Coconut Milk/Cream Treatments

Today I want to discuss on coconut treatments. I haven't been doing them very long, but I can tell you my hair is speaking with a difference. Some people might find it very drying to the hair. This is why I follow up with a good deep condition and prep my hair normally as I do. I use what my hair loves to keep my balance. Whether it 's a good creme that I love that I have at hand. Or my kimmaytube cognitions that I make to balance that moisture. But my next step is to try it in a different method. You can use whatever brand you can get on hand, or a raw organic type. The first time I did this treament I tried the box version. But I find that the Goya cans suit me best for now when I want to do this type of treatment. My next step is try it out in my future mud mixes. I want to see the difference it makes and how more beneficial it can be. Sometimes doing henna treatments can be a bit drying . So some people say adding coconut milk to the mud mixes, help keep the softness to the hair. If you have no problem, with coconut or being a mixtress you can try this method. To keep The Moisture: I practice the LOC Method. Liquid, Oil, Creme I do this if I run out of my (kimmaytube mix), which you can learn to make by searching youtube. (If I dont have certain ingredients to make the mix, then the LOC Method can be used.)

Thickening your tresses

Today, I want to talk about maintaining the hair to stay strong and having thicker tresses. Well for a long time I didn't know that was so many ways we have to maintain the hair no matter if it's in the relax or natural state. I mean my main ideas was keep it clean, dry, set and style , light grease and go! I didn't know we should do hot oil treatments every so and so, let your deep condition sit or practice doing protein treatments every once a month. There so many ways to thicken and maintain your strands. So today I want to talk about Henna. What is Henna? Why do you use Henna? What is it purposes and so forth. Henna is a natural plant, that stains and dyes and also is a natural protein that fills the gaps and promotes thickness.

Why I use it?

I use it for two different purposes. I use it because it a great natural plant protein that thickens the hair. Second reason it's a natural way to dye the strands. My hair is naturally dark but when it hit the sunlight I have tints of red and sometimes I can see the tints without the sun when I look really closely. It is something you have to do overtime. But the main greatest purpose is strengthen your tresses.

***note: picture up top is a old henna session as you can see my tresses look straighter, less curl. I kind over did my session by adding alot of hibsicus powder...something I use to get the color dye release.Another is you can use other powders to your mixes. I will explain this in a next blog session**** In these pics this is my henna session I set my henna in a carrot bag and freeze it for when I will use. You can set henna overnite for dye release or you can use right away depending on the purpose of how you want to use it.

It's not just the beginning....

Hello, This is my story. My journey began having downfalls in 2006. I believe. I wanted a dye job. I can't recall but I believe I did something like a strawberry blonde or brown sorry I don't have pics but I have memories.I wasn't taking care of it so, that is where it all started.I wore alot of protect styles to grown my hair out. Before all this I did start my protective styles in my peek teenage years. But this was more so to grow out the damage I had. I also feel that I could retain the lengths I once had in the mist of jhs school and late high school years. I tried many ways and ideas to catch my ideal goal. Fast foward------> 2012. Five years natural and still learning. I did a texturizer last august big no,no on my part and even went to do a dominican blow and /flat iron. Hair chin length ughhh. Why me? Six months on n off on Hairfinity. BUT!Guess what?! My hair has grown since then! It touches my shoulders somewhat yay me! Trimmed in Febraury. Last weave protective style in November. So this my journey, I need to stay focus for 2014 because I want to make this challenge not just for a contest but also for me and hopefully I can leave a mark. Even for others on along the way. One more thing I haven't big chopped always been a natural transitioner and followed up with trims and protective styles when neccesary. Here's to my Journey.
