<br />
just like you there are one million other people out here with some of the very same things to say.<br />
<br />
Here are the top 5 reasons bloggers stop blogging.... Or at least the top 5 reasons I stopped!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. You (I) become uninspired by the thing you blog about ex) This is a natural hair blog - I ran out of things to say regarding my natural hair<br />
<br />
<br />4. You (I) don't think anyone is actually reading these blog posts.<br /><br />3. Your (my) voice is not being heard or effecting change.<br /><br />2. Coming up with new, different, exciting content that people actually care about is exhausting<br /><br />1. You (I) just needed a break!<br />
<br />
<br />
That's it in a nutshell! I just needed a break! I had no idea my "break " would be so long but it was necessary..<br />
<br />
So to go along with the ever cliche NEW YEAR - NEW ME slogan I am getting back into the swing of things and I'm blogging again...<br />
<br />
THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE'S BACK!<br />
<br />
This is no longer just a natural hair blog (srry naturalistas) this is a beauty blog! while i was gone I started a makeup business and since it is such a big part of my life I have to incorporate that part of me in these posts.<br />
<br />
get ready for metrocitycurly 2.0 the revised version!<br />
<br />
I'm excited -- c u girls later<br />

<br />
I have been scouring the internet for different challenges and I have put together a few rules that I think will help me in my hair growth..<br />
<br />
RULE #1 --- you must wear protective styles AT LEAST 5 out of 7 days of the week<br />
<br />
RULE #2 --- absolutely NO STYLING TOOLS! No combs, brushes, curling wands, blow dryers, NOTHIN!<br />
<br />
RULE #3 --- drink 3-4 bottles of water a day<br />
<br />
<br />
Rule #3 is going to b a challenge for me since I drink very little water but I am committed..<br />
<br />
I am going to come back APRIL 1st and let you guys see my length now and I then I will do a weekly check in and a bi-monthly length check.. I'm going to record any challenges or setbacks I may have and I'm gonna try to b really diligent in the products I use.... I'm writing this down so u guys can hold me accountable -- if you wanna join in just send me an email or leave a comment and I will update everyone with your name and your current hair length<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

BRAZILIAN DEEP WAVE REVISITED... PROTECTIVE STYLING... Hey Loves,<br />
<br />
Last year January I purchased and installed my first batch of hair from samegirldifferenthair and this year january I did it again! MiaRay had a bundle sale a few months before and my sweetie sweetie surprised me with two bundles of 20' and 22' Brazilian deep wave.<br />
<br />
Again the hair came in pretty simple packaging - no extra bells and whistles - but who needs it when your hair is so bomb!<br />
<br />
I decided before my install that I wanted to do things a little differently and actually ombre it myself. Lets go into that real quick..<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>Clairol BW 2 powder</li>
<li>Clairol 20vol creme developer (pure white)</li>
<li>Foil, applicator brush, gloves</li>
</ul>

<br />
I've watched some youtube videos and I convinced myself that I could do this at home without jacking up my bundles of hair and even if i did *shrugs* it isnt really MY HAIR!!! I started with the shorter already used bundles from my last install (yes I reused hair) and after I didn't jack up that hair I bleached the longer newer bundles.<br />
<br />
I'm gonna tell you where I made my mistake - the first night I went to bleach this hair I should have taken the bleach as far up as I wanted to go the very first time but instead I went back two days later and RE-bleached! I got the look I was going for but my hair is dryer than I would like. The lightest blonde is the frizziest and the driest and I've actually cut off a few inches because of it!<br />
<br />
Soooooooooo how do you like your hair??<br />
<br />
The quality of this hair is perfect for us natural girls (in my opinion) This brazilian hair has the same weight and same luster as my own hair so it makes blending a styling very easy.<br />

<br />
<br />
Have you experienced any shedding??<br />
<br />
This time around, yes! I am attributing the shedding to the color and the dry ends and not the hair itself<br />
<br />
What are you doing to combat the dry ends??<br />
<br />
I cant go as long as I did the last install without styling and/or washing my hair. I co-wash this hair more instead of using actual shampoo. I seal with argan and coconut oil throughout the week to keep the ends in check!<br />
<br />
Have you straightened this hair??<br />
<br />
Yes. Last time I had this hair in I never flat-ironed my weave but its been so cold here in NYC these last couple weeks that I dont even wanna be bothered with water and curls for a few days. I flat ironed it using the chase method and a bit of oil for the ends.<br />

