     Sooo... this post comes so many years (10 to be exact) after I've had much time for reflection on my decision to go natural. I know I've explained to family members, clients and close friends my reasons, but I have never had the opportunity or rather thought it necessary to share this in an open forum. Well here you go!  In a nutshell... One day it just clicked, why do I continue to

If you a looking for a shadow guaranteed to show up and show out, look no further. The NYX Ultra Pearl Mania shadows have arrived and ladies, they are taking no prisoners! I had the pleasure of bringing few of these super pigmented beauties home with me, after discovering them at my local beauty supply store. Orange Zest Pearl, Yellow Gold Pearl, and Jade Pearl. I first tried out the Jade

So I know how intimidating and confusing styling natural hair can seem. It also can become quite expensive if you get on that product junkie kick! But I digress.... I found a simple, braid-free, twist-free, heat- free style that you should be able to manage on your own, even with the smallest of skill levels. This style should last you about a week, with proper maintenance, and take you only 1-2

Sometimes the only way to be become an expert or just more experienced with something is just by jumping in and doing it... I had every supply and prep item that I could think of, set and ready to dye my hair this ravishing magenta red color, but after completing the process I definitely see areas where improvements can be made. With that being said; I certainly liked how the color turned out (

For the past two months or so I've been trying to maintain a protective style regimen. There are two main reasons for this: one is because of what I call the "awkward" phase/length that my hair is at. The other is because I am planing on making a drastic change that will affect the state and possible health of my hair. Color.  Yes, I'm going to take that plunge and jump into that daring feat of

You have to excuse me for my delay. It's been a busy couple of weeks and I have been away from my computer quite a bit, not to mention completing my finally protective style took me some time. I'm definitely feeling it. I have always flirted with the idea of have locs, and this lets me explore that notion completely, but this definitely is time consuming, particularly if you have been

And for my next style, I present to you... my curly latch hook crochet weave! I actually saw this style on You Tube (thanks Blkbuttaflies & Toysvoice!) and knew that I had to try it. The hair I used is the Freetress bulk Water Wave TP 1B/30. Before I installed the hair, I gave myself about a week and a half break and just wore my natural hair in a braidout. Then right before I put the weave in

Cheriehappynapps.blogspot.com So I have concluded that it is time for me to take down the Duby-weave. Not because I don't like how it looks, don't get me wrong, I love it and so it seems the same for everyone I know. Only because I am soooo not used to, not being able to get to my scalp...I mean REALLY get to it. I washed my scalp and the weave about a week ago, but I wasn't satisfied with

Okay I am officially ready and set to roll into my 90-day challenge for healthier hair! In an effort to encourage a healthy growth and give my textured tresses as well as my hands a break, I have decided to take on a 90-day challenge of protective hair styles, infused with a lot of deep conditioning (DCs) and Protein treatments in between. I am going to attempt to leave in a style for about month

At some time or another I believe everyone experiences hair breakage. In some instances its severe, and in others it can be pretty minor, but whether you are at either end of the spectrum one fact remains the same: it sucks big time. After the damage has been done many wonder: what, if anything, can I do about it? Well for starters let me say that unfortuantely there is no magical cure, hair

I realized I never really took the time to look at this issue around me. When I first did the big chop, I did find many guys to be even more appreciative of the look I had, but it didn't seem to be a big deal. In my day to day life now, I have noticed that I get far more compliments on my curly locs from my white counterparts as a whole (male and female), I feel this is mainly because they

Okay, I got this question earlier today, and when I first went natural and even more so before when I was relaxed, I definitely struggled with this. I came across a few things in my research back then, and came across some tried and true more natural, wholesome remedies. One of my favorites, that worked the best for me, was the rosemary and olive oil mixture. It was pretty easy to put together
