I usually try to post at least once a week, but I haven’t been doing that lately and I apologize! Life has been kind of hectic for me for the past couple of weeks, and I have not been able to give my hair the baby treatment as I usually do! Lol, but in the past weeks I have flat ironed, which lasted for about a week and a half, and then I did two strand twists again last Sunday. I might take them out tomorrow, even though I’m sure they could probably last for the whole week, we’ll see. Anyway, I don’t have my camera, so I won’t be able to post any pics! Which I know sucks majorly, but I will be purchasing a new camera soon, so all my pics will be nice and crisp.
I am going to start posting tutorials, in which I do my styling so any of you naturals, or transitioners, or even relaxed ladies (depending on the style), can see the steps in which I do particular styles, and do them for yourselves, or just use it an idea to form your own styles.
I will also try to keep updates on how my growth is going with the use of my cayenne pepper treatments.
Thanks for the support, and keep following, or start if you are not already! Please post any comments, ideas, or questions!

Do You Prepoo?

For those of you who are not familiar with what to prepoo means, I will explain. Prepooing is a method of providing moisture for your hair before you shampoo. Shampoo tends to strip the hair of it’s moisture, leaving it dry, but prepooing before hand aide’s in helping hair retain moisture.
You can prepoo with as little or many products you like. You can prepoo with things like honey, which helps give hair shine, or castor oil, which helps aid in thickening hair (or at least makes hair appear thicker), or your cowashing conditioner, pretty much anything you prefer.
It is something you have to try at least once, just to see if you like it! I mean why wouldn’t you, moisturizing, and strengthening hair, who doesn’t want that?!
Just wanted to share a process I incorporated into my regimen.

Cayenne Pepper Challenge

As you all know, I use Cayenne Pepper for hair restoration/growth, and since I started using it, my hairline is coming back, and I have hair where I never did before, but I was the only one using it regularly in my regimen, so I decided to enlighten my sisters on Black Hair Planet Forum about the benefits of using cayenne to help with hair growth, and made a challenge.
Well really it is the second part, but since people were not too sure about using cayenne, I made it a mini challenge of 3 months, starting from January 1st, 2010- March 1st 2010. I did not get the immediate response I wanted, but it was requested for the challenge to be restored! So I gave everyone and newcomers a month break to get their mixtures together!
The challenge calls for Ground Cayenne Pepper (Must be used) to be made into a paste, using water, or water and an oil, or pretty much anything you prefer. The cayenne paste must be applied 2-3 times a week, and left on for a minimum of 30 minutes. There is no direct measurements but I will say that the mix should contain more cayenne than oil or water, otherwise you will end up with a liquid instead of paste, which can run, and cayenne stings eyes!( I do not suggest heating it up. If using water, it does not matter whether you use cold or warm water)
The second part of the challenge Begins April 1st, 2010 and will end July 1st. Everyone is to check in 1st of the month until July. If everything is going well I plan on extending to the end of the year.
This challenge is open to everyone! So if you would like to join, just subscribe and comment!
