Praise God,

What a beautiful Sunday it is today. Pray that all my viewers are indeed keeping well.

Here’s some scripture I hope will life up someone’s spirit:

Isaiah 40:31
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint.”

Hope this will encourage you as you tackle the new week.

Be blessed.

Verse of the Day

2 Corinthians 5:14-15

“For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”

There is a first time for everything, and I especially love how I can try out new things (hair related ofcourse..) and share them with you.

I made a new deep conditioner which I am very excited to try out…

Here’s how I made it… 

     

First Attempt: How I Trim My Hair

Tweet

Hey beautiful people,

So this morning, I woke up to my fav fav fav Pastor/Preacher/Minister. . Joel Osteen. I simply love listening to his sermons in the mornings as I get ready or when I’m having my breakfast.

Joel Osteen’s message or rather the last few messages I’ve been listening to have been focusing around how God can use any situation to lead you or place you exactly where He wants you to be. And the situation can be a hard situation or a tough situation to be in or it can be an absolute wonderful situation. However I want to share with you what I’ve learnt thus far… Regardless of what the circumstances are, it may be a bad medical report, poor grades in school, a relationship turned sour, we as children of the Most High God need to keep holding on the promises from God. God’s promises are nowhere close to the promises made my friends, parents, colleagues.. you name it. Our God is a Good and Faithful God who keeps His Promises.

Psalm 89:34 "No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back one word of what I said."

God has promised forgiveness: 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

All of our needs will be supplied: Philippians 4:19 "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Wisdom is one of God's promises: James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

Enjoy the video! Be blessed.

Matthew 6:14-15

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

So I’m grateful to God for this past week I learnt to embrace Forgiveness, like the Scripture above says, forgive others the same way your Heavenly Father forgives you.

There are so many times people wrong us, without even having the intention to, and some on other occasions, those that wrong us may or may not apologize, however it is within us to forgive them all.

Be blessed,

And I hope you enjoy this video my friend and I recorded.

Peace and ♥♥

 

Transitioning to Natural: Hair revealed on Video

This is my second video! Enjoy

 

Introduction: Texlaxed to Natural

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”  Proverbs 3:5-6

 

 

Hey guys,

I'm finally back, I decided that making hair videos is a lot easier than typing it all down..

Here's the beginning.

Master the Art of Detangling

Tweet

Galatians 5:17

In every believer’s heart there is a constant struggle between the old nature and the new. But although the battle is often fierce, we have a mighty helper – Jesus, the captain of our salvation. He is always with us, and He assures us that we will end up as “more than conquerors” through him. Jesus is the way.

Hello beautiful people, I’m officially back to blogging about my hair after being away for what felt like forever. It’s awesome to be back.

Now let’s get down to the nitty gritties of Detangling.

Let’s face it, learning how to detangle hair with texture or natural hair requires both patience and practice.

Damaging Effects of Excessive Heat on Hair

Tweet

A lot of women may not be aware that heat in excess has harmful effects on hair, more so for women who are of African heritage. You’re probably curious as to how and why, but I’ll break it down for you.

Before I get to the damaging effects, I’ll list a few examples in which artificial heat may be incorporated into your daily or weekly routine. ( I say artificial because this is not heat produced by our own bodies)

My Length Check Tee

Tweet

Here goes. . . I finally created  my own length check tee. YAY!!

There’s nothing better than keeping in touch with the length of your locks. A few months ago, I would pull out my measuring tape and note down just how long my hair was or how much more length I wanted. Using measuring tape is a great method however it was a little harder for me to be precise, so I went ahead and created my own tee. It’s real simple. Here’s how. .

The Secret Behind a Pre-Poo.

Tweet

Pre–Poo? What on earth is that?

Well, to start of, the term ‘pre-poo’ is short for ‘pre-shampoo’. It’s basically a treatment that you can apply to your hair prior to shampooing it. The treatment can consist of a number of things ranging from natural oils to conditioners.

Dealing with breakage at the Demarcation Line.

Tweet

First things first…What is a demarcation line?

 

A demarcation line is terminology that refers to the point at which two hair textures meet. In my case, I am currently 7 week’s post relaxer ( I say ‘relaxer’ because I texlaxed using a mild relaxer – refer to my older post titled “Ever heard of Texlaxing. . .” ). I’m slowly transitioning to texlaxed hair, so I definitely have a demarcation line, actually, I have two demarcation lines. The first being between the new growth and the texlaxed hair and the second being between the texlaxed hair and the relaxed hair. Considering I’m only 7 weeks post, my new growth is not as much, so I’m not too concerned about the first demarcation line. Either way, breakage is likely to occur at one or both of the lines if the hair lacks proper care.

 

Discover your Hair Type

Tweet

The first question that probably pops into mind is “What on earth is hair typing?” Some people may go on to ask “Is it important that I know my hair type?” or “So now that I know my hair type, what next!”

Let’s begin,

Bantu Knot Pin Up

Tweet

 

 

 

This one is my personal favorite. The day before was my ‘wash day’ (details of my wash day coming up soon), and I had on 6 Bantu Knots overnight with 3 on either side. (I’ll make a post on Bantu Knots sometime soon). I gathered the sections that were on the left side of my head, and pinned each one separately. Oh! I only use my fingers for separation. And then I just fluffed out the hair on the right side with my fingers too. There was absolutely no need for a comb with this style.



Rolled Up Hive ♥

Tweet

 

Another one of my roll ups, it kind of looks like a bun, although it’s not. With this one, I rolled up the two back sections and pinned them. I had two side sections, so I rolled them toward the middle and pinned them. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with the hair at the top of my head, so I pinned it, and it came out like this!
