The Kinky Fro Chronicles

I suck

I haven't posted in a while because frankly....

I have nothing to post!

My hair is still in kinky twist until March and I think I might put a weave in until June and after that, back to kinky twist!

I think I might go a whole year in extensions.....

Damn.

It's been awhile since I did a hair post, so I'm going to update a bit about a new product I'm using.

As you know, I'm currently in kinky twist until March....April...hell make that July. Now, since the air is cold and dry, keeping my hair moisturized and free of buildup is a must. The last time I removed my last set of kinky twist from my hair, some parts were extremely dry and matted and that had me worried. I think it was probably due to the lack of mositurizing and cleaning. I'll admit that for the last three weeks I had the twist in, I became extremely lazy with washing and mositurizing and I paid dearly.

Never again!

I think what deterred me was not having an all-in-one product that shampoo and conditions my hair.

In the past, I was using Shakaki, Amla, Neem, Aritha, Coltsfoot, Hisbiscus,Nettle, and Sage to make herbal teas that I would use to cleanse my hair. After awhile I became extremely lazy and was turned off from the WHOLE process.

Enter Hesh Heenara.

While stocking up on my auyerda powders for my hair, I came across Hesh Haneera powder. What stood out most to me in was the ingredients: Mehendi Leaves, Maka Leaves, Shikakai Fruit, Amla Fruit (5%), Methi Seed, Narangi Chal, Neem Leaves, Kumari Leaves, Japakusum Flower, Mandoor Powder, Behda Fruit, Kapur Kachli Stem, Brahmi Leaves, Harde Fruit, Chandan, Sugandhi Dravya

How amazing is that?

I ordered two boxes and I'm going to give it a try tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

Aren't they pretty? I can't wait to wear them!

This Christmas, I *was* going to treat myself Nubar's Chocolate Truffles collection, which is a extremely gorgeous collection of chocolate polishes.

You can find reviews here:

Scrangie, my nail idol...

Clumps Of Mascara(I love her blog because I get a good idea how nail polish looks on someone with my complexion)

Vampy Varnish(I love the shape of her nails, lol)

Then yesterday I checked Scrangie's review(here) of China's Glaze Up & Away Spring collection....BIG mistake people!

OMG!

The eight I fell in love with were:

Flyin' High
Four Leaf Clover
Grape Pop

Lemon Fizz

Light As Air

Peachy Keen

To hell with chocolate! I'm ALLL about spring colors!

Also, it doesn't help that Zoya sent out their press release for their new Spring collection, Reviere as well.

I'm soooooo ready for spring polishes! I can't wait to see what Color Club and Misa has planned as well.

The life of a nail junkie :)

My hair is behaving today!!!

I love having a good hair day. My hair looks big, poofy and AMAZING! As you can see I went picture crazy this morning when I unraveled the bantu knots, I loved my hair that much!

I really can't tell if my hair has grown, only because I gave myself a trim days ago and I chopped A LOT off.

I also realized that layering Anita Grant Cafe latte under Qhem's BRBC works wonders for my crown area. My hair is soft, fluffy, and extremely moisturized.
