Twenty Twelve!

I know we're well into 2012, but HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I was trying to see if I had any natural hair resolutions for the year, and I realized, I absolutely do!

1. Retain length!
How do you do that, you ask? Simple! Take care of your hair! That statement alone however is a general statement. It doesn't mean you have to follow someone else's regimen down to the type of pillowcase they use! Taking care of your hair is more than just the products you use. It includes your diet, making sure you take care of your body, (EXERCISE), etc. it's kind Of like taking care of a baby! ^__^

2. Make my own hair product(s)
I've been searching for all natural whipped Shea butter recipes. I've found some helpful ones but there's always an excuse for me (shaking my head at myself). HOWEVER! Before the year is over, I'm gonna have my own recipe. Scents and all!

3. Start vlogging?
Possibility. I have friends who text and call asking for hair tips and tutorials. Making a video is so much easier than texting it all... But I haven't completely decided yet.

4. BLOG MORE OFTEN!
I'm really gonna shoot for at least one blog post a week. I know I've said this before but I'm gonna try my best this year! Maybe I'll get a shadow write or something for those weeks when I'm extremely busy! Lol we'll see what happens. There's A TON of info waiting to be shared about the beauty of natural hair... Enough time wasting, Sophie!

And finally...
5. Inspire at least ONE person!
I hope that one day, someone reads my blog or sees my pictures and feel like they want to do something creative themselves. Thats enough for me!

Have a creative new year! ^__^

Natural Hair Products

So I've a little bit of shopping lately. Ive been looking for some new products to try on my her. Earlier this week, a friend of mine told me about a website iherb.com where she buys some of her products. So of course, I checked it out! They have a lot of natural products for hair, skin, beauty, etc. (And cheap too!) This week, I bought pure Shea butter, some more coconut oil, jojoba oil, and I also bout a Giovanni conditioner (from Walmart). Do I plan on buying anything else in the next few days? Of course! I still have to buy a new bearfruithair moisturizer, a glycerin protein treatment, and I want to try "Carol's daughter Lock Butter". Can't wait to try my new products! I'll keep you all posted on the results!

Check out iherb.com if you're interested in natural products but don't have the budget for the expensive ones!

Mini Twist & head wraps

Tis the season for protective hairstyles! My favorites right now are mini twists. Honestly though, I wrap my hair more often cuz in usually too busy (or just too lazy) to mini twist my hair. I did this week, and with my heavy work load, it took about 3 days! So after I take them out, my hair will go through a series of different style wraps! Be not dismayed though! There's so many types of wraps you can do. The possibilities are almost endless! I'll post some pics up now and some videos up later!

Be creative ladies!
