Natural Hair & Sticking to What Works for You



1BlessedNatural: Natural Hair & Sticking to What Works for You

Hey, my blessed naturals!
Today, I wanted to talk about sticking to what works for you when it comes to natural hair. Last weekend, I ran out of Aunt Jackie's Detangling Therapy, but I used some of the Cantu Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream I had left. My hair felt completely different than when I use the Aunt Jackie's detangler as my leave-in.You all may know that I started experiencing moisture overload about 2 months ago. Even though, I couldn't figure out exactly what caused it, I'm guessing it was caused by me switching from the Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion as my daily moisturizer to the Curls Creme Brule. So, what am I saying? I'm learning more and more that it is important to stick with what works for you, especially when it comes to products.

Price for Products Above from Family Dollar

                                                        Aunt Jackie's Detangling Therapy - $5.00 (each)
                                                        Modessa travel bottle set- $2.50

If you've been following my hair journey, you know how much of a product junky I am lol, but it was worse it the beginning. Most of the time when I buy new products now, it is when I've run out of my regular ones. Also, I try to buy more than one bottle/container at a time to ensure that I have at least have 1 backup. I would suggest if you find a product(s) or technique that works for you, stick with it!

What products (homemade or store-bought) work the best on your natural hair?

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...

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...
