Amla

That is the original post I submitted to NaturallyCurly.com. Do any of my wonderful subscribers/readers have any advice to give me?

Today, I used amla for the first time. Been hearing great things about it and wanted to try it out since henna didn't work for me (it made my hair very very dry and hard).

I went to different sources and was told to mix it with EVOO and an oil. The only oil I had was coconut so that's what I used. I left it in for 45mins and washed it out with Dr Bronners. It was a DISASTER! My hair was hard, dry, and HARD!!!

Then I DT'd with an egg & mayo since my hair loves protein but I was told that protein only makes it worse!

To make matters worse, my 4A pen spring/spiral curls loc'd up! I almost passed out!!! After a few minutes of shock, I decided that if I couldn't get my hair right, I was gonna HAVE to put a relaxer in!

I used a mix of water, castor oil, & cantu's leave-in (which always make my hair soft & manageable) and used my fake denman brush. Thank GOD it worked!


Even though my hair hated the amla, my curl pattern looks TERRIFIC! Sorry for the long post, but what did I do wrong?

Hair Update 11/26/09

As I mentioned before, because I didn't know what to do with my natural hair, I got some braids.

After 2 months, I finally took them out.

Loving the new length! And since I had my hair twisted for 2mths, I have beautiful curls. I think I can get a weak out of them. :0)

Right now, every morning, I spritz my hair with a mixture of water and castor oil. Then I add a mixture of shea butter and coconut oil. Shake it out and voila!

After church, on Sunday evening, I'll pamper my hair with a henna treatment and deep condition for an hour.

Halloween 2K9

My mother is the most religious person I've ever met. That being said, Halloween is very much frowned upon. It is "forbidden" to dress up (unless it was required, like when I was in elementary and would dress up as a witch) and especially to go trick-or-treating. Every year it's the same thing: "Not in my house!".

My mom doesn't even answer the door when people ring the doorbell or knock and she's waiting for the day someone gets the nerve to egg the place!

But guess who participated for the first time in 26 years?

It was only because she wasn't home. Not trying to bite the hand that feeds me! LOL

I learned from the comedian Sinbad that if I'm gonna get in trouble, I might as well make the best of it! Guess who I went as? Get ready for it!

A HORNY CHICK!

I loved it! My costume consisted of this:

Horns
+ A low-cut Top

---

= A Horny Chick
(Get it?!?! LOL)

Here are the pics:

Do you see how low the cut is? smh lol

I changed the color to match the outfit!

I hate beer but I had to take a pic with one!