<br />
How long do you plan to keep this install in this time?<br />
<br />
I dont have a take out date in mind yet but I do want to do more protective styles this year. Its already almost february so by mid march I'm sure I'll be itching for a new style - maybe even braids *gasp*<br />
<br />
Would you order this hair again??<br />
<br />
Yes! I think MiaRay and <a href="http://samegirldifferenthair.com/" target="_blank">samegirldifferenthair.com</a> have a great product so I will continue to be a loyal customer. I want to experiment with blonde for a lil while longer so my next purchase would be from another company that specializes in blonde weave hair.<br />
<br />
Going from natural black/brown hair to honey blonde and even lighter is very hard to do. I would recommend spending the extra cash and letting a professional handle that. I also wish they offered closure options -- I want to rock a straight look without having to damage my leave out -- I've nvr had one so I need to do more research before I purchase or review one for you girls.<br />
<br />
Overall, I still love my hair.. Yes it is a lil drier and it sheds but neither is unbearable. I will be rocking my hair for a lil while and I'll try to update you occasionally while I have it installed.<br />

WASH & CONDITION BASICS 101.. NATURAL HAIR HOW-TO.. <h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">AM I THE LAST NATURAL IN THE WORLD THAT DOESN'T WASH THEIR HAIR IN THE SHOWER???????????</span></h2>
<br />
I've grown up having my hair washed in my kitchen sink..<br />
<br />
Stick your head under the water and hope your momma doesn't drown you.<br />
<br />
So up until last month that was the way I always washed my hair.<br />
<br />
There are a few problems with this method -- it takes forever to get my whole head wet! IDC how many sections or how I move my head it just doesn't get the amount of water I need for the amount of hair I have and then I seem to always miss a spot! y'all have no idea how many times I've thought I was done only to find a patch still covered in conditioner #sadderday<br />
<br />
So enough was enough and I needed to get my big head in the shower.<br />
<br />
I made a trip to my favorite store (family dollar) - a local discount store - and I found the smallest mesh drain cover I could for one dollar... I AM NOT ABOUT THAT CLOGGED DRAIN LIFE!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Now there are definitely some drawbacks to washing your hair in the shower..</b></h3>
<ol><span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>The hair -- shed hairs have to go somewhere! And they do go EVERYWHERE! Gross.. Really really gross..</b></span></li>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>My shower is twice as long now... Wasted water and maybe an impatient boyfriend on the other side of the door </b></span></li>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>shampoo/conditioner in my eyes -- I might just be a clutz cuz none of the YouTube guru's ever have this problem</b></span></li>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>My whole body is wet -- OK! This sounds weird but sometimes I just wanna get in there, wash and condish and GET OUT... now I'm soaking wet, I'm wetting up the floor and I need an extra towel</b></span></li>
</ol>
<h3>
<b> In this last month I've learned some things that seem to help me out.</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<ul><b>
</b>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>START OFF WITH AT LEAST 6 SECTIONS</b></span></li>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>DEEP CONDITION B4 YOU HOP IN THE SHOWER</b></span></li>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>HAVE UR WIDE TOOTHED COMB HANDY </b></span></li>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>DETANGLE UNDER THE WATER STREAM </b></span></li>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>TWIST/CLIP/PIN HAIR OUT OF THE WAY </b></span></li>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>
</b></span>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>RE-RINSE TO MAKE SURE ALL PRODUCT IS OUT </b></span></li>
</ul>
If you need any video references naptural85 has a really good one on YouTube.. My hair seems much curlier since I've switched from the sink to the shower. Stay tuned for more HOW-TO's and BASICS 101.. PRODUCT REVIEWS and RECIPES!<br />

Since my last cut Ive grown about an inch of hair. I have enough now to slick down with some gel if I want to get fancy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the most part I wear a part down the middle and no one even notices that my hair is missing. If I decide to do a twist out or braid out I make those twists on that side smaller so after I take them out it is extra fluffy</div>
<h3>
<i><span style="color: magenta;"><br />Have you noticed any change in your hair????</span></i></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Its still to short to see my curl pattern. The left side is naturally a lot looser and more wavy than curly than the right side so I am interested to see if it will grow in curlier than before. </div>

I really don't do anything differently - no special oil, vitamins, or rituals.. its hair it will grow back!</div>

