Hey Luvs!! So recently I've been really interested in the Huetiful Hair Steamer and I wanted to share a video with you all done by Mae, a very popular YouTuber and Blogger known by Natural Chica. She does a GREAT review on the hair steamer including step by step instructions on how to step up the steamer prior to use. I think I will do more research and eventually purchase the steamer for my own use. If you are thinking about buying the Huetiful Hair Steamer this video is very helpful with deciding if you want to buy a steamer. I will also post the direct link to the site so you all can get even more detailed info about the steamer. I hope this post helps you all in some way! I will keep you all posted if I buy this product. Also, if anyone has purchased this hair steamer please let me know if you liked this product or not. :) Here is the link to the site: http://www.behuetiful.com/store/Hair-Care/Huetiful-Hair-Steamer-Free-Shipping-/prod_2.html

My New FAV Product is hands down Yes To Carrots! Thanks for the Recommendation Sis (Meraki Soul)!! This product is a keeper Luvs! It gave my hair an experience like none other. The smell of this product is AMAZING and the fact that the Yes To Carrots Conditioner is 99.8% Natural is even better! I also LOVE the Shampoo as well..It is 99.4% Natural which is way more than most shampoos out there. I must say I am pleased with this purchase! #TeamNatural Stamp! Have a good week Luvs!!

Hey Luvs!! I hope you all are having a wonderful week thus far! Today I wanted to do a post about my Bentonite Clay Experience and explain to you all the procedure I followed to do the Hair Mask. Overall I was very happy with my results! My hair felt VERY clean..even more clean than it has after a shampoo wash. I will definitely be using this method again in the future on my hair and I also may do a Bentonite Face Mask!

Bentonite Clay is great for clarifying hair. It is used by most naturals that do not like using Shampoos to clean their hair once there is a buildup of products. Bentonite Clay is also wonderful for a face mask as well! I definitely think I will be trying a face mask soon because I had NO irritation from the clay at all. I used a little on my forehead to see if I would have some reaction to this product on my skin but I had no negative reaction. I am 100% happy with this product and will purchase it for future use.

You  Will Need:
1. Mixing Bowl
2. Spoon you don't use
3. Water (I used a fresh bottle of water)
4. EVOO Or EVCO(Raw Coconut Oil)
5. Bentonite Clay

Procedure:
1. Pour Bentonite Clay in Bowl
(As much as needed)
Alert: IT WILL SWELL
2. Pour 1-2 TBSP EVOO or EVCO
3. Pour Water based on amount of Bentonite Clay
4. Stir Mixture with Spoon until as smooth as possible.
(Add water as needed)
5. Apply Mixture throughout hair until fully covered.
6. Let sit on hair for 20 mins

ENJOY!

~5 Myths About Natural Black Hair~
Before relaxers became easily accessible, black people straightened their hair through a variety of means, many of which were very harsh and damaging. Although the majority of black women still prefer to wear their hair straightened, there has been a steadily growing movement toward wearing natural hair. However, there remains a lot of misinformation which prevents some people from accepting their hair as it grows from their scalp. They choose to straighten their hair because they still believe these myths about natural hair. What are the real truths?

1. Natural Hair Isn't Versatile If you think Afros are the only style for natural hair, you're missing out on a ton of unique hairstyles that are beautiful and healthy for your hair and scalp.
 
Some of the many natural Hairstyles you can do include:
       1. Two-Strand Twists
       2. Bantu Knots
       3. Braids
       4. CornRows
       5. Flat Twists
       6. Coils
       7. Locs
       8. Afro-Puffs

In addition, you can combine these styles to create your own one-of-a-kind hairdos. If your hair is short, that may limit your versatility somewhat, but the longer your hair grows, the more styles you can experiment with and enjoy.

2. Natural Hair Doesn't Grow: Black hair in its natural state has a tendency to shrink up, preventing you from seeing its real length, leading to the popular belief that it doesn't grow long. While everyone has a predetermined hair length that's due to genetics, with proper care, you can grow your hair as long as it is destined to be and you don't need a relaxer or perm to do so! A relaxer straightens your curls so that you can see length more easily, but the chemicals in it do not promote hair growth.

Hair grows an average of 1/2 inch per month, including black hair. Your hair is growing, but you may not be retaining the length due to chemical abuse, dryness, excessive heat styling and a general lack of proper care.

3. Natural Hair Is Strong Natural hair looks strong: which is why so many people accidentally abuse it with rough treatment. In reality, black hair is fragile and needs to be treated with the gentlest of care in order for it to flourish. Wide tooth combs, natural ingredients and your own fingers are the best tools and products for natural hair.

4. Natural Hair Needs Grease: Many products you'll find in the ethnic hair care section of your local stores are full of ingredients that aren't the best for black hair. Ironic, but true. Petroleum and mineral oil make up a large percentage of black hair products and all they do is clog your scalp and attract dirt to your hair. You do not have to "grease" your scalp for it to be healthy.

A better approach is to apply natural oils directly to your hair, paying special attention to the ends, which tend to be dry.

5. Natural Hair Is Hard to Manage: Natural textured hair can seem hard to manage if you attempt to treat it like straight hair. If you use the same tools and expect the same results that you would on straightened hair, you're going to be disappointed. However, once you learn to treat natural hair in a way that doesn't try to change it or alter it, it can be as manageable as any other type of hair.

You'll have to use different tools and different methods of styling. Your fingers, a wide tooth comb, natural boar bristle brushes and natural oils are all good ways to treat black hair. If you're used to dealing with straightened hair, learning new routines and techniques that work with your natural texture instead of against it will yield the best results.
