Upcoming Videos!

Hey everyone.

Just wanted to let your know what's upcoming shortly (hopefully).

I want to do 5 minute videos on different topics. Starting from shampooing, straight through to a simple style, I really want to continue to help persons by giving them the necessary information to better care for their hair. Based on my experiences and questions I've been asked, some of the topics are:

• Combing natural hair
• Shampooing and conditioning
• Cowashing
• Twists
• Using gel and more...

I know all of you have asked me to record more videos and I truly want to but time and space constraints are the real prohibiting factors. If there are specific video requests you have for this series or outside of it, please comment below so I can start working out when and how in advance. Don't forget to subscribe to the blog (top, right hand column) and to my YT channel, To The Naturally Inclined.

Thanks for reading!!! As always,

I'm On Vacation!!!

Hello my lovelies!

Yes, as the title says I am on 2 weeks break from anything productive as it seems. I really don't know what's going to happen to me next week when I return to the cave work :-}.

I didn't travel like I wanted to, I haven't sewn a stitch and I have not styled my hair up to now! Things looking grim ya'll. I was my full intention to do something cute since last week but I wanted to go to the beach for the first time in months before I washed my hair. Now that I've been, bare afros in de place!!! I actually put 3 twist in my hair last night when I started to style and now...my hair is in one. lol. At least it's in one!!! hahahaha :-D

I'm going to blame all this on the allergy attack I've been suffering through and will try to do something tonight!!! Yes!! A style...tonight...*sigh* pray for me...

Wow...typing sure takes alot of energy...this must be that Histal...I took...earlier...

Bye guys. zzZZZ

My Hair: Twisted Up-do

Hey lovelies.

I wanted to share my new style with you.

Disclaimer: This is a "OhCrapIt'sSundayNightAndIHaveWorkInTheMorningWhatAmIGoingToDoWithThisHairAtElevenOClock?!?" style.

Still, I think it turned out really nice. :-)
The pictures are at the end of a really long day so please excuse the greasy face and the rolls, lol.

The products I used to achieve this look I'm going to do a review on, especially the LOCALLY MADE CURLY PUDDING. That's right, capitalized and all. Soo, tell me if you like it in the comments section below.

Thanks for reading.

My New Pillow Case!

Hey peoples!

We all know, or we should know, that we are supposed to sleep with our hair tied down with a satin scarf or something of the like to prevent our hair from rubbing on the rough material. This goes for anyone with hair, whether natural or chemically treated. This is the same reason why hair that's allowed to rub on your shirt typically breaks off, because the rough fibers of our clothing snags the hair and when we move our heads, *snap!* Materials such as cotton, while sometimes soft to the touch, can do serious damage to the delicate strands of out manes.

Now sometimes when you get home in the evening, if you're anything like me, all you want to do is sleep, forget looking for the scarf/cap/bonnet! And if you do manage to tie it down before you go to sleep, when you wake up sometimes you can't even find it! :-@ That twist out you were trying to maintain is dry and you're wondering where the scarf/cap/bonnet went. Correction: I'M wondering where it went. I sometimes have to tie it tightly just so it would stay on, but that results in serious tension headaches.

I have fixed the problem!! I made myself a nice, lovely, gorgeous satiny pillowcase!!!

MuahahAHaHAhAhahAHahAhaHaHAhAHaha!!! That's right, I made it, myself! I was sooo tired of getting up from a blissful rest to remember that my hair would look jacked up if I didn't cover it. Sometimes I woke with it jacked up cuz I couldn't make myself move. *sigh* :-D

I made three of these today for myself and my sisters because I KNOW those two don't do what they should. Now, I can make it in a snap! They fit nicely and have an inside piece that prevents it from coming off the pillow. *double sigh* Do you see how pretty it is? tee hee hee

Want one? I'm thinking to make them for sale for about $3.50 to $5. What do you think?

New Style

Hey!!

Some rapid fire posting going on, I know. I'm just so psyched! Just wanted to share with you the last real style I had. It was for this year's 100 Voice project.

If it wasn't obvious, that's me in the front. :-D

Btw, some wonderful perks to this new community we've got going on.

1. More persons to try out products that are found in Barbados. That's one of the reasons I started this blog.
2. More natural hair stylists. YaY! Hopefully not at eye gouging prices. As you can see from above, I style pretty well, if I do say so myself. :-)
3. More recession busters!! When you see a deal when you're shopping around, send in the good news!

I'm sure I'll think of more later. Have a wonderful night!!

Natural Hair Scene in Barbados

Hey all.

I'm seeing something strange, albeit lovely going on in Barbados. Scratch that! Something downright wonderful!!! We, apparently, have spread the word strong enough, rocked our curls and kinks fierce enough and shouted Black Is Beautiful LOUD enough!!! We have a natural hair community in this place!!!
*The crowd goes wild and natural hair streakers are being detained*

This is big, BIG news for all of us who have being pushing this thing and trying to get persons to realize that we don't need to follow the trend and conform! My curls REFUSE to walk to straight and narrow path! NO! tee hee hee.

When I went all off in early 2008, I knew nothing about my hair. I was just tired of the burns. And I wanted everyone to experience my freedom! Since then, I have become a natural hair advocate sneaking up on the unsuspecting in beauty supply shops, on my friends and family. I have cut the hair of my sister, my mother, my aunt and my next-door neighbour and encouraged my friends to be my Guinea People, lol.

I love natural hair, and there's no going back for me. Apparently others feel the same way. This has reawakened my desire to blog and vlog and all that stuff and I'm truly excited!! I have a few updates I'll share later, one of them being how I've decided to let my hair grow out.

I've Been Bad...

...very bad, I know.

I totally jumped off the wagon with this blog and for those of you who read it, I'm sorry. How many of you are there, btw??

A lot has been going on with me and life has just been sooo busy recently. So what's up?? I want to know how long your hair has grown, if you like your new cut, if going back to straight hair worked out for you, if going natural makes you happy, if you found that miracle product, WHATEVER! Let me know.

A few things are up with me. First thing straight off, my cell took a swim. Yes. It did. So that transcript that I was working on...yeh, you get it. I couldn't find the usb for my phone so I could take nothing off then when I finally found it, my phone felt the irrational need to cool off, so there.

Secondly, I have not taken a photo of my hair in several months. So no visual record of hair growth to compare to. I do, however, look at my hair now compared to how it was before I got the dye job of nightmares and it's about the same.

Third thing, my ends are not in good shape. The knots and split ends from hell are driving me nuts but I had decided a little while ago to stop being so trigger happy with a pair of scissors in my hand, therefore, I don't want to cut it now that I'm seeing some length. *sigh*

There's a lot more but I didn't want to make this so long-winded. Stay tuned for more of what's going on and follow the blog if you want to know more about the business that I'm starting, what I'm using to repair my hair and to just be an encouragement.

Thanks for reading,
