New Year, New Approach

Most natural hair bloggers are taking about new years resolutions, 2013 goals and hair challenges. I've decided not to. I recently wrote a blog post about my dislike of hair challenges and inability to stick to goals. It didn't work for me last year and I can't be bothered thus year. Instead, this year, I'm just going to wing it. I want to keep my hair healthy but I refuse to limit my styling options because of challengers or length goals. If I see a style I like I will try it, if I see an interesting product, ditto. This year, my only limitation will be my own ability ( or lack there of) to actually create styles. That said, there are a few things I will attempt this year and how to have perfected by December. 1) cornrows I can do French braids, but can't cornrow.

4 SignsYou Have The Wrong Hair Regime

If your current hair care regime is not doing what it should for your hair, would you know? Would you be able to tell that there are problems with your hair just by looking in the mirror? What about spotting problems with your scalp? If you aren't sure that your current system of caring for your hair is the most effective for your hair or scalp, it is time to start listening to your hair and scalp.

Mayonnaise and Avocado Conditioner

Here's a quick and easy protein and moisture deep conditioner. Because of my previous experience with mayonnaise I chose a brand with a neutral smell that would not make me sick (cheapest is definitely not best) and it worked alright. this isn't as intense as a gelatine treatment but it works well for weekly treatments. Ingredients : 1 small jar of mayonnaise 1/2 avocado Directions: Peel avocado and remove pit. Mash avocado then mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl with your hands until it's a consistent green color. Smooth into hair. Use shower cap or plastic wrap to seal body heat in. Leave on hair for 20 minutes. For deeper conditioning wrap a hot, damp towel around your head over the plastic, or use a hair dryer set to a low to medium heat setting. Store extra in refrigerator.
