Natural Hair Detangler using Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm

Trying out this natural hair detangler mix for the 1st time. I used: 3 cups water (boiled for 15 mins), 3 tbsp marshmallow root, 3 tbsp slippery elm, 1 tsb glycerin, 20 drops, argan oil
Marshmallow root - Is rich in mucilage, a natural hair detangler.
Slippery elm bark - Is an emollient and nutritive herb as well as containing extreme amounts of mucilage. It is extremely soothing for dry hair and scalp and gives any product that much needed slip for detangling hair. #4chaircare #4c #4chairgrowth #hairgrowth #kinkyhair #4ccurlpop #coils #teamnatural #4chairchicks #4chair #naturalhair #marshmallowroot #slipperyelm #detangler #naturaldetangler

Dab! Coils on Fleek!

Today I decided to play around with my hair. So I applied some Talid Wajhid Curl Cream to my hair ends and took some pictures. After taking the pictures I sat around for 3 hours with two shower caps on my head. Then I took the shower cap off and hit the dab! My coils were POPPING! Aww man they were clumped and juicy AF! Of course the pictures are doing it NO JUSTICE! U know what I'm talking about.

I never thought to apply a shower cap to my head after using a curl cream to get that extra boost! Gurl the more I play in my hair the better I learn! It's almost been two years of being a natural and I am still learning... Anyway here are some pictures...

After applying shower cap for three hours...these picture do it NO Justice!

Moisturized 4c Natural Hair

I am finally satisfied that I finally know what moisturized 4c hair feels like! Yassssssssss.... lol. This was achieved using my moisture mix I listed below this post.

My Daily Hair Spritz

In efforts to use all natural products on my hair, I tried to make my own daily hair mix that has a consistency similar to the Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Lotion. I searched the internet and didnt find any duplicate of the product. I did look up the ingredients and realized that the only beneficial ingredient in it for my hair was the glycerin! The other products are compounds used to create a slippery film on my hair!

Don't get me wrong, I love this stuff but what is the point of me using it if its not nourishing to my hair and encouraging growth. It's more of a temporary feeling. So that is why I set out to make my own darn mix that caters to my 4c hair.

So I made the mix sprayed it on my scalp and length of hair. My hair loveeeees it! Omg.. Instant moisture, instant curl definition. Now its not alot of curl definition but its enough that I can appreciate. I think my hair overall just loves glycerin.

So now the final test is how my hair feels after I sleep and take it down. Updates to follow. Here is a picture of what I mixed:

Natural Hair Deep Condition Mix for my 4C Natural Hair

On 02 Dec I decided to deep condition my hair with all natural products. This is what I posted over on my natural hair IG account.

After reading this post over on Nature Haven's blog I decided to try to venture back over to the good ole natural products (minus the ORS, b/c I don't have any mayo around). http://www.thenaturalhavenbloom.com/2014/07/bad-ingredients-label-kinky-curly-knot.html?m=1 

After straightening my hair the other day, I know I have to do a couple of protein deep conditions. For this mix I did the following: 2 egg yolks, 15 drops of Peppermint oil, some olive oil and ORS Replenishing Conditioner. I plan to leave it on for 1hr/45 mins, wash it out and do the #greenhousemethod with olive oil. Watch I use hot water to wash the conditioner out and end up with scrambled eggs in my hair #kinkyhair #4c #4chair #coils #deepcondition #4ccurlpop #eggtreatment #naturalhair #4chairchicks #teamnatural  

My Natural Hair Moisture Mix for my 4c Natural Hair

I am so tired of being a product junkie! Products work for some time and I get all excited thinking I have found the perfect product THEN all hell breaks loose. I was feeling the Design Essentials Daily Moisturizing lotion! I am not ready to end the relationship with it yet ....BUT after using it daily  and applying castor oil on top of it...it starts to act like a glue! This starts to happen after about 1 week of applying it without washing my hair. It helps my hair clump very nicely but its not worth it because it becomes so sticky where its hard for me to finger detangle. I know its the combo mix. The DE is sticky and the castor oil being thick doesn't make it any better. So for right now its on ice.

Soooooo on a mission to find a less expensive sorta natural combo I mixed the products below and SO far so good! 1. I applied the Oyin to my scalp and massaged it thru the length of my hair. 2. Next I apply the Wave Nouveau to the length of hair. 3. I used my blender to mix Glycerin, castor oil and coconut oil. I applied that to my scalp and the length of my hair.  It seemed to stretch my hair.  I twisted my hair and did the "drop bantu" knots on the ends and applied my head thingy. My hair is soft and stays VERY moisturized overnight.

Now I feel like at least now I am starting to gain some control of knowing WHAT product/ingredient I am using in my hair. I need to find a replacement for the Wave Nouveau tho.

