The Caramel Treatment, Easier and CHEAPER!!

We've all heard of the fantastic results that this treatment can yield. I have not actually had the pleasure of making this concoction on its own, however, I sort of made it via the max hydration method. I personally, did not reach max hydration and gave up. It was too time consuming, but that's another post for another season. With that being said, I published this post 5 years ago and am just now revisiting it, checking links, making sure the images appear, etc. I tried checking out soulistic87 on eHow.com but it seems this poster is no longer active on this site. In May of this year, 2015 that is, not the year 2000, I thought I was ready for a new hair journey. Microlocks, braidlocks, jennylocks (that's what I've been calling them),  or whatever you want to call them. I took an entire week braiding my hair into these tiny braids, hoping it would deter me from taking them down in the near future. I was wrong, painfully wrong. I will now spend more time rem

Coconut & Lime Treatment

This is pretty much a conditioning treatment, didn't do much for my hair though. Well I only tried it once, so maybe I'll give a another try. Decide for yourselves.

If you have natural very curly/kinky hair, particularly 4a/b hair types, you will appreciate that it will take more heat to get ‘relaxer straight’ results when you flat iron your hair.

I want to, I thought about it..... I Just Can't

Why is it that a lot of black women can't let go of the straight look? I have had a number of women come up to me and say that they want to go natural, but they just can't do it. There is nothing hard about being natural, well except the moisture thing and once that is figured out it's easy breezy baby! I love everything about my natural hair, the ease, the carefree- ness !!

I can swim when I want, get caught in the rain, hell, I might even break a sweat and go to the gym one of these days. Just do it, just go natural ladies!! Chemical Me Natural Me
