Awesome Products for Naturally Curly Hair



I haven't always had naturally curly hair. I had stick straight hair most of my life. I hated to try to style it because it would just go flat in a short time. After I had my daughter in 2007 I developed curls. Some people hate there curls but I love mine most of the time. This winter has been hard on my hair though. I developed dry frizzed ends which were back shortly after having them trimmed. I tried everything and have finally come up with a combo that seems to work great for now. Summer may change my routine but for the time being I will be using these awesome products.
As much as I love nice hair I'm not willing to spend a fortune to have it. So when I found Suave Professionals Almond + Shea  Butter Shampoo and Conditioner I was thrilled because a large bottle is less than $3 at Walmart. Another thing I like about them is they are 100% Natural. I have been trying to get away from chemicals any chance I get. Since my hair runs on the dry side I got the moisturizing kind and wow it sure makes my hair soft. Plus it smells GREAT!



After I wash and condition my hair I gently towel dry it and comb it with a wide tooth comb then I take a small quarter size dollop of Curls Unleashed Set it Off Curl Boosting Jelly. I rub it through my hair concentrating more on the lower half of my hair. Then I gently scrunch it every so often as it air drys. I supposed you could use a diffuser to dry it if you are in a hurry but I have not tried it it. I found this product at Walmart in the section for African American hair care, it is a huge jar for about $8. I love it! It is a jelly like constancy and it is not sticky or oily and it smells very nice. It is just right. It leaves your hair very soft, not crunch or crispy.


If you have hair like mine let me know if you try these how they work for you!

Awwww Chwwwww Natural Hope for Allergy Misery




Oh my goodness this is my life lately: sneeze, sneeze, sniff, sniff and the itching UHG!! It is making me crazy! I have had hayfever all my life but this year has been awful. I try the over the counter meds to help but even the non-drowsy make me sleepy and foggy. So I went on Pinterest to see if anyone has any natural remedies to help the sneezing, because the sneezing is about to drive me up the wall. Here are a few things I found and am going to try:

This web site Natural Healthy Concepts sells a lot of natural products and also has an article about detoxing for allergy relief. Interesting info.

Young Living Essential Oils carry natural products. I'm not sure if these oils are mixed into water or what but I'm thinking of giving this a try.


I love Women's Day and this article gives 10 natural allergy remedies. I really like honey and probiotic, these are probably the ones I will try first.
I need to start to try some of these ideas ASAP. I will keep you all updated on what works and what doesn't. If any of you have any ideas that work for you please let me know!
Let's Roll!!
