I decided to revisit an old classic! Remember the Effortless Beach waves Tutorial? Well, I wanted to see how it would look with my current length! It's definitely different, but I love it just the same! If you haven't already tried the Effortless Beach Waves, give it a shot! It's great for all lengths! Hope you enjoy!

Hey Sistas! It has been a loooooong time since I discussed natural hair, and I think discussing the mistakes we've made in the past is great way to get the hair convo going again. I've made many mistakes handling my natural hair over the years, but most importantly, I'm learning from them. Lately, I haven't moisturized my hair enough, and I've let it get tangled and etc. My biggest mistake had been was using too much heat. I had to chop off inches due to heat damage 🙁 But, I'm learning and I plan to take better care of my kinks & curls! Share your mistakes and lessons in the comment section 🙂

Carmen and I made a FAQS regarding our permanent hair colors and natural hair. Both of us have professional permanent hair color. We do believe that we are considered "natural" within the natural hair community because neither one of us has experienced a PERMANENT hair texture difference nor is our hair damaged (falling out/ breaking off) from our permanent color. Our goal is to embrace the texture and the versatility of natural hair.

Whatever by Sir Magnet

The Science of Black Hair by Audrey Davis- Sivasothy, is a great reference for information on black hair care.
Here are some quotes regarding permanent hair color:
"The permanent coloring process involves using HYDROGEN PEROXIDE and/or AMMONIA based products. These ingredients lift the cuticle layers to allow for color deposition. Once the tiny color molecules enter the hair shaft, they clump and join together to become larger molecules that cannot be washed out. This process STRIPS away SOME of the PROTEIN deep within textured hair strands making the hair weaker and more prone to breakage (can be prevented if taken care of properly). PERMANENT COLOR CAN AND OFTEN does LOSE its INTENSITY OVER TIME…"(p. 183).
How Color Affects Textured Tresses
"Coloring black hair always changes the way the HAIR FIBER LOOKS AND FEELS…" Not the permanent texture of the hair as though a relaxer would. "Changes in the FEEL and the TEXTURE of the hair indicate that coloring causes modifications to the SURFACE of the HAIR FIBER. " Permanent color DOES NOT break any of the disulfide or polypeptide linkages/ bonds as though a relaxer would to permanently straighten the hair. "Color treated hair tends to feel drier and coarser than hair that has not been color- treated"(p. 187)

In this video I show how I blow dry, straighten, ad lightly trim my natural hair. I only straighten my natural hair 2 times a year! I also forgot to mention I flat iron my hair on 419 degrees.

HD ME!! I'm in 1080!
I'm calling this the "Twisted Knot": a simple and flattering protective hairstyle! It's heatless, perfect for medium to long length natural hair and is perfect all year long, whether winter, spring, summer or fall! This is a protective hairstyle that is appropriate for work and office, school, kids, pretty much anyone can pull this off! It's also a great natural hairstyle for working out! I can't say enough about how much I've been enjoying this style, I hope you like it as well!

XoXo!! Nap
