Natural Hair Accessories

 

It's always fun to accessorize.  This week it has been cool out side and I wanted to protect my curls.  I did a Flexirod set on my hair. But these Kurls don't want to be contained.

 

 

 

I love this scarf I purchased at the Thrift store.

 

 

 

 

I watched this video by fellow Curlfriend Samantha Pollack and got inspired.

Love in Color

I get bored easy! Does anybody else?  After 5 months of new growth I colored my hair. Taadaa!

I used Honey Blonde (Cream of Nature).  It was a crowd pleaser.  I was a bit scared at first, especially with some Naturals giving me the side eye cuz I wanted to color my hair.  I did some research before I did it.  I looked at YouTube.  I saw many Curlies coloring with box color with no problem.  The main thing to consider is  keeping the hair moisturized. 

Look at my inspiration, I am growing steady.

 Although this color was pretty, I wanted to go a few shades lighter.  So I colored again after 7 months. I purchased the "Kaleidocolors by Clairol"

It"s a Bleach and it gave me the lift I was looking for.

I did not dye my roots.  

So after all of that I deep conditioned for 45 mins.

 

 

 

 

I love it!!

Kurly Girl Modified Routine

I'm now 1yr. 1 month, I have been looking at YouTube and seeking the best routine fot my curl pattern and hair type.  Mahogany Curls is who I identified with. When I Big Chopped I was following the Curly Girl Method. Again, I mostly follow it. 

Mahogany Curls washes once a week, Well for me it depends. I normally wash about every two weeks, my hair will maintain a "wash-n- go" for a about a week and a half.  I "co-wash" with Tresemme Naturals, like Mahogany Curls, and I was using Paul Mitchell (The Conditioner) as my leave in. Now I will use a curl cream and Eco Styling Gel. I find tha curl cream leaves my hair a bit softer. To maintain my curls I use a oil water mix moisturizing spray, everyday.  It is really easy, I'll share my recipe in a future Blog. Mahogany Curls doesn't use any oils, but I do.  I use a mix of different essential oils. My scalp gets dry sometime.

I deep condition twice a month.  I have added color to my hair and have take extra care of it.  I will typically mix my deep conditioner also, by using either Mayonnaise or Avacado has a base. Leave it on my hair for at least 45 minutes under a plastic shower cap. Deep conditioning is a great rejuvenation for my hair.

Well Curlfriends,  I just wanted to share what my Curly Girl routine.   I'm still experimenting and reserching, but so far so good. My goal is to not have a cabinet full of products.  I am not using all 100% all natural products,  but a mixture. Remember Kurlies, you should try different regimens and see what works for you.