</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So y'all already know how I do -- I stash the samples for emergencies and use the full bottles.</div>
<div>
<h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></u></div>
<b><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: magenta;">Carol's Daughter Hair Milk refresher spray... </span></u></b></div>
</b></h2>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It does what it is suppose to do. I wouldn't go out on a rant and say this is the best refresher spray and I fell in love BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT it wrks! My hair was refreshed. I used this on wet hair straight out the shower as a leave-in and on dry hair - both ways wrk'd for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: magenta;">OVERALL EXPERIENCE SCORE -- B </span></u></h2>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its light and airy. It doesn't have any of the NO NO stuff in it. I believe it is curly girl friendly (don't quote me on that). It will refresh and plump up dry hair. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So why B and not an A?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't get the hype.. <b>I THINK</b> you can get the same things from misting your hair with water. <b>I THINK</b> that half of the naturals proclaiming their love for this product jst wanted a shout out on IG from CurlBox. *side eye* </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">The star of the box for me was the NUNAAT!!!!!!!!! </span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1st of all terrible name right? what the hell is a Nunaat???? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No Lie.. My hair was like curliness personified! That was my fiercest most favoritiest flat twist out ever. I got so many compliments and I got SEVEN DAY HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div>
<h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: magenta;">Nunaat Curl Activator..</span></u></div>
</h2>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I washed my hair and sprayed my new fave (review soon) and decided to give the Nunaat a whirl -- it reminds me of gel but its way too loose to be considered a gel. The fragrance is faint and it doesn't linger. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wish I could explain how it IMMEDIATELY broke down my hair and I was detangling and twisting in no time.. it was amazing!!! I will warn you not to use too much bcuz it will dry and leave a white flake -- other than that I have no complaints.<br />

BEER RINSES FOR HEAT DAMAGE.. BENEFITS OF BEER RINSESHey loves,<br />
<br />
So I straightened my hair two weeks ago and I am already back curly! I jst stuck my head under the water one morning and waited for the curls to come back..<br />
<br />

The transformation is really amazing and shrinkage is REAL! anyway, back to the point of this post. After the blow fry my hair bounced back with no straight ends but I still thought it needed a Lil something extra. I've been slacking on the DIY TREATMENTS so it was a perfect time to head to the kitchen and see what I could mix up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided on a <b><span style="color: magenta;">BEER RINSE..</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: magenta;">Bottle of beer (I used Budweiser)</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: magenta;">2 teaspoons of honey</span></b></li>

<div>
<b>YES.. BEER!</b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The hops and malt used in beer is very beneficial to any weak, damaged or lifelessness you may receive from heat.. Beer is always really good for restoring moisture, tightening up curl patterns and producing shine.</div>

So after leaving the beer in overnight (that isn't required I jst happened to fall asleep) my hair was <i>soooooooooooooooooooooooo</i> soft! I've decided that I am going bck to my weekly DIY treatments and beer rinses will be in heavy rotation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<i><b><span style="color: magenta;">Does your hair smell like beer after?</span></b></i></h3>
<div>
No.. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and you should not smell like a wine-o after!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<i>Have you ever tried a beer rinse? </i></h3>
<h3>
<i><br /></i><i>Did you see any results? </i></h3>
<h3>
<i><br /></i><i>Try it out and let me know what you think!</i></h3>

CURLY TO STRAIGHT! STRAIGHTENED NATURAL HAIR! HEAT DAMAGE????OMG! I've missed you!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its been so long --- R u still reading? Have you been checking for updates and stuff? I apologize!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!! I'M BACCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
OK LOVES!<br />
<br />
I started a new job - yay! and I'm still in school - yay! So my time has been limited. I've missed you though.<br />

