What a great weekend!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was relaxing and filled with shopping! My hair adventures were really interesting. I did the Henna on Wednesday night and it didn't look much different leaving it in for 7 hours rather than 3. I will say that every time I got into the sun, you could see the color (reddish) a lot more. I did a twist out(my go to hairstyle) and unfortunately, I didn't let it try all the way through and my hair looked a mess (to me at least). Friday night I did a dry twist out I hate that my camera didn't catch the true fierceness of the twist out. I must say I will be twisting my hair every night!! I experimented with a product called Shea Moisturizer Curl Enhancer Smoothie (Target $9.99) to define my curls when I do my twist and I must say that it did fairly well on my hair! The ingredients include Neem Oil, Coconut Oil, and Silk Protein. My hair felt soft and I really liked out the curls popped. With that said......I am off to search the Cyber Monday deals! ;-)

I am excited and tired thinking about Thanksgiving. I am excited to be off of work and chill with the hubby and friends but I am also tired because we are cooking tonight and I am going to Henna my hair! YIKES!!!!!!!! I think I can get it all accomplished without going crazy.......maybe. So the plan is to go home, take a quick nap (yeah right), put the Henna in and while it's cooking on my head I will then start to cook my Thanksgiving meal. I am anxious to put the Henna on tonight because this will be my second attempt and this time I will have it on for about 7 hours vs. 3 hours! I promise to post pictures!!! Anyway, hope you all have an awesome Turkey Day and don't get too stuffed! ;-)

Where have I been???

I can't believe it has been several days since my last blog post! Yikes!! I was putting together an AWESOME baby shower and I got seriously sidetracked! Sorry about that. So my hair has been going through some changes these past couple of days. I am experiencing massive shirkage and it is quite annoying! My hair shrivels up so badly with Wash n Go's!! UGH!! So I have decided that twist outs are my best friend. The only thing is, it takes me 1-2 hours to twist my hair! My hair is at the short stage, so it will be a little while before I can actually just throw 6-8 twists in my hair and keep it moving.

I was supposed to post pictures of my henna treatment and I totally forgot! My iPhone got jacked up and needless to say I lost all of my "after henna" photos! I loved it though. I will be doing henna 2 times a month so we will see how my hair behaves. Chat with you all soon!

Do You Henna Your Hair?



Many of you know Henna as an art that is used to tattoo. What some of you may not know is that Henna also has great benefits for your hair!! This powered substance mixed with green tea and a little honey can make your hair soft, shiny, and even give you a hint of color. It will not lift your hair color (even though if you use it constantly, it just might) but it will make healthier. I did my first Henna treatment last night and let me tell you, my hair has never been this healthy looking since I cut off my hair 2 weeks and 5 days ago (yes, I am counting)!!! Check out my fellow curly, Curly Nikki for the step by step tutorial! Pictures will be posted soon!
