MY TRIM/ DUSTING OF MY NATURAL HAIR .

I've shown a couple of videos were I demonstrate how I trim my natural hair. I don't trim my ends for a desired shape, but rather the feel of my hair . I can tell if my hair needs some attention when it's dry to the touch . I run my fingers down the length of a section of hair. As my fingers approach the ends, the smoothness and feeling of the hair changes, and shows where the ends show signs of wear , tear and single strand knots. My hair has always had single strand knots. It's the nature of my coils, to wanna get freaky and tie each other up.  I lightly dust/trim my ends every other month . This doesn't cancel out the retention, but it improves the overall feel and look of my hair, especially when wearing my hair in twists and twist outs. This is the amount that I dusted off. The last dusting was OVER 3 months ago. If you look closely (near the far left) you can see some of the single strand knots (aka fairy-knots)

WEEKEND NATURAL HAIR

The weekend is the time I like to be carefree, and without the wigs  and lace fronts. I shampoo and deep condition my hair weekly, and my tresses love me for it. Although Im wearing my natural hair, I find that if my hair is in two strand twists, I tend to wear it pinned away. I think I will rock a twist out for one day and then go back to wearing my wigs for shear convenience.  What is your hair care routine for your natural hair and or while wearing wigs or lace front wigs?

I can't help but LOVE Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks. The creme formulation is very -moisturizing with comparable pigmentation of MAC lipsticks for the fraction of the cost ($5.50- $7.00). These are two to add to the collection. To the (left) Mauvy Night, (Right) Rose Velvet. I now have a total of 16 in my collection. Check out
NancyGooGoo on Youtube for her lipstick/lipgloss of the day. She cracks me up with her after work rants and ashy lipgloss frustrations.

Her videos are easy to follow ,concise, and she caters to women of color and ethnic skin.

TURNING YOUR VISION INTO REALITY WITH VISION BOARDS

Now I have a vision board ( on my computer) that helps me to remain focused. Focused on my goals, dreams and future aspirations.  Forward thinking women and men should take the time to write down the things they want out of life. Vision boards and other self motivating concepts , in my opinion keep individuals on task and motivated. Since watching a fellow vlogger recommend VisionBoardSite , I've managed with just a few simple words and pictures, to keep myself on track, focused and with a positive frame of mind. Whether a person is extremely religious, spiritual or struggling with religion the benefit of a vision board is unmeasurable. Taking a few minutes out of my day to remind myself of my greater purpose in life, coupled with quiet mediation and or prayer keeps negative thinking at bay. Do you have a vision? Do you have something to remind you of that vision? Check out the website and let me know if you create a board for yourself. Having it on your desktop is a great idea or if your crafty cut and paste images of things you WILL accomplish . Here is an example of a vision board that shared some of the same goals as myself.

GUESS WHAT!? YOUR HAIR "TYPE" IS DRY!

The sooner that people start to classify their own hair type accordingly, the sooner the learning curve for their own hair will be shortened. Many times hair texture is used to describe the hair. The different types of hair is classified by the moisture content present. I don't bother with hair products for "curly" hair because I find it more beneficial to find products geared towards "dry & damaged hair" Why? My hair isn't damaged! But my hair is  fa sho,  dry. My hair will always be dry because of the nature and structure of it. You can't correct dry hair, only manage it properly with proper care and products that help with moisture retention, and conditioning.

PROCRASTINATION IS A B*TCH

Yes, I said it ! I've been sharing that my blog would be launching. I even shared the "launch" date December 1. Now here it is and I have not hardly given enough attention too it. When you can occupy your time productively, thankfully and happily rather than let time pass you by you are truely living and experiencing life.  There is a scripture in the Bible that reads "Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away." James 4:14.   I hope you will follow me and share in my words , experiences and have fun reading MY TRUTH. I love getting feedback and suggestions. Just like youtube, you never know whats coming next .
