With kinky hair, you can never go wrong with a deep conditioner and/or leave -in. For a light condition, I use Treseme Naturals Nourishing Moisture. For a deeper conditioner, I like to go for Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque. My go to leave-in has always been Giovanni Direct Leave-In. 

As far as detangling is concerned, I only do so when my hair is wet and doused in conditioner. I used to use a wide tooth comb but now I’ve opted for just using my fingers. Takes less time and is so much gentler on my hair.

If you’re suffering from breakage, it could be for a number of reasons. One, being a protein deficiency which can easily be treated with a protein treatment (the Shea Moisture product that I listed above helps if that’s the issue). The only other reason I could think of is improperly detangling, which can include detangling while hair is dry, using the wrong tools and putting too much tension on hair strands. If you have a feeling any of these could be the cause, that can be handled easily.

I hope this helps. Any more questions feel free to ask.

Small update on curly girl. So far my the hair in the back is showing the best result. Now because my hair is KINKY, not curly mind you, I’m expecting it to take a little longer to see results over my entire head. Next week I’ll give you full photos and a full synopsis over my current routine.

My favorite story out of this is Malia, when she was 4, she had a little dance thing. Well, Michelle was gone that weekend so I’m taking her to ballet. And I get her in her little leotard and her little stuff. I did her hair, put it in a little bun.

We get to the dance studio and one of the mothers there right away comes up to Malia – she thinks she’s out of earshot of me and she says, ‘Sweetie, do you want me to redo your hair?’ And Malia who she’s 4 says, ‘Yes please, this is a disaster’ you know, she didn’t want to hurt daddy’s feelings.

I’ve decided to trial the Curly Girl method for 6 weeks to seen if their will be a noticeable change in the look and feel of the my hair.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Curly Girl (CG) method, it’s basically no longer using shampoo to cleanse your hair so that the end result with eliminate frizz as well as enhance your hair’s natural texture. For more information you can read all about it here

I’ve been researching the CG method the last three weeks and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t completely sold. All the testimonials I had seen were of women who had hair textures ranging from 2a to 3c/4a (maybe). My hair is rather kinky (4a/b) with strands that do no clump together. So if I were going to try this method, I’d have to approach it differentialy.

First off, my ultimate goal is not curl definition, it will be to eliminate frizz as well as increase the overall feel of the  hair and luster. All my products are now silicon and alcohol free and I only use my fingers along with a wide tooth comb to detangle.

I will report back to you guys on a weekly basis on the progress my hair has made. Hopefully by the end of the six weeks, there will be a noticeable difference. The products and techniques I will be using during this period will be explained in a later post. Anyone interested in the process of start CG can again click the link above or check out another one here.

I’m really interested on seeing how CG will work on someone with very kinky hair, so wish me luck!

Beauty Basics- An Eyebrow Tutorial

This a quick video showing you guys I do my eyebrows. Nothing fancy, I prefer them to look as natural as possible.

Products Used:

Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer

Jordana Easy Liner For Eyes in Coffee Bean

MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW 35

I’m working on a series of videos for makeup beginners just dealing with the basics from foundation application to how to apply eyeliner. It’s my first time doing a video like this so I hope you guys enjoy.

Well, the natural hair community has really grown in Houston in the last year and a half. Alot of people are accepting, while there are still quite a few against it. However, I haven’t come across anyone overly judgmental. There are also some youtubers who are based in houston. youtube.com/mynaturalsistas and youtube.com/iknowlee

Hope this helps