<b><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">I HAVE A HAIR'FESSION... I STRAIGHTENED MY HAIR AGAIN...</span></b></div>
</b></h3>
<br />
Dont kill me! Last weekend I had a wedding to go to so I decided to bite the bullet and go have it blown out - if you were around bck in March then u may remember that was the last time my hair was straight!<br />
<br />
So it's been six months..<br />
<br />
I got another trim and I've managed to retain MOST of my length.. So yea every six months is a schedule that wrks for me.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><span style="color: magenta;">WHAT PRODUCTS DID YOU USE?</span></u></b></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Motions heat styled straight finish cleanser</span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Tresemme naturals nourishing moisture conditioner</span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Dr. Miracles Blowout foam</span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Tresemme heat tamer spray</span></b></li>
</ul>
</h3>
<br />
<div>
My experience in the salon was much different this time around and if it weren't for needing a trim and actually having some place to go I would have walked out! What is it about the non english speaking shampoo girl??? Miss I will have you deported if you yank my head wit that tiny ass comb again! And if I bring in my own products please do not try to sneak in wateva is in those mystery bottles.. Thanx!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So the blow out process was no better -- my regular girl was not there and I opted to use another lady.. She got my hair straight but it HURT! And Im not tender headed so she was really causing pain to my scalp.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Aside from the heat, the tugging and the headache afterwards my hair was actually really pretty. Its grown - I've taken pics and I'll follow up when its time to wash it!<br />

I woke up last Sunday and decided to go for it.. I've never in my life had a MAJOR haircut so this was something like a shock but I did it!<br />
<br />
I parted my hair off and headed to the barber..<br />
<br />
After it was done I sent a pic to my momma and my boo thing -- I got a thumbs up from both<br />

I immediately felt cooler, edgier, modern, dope, stylish.. I could use a million more adjectives for my new look -- I loved my big curly Fro, I love this even more.<br />
<br />
My hair is so New York..<br />
<br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
The reactions have been pretty good overall (my grandparents only freaked a lil bit)<br />
<br />
Its been so hot here in New York that Ive just been braiding or twisting the rest of my hair on the side and tucking the ends into a low bun. Even something as simple as a tuck and pin looks like a complete hairdo because of my funky cut.<br />

No.. There wasn't any damage ,however, this section of hair has a very loose pattern to it so I am interested to see if it will grow in wit a tighter curl.</div>

TIPS FOR NATURALS.. MAKE IT THROUGH THE SUMMER WITHOUT FRYING YOUR HAIRHEY LOVES,<br />
<br />
It is 1000 degrees in New York right now -- welcome summer! And with this drastic heat comes a few problems for us naturally curly girls. D-R-Y-N-E-S-S!!!!!!! DRYNESS!!!!!!!!!!!! DRYNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>DRYNESS FROM THE HEAT..</b></h4>
<h4>
<br />DRYNESS FROM PRODUCTS..</h4>
<h4>
<b><br /></b><b>DRYNESS FROM JUMPING IN AND OUT OF THE POOL..</b></h4>
<br />
So I've come up with a few tips to make it through the summer without frying your hair...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><br /></b></span>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>If you are going to the pool try to deep condition the night before -- you are going to need that extra moisture!</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>It is ok to use silicones before the pool -- silicones create a barrier making it hard for moisture to get into the hair shaft hence making it harder for the chlorine and chemicals to get into the hair shaft..</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>SHAMPOO.. CLARIFY.. Co-washing is not going to be enough to get your scalp clean after the day at the pool or beach</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Co-wash as often as you have time - our scalp sweats! This heat jst requires more water, more moisture. It may be harder to retain the moisture since the sun is basically baking our hair</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>If you can find a cute hat to fit over your curls -- WEAR IT! Again, This is about the sun baking our hair.. We wear sunblock and sunglasses but somehow forget the top of our heads. Alternatives include: scarves, bandanas, flowers</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>PROTECTIVE STYLING - cute, stylish, & gets the hair off your neck!</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Use a lighter sealant - I love jamaican black castor oil and olive oil during the colder months but those oils are way too heavy for this weather.. Try almond oil, coconut oil, argan oil instead.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>The high bun is every curly girls friend --simple style any girl can do and it gets the hair off ya neck!</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Try to avoid Heat styling -- I mean who the hell are you kidding? Our hair is naturally curly and with all the sweat and water around what is the likelihood that is going to stay straight at all???? Jst avoid the stress and damage</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST -- CHILL! Enjoy the summer!</b></span></li>
</ol>

