Natural Hair Care Product Review

Here are my favorite hair care products to use:
Creme of Nature Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo
1. I loveeee this shampoo. It leaves my hair feeling soft and silky after I wash it.
Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner
2. Prior to growing out my natural hair, I used Olive Oil perms by Oraganize Root Stimulator. This conditioner was in the box. It makes your hair silky too; it also have a nice fragrance (like oranges) :-)
I like to sit under the heating cap for 15-30 minutes after applying  the Replenishing Conditioner to my hair.
Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise
3. I also use the Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise twice a month. I sit under a conditioning cap for 15-30 minutes before rinsing it out. It leaves my hair soft and managable.
Softee Coconut Oil Hair & Scalp Conditioner
4. The Softee Coconut Oil is heaven sent! I have been using this for about 8 years. I used it when I relaxed my hair. I use it to oil my scalp and ends, especially when I braid my hair.
Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil
5. I use Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil on my hair and scalp. I usually rub a little in my hands and massage it into my scalp with my finger tips. It's also great to use when your hair is wet. It seals the moisture into the strands.
Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 Miracle Worker
6. I liked this product better than the Hawaiian Silky gel activator. It leaves your hair feeling soft and conditioned. I like to use it on my hair, at night right before I braid it.
VO5 Conditioners
7. I used one of the V05 conditioners when my hair was relaxed. My hair was very hard and dry. However, I recently used this product on my transitioning hair (part natural, part relaxed) during a co-wash. Co-washing is when you wash your hair with conditioner only. I will be post more on this topic. I usually wash the product out of my hair after the co-wash. 

8. I also like Herbal Essences conditioners, particularly the "Color me happy" because I do have highlights on my relaxed hair. But I have found that this works great on my natural hair also. I like to use Shea Butter also. I usually put about 5 spoonfuls of the Shea Butter in a container with a small amount of Castor Oil. I put that in the microwave for about 10 seconds or until it softens. Then, I mix the two together. I apply it to each section of my hair and scalp after a wash.

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...

Asian Hair Trend: Afro Perms

Asian afro perm (photo courtesy of www.afrohair.net) When we talk about the topic of natural hair, we often talk about African-Americans or Black people perming their hair to look more like Caucasian or straight hair. But, what about people of other races attempting to make their hair kinky or textured like that of African-Americans? Afro perms, along with other Black hairstyles have been a long time trend in Asia. Because Asian hair grows naturally straight, the afro perm gives the hair a textured look. The afro perm is not an actual relaxer or perm kit, it's the use of perm rods to make the hair curly. The beautypot.com says, " An afro perm is made by not straightening the hair. It is made by creating hair bonds that make the hair curl. The hair stylist makes the hair into a new shape, using perming rods or rollers, and allows the new shape to develop ."

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...
