REVIEW TIME!!!

Hello everyone! I tried this new Tea Tree Conditioner by Tea and Honey Blends. I really recommend this conditioner if you need to boost your hair! I applied this to my hair, and someone else's. Since I have a weave in I wanted to see how it reacts on natural hair. When I applied it to the other person's hair I added coconut oil because their hair was very damaged, and I wanted to deep condition.

Benefits:
-Makes hair extremely soft
-Promotes shine
-Makes hair very manageable and strong
-You can see a difference in one use

Tea and Honey Blends is a company from two young African American chemist. I read their story and I'm so in love and impressed by them. You can read their story here. After I conditioned it I styled it in curls as you can see here. I can't wait to buy more products from them!

Braid-Out

Hey everybody!! I did a braid out today and I really love it. I used no product on the hair itself, but I greased my scalp with the Shea and Olive Hair Butter from Pooka Pure and Simple.

I braided my hair in 5 cornrows.

Here are the results:

By the end of the day there was no evidence that my roots were braided. I ended up braiding two cornrows on the side of my head. I know better than to put no product in, but I wanted to make sure that this was a style I wanted BEFORE I put anything in it to give it hold.

Red Head!!

I have been trying to get my hair red for years now!....ok more like months but the journey is finally over! I bleached my hair and then colored it. Everyone has been scared to do it for me so I just did it myself!

My Color Before:

After Bleaching:

Finally Red:

As you can see, the major flaw in the whole process was that my curls are very "relaxed" from the stress of the bleaching process. Hopefully they come back soon:(

I don't know what to call this hairstyle below, but it's a great way to get my hair out of  my face during those hot days!

Don't mind  my Lil' Fizz poster in the back....my house used to be a B2K household.
