Creative Braiding

Creative Braiding

I decided to start braiding my daughters hair more often, I never did it before because I didn't know how and her hair is really difficult to catch. Her hair is very fine and this time and blow dried her hair, which I think made it more difficult to catch. Plus I started letting my nails grow, so I had to figure out how to braid with nails. In all I think I came up with something creative and unique.

Plant Nursery Freeport, Bahamas Lucayan Nursery

noreply@blogger.com (innerbeauty) — Fri, 10 May 2013 15:35:00 +0000

My son had a field trip to visit Lucayan Nursery, a local plant nursery. I almost forgot and decided to go with the class last minute. The idea was for them to go there and pick up flowers for their moms for Mother's Day. These pictures only show a small portion of this place, it's huge, they have flowers, palm trees, fruit trees, vegetables and more. I've purchased a few plants here my self it's just a nursery but it's still a beautiful place to get plants from in Freeport.

This was my view a few Sundays ago at a relatives home, my country it's so beautiful. Sometimes we often forget to enjoy the treasures we have at home. This isn't my view, I was just visiting a relative. Took my kids fishing by the canal, they caught one fish, and so did their cousins. I't was a lovely Sunday afternoon.

I Recommend The ORS Professional Relaxer Normal Strength

noreply@blogger.com (innerbeauty) — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:03:00 +0000

When I decided to go natural I swore I wouldn't relax my hair again, but I gave in and broke my promise. When I did decide to relax my hair and wanted to do it with something that was as natural as possible and wouldn't damage my hair.
I found out all the information I needed to know to have long healthy relaxed hair. So I purchased the Phytospecific Relaxer and relaxed my hair with it a total of about 3 times, and once with the No-Lye Ors Relaxer. I got better results with the phytospecific relaxer, but both left my hair dry, but strong, perhaps because they where no-lye. In the end I decided to just go back natural, out of fear of not finding the right stylist that would treat my relaxed and new growth with the care it needed.

Phytospecific Relaxer

Ors No Lye Relaxer

I Recommend ORS Professional Relaxer In Normal Strength

If you are able to find a hairstylist that applies relaxers well and knows about how delicate black hair is then this is a great relaxer. I decided to relax my hair with the No Lye in the box, but this is better if you know what you are doing. You either need to be a professional, have professional knowledge about applying relaxers or done your homework. As simple as not rinsing the relaxer from your hair enough times can ruin your hair. I've used this relaxer on several clients hair and I recommend this.

I'm not completely against relaxers anymore, I think once you have a better understanding of the dangers and how to use it properly. Then you reduce the danger of damaged hair, follicles, risk of burns to your skin and overexposure.

What I Truly Like About This Relaxer

Once you apply the pre creme base to protect your clients scalp, and you apply very quickly if your client doesn't burn easy they won't have any burns. However for people who have at least one area that burns easily or very sensitive scalp you have to do the sensitive areas last. I did someones hair with this who has very sensitive scalp, afterward she had areas that where uncomfortable. We greased those areas, and she greased her scalp at home and she was fine. I don't recommend this relaxer if you have very sensitive scalp though, you don't know what the long term affect would be. I did notice that over time through her caring for her hair more, treatments, wrapping her hair up at night and moisturizing her hair. That her once difficult to manage hair, was easier for her to comb, and her new growth wasn't as difficult to manage. I also notice that with other clients hair, that their hair wasn't breaking, or shedding as easily. As the new growth came in it was easier to manage.

Natural Hair Inspiration It's The Weekend April 5th, 2013

noreply@blogger.com (innerbeauty) — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:23:00 +0000

The look for today was created by me, I did the style on my nieces hair that is relaxed, but her roots hadn't been relaxed in awhile. I used by Sedu Flat Iron to create these beautiful flips. She was used as a model in my hair album that I created for cosmetology school. I loved the way this look came out and I didn't have to use spritz to form these curls. I just put a little ampro style gel to hold the side of her hair.

New Polish Colors

noreply@blogger.com (innerbeauty) — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:02:00 +0000

I picked up a few new colors while I was in Walmart, never used this brand but its called Wild Shine. They were really cheap like $2 or or less. I also got the Nutra Nail speed dry top coat. I'm not wearing any polish now not even on my toes, I'm like so lazy. I know these colors aren't spring colors, but they are my fav's. I can't afford to buy the organic polish in different colors so I have to keep a stash of colors around for when I go out.

Now I just have to decide which one do I pick????

Saga Remi Remi Hair Wig I Made with Wand Curls

noreply@blogger.com (innerbeauty) — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 14:27:00 +0000

My saga remi wig hair has lasted me a long time, but the hair started to have a lot of split ends and is very frizzy.

I have a event to go to on Saturday, so I decided to bring life back to the wig by using my new Remington wand I picked up from Walmart.

So after alot of practice and interruptions I was still able to come up with something fierce. I used ampro marcel curling wax, to get rid of the frizz, split ends and to hold the curls. Then when I finished curling the hair all over, I sprayed it with my motions light holding spritz.

My First Impression of This Wand

It gets really hot, curls super quick and creates awesome curls. It has digital buttons to adjust the temperature that I like, you can lock the temperature, so that you don't keep adjusting it. An unlike my Sedu Flat Iron that I have had for almost 4 years now, it has a swivel cord.

Chi Straight Guard Blowout Type 4 Natural Hair Review

noreply@blogger.com (innerbeauty) — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 18:46:00 +0000

I still use Fantasia Ic Hair Polisher Heat Protector Straightening Serum on my hair and everyone else hair that I do. I decided that since I blow dry my hair at least once a month, I wanted to try a liquid blow dry cream. So the hunt is on, I have at least two other products in my wish list on Amazon that I will be trying. However, I decided to try the Chi Straight Guard Smoothing Styling Cream first.

How I Used It

I applied it to my wet/damp clean natural hair, and proceeded to blowdry my hair as usual. I usually use the Giovanni Leave In Conditioner followed by the Fantasia Ic Heat Protector which

works fine.

What Was My Results

I thought that since this was a liquid protectant that it would leave my hair smooth and silky. Also that it would cut out the need for me to apply a leave in then a heat protectant. I didn't like it, it made my hair dry. I usually use the high heat setting on my dryer, but my hair still doesn't get that dry with the Giovanni Leave In.

Conclusion

This product has a strong masculine cologne sent, it didn't work for my hair as a blowout. I'm thinking about using it when I flat iron my hair, but it is a liquid, so applying this to my hair when it's dry doesn't make much sense. I may have to just use it as a leave in heat protectant to get my money's worth.

Thinking about trying this product, or maybe you've tried it before, leave your comments below. I'd love to here about your experience.

Natural Hair Inspiration It's The Weekend February 15th, 2013

noreply@blogger.com (innerbeauty) — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:10:00 +0000

I decided to straighten my hair with a hot comb so that I can get my ends straight as possible. I wasn't going for that bone straight look with my own hair, because I know that's not possible. I just wanted it soft enough to put in three sections to create this style. Then I used the Sensationnel Jumbo braid to create this twisted updo all over.
