Hey Curly Girl!

How are ya! So, I just wanted to talk about natural products since that’s been my main focus these last couple of months.

Did you know that the chemicals in many store bought hair shampoos actually strip the nutrients and vitamins from your hair? I had no idea it actually stripped the nutrients, but it does make sense. This stripping then prompts you to use their conditioner to bring your hair back to life. Hey somebody’s gotta’ make a dollar I guess. But if it’s at the expense of our health it’s not worth it. Read about the different natural hair shampoos here!

Hope you’re having a good hair day!

Ok, so when I read the title of the article I thought this girl went to the hair salon to get a relaxer. Nope, she did it herself at home. Now everyone knows if you risk doing a relaxer yourself there may be consequences. A lot of people do get good results doing it at home themselves and it’s all good. But when is it that people will begin to take responsibility for their own choices? Aren’t warnings on boxes enough? Do store owners have to also back up the warnings already included on the box? Why has suing become the soup of the day? What are your thoughts?

OK, this video touched a nerve. It’s so sad! “Daughter’s Who Hate Their Curly Hair?” It is very common. I remember as a young child I used to put my sister’s red sweater on my head. And the sleeves of the sweater would hang down over my ears and I would whip those sleeves back as if they were bangs imagining I had long, flowing hair. I didn’t hate my hair, but I did sometimes wish I had long straight hair.

Why can’t we love ourselves the way we are?
