Beautiful Girls

I saw these beautiful dolls recently and I must say I am very glad that Barbie has finally made dolls that exemplify different ethnic groups appropriately. Yes there has always been a black Barbie, however she always had European features and long, straight hair. I'm so glad to see that they have diversified her. It also made me smile a little to see one with dreads. (I'm Jamaican)

Protective Styling Challenge

Well I've decided that I am going to keep my hair in protective styles for the next month....ok let me not kid myself haha how about 1 week :) it's a start. I made the decision to do this because I think I am obsessing with the length of my hair. I want it to all grow back overnight and obviously that's not happening. I find myself examining my hair everyday and this is just getting ridiculous lol. So if I keep it in a ponytail or bun for a little while then I will be pleasantly surprised when I finally notice more growth. It's all mental guys haha. Does anyone have any styling suggestions?

So we'll see how long this lasts. It's been two days and I'm already itching to let it down.....

Product Review: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition vs. Sleek and Shine Conditioner

So on my quest to find the perfect products for my hair, I have been quite the PJ (Product Junkie) These two conditioners seemed to get great reviews on www.naturallycurly.com (which happens to be my go-to for everything curly) so I decided to test them out. Here are my thoughts:


GF Triple Nutrition: First off, the smell was simply divine, quite fruity. Makes you want to go make a fruit smoothie. Well, I finished a whole bottle of this stuff, so that's a good sign. I used it as a rinse out and a leave-in. Not at the same time though. I felt that it gave good slip and ok moisture to my hair as a rinse out. However as a leave-in, I felt that it was not thick enough and often left my hair frizzy when it was fully dry. I had to use a lot of it as a leave-in too. (glad that it's cheap) Would I buy this one again?? probably not.



GF Sleek & Shine: Again the smell was really yummy. It kept giving me a craving for sweets, although this is not necessarily a good thing when you're trying to lose weight lol. Anyway, I'm half way through my bottle right now. I have used this as a leave-in only. Haven't tried it as a rinse out yet. In comparison to the Triple Nutrition, it is much thicker and gave my hair much more moisture. I liked it, but I didn't love it. I still had some frizz, although not as much as with the Triple Nutrition. Would I buy this one again?? Yes, due to it being cheap and an ok fallback product.

Heavenly Delight!

Just had to share this yum-yum.....makings of a great sundae! Be jealous....

Sausages big, small and in-between

Ok well here is what I have to look forward to. This pic is from today. I pinned up my canopy so you can see the real deal lol. I absolutely love my root curl!!! I can't wait until my whole hair is filled with that lusciousness haha. You can see a huge differences in my roots and my ends. However there is zero volume because I did not plop at all. And no there isn't any relaxer on my ends, those are all from the dreaded flat iron! Anyway I changed up what I originally said I was going to do. After I rinsed out my deep treatment (3 hours later), I detangled with my Denman brush. Divided my hair into four sections and raked through and scrunched Curl Keeper and a little bit of Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Gel. I then just airdried it. I decided not to use the diffuser. Lastly, I SOTC with Coconut oil and voila.

Fighting the Frizz Factor

So today I had to stay home from work to take care of some personal business. Anyway, I decided to make use of my time and do a deep treatment on my hair. I have been battling such ridiculous frizz these past few weeks that it has me really spinning my wheels. I don't know what is causing it. I go from one problem to another with this birdsnest on my head. So I'm trying something different today. I have Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose conditioner and Coconut oil in my hair right now as I type under a shower cap and when I'm done I'm going to rake through some Curl Keeper, scrunch, add some Herbal Essences gel, scrunch, plop, pixicurl diffuse and then see if a miracle has happened. I will be sure to post a pic with the results. Trial and Error can get so expensive......

Chick Fila regrets...

So I'm laying in bed right now regretting the fact that I inhaled a chick fila sandwich and fries! Aargh what happened to me eating healthy and losing weight? I lack willpower like dogs lack fresh breath!

Curly "Afro" Pic

Now keep in mind this is the end of the day when it started to fall some and get frizzy lol.

Channeling my Inner Diana Ross

So my husband had a request that I wear my hair in a big curly afro haha. He likes that edgy look, and I kind of like it too hehe. Well anyway, I know this is a huge no-no for curlies everywhere, but I combed my hair with a wide tooth comb while it was dry and curly, and this resulted in my 'afro' lol I look like a Diana Ross wannabe and I love it! I will have to post a pic later when I get home.

Curly Girl At Last!

This is 1 month into the CG method. I've used so many different products within the last 3 months, reviews to come......
