Recipe for my special batch of Juices & Berries..

I'm not a fan of measuring stuff...1 cup of this 1/4 cup of that...eh? I'll pass, I like to "eyeball" the ingredients.... I've been asked several times for the recipe to my infamous bottle of "juices and berries" (adapted from Coming to America) LOL! Honestly, I kinda throw any and everything in my bottle, depending on what stuff I have in stock. This bottle has::

*olive oil

*melted shea butter

*castor oil

*a generous squeeze of your favorite leave in conditioner (just make sure it is free from parabens and words you can't pronounce) I use Nubian Heritage/Carol's Daughter products.

*grape seed oil

*a dab of water

*rosemary and/or lavender for fragrance

I have different variations of this "recipe"...this mixture is awesome for my hair. It makes my hair so soft and its growing like weeds...I have a feeling I'm leaving something out...hmmmm?

Google your favorite natural hair care mixtures and mix and match a recipe that works best for you and your hair! Happy Mixing!

Hairspiration:: Natural Styles

As I approach my 2 year Nappiversary I am loving this natural life more and more these days! My hair is growing like weeds and my usual twist/twist out is getting a little boring. Don't get me wrong, I love my twisties and all but now that I have more hair I'm looking for new styles. Its something about the "free" hairstyles that I really love. Its so liberating to rock my hair when its just doing its own thing. Its no particular style but my natural kinks, waves and coils doing what they do! The styles above are just a few...I have so many more but these are a few faves. If I wasn't so tender-headed (is that a real word? LOL!) I'd rock braids but I just don't have the attention span to sit for hours and get my hair braided. The look Jill Scott is rocking is soooo hot, half braided half wild and sexy on the other side. I recently added more color in my hair. I did a henna treatment which turned my hair a wine/auburn color in the front. I love it! Color is so fun,....after henna you have to saturate your hair with juices and berries because it can really dry your hair OUT! You can't beat natural permanent color though! *wink*
