Drool worthy manicure....

Deborah Lippmann- Don't Tell Mama

The accidental hairstyle.

See that Kool-aid smile? My friends, that's the smile of a woman who LOVES her accidental hairstyle. I took my cornrows out last night and kept most of the parts which I then braided and attached to each part. The bang area gave me an issue, but once I attached that braid to the other side? Perfection! I can't wait to rock this in the summer.

A new...love?

As you know, I've been taking ayurvedic approach to hair care due to the weaken state of my fine strands. Well last night, I added a teaspoon each of brahmi, maka, amla, JBCO and fenugreek to my rhassoul clay mixture, slapped on a plastic cap and relaxed for 2 hours.

As I'm washing the mixture out of my hair, I can't help but notice how strong and incredibly soft my hair feels. I'm not sure if its because of the JBCO or the herbs themselves, but I was able to gently run my fingers through my hair with no snags. After adding a dollop of Yes To Cucumbers(I need to stock up) and detangling with my trusty TT, I plaited my hair and sealed my ends with JBCO.

and BOY is that baby thick as hell! A capful was all I needed, yikes! My hair feels better, it definitely looks better, and I'm happy with the results.

I can't wait to see what my hair looks like with continuous use.

Sidebar: I need to restock on the following items: Avocado butter, ALL the ayurvedic herbs, YEs to Cucumbers and JBCO. It's on like donkey kong!

Some background information....

Recently, I purchased a bottle of Jamaican Black Castor Oil from my favorite e-tailer.

Due to an unfortunate mishap, my order was sent to another customer and I was sent her order by mistake. Thankfully, the vendor was very accomodating and stated that I can keep the items and she would send my original item immediately.

Yesterday, I went to the post office to retrieve my packages and imagine my surprise that I not only received my JBCO but the mistaken items were Bhringraj oil AND Brahmi oil...the MINERAL OIL FREE versions!

That hair gods are smiling down on me right now!

So not only do I have the powders on hand, but I have the oils as well...FOR FREE!

It's on like Donkey Kong....

No words needed.

Jamican Black Castor Oil

I'm battling a headache due to lack of sleep, but here is a quick post about a new item in my quest to retain healthy hair. This is Tropical Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I ordered a 8oz bottle this week and hope to have it by next week.




Uses

• mix with Vatika Oli for pre-poo
• on my thinning edges
• mix w/ regular castor oil to seal
• add a teaspoon to my rhassoul clay deep treatment.

Me and JBCO are going to be the BEST of friends...

Hair.

I like this style...sometimes. However, I don't have the luxury to be picky so, this is the style I'm sticking with.
