♥ Is In The Hair

         " Yes I am my hair. We are both natural, beautiful and strong. We have both suffered at the hands of those who didn't know how to treat us or, help us thrive. We are both growing. We are both getting older. We are both a lot healthier since eliminating bad treatment. We both love being touched, caressed and spoiled."

2012 Is Almost Here!

          The New Year is approaching, so let's start it off by rejuvenating our skin inside and out! If your body is hydrated your skin and scalp will be too, so remember it is important to drink plenty of water. Also, be sure not to over-oil your hair, because your scalp needs to breathe and try using natural oils to restore any dullness your hair may have from winter weather conditions.

Have a Healthy & Prosperous New Year!

Rainy Day Hair Treatment!

 

          Rain! Rain! Go Away! So, I learned that rainy days tends to make your hair oily and erupt buildup.  This is what you should do on a day like today, massage your scalp with an Essential Oil to improve blood circulation; it will strengthens your hair and prevents hair loss.  Here are some Essential Oils specially for rainy season:

• Almond Oil: Stimulates hair growth, moisturizes the scalp and strengthens hair. It also combats frizz and adds shine to hair.

• Jojoba Oil: Moisturizes the scalp and conditions your hair and prevents it from being brittle and dull.

• Lavender Oil: Scalp treatment for itchiness, dandruff and for the smell.

• Rosemary Oil: Promotes hair growth and dandruff treatment - Do not use if your pregnant!

           "I was tired of  Black Sistas feeling subject to having their hair pressed and straightened, and damaged with relaxers, and heat.  So I wanted to make short and nappy hair fashionable, and let the industry know that there is nothing wrong with the texture that we have been born with.  So I plan to grow it out to the big beautiful nappy hair that I have."     ~Chrisette Michele ♥
