far my hair has come in just six years. Back in the day i couldn't wait til my hair was ponytail-able and now my hair is approaching butt length. (a hair cut is needed for sure)
I have no real secret to my hair growth. When it comes to my hair i really take the less is more approach. I wash it with Garnier shampoo and use olive oil as a hot oil treatment. I switch between the Olive Oil brand loc gel and Taliah Waajid. I retwist when i get sick of my fro locs lol. I really am my hair idk what i'd do without my locs. Certainly not comb my hair lol.