<br />
Quick ?<br />
<br />
How do you feel about large hair care corporations like Motions and Creme of Nature who have all of a sudden become aware of the natural hair community????<br />
<br />
Am I the only natural leery of a company who profited from relaxers and perms for years and years and years and suddenly come out with a "kinky curly coily" line of hair care products...<br />
<br />
Sniff Sniff -- smells like bullshit!<br />
<br />
I haven't been natural for a long time and I haven't always paid attention to what goes in my hair - hell when I was relaxed whatever my stylist put in it or said I needed I used! no questions asked! But in my hair journey I have done my research and I have google'd and read up on all the ingredients in the popular hair care lines and it is amazing that we have any hair on our damn heads at all!<br />
<br />
So now when I see those lines like Motions, Creme of Nature, Mizani trying to make their mark in the natural hair care world I am actually insulted!<br />
<br />
Let's take these samples I received in my May Curlbox and use them as an example.<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><u><br /></u></span></b>
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><u>Creme of Nature Sunflower and Coconut Detangling Conditioning Shampoo..</u></span></b> The bottle reads; regular formula for normal hair with "certified organic ingredients" then you turn the bottle around and glance at the ingredient list<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Water </b></i></li>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Sodium Laureth Sulfate</b></i></li>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Cocamidopropyl Betaine</b></i></li>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Polyquaternium-7</b></i></li>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Gycol Stearate</b></i></li>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Polyquaternium-10</b></i></li>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Cocamide DEA</b></i></li>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Amodimethicone</b></i></li>
<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Polysorbate 20</b></i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But where the hell is the "certified organic ingredients" The list of oils and extracts starts number 15 down the list.. So you mean to tell me you have to put ALL OF THAT in my shampoo before you add any of those certified organic ingredients you are boasting about on the bottom? Why didn't you mention the science experiment you conducted before you actually got to the good stuff!</div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><u><b><br /></b>
<b>Motions "naturally you" radiating gloss with Shea Butter, Coconut and Avocado oils</b></u></span> -- sounds pretty good right?!<br />
<br />
The bottle says whether you are wearing your natural hair in tightly-coiled curls this NEW product is specially formulated to moisturize your hair with essential natural oils. OK! Cool! I'm sold!<br />
<br />
<br />

<li><i style="color: magenta;"><b>Cyclopentasiloxane</b></i></li>

I am not ANTI sulfates and silicones because they serve a purpose in your hair care regimen as well. And I understand that there is a science to formulating these products for longer shelf life and creating certain consistencies but I am ANTI BULLSHIT! Stop boasting "all-natural" "certified organic" if it is the farthest thing from natural and organic<br />

Ladies pay attention... Rant over...<br />

<br />
Jst before June gets here lemma tell y'all about my MAY CURLBOX.<br />
<br />
First things First I would have put this out two weeks ago when I got my my Curlbox for the month but there was a problem when I received my box. There was a HUGE GREASE STAIN ON THE SIDE OF MY BOX! My 1st reaction was ,of course, to blame the post office for mishandling and mistreating my stuff and I was <i>sooooooooooo</i> ready to go off but when I got home and investigated it wasn't the post office fault at all. In fact, one of my products had opened inside my sealed Curlbox and that was the cause of the slick sticky mess.<br />
<br />
So I sent an email to customer service about the mess and I expressed my frustration and within two days they had a reply saying they would replace the product and mag card for me. They also asked if every other product inside was still usable and after a quick rinse off the contents inside were perfectly fine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXOlFrh8zpNQEm9M78L40mqTKMdzCMRLstLxh0CEmU0RFc2rKtnnzttfMAaJDKPcOJcLL26xbaJ3Y6fM9FrBJL3MfSjJT77vz6sxU6U5TBu8gprRJnrouES_KR03cXS6OH0jDl9PXcux21/s1600/IMG_5325.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXOlFrh8zpNQEm9M78L40mqTKMdzCMRLstLxh0CEmU0RFc2rKtnnzttfMAaJDKPcOJcLL26xbaJ3Y6fM9FrBJL3MfSjJT77vz6sxU6U5TBu8gprRJnrouES_KR03cXS6OH0jDl9PXcux21/s320/IMG_5325.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: magenta;">SHOUT OUT TO WHOEVER HANDLES CURLBOX EMAILS AND COMPLAINTS -- U THE BEST! </span></u></b></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
NOW ON TO THE BOX..<br />
<br />
<u><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Inside I received:</b></span></u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Hair Mask </b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Creme of Nature Sunflower & Coconut Detangling Conditioning Shampoo</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Creme of Nature Lemongrass & Rosemary Leave-in Creame Conditioner</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Motions Radiating Gloss</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Lustrasilk Deep Penetrating Conditioner</b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>May Mag Card</b></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Now the only thing I've tried so far is the Lustrasilk D.P. Conditioner and I'm still on the fence about it so let me try it a few more times and I will get back to you dolls about it.<br />
<br />
I've tried the Carol's Daughter Monoi before and that entire product line is great so that will stay in my stash until I really need that extra treatment for my hair.<br />
<br />
I am going to write an entire post on the relaxer brands like Creme of Nature and Motions jumping on the natural hair - "natural" ingredients bandwagon so I will reserve my opinion on those products in a later post.<br />
<br />
All in all I have to say that this May Curlbox was jst OK! I'm not raving about anything and I haven't fallen in love with anything.<br />
<br />
We can try again next month..<br />

