TGHBPSC: Month 3
Labels:
Protective Styling
Ladies, can you believe that we have made it 3 months together? How exciting?! It's been so fun embarking on this journey with you all. I actually owe y'all a length check and I hope to have that posted this week. All in all it looks like I have grown about 2.5 inches of hair and retained most of my length. I am excited to see it stretched.
Last week, for about 2 days, I wore my hair in twists that were pinned up. I took them down in the back, cowashed and applied Eco Styler for my first wash and go in MONTHS. I was super pleased with the results. I LOVE Eco Styler (Olive Oil) and so does my hair! I can tell that my hair has grown because I can wear my puff much lower and it still looks full and big.

Oyin Saves the Day: Hair Grease Alternative
Labels:
hair products
The above product is a great alternative to "grease" for those of you skeptical about trying DAX, Murray's, Doo Grow or any of the other old school, "not so good for your hair" products. I live by Oyin and I love their stuff. The Burnt Sugar Pomade is an amazing grease alternative and it's all natural. The product is described as:
"Similar in texture to an old school 'hair grease,' This blend of oils, butters, and veggie waxes acts as a humectant and protectant for hair, increasing shine to a high glossy sheen and locking in moisture. It's packed with essential fatty acids to nourish scalp, and actually sinks into your hair and skin for a long lasting, non-greasy feeling. It's great for braids, imparts shine and moisture to loose hair, brushes nicely into the hairline for a glossy finish, and adds luster to locks!" -Oyin
I love the feel of Burnt Sugar, it does have the old school grease feel minus the not so good ingredients. Burnt Sugar Pomade smells awesome and gives my twist outs definition, shine and softness. The only complaint I have is that my hair will eventually shrink, revert and frizz as the day goes on. I know that is contributed to the natural ingredients, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, I didn't have that issue with DAX because my strands were coated in gook, I know, that sounds bad, LOL!
So, if you are like "Uh, uh! No way am I trying Dax" then Burnt Sugar may be a great alternative for your curlies! I mean, you can't go wrong with the yummy ingredients it has...
Burnt Sugar contains: castor oil, soy wax, organic virgin coconut oil, mango seed oil, olive oil, unrefined hempseed oil, cocoa butter, broccoli seed oil, and fragrance.
The smell is DIVINE!
What's your grease substitute? Please share below.
xoxo,
Alex

In Review: DAX
Labels:
Product Review
Ingredients: Petrolatum, Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Lanolin, Castor (Ricinus Communis) Oil, Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Oil, Olive (Olea Europaea) Oil, Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) Extract, Fragrance (Parfum), D&C Yellow 11 (Cl 47000), D&C Green 6 (Cl 61565)
My experience: First, let me say DO NOT JUDGE ME. Don't go judging me, I don't want nobody judging me *Kevin Hart voice.* LOL, YES y'all I tried DAX and I had a decent experience with it, for those of you who wanted to know. After reading THIS post by Curly Nikki, I had to go out and purchase myself $3 jar. Last week I started tweeting about eventually using it and people went crazy. Some went good crazy and some went "GIRL. Alex, WHAT are you doing?" crazy! I love my natural hair tweeps! Anyways, initially I was super nervous about using it. After reading and re-reading Nikki's post for tips, I decided to jump right in.
How I used it: I used my DAX to twist. I made sure to keep the product AWAY from my scalp. Clogged pores are NO BUENO so if you choose to use this product, stay clear of your scalp. Before applying DAX my hair was clean and damp. I prepped my strands for twisting with lavender water and I sealed with my Safi, Avocado Shea Butter. Be sure to seal your strands first when applying the product. Since mineral oil, petrolatum and lanolin are very heavy, sealing will keep your strands nice and hydrated underneath the DAX. I ended up twisting my hair in about 20 medium sized twists. I kept them for 2 days before unraveling. I must say, Once I took my twists down, I was more than happy with the definition and feel of my hair. My strands don't/didn't feel oily or weighed down after taking the twists out. The best part of my DAX experience was not having frizzy hair by the end of the day. My hair STAYED defined and soft all day.
Overall: I'll be honest, I liked the DAX and I may even use it again *gasp*. I really like how it defined my hair and kept my curls from expanding and frizzing. The DAX even fought off my terrible twist out shrinkage! I blame my this experiment on CurlyNikki, LOL! I was supposed to be an "all natural" type of girl... I guess I stepped out and liked it.

TGHBPSC: Mini Update
Labels:
Protective Styling
I have been really good with wearing my hair up and ends tucked. About twice a week I will wear my puffball with my ends out. Many of you know, I love my puff ball and sometimes I feel like I just need to "see" my hair. Does that make sense? It's been almost a year of protective styling for me. The PS challenge I am hosting will be soon coming to an end *sad face*. Of course, I am going to keep on trucking with it and I am sure a lot of the TGHBPSC participants will too.It's been so fun and those three months have flown by fast! Look how big my fro is in the picture above, it's definitely bigger than it was when I started. The length I am retaining is proof that hard work pays off.
The main point of this little check in post is to share with you my new favorite protective style, the twisted puff bun. I discovered the puff bun not too long ago on Curly Nikki's site and fell in love. The other day I put my own spin on it (I'm sure this is nothing new) I twisted the ends of the puff and tucked/pinned them together. This look was so elegant and pretty! Not only that but it can be dressed up or down. A tutorial is coming soon! I think you all will love it. Click the jump for some pics.
What's your favorite protective style? Please share the wealth below.

GHB Updates x Safi
Labels:
Random
Hey beautifuls, look around. Do you see anything different? I'm sure you've noticed the new layout by now, I hope everyone likes it! I must say, I think it's pretty cute. The graphic designer I worked with did a great job at capturing my vision. Why the change? Well, I guess it was a gift to myself for reaching 1,000,000 blog hits last Thursday! That was EPIC to see and y'all are so awesome for contributing to my blog's success. I just checked my stats again and I am at, 1,017,676. Pretty darn cool! Anyways, that's update 1. I'll be closing the "Bloggin' on a Million" giveaway this Friday at 6pm so if you haven't entered click HERE to do so.
Next up, you see that image above/below? Well I just got Good Hair Button pins made and they will on sale for $5, hopefully by the first week in November. I am so amped to get them too! I will be sticking one on my denim jackets and my school bag.
Guess who's back?! Yup, Safi. I will be having the Safi fall sale ready to launch by the end of the week hopefully. All of the ingredients came, I am just waiting on the packaging. I know y'all are like "it's about time!" I feel the same way. There will only be 2 products offered as of now, your favorite Avocado Shea Butter and a seasonal Pumpkin Hair/Body Pudding! Like most of my batches there will be limited quantities. If the sales do well this fall I will restock accordingly. :)
So, that's about it for updates! Thanks again for all the support, I LOVE Y'ALL. If you want a little more info on the 1 million blog hits, watch the video below.
