Benefits of Bhringraj and Burdock root for hair and Scalp

Benefits of bhringraj and burdock root for hair and scalp!

Over the last year, I become increasingly interested in taking a more natural approach to my hair care and the benefits of incorporating more natural and ayurvedic herbs into my hair care practices. Aside from being it being easier on my wallet, I think there’s a huge benefit in controlling what goes on my hair and my scalp. Women have been growing and caring for their tresses with natural herbs…

Hello Month 5 & Retwist No. 5

Hello Month 5 & Retwist No. 5

I’m still in awe that I’m actually locing my hair, never mind that it’s already been 5 months since my little starter locs were installed. This new loc journey is by far the easiest one yet when compared to learning to care for my relaxed hair and then my natural hair, but it is testing my patience in ways my relaxed hair journey and natural hair journey did not. This time around, the struggling…

Retwist No. 4 And How I Retwist My Starter Locs

Retwist No. 4 And How I Retwist My Starter Locs

It’s that time again, and this time I made it to the 5 week mark before breaking out the loc gel. After applying temporary hair color gel to my hair twice, spraying my hair with moisturizing mist, oiling my scalp, and of course sweating (I often cold sweat at night and especially from my scalp; it drives me nuts), I wanted to give my hair a deep clean.

I started off my spraying my scalp and…

Can you believe it’s been 3 months, THREE, since I had my started locs put in on Feb. 6th?! THREE! I may be the only one flabbergasted by this but y’all have to understand that I’ve thought about locing my hair for years, and then 3 months just up and flies by! I totally missed capturing my 2-month mark and kinda-sorta captured my1 month “starterlocaversary” on Instagram. I was painfully aware of…

Why I Decided To Loc My Hair

Why I Decided To Loc My Hair

Since sharing on IG that I’ve started the process to loc my hair, this has been the most asked question. My motivation to loc my hair isn’t really all that deep. I’ve reached a point in my life where I crave and prefer simplicity. As much as I loved my loose natural hair, it felt like a chore and dreaded wash days. I stopped enjoying my hair and got tired of constantly feeling like I had to “DO”…

First Self-Retwist

“Mama I made it!”

That’s how I felt after removing all the pins from my hair and seeing that I didn’t jack my little baby locs up. Disaster. Averted! Here’s a recap of the momentous occasion.

I started off by shampooing with Dr. Locs Yasin Shampoo. Even after lathering my hair 3 times, this shampoo delivered clean hair without stripping or drying out my hair.

After shampooing, I…

5 Things I Haven’t Missed Since Locing My Hair

01. Long wash days

When deciding whether or not to go through with my decision to loc my hair, thinking about how much shorter my wash days would become was definitely one of the factors that pushed me towards committing to the idea. My wash days weren’t marathons but they were longer than what I’d like.

Old wash day: pre-poo, shampoo, condition + detangle with conditioner in my hair while…

Organizing my Ayurvedic Herbs

Organizing my Ayurvedic Herbs

I’ve been incorporating Ayurvedic herbs into my hair care practices over the last few months (with great results, I’ve been hoarding updates) and have amassed a pile of Ayurvedic herbs in a box in my pantry. I was over of going back and forth to that box each time I mixed up a batch of cassia, henna, or my bhringraj infused oil, which might be the best thing I’ve done for my hair all year.
