I hope you enjoyed your weekend

Hello Natural Beauties,

I hope you ladies weekend was great, its Sunday the beginning of the week and its time to get back to school or work for me its both, before we start the rest of our week off great I want to share with you all my weekend events. I had a great weekend it was filled with so many activities. Friday, I had to for the last time before it gets really cold put some ribs and chicken on the grill. Yes your girl can throw down in the kitchen lol.

I was every Thankful for the first time ever I was able to see my favorite gospel group, my girls Erica and Tina better known as Mary Mary. That was the best concert I ever been to in my life, I was so humble to be there and I really want to see them again.

 Even though I'm 20 years I can still act like I'm 5 years old, I feel that's how you keep from looking old is to always find time to have fun, laugh, smile and just enjoy life. Anyways, Saturday I was able to attend my cousin's 4 birthday party at this jumping places (I forget the name). Seeing all my little cousins and the other kids playing, I was wishing out loud that "man I wish I was kid again so I can climb and slide down the stuff" and one of the staff like adults can get on too. That all I needed to hear, I pulled out my socks (don't ask why I had socks in my purse lol) and went paid my money to play and it went from there.

Now all of the fun is over its time for me get back to the school work and work. Before all that I just have to get up and go to Church which was great and moving for me. I have been apart of New Mountain Top Baptist Church, Pastor Dr. A Reginald Litman since I was 15 and I love my Church and Pastor. That was my weekend and I started my week off right so I hope you all have a bless week, I will be having more post and videos coming this week.

Love You,

Protective Styles

Protective styles is a major step in having healthy hair. As I sit here and write this post my hair is in a protective style. I'm fan of wigs in the fall and winter time, just under those wigs my hair itself is twisted up, dripping with grape seed oil, and wrap in saran wrap. Yes this is my way of keeping my ends moist while I wear my wigs.

When I think about protective styles, what comes to mind is tucking away your ends to protective them from any forms of damage such as heated weather or cold weather. The ends of your hair is the oldest hair then hair from your roots. You want to protective those ends to keep from having split ends that would lead to breakage. I know I don't want my hair to break off and I know for sure you don't want your hair to break off either ladies so keep your ends protective.

Here are some pictures of my protective styles and just some random pictures of different ladies:

Everyone have a Great Weekend

Top 10 Tips on Transiting frorm Relaxed to Natural

I have been asked questions on how or what I was doing personal for my hair when I was transiting from relaxed to natural. I came up with my 10 tips to share with you all, I hope these tips can help you ladies out the same way it has helped me so, here they are:

1. Big Chop or Grow your hair out, You can either chow off your hair or just grow your hair out completely. 
2. Be Gently, PLEASE take it easy on your hair do not be rough with your hair unless you don't want any.
3. Protective Styles, If you don't feel like dealing with your own hair do braids, sew-in, or wear a wig.
4. Moisturize, If you are transiting from relaxed to natural moisturize once a week or once every 3 weeks no more then month but if you are completely natural then moisturize 2 to 3 times a week.
5. Products, I only used one product when I was transiting but when I became fully natural I had to change products until I found the right one which I used for almost 2 years but I stop using it to so I can start my journey of just using all natural products.
6. Research, Do your research so you can be able to know what products would work for your hair and what to look out for.
7. Curl Patterns, You will not be able to determine your curls right away because your relaxed ends are weighing down your natural curls so once you become fully natural your naturals curls will pop and you will love it.
8. Take in your own natural beauty
9. Health, DO NOT focus more on the length of your hair but, more on the health so you can have longer hair. 
10. Be Patient  

I do hope these tips were helpfully, I went into full details in my video so check it out and feel free to share your tips as well.
