Kinks And Coils

A couple of days ago I was compiling a topic list and as I was going through it , I realized that I have all these topics where I share my views and recommendations but you really don't know much about my hair and I have a natural hair blog 😳 . . . Oh well , today I took out the time to talk about my naps and I figured that this would be important if you are wondering what my hair texture is and if our hair would react differently/similar to certain products. The most important thing is probably texture so I have multiple textures on my head. I have only described my hair as coily and that doesn't really tell you much because some people with looser textures describe their hair as coily. So my hair is : 3c at the nape / maybe my coils are a little looser there. I have cut a couple of curls back there because I thought that it was heat damage . I'm still not sure if my coils are a  looser 4b coil or they are actually 3c. I'm on the fence about this. 4a at the b...

Looks like I won't get to that shoulder length anytime soon , oh well. 🤷🏾‍♀ This is nothing new . As you probably know I have cut my hair before  and I have dyed my hair . So I knew that the dye was going to damage my hair but I didn't think it was going to be this bad. I was taking down my finger coils  on wash day and while I was washing my hair  I noticed something peculiar . MY COILS WERE GONE! On wash day my coils get super defined and shiny but I wasn't expecting my hair to be shiny because the dye depleted my sheen. I had already trimmed my ends and I thought that it was enough and I didn't need another trim. Oh man I was wrong. 😳 I didn't want to overreact so I dried my hair and put it in braids so that I can get a stretch . A couple of days later I was about to moisturize  my natural hair and I know that as soon as my hair touches water it shrinks and my coils get defined ,  oh but that didn't happen and when I put my hair in t...

Yeah I know that's what I also thought. Today I got you with a review about a shampoo that caught my attention. I didn't believe my eyes when I saw this. It's the glyco lemon eggs and brandy shampoo . [ INGREDIENTS : AQUA , SODIUM LAURETH SULPHATE , SODIUM CHLORIDE , COCAMIDE DEA , COCOAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE , ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOSTEARATE , PARFUM , CITRIC ACID , CI 19140 , (TARTRAZINE YELLOW) , MAGNESIUM NITRATE , METHYLCHLOROISOTHISZOLINONE , METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE , MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE , CI 15985 (SUNSET YELLOW) ] I bought it at Shoprite for R20.00 . I wasn't planning to buy any hair products , I was looking for pens and books but I saw this baby and I knew I had to give a review about this. This shampoo claims that it's for dry hair. Well I have dry hair , if I don't moisturize and my hair texture is naturally dry ,  but when I used this shampoo it stripped the life out of my hair. When I say "stripped the life" I mean that my hair felt...

I am a minimalist and a super frugal gyal. But sometimes when I am out shopping and going through the internet I see all these products and reviews and I'm like "dang , I would love to try that out" and then I see the price tag and I die a little inside. Here are some products that I would definitely try out if I won the lottery or had a rich uncle somewhere or if it was available in my country or if I wasn't so frugal.  It's not only natural hair products , it's a combination because I'm cool with using non - natural products. As long as it works then I'm cool with it. Let's just started before I go on and go . Shea Moisture. Now this hair care product line is probably the most popular EVER . When I detangled my locs every naturalista on Youtube was raving about shea moisture . It was on every YouTubers' "favourite products" video. And the reviews were mental!  I was at South Gate Mall with mommy and we were at the ...

Jambo kinks and coils 💜 I am on a health and confidence journey which is hella successful , whoop whoop 😊 . My hair used to to take a knock from the excessive sweating because it would get funky in about 2 days after wash day and I do not want to dry my hair out faster than it drys out itself by over washing it. Nah fam ✋ . As you probably know , I like super simple things and I'm frugal because I'm not outchea trying to spend my whole life savings on my hair when I can travel the world and experience it. So I incorporate super easy steps into my regimen to keep myself sane whilst I am sweating my fat away. Wear Your Hair In Braids / Twists .  I don't like over manipulating my hair anymore , so what I do is after my wash routine I put my hair in flat twits which last me the whole week and since my hair is stretched it won't shrink up because of the sweat. If you are not a fan of protective styles I suggest you braid your hair into chunky sections ...

It feels like 2017 just flew on by but we totally felt its effects  ;  Donald Trump , the natural disasters , JZ and the Cabinet Reshuffles , Lybia slave trade , Uncle Rob Mugabe finally resigning issa lot fam . However we not going to be talking about that today we are going to be doing finger coils. I promised to do this in August I know , I know 🙈 . I have  been super busy making preparations for 2018 and working out  and I didn't make time for my hair.
