The Many Uses of Rose Water

Recently a friend of mine introduced me to rose water. Not only does it have an amazing smell it can be used in various ways.

Rosewater can be used as toner, facial cleanser and a hair moisturizer. Rose water can also be added to bath water for a relaxing invigorating experience.

It has also been said that rose water can cure a sore throat and sore gums (wow....who knew??)

Rose water can also be used as a disinfectant and an air freshener.

I plan on reviewing how rosewater works on my hair....

This should be interesting...stay tuned

Where I'm Going......

Being that I have locs I see alot of sites that discuss being a loose natural. I have learned so much from these sites. Some of my absolute favorite natural hair sites (in no particular order) are

K is for Kinky
For the Fabulous and Frugal
Curly Nikki
Loc Rocker
Leave in the Kinks

I would like this blog to be a information filled resource for those looking for beautiful healthy locs.

I think that sometimes individuals with locs feel that they are limited in the options that are available to them. Sometimes I wish there were more websites out there for locs and loc maintenance. I have come across some wonderful loc sites like

Jungle Barbie
Loc Rocker

my goal is to create a venue that is open and helpful to all but especially helpful to those with locs.

I hope you join me for this ride.

Waiting for them to grow and Loc Envy

I'm guilty of it...yes I am.

I.stare at others who have thick luscious locs. Sometimes I have to catch myself so they don't think I'm psycho.

Today I saw a girl on the train and I admired her hair because it was so free. It wasn't freshly twisted but it just looked so natural. I should have taken a pic. I think I'm going to start taking random pics of locs. (Don't think I'm crazy..LOL).

Although I love to admire others locs I appreciate my own. I admire my own texture and how my hair gets all wavy when I wet it. I admire the thickness. Although its not as thick as I would like its still beautiful and its MINE!

I try not to put to much thought into length I'm more into the  health of my hair and scalp. So for those of you struggling...relax...you will get there

Protective Styling Locs

Hair 101


Today I realized that while freeforming for the summer, I cannot just leave my hair out. I have to protective style it. Just because I have locs doesn't mean that protective styles don't apply to it. I started playing around with protective styling. I'm going to wash my hair on Sunday and come up with a style to wear for the week. I have a business meeting on Monday so I have to make sure my hair looks presentable. I plan to do a cleaner version of this style.







I'm determined to have healthy locs.

Stay tuned for the cleaner version....

Thanks for reading!

SEMI FREEFORMING 8 MONTH OLD LOCS

HAIR 101:

I'm keeping retwisting at a minimum this summer. I want my roots to go stronger. However I'm noticing that my locs don't look or feel as moisturized as I would like them to....










I spritz daily with a oil and water mix and I seal with coconut oil. My locs also feel super skinny. Maybe its because of my bantu knot out that I did earlier this week. I don't know but for some reason my hair feels weird. Maybe its just going through the motions. When I find a remedy to this I'll keep you posted!

in the beginning

In the beginning I had a perm, now I have locs. That is all.

Just kidding.......


Well to sum it up. I love my hair. I have my days when I don't but for the most part I'm loving it.

I hope this blog will show other women of all hair textures to love themselves and embrace what they have.

Stay Tuned....
