There's Nothing Wrong With Rocking Your Weave

Girls now what to have long, curly hair, that can do just about anything. When it starts to dry up and have breakage, that is when they want to do the big chop. Say no more, I am here, to save that beautiful hair of yours. Protective styles are styles that has your ends tucked, which will decrease tangles and dry ends. They also give off a healthy look, and the illusion that you took an hour to complete. The most common style women do, is twisting the hair and pinning it up into a bun, but there are so much other options than this.

Instead of dealing with your natural hair, you can do weaves and braids. These are a risky choice, because you want to make sure your hair is not getting pulled tight and you have the right amount of moisture throughout your hair ; Just let your hairstylist know, so that they can work with your hair type and bring supplies that your hair loves. Leave out, is not the best choice because you have hair that is not tucked away, but other styles will work great. Cornrows, box braids, dreads, Faux locs, Havana Twists, French braids are appropriate for protection.

Let youtube be your best friend on this protective style journey. You will find all types of helpful tutorials for natural hair. From head wraps to braids for beginners. Maintaining your hair every night is a full time job, but seeing what method corporate with your schedule is going to be beneficial to you and your hair. Products I use is gel, especially if you want a slick back ponytail. Don't get me wrong, gel and tight does not go with protective styles, but if your ends are tucked away, than you are A okay, sis. I also use coconut oil, a wide tooth comb, water and conditioner mixer, and sometimes Cantu products.

Don't get off track, because your hand and neck hurts. You getting tired of sweeping up hair every night or you running out of products quickly. See the light at the end of the tunnel and keep thriving. Enjoy your natural hair journey girl!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
