Late Night Confessions| My Dry "DC"

So I seriously have not been taking good care of my hair over these past few weeks...seriously....I have not washed my hair in like 2 weeks...(oh Lawd) lol but it's all good..I have just been so busy with moving out of my apartment and the fashion show, and just all together getting my darn life together. But anywho its like 2am and I was laying down, playing in my hair....and this mess is brittle as god knows what!!! Brillo pad swag....
So I just got up and gave myself a late night "Dry DC" dry deep conditioning is a good way to allow the product to set and penetrate the strands. Although some conditioners only penetrate the outer layers, I used a variety of natural products that are sure to help moisturize my hair.

What I used was-

Mayo: as a source of protein to make my hair more healthy and to soften it up a bit.

Honey: which is a humectant, meaning it holds on to water molecules. Which helps add moisture to my hair.

EVOO(extra virgin olive oil): which actually has the ability to penetrate the hair shaft will help improve my hairs strength and elasticity.

Coconut Oil: for softness and to stimulate hair growth.

I added some "Hello Hydration" to thicken the mixture up. And also a few drops of Vanilla just for the smell, because I hate the way the mayo makes this mixture smell...I'm weird like that.

My hair in a pony after I applied the mixture. Soaked it up like water!

Stay Tuned for what my hair looks like after I wash it out...

Stay Wrighteous,

XOXO

A Night of Dreams

This past weekend the Black Student Union at my school had its annual fashion show. I was a scene director this year for the second time, and this year, my scene was called: The “Nacirema” [Nah-Keyr-Eem-A] Dream, which is "American" spelled backwards. 

Fashion is going backwards and repeating itself, so I spelled American backwards to represent that!

My scene expressed my dream of how I feel fashion has repeated, displaying animal prints, stone washed denim and body jewelry that I hand made!

Knot It Out....Knot It Outttt...

After wearing my Bantu Knots for a few days, I wanted to wear a BAntu Knot out. I absolutely LOVED the results...I will probably be wearing this hair style a lot more over the summer since it easy to manage, and its off of my neck! 

Stay tuned for a post/tutorial on how I made this Fishtail Skirt.

Watch My Tutorial: 

Nubian Knots.

Nubian knots, also known as "Bantu" knots is a popular hairstyle worn by many naturals. I had the honor of trying this hairstyle for the first time since I have been natural. I must tell you....I loved it. I did them on a random day, just because I wanted to do something different with my hair.

 I rocked my hair like this for about 2 days, then untwisted them.....stay tuned for my post on my Bantu Knot Out....

Stay Wrighteous,

XOXO

Hair So Long That It Look Like Weave....

Sew-In by ForeverRikk

Yesterday I gave my roommate a sew in....most people don't know that I actually do hair, well I do. Sew-In's are a great protective hair style for naturals and for those who have a relaxer. It keeps you from applying heat to your hair daily, which causes damage, and can stunt the growth of your natural hair, and it also allows your hair to breathe! Staying out of your hair is one of the easiest ways to just allow your hair to grow! 

But here is the process that I go through to do a full sew-in (hair extensions):

1. I start off with medium/small braids going straight too the back.

Leaving the desired amount of hair that the client wants left out.  For a more natural look.

2. I sew on a net over the braids for protection

A net will help the sew in last longer, because you will not have direct contact with the braids in your sew-in. 

3. I start sewing the hair from the nape of the neck, working my way up. 

I make sure I put the needle and thread through the track then through the braid. 

4. Once I finish sewing the hair in I usually curl the extensions for the client.

Once the curls fell...

Stay Wrighteous.

XOXO,