I have been loving this styler for my twists and twist outs and braid outs.. It leaves my hair super soft and supple with no crunch! This product is absolutely no good if you are looking for hold - its jst not that type of product but if you mix it wit a Lil Eco then your problems are solved. It has a nice clean scent to it - not too perfumey which is awesome!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><br /></b><b>2nd.. 3 SISTERS OF NATURE SWEET BOUNCE BACK: Elongates curl, softens & moisturizes</b></span></h2>
<br />
Now I stumbled across this product on a whim one day and I decided to try it... and the thing about it is on the bottle it says "Compare to Miss Jessie's super sweetback treatment" if any of you girls have been natural long enough then you have probably heard about Miss Jessie - that was really the first product line i ever tried on my natural hair. If you've tried it then you knw that it is <b><i>SUPER EXPENSIVE</i></b> wit a bunch of <b><i>CRAP ASS INGREDIENTS!</i></b><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: magenta;">Honestly Miss Jessie's is all HYPE - DON'T WASTE YA MONEY!!! IT IS EXPENSIVE CRAP!!!</span></i></b><br />
<br />
But bck to 3 sisters..<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>All natural product containing no alcohol; no waxes; no silicones; no petrolatum; no mineral oil, no parabens; no formaldehyde; no carbomer; no gimmicks and no hype!!!!!!!!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>It was $11.99 for 8oz</li>

I have been using this product for my wash-n-go's.. The Mr. Mr. loves my hair in a w-n-g so I try to oblige him sometimes. This product gives me <u><span style="color: magenta;">GREAT DEFINITION! </span></u>It clumps my hair together like nothing else I've ever used! I don't even need gel when I use this stuff - It is <i>amazinggggggggggggggg. </i>In comparison to Miss Jessie's and 3 SISTERS the only thing comparable is the bubble gum pink color and smell - THAT'S IT! I freaking love this product!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><br /></b><b>3rd.. 3 SISTERS OF NATURE ONCE A WEEK NOURISHING TREATMENT</b></span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again the bottle says "compare to Miss Jessie's rapid recovery treatment" and again they got it right! Hell the remix is better than the damn original. This stuff is all natural as well and it was $11.99 for 8oz</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The deep conditioner has a very thick and creamy consistency - I've used it alone and with my homemade yogurt mix and both left my hair feeling like butta baby..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><br /></b><b>4th.. ELASTA QP DPR-11+ deep penetrating remoisturizing conditioner</b></span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This deep treatment conditioner is <b><i><span style="color: magenta;">THE TRUTH!!!!</span></i></b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I will say that<b><u><span style="color: magenta;"> THIS IS NOT AN ALL NATURAL PRODUCT</span></u></b> but the natural oils and extracts are so high up on the ingredient list that I'm not bothered by the other stuff in it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love it! I've used this when my hair has been screaming for wash day and i either don't have the time or am being lazy and this stuff gives my hair the moisture it needs. All i do is spray my hair with water and work in the magic.. I have left it in all day and went to school, I have used it under a plastic bag for a few hours, I have even done a quickie rinse jst to wake my hair up. CRACK IN A BOTTLE </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><br /></b><b>5th.. OKAY 100% COCONUT OIL</b></span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I haven't made it to whole foods to pick up any coconut oil so I was super excited when I saw this in my beauty supply. Its coconut oil - love in a damn bottle plain & simple! Now that the weather is getting warmer I prefer coconut oil over olive oil bcuz it is a lighter oil and olive oil seems to weigh my hair down in the warmer months.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A dab will do ya. I seal my ends and rub this through my hair after it has been cleaned and conditioned. My hair is soft and shiny for days after this stuff</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I didn't own any Inglot cosmetics so I was very happy to see them at IMATS. All of the colors are extremely pigmented and the cool magnetic palette keeps them secure.. The best find was when we went back around the second time and discovered these new lipsticks - they go into a magnetic palette as well and they can be mixed and matched for custom colors! </div>

