Natural Hair Regimen Changes: Denman Brush & Creme of Nature Perfect Edges Gel Review

1BlessedNatural: natural hairstyle using bobby pins 

Hey, my blessed naturals!
I've missed you all!  My natural hair regimen has changed quite a bit in the last 2 months and I wanted to give you an update on it!

First off, I started using the Denman brush again because my hair had been tangling too much. When I trimmed my ends on January 22nd, I had a crazy amount of single stand knots (SSKs), and I realized it was because I haven't been detangling my hair thoroughly. My wide-tooth comb alone just wasn't doing the job.

I detangle with the Denman brush 2-3 times a week, especially before twisting my hair for a twist-out. Since I've been doing that, I've noticed that my hair is a lot healthier. The Denman brush also helps to smooth out my hair so my twist-outs look better and more defined. I purchased the Denman brush for about $15.00 from Sally's Beauty.



The Denman contains about 7 rows of teeth. You can remove some of the rows of teeth if you don't like the full grip of the brush on your hair.

Also, if you've seen my Instagram page, you might know that I also started using the Creme of Nature Perfect Edges edge control gel. When I first opened the jar, I thought that the smell was a bit strong but once I applied it, it was fine.

 I love it because it holds my hair for a long time. I've tried about 3 edge control gels and none of them work like the Creme of Nature gel. It lasts throughout the day and doesn't flake. I found that it absorbs into my hair and scalp by the end of the day, so I don't have to wash it out like a holding gel.

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...
