 I [absolutely] love the shoes. I need to bring some bad heels into the new year. Colored heels always add a vibrant splash to your outfit. {not to sure about the gold buttons though}

Must get these shades! Have no idea where to get them but it is a must that I get them.

Blazer and a nude lip! Ahhhh! Something every outfit could use! Very intrigued by the second outfit and the huge hair! It's time to change things up and bit an not be afraid to make a statement.

Natural Hair Care Regimen

New to the world of natural things and you keep hearing about a natural hair care regimen?  Well going natural and getting the most growth isn't as simple as you think. For some, they can cut their hair tomorrow and have long hair next week, for the rest of us our hair grows at dirt slow pace. To make that pace snail speed we try and come up with a regimen which should help this process. No one can tell you what your regimen is but I can tell you what my own is and you can do your own little tweaks to it. You may choose to wash on Thursdays, I  been washing my hair on Fridays/Saturdays since high school. Try to keep the moisturizing a twice a day thing. By the end of the day our hair is dry and needs that life back.

Monday

• Moisturize hair <A.M. &P.M.> with either spray mixture or coconut oil. (take a dime size amount [little goes a long way] and evenly apply it through my hair.
• Protective style
• Seal the VERY ENDS with Castor oil. Don't forget I'm transitioning and still have some love for my relaxed ends. I like to keep my hair very light when I wear it flat ironed.

Tuesday

• Same

Wednesday

• Co-wash [only once in a while]

Thursday

• Same

Friday

• Wash Day
• Pre-poo with Alikay Naturals Essential Oil/ Olive Oil/ Castor Oil/ Any oil
• Wash with Moisturizing Shampoo and Condition 1 hour with mixed conditioners. Sometimes add heat
• Deep condition [once a month]. If you over condition your hair [is a such thing] it can make your hair limp.
• Seal with Coconut Oil
• Air Dry

Saturday

• Sometime Saturdays are my wash days. It depends.

Sunday

• Same

Look at what time it is. Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and Christmas isn't to far behind. Now I know for some of you this means Christmas shopping, and overtime work, but have you thought about the gift your going to give your hair this season? Didn't think your hair needed a gift this year? Well it DOES! Because of the cold weather your hair is going to need your help more than ever. I previously addressed ways to protect your hair from the winter weather in my post Brrr..It's Cold in here, but what if your not wearing protective styles? Well here's my tell all!

Tips

1. Use a nourishing moisturizer shampoo and an intensive conditioner.
2. Pre-poo (applying oil like olive oil to the scalp in excess) before your wash. 
3.  Air dry more often.
4. Avoid  heat appliances and perming or coloring.
5. Maybe increase the amount of times you wash your hair (could rotate co-washing and shampooing)
6. Apply oils such as coconut oil on the scalp lightly and massaging through hair to tips.
7. Spray hair with water and oil mixture.
8. Do steam treatments.
9. 'Baggy' your hair with deep moisturizer for 30+.

Here are some Essential oils you can use to help the dry hair problem

*Note: Essential oils should not be directly applied to hair. You must dilute them in water or in your concoctions.

1. Myrhh
2. Peppermint