I picked up some pigments from Naked Cosmetics -- 2 tubes with 6 pigments a piece -- all different colors.. The box comes with instructions on how to use these pigments so I will try my best not to make a big ass mess whenever i do use them. The coolest part about pigment is you can use them any way u like eyeshadow, eyeliner, nail polish, lips, temporary hair highlights or bronzer o_O who knew???</div>

LOL! Up until yesterday I store all of my makeup in a shoebox -- don't judge me! I originally had one of those makeup gift bag things and all of my stuff was in there THEN I outgrew that so I had everything in a shoebox NOW I am officially official and I have a real case! </div>

It opens up with side compartments and one really deep bottom compartment -- its super cute with the sparkle on the outside - it came with a set of keys so i could lock it up and it was only 50 BUCKS!!!!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both offer protection from heat for temperatures up to 450 degrees -- its very hard to review a heat protectant considering I never straighten my hair before and I would have to compare the results to not using any protectants on my hair (NOT HAPPENING) I can say they worked for me during this blowout flatiron process and if you wanna try them plz be mindful that every one's hair is different </span></div>

BANTU KNOT OUT PICTORIAL.. CURLBOX PRODUCTSHEY LOVES,<br />
<br />
<br />
Its been a week since I've been to the salon and my hair is still LAID FOR THE GODS!!!!!!! I was so worried about my edges betraying me before Easter Sunday that I borrowed a flat iron from my little cuzzin -- i didn't use it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Before church...</div>
<br />
I kept my hair wrapped unless I was going outside. It was soooooooooooooo hot in that chuch that I have been rocking a ponytail since Sunday afternoon. The Mr. Mr. even commented that I was looking like a joint with my pony -lol!<br />

After church.. ponytail</div>
<br />
<span id="goog_141385662"></span><span id="goog_141385663"></span><br />
<br />
As far as my hair is concerned it still feels smooth and silky -- I haven't seen any LIL bits of hair in the sink and I've been staying away from styling tools as much as I can considering straight hair needs to b combed<br />
<br />
IN THE MORNING..<br />
Every morning I've put on a lil of my oil mix to the outside and the length of my ponytail then use my boar brush to smooth any fly aways<br />
<br />
AT NIGHT..<br />
Every night before bed I tie my hair up with a scarf and cover it with my bonnet in case my scarf slips off<br />
<br />
STYLING..<br />
After the initial salon bounce wore off I was rocking a ponytail - very low maintenance and I wasn't really worried about my edges reverting at this point. I decided to try a Bantu knot out since my hair is stretched..<br />

STRAIGHTENED NATURAL HAIR.. BLOW OUT! FLAT IRON!<span style="color: magenta;">I DID IT!! I FINALLY DID IT!! I HAD MY HAIR PROFESSIONALLY STRAIGHTENED!! </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
*gag sigh & faint*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know this comes as a shock to most of you -- hell it is a shock for me too -- but its done and I'm happy about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've been thinking about it for a few weeks and today I decided to bite the bullet and just do it! I haven't had straight hair since<i> *jeopardy music*</i> I cant even remember! Its been that long.. And the last time I put any type of heat on my hair was back in July for my birthday </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
July 2012</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had a weave in and I let my stylist blow it out for me so of course she had to blow my leave out too! I stay away from heat -- until today </div>
<h3>
<br />THE PROCESS...</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I applied my deep conditioner before I left for the salon.. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2hrs later it was time to wash & condition. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am the neurotic kind of customer that brings her own products and I'm like <b><i><span style="color: magenta;">"UH_HUH Don't put That in my HAIR!!"</span></i></b> I've been there enough times that the shampoo girl doesn't talk about me anymore</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the conditioner she went to detangle my hair and y'all </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>*side eye*</i> I wanted to slap the pee out of her!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like.. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="color: magenta;">MISS DO YOU SEE ALL THIS HAIR???? </span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="color: magenta;">DO YOU THINK THAT LIL ASS COMB IS GONNA GET THROUGH ALL THIS HAIR????</span></b></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She lucky she don't speak no English!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had her apply my Dr. Miracles Blow Out Foam heat protectant that I received in this month's CURLBOX and she rolled my hair with those magnetic rollers.. </div>

