Henna & Amla Treatment

      Two weeks ago I decided to try an Amla & Henna Treatment on my hair. When I normally do Henna treatments, I normally use Henna as the main powder and nothing else but I decided to experiment and mix in a small batch of Amla. The whole process time for took about a day. I usually let mine sit overnight so I don't have to be bothered with it, apply it to my hair the next day for a couple of hours 2-6, rinse off and continue with a deep conditioner and so forth. Keep on reading for details on how to make your own Henna & Amla treatment as well as the benefits !

Personal Experience: I swear by Henna because it actually works for my hair. I've seen results and I like what it does to my hair. The first time I actually saw benefits from using Henna was my third treatment. I applied a Henna treatment to my hair and after about a month I took my hair out from its protective hair styling it was nice and thick. Like my hair is thick, but my hair was extra, like where did you come from thick? So be patient when using Henna. You may not see it the first or second time, but sooner down the line the benefits will be worth it.

Product Review: Chagrin's Valley Ayurvedic Shampoo Bar

Todays product review will be on Chagrin's Valley Ayurvedic Shampoo Bar.
One Word, Awesome !! This shampoo bar was everything I hoped it would be and more. I can already tell it will become a staple in my hair regimen. I was so excited to use this shampoo bar, that I  took out my protective hairstyle I had in two weeks earlier just so  I could try it. I specifically ordered this shampoo bar because I want to move towards a more ayurvedic regimen when it comes to my hair, well for now, so I knew this shampoo would be perfect. It had a whole lot of ayurvedic herbs that I knew my hair would love as well as other butters and essential oils great for promoting hair growth!

DIY Avocado Deep Conditioner

Today's DIY is one of my all time favorites. The famous Avocado Deep Conditioner. Before I did my second big chop, I lived for this deep conditioner treatment. It always left my hair feeling soft and conditioned. In the past, I always used olive oil in my avocado deep conditioner, but because I pre-pooed my hair with castor and coconut oil over night I decided to leave the oil out. The steps and ingredients are fairly simple. I tend to use this treatment when I run out of conditioner and don't feel like spending $10 to buy another jar lol !

Let's Talk Natural Hair

Hair. Permed Hair. Straight Hair. Kinky Hair. Fine Hair. Coarse Hair. Curly Hair. Natural Hair. Hair is hair. Or is it ? Every year I reach a point in my life where I feel like doing something, extreme, different, far from average. July 2012 I had one of those moments. I big chopped my hair again for the second time. Why? Because I can. Well ok. Because I had been natural for a couple of years and although my hair was long (middle of back) & full, I feel as though I had robbed myself of really enjoying the natural hair girl experience the first time I big chopped. So I wanted to do it the second time and do it right. Im really not sure if there really is a right way to go natural but there were some things I wanted to experience like really experimenting with my tea (teeny weeny afro), following up with my homemade concoctions and really just enjoying the journey.
