Hair Products

Being out here in Italy, I am very limited to hair supplies, unless I order them online, and this whole going natural thing is new to me.. yeah you may say well you been natural for about 2 years well, you know what I did, I would let my hair rest and then put them in some braids, ( cornrows, micros, medium individual braids). So yeah I'm still new at this. I just recently bought this pudding with Olive Oil, now on the container it said its an holding gel.. ummm maybe if my hair was fine, BUT I have coily hair.. which requires a stronger hold.-lol-so I did another co-wash and a braid out with this product, It smell like candy which is a plus for me. Who wants to have stinky hair.. when I woke up some parts of my hair was interesting... to say the lest...lol.. You know that movie with Queen Latifah Bringing down the house.. yeah I looked like that..lol..
maybe I need expert pudding users to give me some tips.. I did rock my fro on Saturday, but Saturday night I braided that fro up and my hair will remain braided up until I get to the states where I can go to my local hairstores.., so this will be my last post for awhile for the summer, so if your traveling just be safe and have a great summer everybody especially my natural sistahs :)
GOD BLESS :)

Kinky-Curl-less

So recently I have been watching Youtube and getting helpful tips for my natural hair. I had a friend give me some kinky curling custard awhile back. ( thanks Girl ;-) The first time I tried it was disasterous.. not the product itself, but the way I applied it.. boooo 1st time.. so I decided to give it another try this time.


Now mind you guys this is suppose to define your curl pattern, so from watching the videos on youtube, I thought I would get the wavy/curly/silky look. So here was the process, I Co-Wash my hair


( Co-Wash.. is when you use conditioner to wash your hair instead of shampoo)


then I rinsed it out and begin to apply the Kinky Curly product to my hair.Now my hair was drenched with water as I applied the product. According to the directions it said part into section and apply it. so I did that.. and I was like Mannnnnnn this stuff is Bomb.. my hair was shining and looking silky.. and then it started to dry.. and tell me why my hair looked like I was in a Soul-Glo video. ( NOW Let your soul-glo feeling oh so silky smooth) yeah.. that was me tight fro.. my curl pattern is called coily.. lol.. Don't get me wrong my natural sistahs.. coils are beautiful, I personally don't want to look like Michael J off his "Off the Wall album..lol.. I'm just saying. What products do you guys use out there to define your curls??
any feed back please feel free to help me out. thanks ya'll :)