I had her turn the blow dryer down to medium and I only allowed her to blow the roots. I got a trim and then she let me go!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All in all I am very happy with the way my hair turned out. Will I go back on a regular basis and let them blow my hair out??? <b><span style="color: magenta;">HELL NO!!!!!!!! </span></b>I love love love love my curly fro and all that heat can not b good for any one's hair -- relaxed or natural!</div>

There are A LOT of bald headed Spanish women too!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Spanish girls wear weaves and get relaxers too!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Natural hair is some form of leprosy in a beauty salon -- you would think they never saw a head of curly hair</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The health of your hair is nvr discussed or taking into consideration -- everyone gets the same hot ass dryer, hot ass blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron and pins -- UNLESS you specify otherwise </div>

I washed, conditioned and detangled and proceeded to style.<br />
<br />
A finger coil is basically taking a small section of hair and twirling it around your fingers to create a coil.<br />
<br />
Now I had never done finger coils so I wasn't sure what to expect - I would say I have about medium length hair and it still took my <b>3 HOURS</b> to coil all of my hair <i>*side eye*</i> yea.. <b>NVR AGAIN!</b><br />
<br />
<b><i>ANYWAY.. </i></b><br />
<br />
Beautiful Textures - Curl Definer Styling Custard for mixed textures (curly, wavy, kinky-Colly, frizzy)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGLnuMMUmUehOObEPM2iFcf6-eAAAGqjonZ-NbfdJVLGYktimnqc9_fGaW12rkgZMZ_8V6wabBfsdgaUt6G9zGDGTHN0sQOzMvT6LVvxfhYPA56N-rqkESrluXtsQM1e6mgGVVEX-Tump/s1600/IMG_4500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><i><span style="color: magenta;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGLnuMMUmUehOObEPM2iFcf6-eAAAGqjonZ-NbfdJVLGYktimnqc9_fGaW12rkgZMZ_8V6wabBfsdgaUt6G9zGDGTHN0sQOzMvT6LVvxfhYPA56N-rqkESrluXtsQM1e6mgGVVEX-Tump/s320/IMG_4500.jpg" width="239" /></span></i></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: magenta;">"Achieve amazing manageability and styling versatility for the curly, wavy, kinky-coily, or frizzy hair. Get soft defined curls, bodacious bouncy spirals, and smooth silky tresses while nurturing natural growth of mixed textured hair"</span></i></div>
<br />
The Styling Custard has a very loose jelly like consistency. It smells good but the smell is a little overwhelming -- luckily the smell doesn't linger. It reminds me of the Kinky Curly Custard - same clear jelly type stuff.<br />
<br />
Y'all already know that I am a ingredient conscious natural and I will say I was pleasantly surprised by the ingredients. There is water, aloe leaf extract, ginseng root extract, olive oil, mango butter, nut oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein and some other not so bad stuff in this product. Towards the bottom of the list you will find some gycols and polysorbates but all in all it isn't the worst product you can use on your hair.<br />
<br />
As far as styling is concerned -- <b><span style="color: magenta;">THIS PRODUCT WORKS!!!!! MY CURLS WERE POP'N!</span></b> The jar says: <i><span style="color: magenta;">"Attain the ultimate moisture, definition and curl control"</span></i><br />
<br />
Did I like the finger coils?? <i><b>EH--NOT SO MUCH...</b></i> But I still had excellent definition. My hair wasn't frizzy and it didn't shrink up as much as it normally does. I ended up pulling the coils apart and jst slicking my hair back for a ponytail on Sunday.<br />
<br />
I'm going to use this product again with a different style and I'll show you girls the results in another post.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pics from Instagram - LATA!<br />

I loved the definition</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My hair was not crunchy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm taking off for the very perfumed smell</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It gets points for less shrinkage & frizz but I still have to take off bcuz the style didn't quite work out </div>

I saturated my hair completely with water and applied the mix in sections. After my entire head was covered I put on a plastic cap so it wouldn't dry out. Wait 30mins and RINSE!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After rinsing out the clay my hair felt clean.. REALLY CLEAN!! Not squeaky stripped clean but like there is no junk left on Ur hair clean (does that make sense) A reset button for my hair!<br />
<br />
I followed up with mixed chicks leave in and EVOO.. My hair felt super soft - the curl definition was amazing and since I've used this mask my hair has felt really moisturized!!!!<br />
