Hair on the go!

On my way out for drinks for my sisters birthday and needed a quick hairstyle I washed my hair yesterday and twisted it up to let it air dry. I'm still growing out the perm I had put in the front to texlax my hair so I don't usually have a fringe/bangs. So I decided to do a bit of a side sweep kind of thing then had the back out. I then added a flower because it was pretty and I felt like it lol I like it tell me what you think... Ohhh and I did a length check I think I'm at bra length now yay!!!

Holiday hair and outfits?...

So I'm on my way home and planning out my evening I'm still on the lookout for a leave conditioner but until then I'll use my herbal essences hello hydration a try, I'll give you guys the results. I've decided to wear my hair curly for the next few weeks and treat it once a week. I'm going on holiday ( I love travelling) and although I love my natural hair I don't love the time it consumes on my holidays. This time im going to barbados with my partner, i absolutely love it out there and I'm going for a reggae festival which is even better, can't wait! Time is precious when you've only got a few days away so I've decided to straighten it for those 5 days. I'm thinking it should keep at least for 3 days if it goes frizzy I'll just cowash it and rock the fro! So my next challenge is what outfit to wear I've got 2 events a night show so glitz, glam and party and then a day show so shorts, casual but sexy. Hmmmm decisions decisions, the things a girl has to go through...smh, any suggestions that goes for both a leave in conditioner and ideas for an outfit...x

Am I too old be playing in the mud???

So, I've been wearing my hair straight for the past 3 weeks, the main reason being, I just didn't know what to do with it! Not really the greatest of ideas, my hairs been feeling weird lately, like not her usual self and I couldn't put my finger on what the problem was. So after nearly itching my scalp red raw (my hairs used to weekly washes, 3 weeks was really pushing it) I thought I'd browse YouTube and see if I could come up with some ideas. After watching a few videos I decided to give my hair a pamper day so here's what I did:

A hot oil treatment- applied on dry hair I mixed together olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil and sweet almond oil and a clove of garlic. Left on for 30 min.

Then washed with my rhassoul clay which I mixed with warm water, hair felt so soft after but I didn't stop there.

I then mixed hair mayo with honey and a bit more rhassoul clay (yes it can also be mixed into your conditioner) and left that on with a plastic cap for 2 hours.

Problem now is i haven't got a leave in or moisturiser i think I've found the issue with my regime. I think thats why my hairs dry, so the quest is to know find a good leave in and moisturiser.

As for the rhassoul clay i love it, i used the remaining clay mix as a mask and washed my body with the rest. Yes for those who don't know rhassoul clay can be used as a cleanser. Ive decided to alternate between my keracare sulfate free shampoo and rhassoul clay for my weekly washes... In the meantime can anyone suggest a god leave in conditioner and moisturiser, by the way I'm allergic to phenoxyethanol which doesn't help so I'm open yo natural recipes too. X

Welcome One and All

So HELLO people, ladies and gentlemen, cats and dogs, all creatures of the world...Welcome to my blog!

I was online today having a look at a number of other blogs and youtubers and i thought, I've been meaning to do a blog for sometime now and since its Good Friday and i have no plans, apart from chilling and washing my hair why not? I literally have the deep conditioner in my hair as i type.

So before i go any further i think its best that i clarify what  my blog will entail,  if you're looking for the 'ORACLE' someone who can tell you each and everything you need to know about hair, life and all else, you've definitely come to the wrong place!!!! LMAO However if you're looking for a place where you can follow someones journey with their hair and all else, the ups and downs, the discoveries and the mistakes, then carry on reading. I will be documenting my journey with my hair, life and all that it comes with, I'm keen to learn from others as much as i am happy to share my own experiences.

So with that said, lets get Sharing!!!