These pictures were taken at 3am so excuse the mug face lol.

Finally Straightened My 4c Natural Hair

I can't remember the last time I did a little clipping on my ends. I have a lot of those little fairly knots on the ends of my hair in some sections. They just seem impossible to avoid. So since being natural (almost 2 full years) I have never really straightened my hair. So what better time to straighten my hair and clip my ends. I made sure to apply a protectant but I can tell I may have done a lil damage :( BUT its not that bad to the point where I have to cut my hair. I have to say I do not like my straight hair anymore lol. My hair looks SO much thicker when its in its natural coils state. Here are some pictures of my hair before I straightened it and after I straightened it.

My Pre-Owned and New Lace Wigs for Sale!

So back to topic with these lace wigs..... Since being home from overseas I have had SOOO much time to really get into my lace wigs. I have been learning how to color them and give them LIFE with curls. Those barrel curling irons are the business! They will spice up a wig in second!

Small 4c Natural Hair Update

Sooooo I have been home from overseas since Oct 2015 and I am loving the down time until my next adventure overseas. Anyway my hair has been loving it as well and its showing! My hair has never been this moisturized and soft feeling! I owe it to the change in water, castor oil usage and the Design Essentials Moisturizing Lotion! I have been keeping my hair in mini braids and only using those products. My hair loves it and it seems I get more growth. Every year I think around Aug, Oct and Nov my hair grows a lot. Does that make sense?

In Jan I am coming up on ANOTHER natural hair anniversary. Time waits on no one. Well until the next update...

Update on My 4C Natural Hair

I am just loving my hair. Its still growing and it has stopped breaking so I am glad for that. Some of my favorite products are the Qhmet Biologics, Moringa powder, IC Styling Gel and Tahlid Wajii Curly Curl Cream.

You know whats crazy? When I was relaxed I never really liked wearing my hair out, but now I am natural I CANT wait to wear it. There are endless styles you can do. It can be curly, kinky or straight depending on how I manipulate it and its healthy....not thin at the ends. 

How to Get 4C Natural Hair to Curl - Best Hair Products

Qhemet Biologics - Amla & Olive Heavy Cream

What does it do for my 4c hair? Very moisturizing. Clumps my hair and greatly defines and brings out my curls. This product has also helped my hair to stop shedding because the cream moisturises my strands all the way down to the ends.  When you find a product that can really moisturize the ENDS of your 4c hair there you will find that you are able to clump ya hair. 

Qhemet Biologics - Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee

What does it do for my 4c hair? Its a light detangler. On a scale from 1-10 I will give it a 6.5. However in conjunction with the Amla & Olive Heavy Cream it works GREAT in helping my hair clump together to get a curl

Karen’s Body  Beautiful  Sweet Ambrosia Leave in Conditioner

What does it do for my 4c hair? 

Ahh my newly found best product! So last night I took a strand of my hair…applied a lil water and applied some of the Karen’s Body Leave in… Instant clumps!!! Not as defines but it was very noticeable!

Hydratherma Naturals - Moisture Boosting Deep Conditioning Treatment

What it does for my 4c hair? 

Man this is the best freaking deep conditioner ever. It will have your hair feeling like butter. You know after you use a hard shampoo and your hair feels all strongly well this stuff brings your hair all the way back to life. Its like I can feel it nourishing my scalp at the same time. I think a cheaper alternate to this is the Aussie Moist…BUT the Hydratherma Deep Con is way better. 

Parachute Coconut Oil

What does it do for my 4c hair? 

I dunno this stuff just feels really good on my scalp and on my strands if I need that extra boost in my hair. Coconut is supposed to also be good for “hair fall” so I think that why I mainly use it. Also because when I was relaxed I swore by this stuff. It was a  daily part of my regimen. 

Luster SCurl

What does it do for my 4c hair? 

Now if you have been following my blog you know this is my number one staple and product I ALSO come back to. It gives my hair that ahhhhhhh feeling when it is very dry. It brings back life to my dry strands. For example of I go 5 days without any moisture in my hair… I can spray some of this stuff on my hair, sleep with a shower cap and ta-daaaaaa… Instance moisture. 

Tweezing Your "Part" On a Full Lace Wig

I have to say I have really been getting too comfortable and not tweaking my lace wigs as I used to do. And because of that my lace wigs have not been looking the best.  The number one and most important thing every lace wig wearer should do is TWEEZE their part. Clean up all of that hair out of the part and apply a little eye shadow down the part once you finish. I bet you will get a lot of compliments on how pretty YOUR hair is. Don't believe me about tweezing. Check out my before and after picture below. I plucked a little too much because I was excited and just kept plucking away but you get the idea.
