Detangling Your Transitioning Hair

This is my hair after a wash/ co-wash. It looks tough, but not
so bad with a little  patience :-)
.
I use a wide-tooth comb to detangle my hair. It is best to only detangle your natural hair/transitioning hair when it is wet. This is to ensure that there is little to no breakage.



Braid-Out: In this pic, I created two sections where my bang would be, 2 on the side, and 5 in the back
*Disclaimer: This post was written in 2011 when I was transitioning from relaxed to natural hair.You don't have to use all of the products I used, but the below methods are what worked for me at that time. 

Here is how I detangle my hair
& braid-out
1. Use a wide-tooth comb to part your hair into 6 or 7 sections
2. Start with one section in the front, and comb your hair beginning at the
tips and work your way up to the roots.
3. I usually add my Shea Butter mixed with Castor Oil. I put a finger full in my hands,
and rub them together. Apply the mixture to the outside of your section and
then massage it through your scalp and hair (focusing on your ends). 
4. Apply a small amount of Softee Coconut Hair and Scalp Conditioner to your
Scalp and on your hair.
5. Apply a small amount of Hawiian Silky 14 in 1 Miracle Worker throughout
the section that you are working on.
6. Braid the section in a single braid
7. Roll the end of the braid around your finger, and continue to roll the
braid up to your scalp.
8. Secure with a hair pin.
9. Let your hair air dry.
I will soon post a picture of my results.
Stay tuned!
Thanks for visiting :-)

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
