Updated Product List

     So today I am going to tell you all about the products I currently used. My staples have changed. My goal is to use products that are more natural and can be found in the food oil isles at grocery stores.

The Products I Use: 

1. Olive Oil -  This oil increases blood circulation and allows you to have a healthy scalp. 
2. Water - This is key to having healthy hair. I spray my hair with water when I am styling it. Water helps remove dirt when you are washing your hair. When I have a protective style such as box braids, I make sure that I spray my scalp with water before I apply oil. It helps move the product around.
3. Jamaican Black Castor Oil - JBCO helps thicken natural hair. 
4. Tea Tree Oil - This soothes a dry and flaky scalp. 
5. Dove Nutritive Solutions Conditioner - I use this conditioner to wash my hair. It smells super good and really makes my curls pop. 
6. Eco Styler Gel - I use this to slick my edges when I have a protective style. I really like using this gel for flat twist outs. 
7. Aussie Sprunch Hairspray - I only use this spray on protective styles to keep them smelling and looking fresh. I do not use this on my natural hair. 
8. Blue Magic Organics Scalp Conditioner - I use this on wash days to add moisture to my hair. I do not use this on my scalp. After I apply this product, I seal it in with an oil. 

DIY Hair Growth Oil

Hey guys it's been a while since I have posted on this blog. I found a DIY hair growth oil recipe and I would like to share it with you.

- Castor oil
- Cayenne pepper
- Black tea
- Biotin
- Rosemary oil
- Onion seed oil
- Garlic seed oil


    I don't have the measurements but when I make the oil I will try to put an equal amount of everything. Some of the ingredients aren't liquids so here is what I will do:

1. After I gather all the ingredients, I will put an equal amount of everything in a container and close the lid.

2. Let the mixture sit for about 24 hours.

3. Put a sieve over a different container and pour the mixture in.

4. Pour the growth oil into a application bottle and you're done!

The most important thing you need for growing out 4C hair

        I have seen YouTube videos about how to grow out natural hair. I deep condition, moisturize, protective style, eat healthy, give my hair breaks, finger detangle, cut down on shampoo's and I rarely use heat. I seem to be doing everything right. There is 1 thing I am missing. That thing is patience. You can't get it from a store. Patience is the key to success and to healthy natural hair. I spend my time thinking about all the cool styles I will do when I have long hair when I should be focusing on my current length.

Different High Puff Styles

The high puff is one of my favorite go-to hairstyles. It is simple but can be complex at the same time. So today I will show you 3 different ways to rock your high puff. 1. This is the traditional high puff. You can use an afro pick to make it look bigger.

https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiDkIW14YfLAhVQ2GMKHc3oCOcQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Flucyspearls.com%2Fhow-to-wear-a-high-puff-on-natural-hair%2F&psig=AFQjCNGQW-ZLSGFFJATHoBgOC9XA8I-j6A&ust=1456105817474004 2. This style is very similar to the last one. The only difference is that the puff is on its side.

https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwitgPvO4YfLAhXHKGMKHeuLA_wQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnaturallymemedia.com%2Fnatural-hair-style-puff%2F&psig=AFQjCNGQW-ZLSGFFJATHoBgOC9XA8I-j6A&ust=1456105817474004 3. Last but not least is my favorite style. As you can see in the picture, there is a braid stretching across the front. Behind the braid there is a puff. You can also do a flat twist instead of a braid.

https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjSsIip4ofLAhVDMGMKHQxrBh8QjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.africanamericanhairstylevideos.com%2Fhigh-puff-short-hairstyle%2F&psig=AFQjCNGQW-ZLSGFFJATHoBgOC9XA8I-j6A&ust=1456105817474004 So this is all for my high puff styles. You can also do a braidout or twistout for these styles and wear it in a puff. I hope you enjoyed this post. I hope you will recreate some of these styles!
