Hair Challenge

I am on this 15 day hair challenge. I got to day 6 with no problem, but since life seemed to get in the way off my activities, I had to hold back on posting. So, I'll just finish it up here.

Day 7- Create an updo using twist out/braid out/bantu knot out.



Day 8- Wash and deep condition hair



Day 9- Try a new style that you've never done before
Because my locs are still sort of new, and I've been going through somethings, I've yet to try something new with them. Stay tuned.

Day 10- Add an accessory to your hair
Here are some I like to add to my hair:



Day 11- Make an easy DIY product
Sometimes, I like to take the "hair grease" that I have, and add extra elements to them. In the picture below, I have Herbal thick "grease" and I've added Pooka Oil (which has lemon oil, avocado oil, olive oil,rosemary oil, and peppermint oil, I added some castor oil and some WGO and I usually let it sit in the freezer for a couple of hours, but I forgot to do it this time around)

Day 12- Show favourite product(s) and tell why you love it/them
This is the Pooka Oil

Introduction

So, I have never had a hair blog, but I have seen many of them!(And I also want to reach out across seas and languages, so don't be surprised if you see a post written in Spanish or French!)

So, here is my hand at one, and here is a little back story on my hair:

I became a natural lady on the 18 July 2007, when I was 18. through many trials and tribulations, I was able to grow my hair from ear length to APL in as little as 2-3 years and in the 4th year, my hair was stagnant, mainly from stress and depression.

So, on the 14 December 2010, I decided to loc my hair. I had been contemplating it for a while, after falling in love and having a love affair with my friends locs, so I dived in and haven't looked back yet.

In doing so, I have been able to find my staple products, mainly because I'm not trying to define a curl pattern anymore, I'm just focused on the budding and upkeep of my locs.

I currently latch my hair and want to break free from it, because it's tedious and it's doing the most to me (my opinion).

I am currently into my 6th month of having locs, and it's going swell, I suppose.

I will be posting pictures sometime at the end of this week, so for the time being, please, enjoy a video I made like 2 weeks ago!
