COLORmeHAPPY [[How 2 lift your hair lightly]]

 

     So lately I have been seeking wondering if I should go ahead and bleach my hair and apply a rinise ,but then I recalled bleach lengthens natural hair and strips if of moisture [[not such a great idea u will LOSE THE TEXTURE OF UR HAIR]]

     So how did I achieve the color I want without it being so harsh on my hair? Peroxide 3-6 % 

 :-) yes it did just the trick and did not damage my hair and it refresh the color that  I have in right now 

this is what happens to your hair when

when you bleach and rinise you WILL get that relaxer effect on you ends and it is not cute,
damaging and must always keep it mositerzed   

DO NOT USE ON RELAXED HAIR, do not use transitioning hair ether,DO NOT USE ON RELAXED HAIR ......OR PROCESSED HAIR ....OR IRRITATED SCALP YOU WILL GO BALD YOU WILL LOSE UR HAIR....

Before you EVER color or lighten your hair with any product always do a strand test....

Place hair on card board, tape it down at the tip, then brush color onto the hair  ( not the end with the tape on it) wait 15 minutes and see how the strand is developing if it looking not as desired do not proceed and go to the salon ....

Here is what you need :
[]spray bottle

and Missie using the "quickie" curling pudding I made yesterday!!!

 

Homemade curling Pudding

two strand twist result with curling pudding

     Many of us naturals find it hard to find a product that achieves the look we are looking for (perhaps messy, defined, texted or however else), but many products that say ALL HAIR TYPES OR NATURAL for some reason or another tend to dry out our hair ....there is a solution to this problem that will be address later on Nov 4th 2011.
   Likewise, I found much easier during the winter to ROCK THE PROTECTIVE hair styles (braids, twists, extensions, sew ins, genie loc's and much much more.) With  that being said my staple product of choice is Eco styler Gel and Vo5 Conditioners for .
I was natural my whole childhood. Then I could not bear it anymore when I enter high school [[ the am Grown stage...smh]], So I slapped the crack in my hair, [[Perm]], well begged my mum to just do it and I mean begged .So 6 months ago I cut of my locs and let my curly and kinky grow out. As  my hair began to grow out the products I was applying to my hair had to change with the climates I  tend to. Likewise I learned about the pudding from my sista and experimented on my own and this is what I came up with....  Have fun enjoy and post your pics of your finish product .... 'Hotep
