During Christmas break, I went into a beauty supply/wig store with intentions of buying a clarifying shampoo (with minimal ingredients). Not sure what brand I was looking for, I assumed it would be in the shampoo aisle. In this store, everything was arranged according to brand. It was a huge store. As I walked down the long aisles full of hair product, I sighed in relief because I felt like going natural was the BEST darn decision I’ve ever made. I no longer need to buy relaxers, numerous shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, etc. My required hair maintainence is minimal. My hair ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

I’ve been wanting to dye a few of my locs pink or purple, but in order to do so, I’d have to bleach them. I don’t want to bleach my hair because it’s not the healthiest or the most natural choice. I’d be a hypocrite if I said, “Oh, my hair is natural and unprocessed.”, when clearly it would not be. Well, I already kinda dyed my hair black when I first started my locs because they looked bad (to me) brown. At the same time I feel like I should live my life to the fullest and go for ...

Little Man With A ‘Tude

He colored on his face…again. Jayden has been doing a very good job at convincing us that he doesn’t need any siblings. His lil’ male diva (in a non feminine way) attitude has taken over this house. He’s very particular about his wants. He wants cereal, with milk, in a bowl, in that order. Sandwich, with meat, on bread. He has to have covers with his pillow. His covers have to completely cover his feet and must be tucked around his neck. We must fix (pull apart) his duplo blocks after each new creation. Of course things could be worse. ...

Six Flags And Dread(loc)ks

locs

A few days ago, I wrote a post about an incredible deal Walmart had going on for Six Flags this summer. In return for that post, I received four tickets to Six Flags. Exciting right? Especially since we are in need of a fun family getaway. Well… It has come to my attention that there has been a case of Six Flags theme parks refusing to hire individuals who wear their hair in dread(loc)ks. Six Flags does not permit this “extreme” hairstyle as it detracts from Six Flags’ theme. Here we go… “Six Flags enforces a conservative grooming policy across ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Before having Jayden, we decided that we would not give him haircuts. We’d let his hair grow out and if he decided he wanted it cut when he got older, we’d allow it. His hair growth is pretty much at a standstill. I’d like to be able to style it in braids and twists, but I realize that without a routine and good products, his hair will not grow. For a long time he only had bangs because his hair fell out due to cradle cap. So considering, his hair is now full and in great condition; just not as ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →
